weather or not

its snowing here, suppsoed to be one to two inches.

%^&$# weather!

yes, it's surprising cold and very wet here. bit a bust for the holiday break :(

No weather here. It's on holiday in Australia.

cold. but we've had surprisingly little snow so far this year.

I knew it, we got three inches!

Much colder here than it was this weekend, but only a fine dusting of snow.

Only 3 inches! . . .I'm jealous! From the 24th to yesterday we here in MN got between 12-21 inches. On Christmas the snowbanks were just a little bit over my knees (and I'm 5'6)! Then it got to 34 and rained on top of all that snow--so we now have ice-banks and completely frozen roads :(

well kate, you can keep all that, OK? I'm happy with three inches

It's snowing. Not sure how much we'll get, but it was beastly cold today.

My cousin just got back from Los Angeles with his band and says he does not miss the cold S.F. bay area. I've told him that it rained just for him.

It is bitterly cold outside.... the high only 29 degrees. :( Not a happy day, I need to move somewhere warmer!

Catching up on our bit of weather
Christmas Eve: snow begins
Christmas Day: still snowing, we have 4 inches.
Dec. 26: About 4 inches, on top of an inch of ice. We are stuck at home. No big deal.
Dec. 27: Able to get out for church, but roads are still a bit nasty.
Dec. 28: nice weather, snow begins to melt.
Dec. 29: nice weather again, snow is almost all melted except for that which the sun doesn't hit.
Dec. 30: (about 2 a.m.) more snow. About an inch this time, but turns to rain at 6 a.m. and melts most of the snow away, including that which was left over.
Dec....well still 30: Been raining on and off all day.

we got a little snow overnight. now the roads are packed snow, very slick.

It is snowing a bit now but we aren't supposed to get much....

It snowed last night but I thought I heard rain as well. Haven't looked outside yet

Maybe an inch, inch and a half of snow. Supposed to change over to rain by this afternoon.

SNOW! Made it to work, slowly. we're getting those giant flakes at the moment.

Mix of rain/freezing rain. We still have some clumps of snow in the front yard from the 7" we got on the the 18th, but we sadly haven't had any more fall. Given the current weather conditions, I am very glad we're staying in tonight...

We've got snow on the ground and fog in the air. I'm glad I'm staying home tonight!

SNOW!

no wait... sorry, it's just sand.

#21: LOL

SNOW! Our weather came back!

We're down to -14 degrees Fahrenheit :(

C-c-c-cold . . . (Not quite as cold as katelisim's weather, but it won't get above 24 degrees Fahrenheit here today.) We're also getting a little bit of snow, but not serious snow.

Our weather is the same as yours foggi, cold with snow flurries

Here in Norway it`s about -7 degrees celsius:) And a WHOLE lot of snow!

I must change my information, it is snowing like crazy here in lovely central ohio!

#21 MrA:
My father pulled a similar trick on me when I was a kid. We were headed to Utah, went over some mountains, and all about the bottom of the road was completely white. He parked, my sisters and I ran out of the car, and were greeted by...salt. Lots and lots of salt. It was a salt reservoir. ;)

I'm going to be the next odd one to say no snow. Just the same old fake cold, with grey clouds gathering over the green hilltops that surround us. The hills, and later the moon, were so beautiful that I really wished I had my camera with me more than once today.

fake cold,K? What is fake cold?

A few inches of snow with it still coming down. Church services have been cancelled. I wonder if we'll get an extra day of winter break because of this.

Fake cold is the opposite of real cold. I would say Norway is real cold at -7°C. :o)

But how do I know what my cold is? I don't want fake cold! I insist on real all-natural cold with no artificial flavors or fillers!

I'd say real cold is anything below freezing, as opposed to frigging cold, which is anything below 0°F. Right now, we are experiencing real cold with a wind chill of frigging cold.

It is frigid outside. Nasty cold weather needs to go away :( I should have been born on the west coast where it is fake cold... I could deal with that.

we're still having a mild winter. with temperatures above freezing most of the time. I hope there has at least been enough snow in the mountains, because when there isn't there's a power shortage the next summer. washington is the state of dams.

Its good that Ohio is having this cold snap, prehaps it will kill all the flu bugs around. I know it will kill some bug larve in the ground

Here, when it is below freezing, like in the 20s they think it is "bitterly cold". Ha!! The wimps.

#32-34 --> ROFL! And I'm sorry. That was only over the explanation and polly not wanting anything artificial, almost like artificial flavors for food.

It's fifty-four degrees with clear skies.

cold here....
We may make it a 2 day work week. There was no school yesterday because of icy roads, and we have another system coming in late tomorrow night that will do about the same thing.

We are getting snow -- a few inches, which is a lot for us. Schools are closed today, but the library is not, so I am going in to work soon. I'm hoping the roads will not be too bad.

Our schools are delayed but not closing. I think they are afraid too.

Here, as stated before, has been below 0 F without windchill, but getting warmer.

I love going to places with fake cold and higher that can't imagine getting colder and walking around in a t-shirt. People look horrified at the prospect, but coming from this weather, it feels like a slice of almost summer ;)

We went to Florida one January, I think it was in the 50's (Fahrenheit not 1950's I ain't that old) I was running around in Shorts and a T-Shirt while the locals were wearing parka's as a Middle schooler I thought it was great.

It is cold again :( lol a well deserves duh! It's winter. Tomorrow is supposed to be clear thank-goodness becuase I have a lot of driving to do, but friday we are supposed to get 1-3 inches in the morning.

It's supposed to get above freezing today for a little while. Then reaaaally cold. Our snow that is coming is looking to be about 1-2 inches now.

whee we are in our first snow emergency of the year!

What kind of an emergency does snow have? *waits for a punchline*

I don't know....a sudden heat wave?

If we go up to a level two snow emergency i don't have to go to work until 9 am!

The snow is coming down hard here, too. We actually closed early tonight!

We might get a dusting of snow overnight. I'm not holding out any hope...

Roads were icy this morning. School was cancelled.

We're sitting at 1 degree right now (feels like -15). Yeah...
Don't know if we'll go tomorrow yet.

We had an earthquake today, which isn't weather, but it's geographic still. It was a 4.1 and centered not far from my home. This one actually scared me because, rather than feeling it, I mainly got spooked hearing the roof and ceiling rumble. I couldn't figure out what it was until someone shouted "earthquake!" I'd just known it was too big for an animal, and I've never heard one of our giant tree branches come crashing on the roof before. When I got to work, they told me products had fallen off the shelves during it.

#54 - Eeek! Hope everyone and everything is okay!

Snowy here, but it's nothing surprising. It's actually a little funny that the meteorologists all said it would be a three day storm with 8-12 inches, but in reality we got 4-5 inches yesterday and it stopped late in the evening. :)

we are still snowing but the accumulation is slow. Schools were closed but the daycare was open.

Our high is above 0!!!!! . . . but our windchill is still below :(
Not quite as bad as it has been tho

#55 el:
Thanks, el! Everyone and everything's fine.

Earthquakes that we can actually feel like to occur near each other in time and location so we had another one, a 3.7, today. It was the first time I felt one at work. It was a shame no one asked me, "Is that an earthquake?" I get asked that all the time when it's just the elevator making our floor move, something for which we say is our exclusive foot massager. ;)

It's spitting snow again, but really not sticking. Woke up to 0 degrees this morning, and right now we're sitting at 5 degrees. School was closed again due to icy side roads. I know Tulsa closed schools yesterday and today because of the cold. They don't run bus services in a 2 mile radius around the school, so they have a lot of kids who walk to school.

Earthquakes are gregarious creatures.

It's hot here, darn hot. A bit alarming at 10am.

*checks forecast*
31C/88F around here, 36C/98F other parts of the city.

BEACH DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you know, this might be the first time all summer that it's been sunny on the weekend? I blame Al Gore.

I might as well copy the first two sentences of my last post. Basically...spitting snow, not sticking, 5 degrees.

When I spit, it never comes out as snow. I suppose if it's that cold, it freezes before impact.

:o)

I have sunshine and 22F, which feels much more comfortable than the teens we've had lately.

We're actually going to see a high above 40F, with sun and little wind today - woo!

It's supposed to be 42 here today. We'll see. Even if it does get that high the kids will be inside for recess. Snow is still on the playground. No where else, but still on the playground. You know it will all be gone come Wednesday, which is my duty day.

We're completely above zero!!!!! :)
It's a heat-wave in Minnesota!!!

OH Boy! break out the flip flops!

I already saw someone in shorts. . . seriously. After any jump up of 15 degrees or more in temp, I see someone in shorts. It's pretty ridiculous, but I love the spectacle of someone in shorts with a 20 foot mound of snow behind them :)

Ug, we are supposed to get ice and snow and then it's supposed to get cold and stay that way all week. Bleh.

Good news: The temp is hovering in the upper 20s-low 30s

Bad news: Whenever moisture falls from the sky, it instantly freezes on my windshield :(

SNOW! Tons of it! Enough already! I'm so glad I don't have to go anywhere this weekend!

I don't understand the need to officially cancel our Bible study tomorrow morning. Wouldn't the fact that we can't get out of our driveways, etc pretty much cancel it? Big email discussion on this discussion. I wouldn't get up at 4 to shovel out the driveway to go because we didn't declare it canceled.

It's cold... been in the high 20s, low 10s recently.

yesterday was warm and sunny, today was rainy. the weather has me wierded out, because it's still supposed to be winter for another month or two here, so where is the snow?

It's all over here on the East Coast.

Okay, I was trying to post a picture of my current view, but it's being stupid so, just trust me. We have all the snow.

It is beautiful outside!! 20 inches so far.

Wow, 20? We're on the edge of the system, so we've gotten 2 inches so far, and will get another 1-2 before it stops today. I'm supposed to take my car to the mechanic at 10, so I just cleared and salted the driveway. The snow is over a layer of rain and slush, so it's really nasty to deal with and I'm sure the roads are slippery. I'm calling the mechanic first to make sure they are still open. . . .

And now all of us in the eastern end of the US are getting just what we all wanted . . . more snow! *rolls eyes*

They're calling for another 12-18" here.

We had lots of snow (about 7-10 inches) yesterday, but not much of it would stick. It was that huge flaky stuff that is so pretty to watch. Schools all around us are closed because of icy roads, but not us. We have more coming on Thursday, and the beginning of next week.

We got heavy, wet snow over night (about 3", I think). Then it turned to sleet and ice, so the snow is getting a crunchy top layer that makes it really hard to clear off. It's supposed to change to rain this afternoon, but then ice again tonight and snow tomorrow. Yuck.

We are supposed to get another 18-24" here through tonight and into tomorrow. Not Happy about it...

meanwhile, in the Northwest, people are wondering how in the world our winter has been so mild, and wondering if it's really over, like the weather has been indicating since early January.

seriously, I think we've had maybe 4 inches of snow total.

I'm thinking it's weird how nice the weather's been these days. I mean, it's cold, in the low 10s maybe, but it's not as freezing as it should be. I'm not complaining! But it's just a little weird.

I am snowed in with everyone else. Here in central MD we're looking for another 14 to 20 inches on top of the 2 feet we have. Sigh. It will be a beautiful spring...when it gets here.

It's snowing! It's snowing!

It's snowing here, too . . . but not as much as they said it was going to snow. We're getting very fine powder now, as opposed to the wet stuff we got yesterday when it was warmer. No significant additional accumulation, though, so I'm off to work.

what is this "snow"of which you speak?

Hey there, MrA!
Snow: Very hard and cold rain.

Mr. A, try googling "snow". It could help you. Being a native Californian I never saw snow until I was 18.

oh. like hail then.

Hail no!

I just looked outside. If this was hail, our roof would have caved in by now!

Hail Lite. Just as cold but fewer calories than regular hail.

LOL! Exactly!
I've heard there are something like 30 words for snow in Eskimo. I wonder how many of them are printable?

I'm guessing it's about 27 degrees outside, now, but 35 in the daytime, and around 97% humidity. We try to keep it at 24 degrees, indoors.

We got a bunch of snow, but the weirder natural phenomenon was the earthquake that woke me up at 4 am.

And yes, I am in Illinois.

It was a pretty small one (3.8) about 40 miles from where I live - no damages or casualties reported - but it's still very startling to have the occasional shake up in the Midwest!

MrA: I prefer to think of it as the freezer burn of the natural world

We've been somewhat mild. . . We got around 4-6 inches last weekend, but that's not too much considering most of our other snowfalls. Today we started at 7 degrees, but the last week or two it's been in the upper teens/lower twenties. I'm just glad it isn't negative 50 like last year :D

I just want it to go away, now. I've oooo'ed and ahhhhed at it and threw a couple snowballs, now I'm done. Bring on the spring!

So far today, 12.5 inches and it keeps coming.

We had a blizzard yesterday. I think somewhere along the lines of another 18 inches on top of the 20-24 we got last time... I am ready for the spring.

Lovely pictures, Mandy!

RE snow:
I'm a CA native who first saw it at four months old. ;) I know, it's cheating, though. It's when I moved to Utah. :)

It's just been stormy-looking here lately. I've missed most of the rain while working. I saw the first person without sleeves for 2010 just yesterday and thought of some of you.

My hubby is in LA right now and he said he keeps seeing people in wool hats and long sleeves and coats while he is sweating in short sleeves.

That's how native Californians could spot a tourist, not bundled up in 50 degree weather.

Please send snow now. We're dying from heat exhaustion over here. This is the clock outside my workplace.

Oh dear! hmmm.....

#106 -- I could stick some in a box and mail it, but I just don't think it would make it to you undamaged. And your Customs people might be confused by it.

its snowing again,here! Enough!

It has rained a lot these past couple months! The awful streets by my school were flooded and I am very happy I don't live over there. But now it is warming up and in the low 70s, I believe.

okay, ditto post 109! over the next day and a half we are suposed to get another one to three inches

Aw, rats. It looks like we're going to get more snow, too. It's supposed to snow all day tomorrow. The official "Winter Storm Warning" is saying that we will get 5-8 inches, but the last couple times they've said that, we've gotten 1-3. Which is still more than I really want at this point.

Could be worse... I was walking in the park on the way to the metro today, and the packed snow I was walking on put my feet about level with some park benches I passed.

Snow has a completely different meaning over here, and pictures just don't convey it accurately.

Our has been changed now to 5-7, 4-8, and a couple others. I know that as I drove home I couldn't see very far in front of me

We got some more slippery thin layers of snow. . . On the way to school, there was a 3 mile stretch of freeway that had 6 cars spun out to the sides/ditches and an 8th that was upside down

The mustard is in bloom in the vineyards. Pretty!

For the first time in 4 weeks, we have a snow-free forecast for the next 10 days! I love snow, but that's largely because we usually only get a decent snowfall a couple of times a winter. The weekly multi-inch snowfalls we've had are a bit much...

#117 -- Lucky you! We have snow predicted for five days out of the next ten. Not necessarily big snow, but still.

We have another storm heading our way....sigh!

It was really nice today. It got to be 55 degrees. Tomorrow starts a 3 day stretch of rain.

It's lovely outside, not too hot for the snow to be slushy but not too cold for it to be hard. And we have a nice breeze blowing through and partly covered skies... wonderful!

It's scorching hot over here...They have been the hottest days in a while, I am scared to think of the temperatures during Easter (the hottest time of year here)

It's still below freezing--think we are hitting mid to upper 20s-- but the sun is soooooo warm that there are huge puddles on the ground :D

Though, I won't like them when they turn to ice overnight, just nice to see some sign of warmth coming

We had a misty mild day that turned the snow slushy and made the ice more slippery. The kind of weather thats hard on creaky joints

Snowing--started this morning, school was let out at 10:30. It took me twice as long to get home. We should get several inches, which will make for quite a mess, as it seldom snows here.

Raining like crazy.

Forecast to get snow again tomorrow. Nothing much this time thankfully, but after an excellent weekend with sunshine and temps reaching 60 F, I'm ready to be done with winter, thank you very much!!

Calling for another foot of snow around here the next two days. It's supposed to be sister weekend starting on Friday. :(

NOOOOOO!!!!! We're Below Zero. . . . Again *angered sigh

well Our snow never came, It snowed all day but it didn't stick

I woke up to the sound of rain roaring this morning. It was raining hard! But now it's just windy and wet.

It's above freezing (36-40F) ALL WEEK!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited! I already saw a bunch of people in t-shirts or with sweatshirt+shorts combo

We are going to have moderate temps too! It feels nice after the cold cold

132: Shorts and t shirts in 40 degree weather, has to be MN!! It was a lovely 39 degrees on Saturday evening when Mutombu and I went out to dinner, I thought I didn't need my heavy jacket. Then some people came in complaining it was bitterly cold!! They must have been from AZ!

^Definitely MN :)
The sun has been so bright and warm! So close to spring. I won't fool myself this year though, there is always a snowstorm in March before spring actually gets going

Always during the state high school basketball tournaments!! And I remember it snowed on April 14th one year.

It's sunny and almost 60*! :D Best day so far! I have to bustle a bridal gown real quick and then it's outside with a book.

We had rain last Friday but nothing but sunny skies since. Early Saturday morning, I was treated to a slight glow in the eastern sky with a thin crescent moon. It made me realize that it's been a while since I've seen a moon because of all the clouds we've had this winter.

it started out Cloudy but is now sunny! Cool but not too cool, very nice!

we went to the park to enjoy the sunshine today. Adara got to go down the slide.

hot, hot, hot, hot, and muggy.

cool, nice, partly sunny but rain is expected. I hope so since I spread grass seed yesterday.

Snow. After 2 hours of raining we decided to measure and it was 11 inches.

Oh, Kirby, I'm sad for you. Is it gone yet? If we get any more snow here I will cry. It was warm and sunny today and I just don't think I could handle giving that up!

Just reading this now. Lefty, it was gone after 2 days. We had some seriously warm (60-70 degrees) days right after the snow. Then it rained for 2 days, then it was warm again. Today it was nice and sunny for 1/2 the day. The wind was bad, but it was still pretty. Spring is here. Hopefully no more snow will come, since we've had such a weird Winter will more snow than we've seen in 10 years. I remember when I was a kid that we would get lots of snow like this year, but it hasn't happened in about 10 years. Summer will probably be an extremely hot one. What we're watching for now is all the tornadoes again. Our state has already seen 4 this month.

So, for the last few years there has been blizzard like conditions on my bday--March 31. This year it's forcasted to be in the 70s. I want to be excited, but it might jinx it. . .

Lightning + Thunder (really loud) + 2nd floor + 24 8-year old girls + end of the day/week = Well, I'll let you guess on that one.

ETA component

^I'm jealous (of the thunder/lightning part, not the children part). We've had that forcasted for days. . . they keep pushing it back a few hours at a time. I want my storm!

we are supposed to get a T-storm tomorrow. Right now its sunny and 80*! feels so nice

It has threatened storms here all day, but we haven't gotten more than a sprinkling. I suspect the thunderstorms will roll in tonight.

I hope so! I love thunderstorms

rain but no thunderstorms, very boring

We'll take boring right now. The last couple of days have been tragic for my state. Lots of damage and several deaths due to tornados. Luckily for my family it was south of us.

Today is sunny with a scattering of clouds.

It looks like our rain has finally ended for the summer and the heat is turning up this week. Aren't the weeds happy!

Our rain is over for now and the sun is shining big!

In MN today, the low up north was 26 and the high down south was 90ish. . . and I still haven't seen any rain, let alone a thunder storm

It is supposed to be gorgeous out tomorrow here 82 and low humidity! I hope it comes as promised as I plan on spending the whole day at the zoo and taking tons of pictures!

we are expecting a great day today! high around 80*

wow is it windy, right now! i know there's a cold front moving thru that is causing it but ....wow!

Today is a beautiful day, lovely breeze blowing!!

There were flakes of snow this morning :(
It was almost 90 degrees last week, and now its only in the 40s

today has been so gray and windy, I got up puttered around and laid back down again, the wind whistled and blew so hard the trailer skirt came making noise, it was pleasant lying warm and comfy in bed

It's nice and warm over here. 71 degrees outside right now.

Muggy last night. We had some pretty good storms last night/early this morning, and are waiting on some more to roll through.

We've been in the low to mid 50s. Better than that curséd snow the other day

I saw blue skies with a few spots of clouds around 10:00 a.m. Now it's really dark and gray. I wonder if the rain will hold out. We'll see. Today is recess duty for me and I usually have it on my days.

Ack! A couple nice days now we are into our fourth day of rain and overcast skies. we had to put the furnace on for awhile because everything started feeling damp and clammy.

Bad storms last night. We had to spend a couple of hours in the hallway for them to pass. We're supposed to get another round today.

Tomorrow it's supposed to be nice again. I hope it is because we have a field trip tomorrow and everything is outside.

We're hot now. . . supposed to get around 90 on Sunday. I don't like. Just to recap and fully convey the ridiculousness that is Minnesota's weather: We get snow and 90s in the same month.
