How's the Weather?

[angiemarie]

While deleting some spam threads, I accidentally deleted the "How's the weather" thread. :blush: (Go ahead, you can all point and laugh at the stupid mod)

So until someone can figure out how to undelete the old thread, I've started a new one.

Btw, it's 72 degrees and sunny with a nice breeze here in Pittsburgh.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Aww Angie - I wish I knew how to get it back. I'm hoping Kronus can figure it out. Maybe he's off on the weekend?

Maybe we can use this a clean slate for all new better weather for everyone?

[giffordsaz]

Wow.... that is mucho power you have..... I know you will use it wisely when I ask you to delete the 115 degree wether I have been dealing with the past week. I am counting on you as my brain has actually started turning into human jerky. my air conditioner is almost running constantly to chill my house to a balmy 80 degrees.

Please any of you with a gigantic freezing machine.. point it to southern Arizona and help a sister out.

[Clair]

Point that gigantic freezing machine to So Cal too. :D

[lennonwhore]

Then I don.t want to mention that it is a cool 68 degrees with a strong wind blowing here in Lancaster, KY....

[chooch850]

63 and thunderstorms on and off here..... can you delete that for me Ang?.......... or make it 75 with a slight breeze?

[giffordsaz]

OMG.. make it stop.. and I saw lightening over my mountains this afternoon.. which menas no freaking rain because the humidity is at about 3%.. it just mens fire.... yeah fire.. ****ingfire starters.....

if you want to see what we are dealing with put 85338 into your weather zip code search and take a look. I guess i know where the devil spends his summers.

[angiemarie]

But it's a dry heat, so that's not as bad, right? :ohmy:


It's going to be 88 and muggy here today. I was getting so spoiled by all of the mids 70's days we've been having the past few weeks.

[giffordsaz]

Yes Angie, it is a real dry heat.. just like a blow dryer on a windy day.. but the temp is not jacked for humidity at all until monsoon season. and I actually have no sun today as the 1000+ acre fire 10 miles from my house is blotting it out. Lightening storm last night. We get those too. There is not enough moisture in the air to rain so the bolts of electricity just strike the dry desert and we catch on fire. And all the drop planes took off last week for Cali to put out wime country so we have the trucks on the ground trying to contain it.....

Why am i so bitter about this... i don't understand.. it is just mother nature after all!?

[LonnaSaur]

Smothering humidity. I hate it!

[brunettechic]

It's storming!!!

[lennonwhore]

Here too!

[jampony]

Smothering humidity. I hate it!

It's storming!!!
Here too!


Smothering humidity and rain in Chicago. It's unpleasant.

[giffordsaz]

did i mention it as hot today?

[Cherie]

Stormy as hell. Boo.

[RachWho?]

The weather here has been GORGEOUS. Not typical for this time of year. We spent all weekend outdoors, and really enjoyed our time at the gay pride parade yesterday. Which, by the way, is the greatest parade of all time.

[lestermaddox]

Today it hit 100. Not too bad if you are hanging out at the pool or something - but I have yard work that needs to be caught up on since I was gone for two weeks. No way I am weeding in 100 degree heat!

[lennonwhore]

It was rainy all weekend...and then today we got into the nineties with plenty o.sunshine...

[giffordsaz]

it was 100 at 7 am . I am asking for a deferment from this hell I have choosen.. i drank a bottle of wine and it is making em happy but tomorrow... it will be 10o at 7 am.
fuck arizona in the summer

[lestermaddox]

It rained last night, so today was hot, muggy and humid. Tell me again why I live in the MidWest?

[giffordsaz]

Because it is hotter than hell in the west.

We who boast about the dry heat have entered the MONSOON season and are pretty much miserable.

[brunettechic]

Awful! There are thunder storms and tornado watches all over the state! WHAT IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?

[Cherie]

Awww be careful out there BC! If it gets too bad put one of your school books over your head!

[lestermaddox]

ARGH!! THE WIND IS BLOWING, THE WIND IS BLOWING!!!

I was woken up this morning because my bed was shaking - wind gust of 64 mph out of the northwest were buffeting my house and literally shook me out of bed!

I hate the wind.

[lennonwhore]

Not to rub it in or anything, ladies, but it is in mid 70s with a slight breeze and lots of sunshine! Then we get COLD starting next week.

[brunettechic]

I made it through everyone! And today is GORGEOUS! Pretty much exactly what Len described at her house! Oklahoma is so weird!

[CuJo31]

I think it's about 55 here with a slight breeze going on. Haven't been outside in a few hours though so I have no idea...

[MelBell]

It's a beautiful 61° on this Monday morning. I'm just happy to have my electric bill cut in half finally!

[lestermaddox]

SNOW. SNOW. SNOW AND MORE SNOW.

I had to scrape 2 inches off the car when I got out of work, then I stopped at the grocery store and had to scrape windows again when I got out. Then I had to scrape them again when I went to pick up my son. Plus, I had to shovel the walk!

[Cherie]

I had the AC on this afternoon and now I have the heat on. Our weather is schizo.

[lennonwhore]

Rain, Rain, Rain and more rain. Temps in the 40.s.

A stupid, stupid day

[Pekmboyd]

It's rain rain rain here too, but I live in Seattle so I'm pretty sure I don't get to complain :)

[LonnaSaur]

It absolutely poured here yesterday and was so ugly, damp and depressing all day. DaddySaurus couldn't take BabySaurus for her walk and she was beside herself. We all went to Petco to look at the fish instead, which she loves, but she was too cooped up and we paid for it last night-a very fussy, unhappy baby. It's still ugly today but not raining and the two of them are out walking at this very moment. Yay, happy baby!

[jbron8]

lately the weather here in so cal has been alright. but a couple days ago it was freezing cold from the rain and windy weather. today it was all sunny again.

[lestermaddox]

COLD.

[CuJo31]

Pretty clear today, but it's cold, it was probably high 30s this morning, and that ended up feeling warm because of the way it's been for the last few days. Seeing frost outside is never a good feeling when you wake up

[chooch850]

Just thought I'd share our beautiful western New York weather with all of you!

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/chooch850/chooch850pt2/untitled-1.jpg

Oh look! It's gonna warm up today. YAY! How's everyone else doing?

[chooch850]

Here's my Chooch Witness News Weather Update:

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/chooch850/chooch850pt2/untitled2.jpg

I thought it was suppose to get warmer!

[angiemarie]

When I got into my car this morning it was -2 degrees!

[TV Cart]

It's 16 here, outside of Philly and my darn dog doesn't care about the temperature. I'm dreading his afternoon walk! And if I don't walk him, he'll bug me all afternoon. Can't wait til it hits the 30s.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

30 degrees here last night - which might not seem cold - but remember it's ORLANDO! brrrrrr....rrrrr...rrrr

[lestermaddox]

It is warming up here -earlier this week we had snow and 0 temps. Today it is about 35, the sun is out and the snow is melting away.

[giffordsaz]

The weather here is just totally nuts. I cannot even explain!
Watch the Cardinals / Eagles game tomorrow and you will understand my pain.

[lennonwhore]

We actually got snow last night! The kind that sticks and makes the world all slickery and white...not just the flurries that make the roads icy. And the weather has finally warmed to the point where you can step outside and not think you.re dying. We had a low of 18 last night...finally above zero!

[lestermaddox]

19 degrees and windy, but the sun is shining (kind of!) We had snow yesterday, so I am home instead of making a treck to the big city to purchase a toilet and some other goodies for my bathroom redo.

[CuJo31]

Been snowing most of the day here, it was about 29 for most of the day as well, meaning I haven't left this building.

[brunettechic]

It has not gotten over 19 today. Snow is falling harder than it has the past couple of days... BUT school is canceled tomorrow! Again... I'm getting a little bored...

[shantigal]

It's 18 degrees, been snowing/sleeting for the last 24 hours. Reports are that it should end close to midnight. Ugh. Not looking forward to digging the car out in the morning. I hope any of you that got the pure ice all day are OK and have power. On a more positive note, everything looks beautiful and I love the still, eerie atmosphere in what is normally a busy, sometimes loud, urban neighborhood.

[chooch850]

I agree about the quiet serenity after a snow storm. It is refreshingly beautiful (from inside).

[TV Cart]

We finally got more snow! I love snow and the way it looks. But unfortunately, it's covered in a layer of ice.

I thought my dog would sink into it but instead, it's like a delayed reaction, he steps on it, then his feet break through the crust, poor guy. can't help but laugh, though.

Supposed to go up to the 40s today, so i guess it'll all melt and then re-freeze overnight.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

59 this morning, 80's this afternoon. After last week's cold snap it's nice to get back to nearly normal. However, I need it to be cold this weekend so we can go see the manatees at Blue Springs.

[minda07]

Tink, I think the weather man said it would cool down a little this weekend. Won't be cold like the last couple of weeks but may get close to high 60's.

[lestermaddox]

Windy, windy and more windy. I hate wind.

We also have snow on the ground and temps in the single digits, but at least the sun is out today.

Now if the wind would just quit blowing.

[LonnaSaur]

All the sidwalks are icy, which I hate so much. I am always so scared of falling. BabySaurus is getting cabin fever. We need to hit the "soft play area" at the mall tomorrow or she will revolt! And it's been forever since her daddy could take her for a walk--much too cold for little cheeks and noses.

[giffordsaz]

Ummmm it is pretty cold here... (smile)

[angiemarie]

We had the weirdest weather day yesterday. There was snow at night, freezing rain in the morning, rain in the afternoon, and then snow again at night. Everything was a big, slushy mess. Now it's 20 degrees again, and everything is just frozen.

[lennonwhore]

We.re in the same boat, ang. We had snow, ice, freezing rain, sleet, snow, sleet and more snow tonight. 200,000 plus are without power in the Louisville area (us included, but we have a place to stay). I have cabin fever from being trapped in an icy hell!

[Christopher]

It's too cold here!

[brunettechic]

Thunderstorms should be here within a couple of hours... may turn severe. It's crazy early for this kind of stuff!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Be safe little boomer

[brunettechic]

TORNADOES ARE EVERYWHERE. They made us get in the basement at school, but my apartment was in the clear, so when there was a break between storms, I headed home. Don't be mad at me Tink. :)

[MelBell]

We had wind gusts up to 40mph yesterday and it rained all night. It is nice and sunny today; kind of chilly 55...that's chilly for AZ!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Glad you are ok Boomer - were you trying to pull a Dorothy Gale on us?

[lennonwhore]

I was so scared when I heard that the tornado came through OKC. Thank God you.re ok!

And why would you send your storms to us, huh, missy?

[brunettechic]

Sorry, Len! You better be careful tomorrow. They are headed your way!

[MelBell]

TORNADOES ARE EVERYWHERE. They made us get in the basement at school, but my apartment was in the clear, so when there was a break between storms, I headed home. Don't be mad at me Tink. :)

For some reason when I first read this I thought you were joking. But now as I re-read it and look at the news I see you were not! Sorry. Stay safe everyone.

[angiemarie]

Bc, I know you love OKC, but it's getting positively perilous there!

[brunettechic]

For some reason when I first read this I thought you were joking. But now as I re-read it and look at the news I see you were not! Sorry. Stay safe everyone.

This is just the beginning Mel! You'll see these posts from me through the summer. You'll also see posts complaining about the weather coming on and interrupting Survivor.

Bc, I know you love OKC, but it's getting positively perilous there!

I do love it here! I can't help it! Doesn't everywhere have SOMETHING dangerous?

[lestermaddox]

Yeppers it does BC. We get hail. Lots and lots of hail. It is really bad for your roofs and your cars.

Right now the weather is sort of sunny. The sun is trying to come out, but the clouds are hanging tight. It is kind of chilly too- good thing I am inside.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

We could use a little rain - it's so dry here that it's now officially brush fire season. So, let me amend my earlier request - we need RAIN - but not lightning. Lightning would be disastrous.

But other than brush fires, tornadoes and hurricanes - I highly recommend Florida. It's 80 today, blue skies and beautifulness.

[brunettechic]

The wind is seriously awful today. Obviously not as bad as our 100mph and up winds yesterday, but it's making clean up kind of suck. Plus, a friend of mine's car was totaled just from the tennis ball size hail. Thank goodness she wasn't in it, but now she needs rides. Sigh...

AND get this. My Dad is a fire fighter. They were in the middle of fighting a grass fire when the sirens went off. They were like... "what the hell is that?" Then they got radioed to go back to the station, but they couldn't very well leave A FIRE. So they ended up staying until it was out. Too dangerous... I'm ready for him to retire.

Any more weird stories and I'll update you guys. It's never dull around here during tornado season, unfortunately.

[lennonwhore]

I do love it here! I can't help it! Doesn't everywhere have SOMETHING dangerous?

In the past six months, we have had the following: hurricane force winds which knocked the power out for over a week, an ice storm which knocked the power out for over a week, and now TORNADOES.

I do love Louisville!

[animalcrackers]

no crazy storms here yet - they're supposed to be coming this way tonight. but the weather is gorgeous! its 68 degrees and sunny! but after the rain the temp is supposed to drop back down again. oh well, almost 70 in the middle of february! i'll take it!

i hope everyone else is safe though! no more tornadoes mother nature! you're on notice!

[brunettechic]

Small storms moving in... I'll let you know if they get severe. It doesn't look like they will... but you never know.

If Gary England prevents me from seeing TBBT and HIMYM, I'm going to kick some ass.

[MelBell]

I had to put in my 2 cents about the weird weather. Last Wed or Thur we were in the 90s and then Sat we dropped to the 60s and today we were in the mid 80s and tomorrow it's back down into the 60s again! Ugh. And the wind doesn't stop! I wish it would rain the air here is brown from, well pollution, but the wind is kicking up a lot dust as well. It's crazy out there.

[animalcrackers]

i hear ya mel - its supposed to be 45ish here today and 70 something on friday! talk about an improvement!

[lennonwhore]

We keep getting INSANE thunderstorms and tornado warnings/watches pretty much every other day. I.m really starting to get annoyed, because I keep losing the internet!

[brunettechic]

We must have passed them to you, because it hasn't been that bad hear for tornados yet.

[lestermaddox]

We had rain and cold all weekend, yesterday was gorgeous - in the high 60's and today we have wind and 40's, and they are calling for snow tomorrow. What the heck is going on here?

[lennonwhore]

Guess what guys? More tornadees! All I can say is, go on the offensive against Mother Nature! I.m driving EVERYWHERE! No more recycling or walking anywhere. That bitch pays me back for a lifetime of kindness by trying to destroy my city no less that 4 times in the past six months. Me and Mother Nature have a showdown!

[chooch850]

From 32 & slushy rain to 78 & climbing with thunderstorms on the horizon.... WTF?

[Clair]

Ooooh, I love thunderstorms.

[TV Cart]

my jack russell doesn't like thunderstorms!

it's a balmy 86 or so here. it's supposed to stay in the 80s for the next few days. it's not summer yet! at least the house is still cool, no A/C needed yet.

[lennonwhore]

The AC had to be turned on today...because it was 92 degrees in my house.

Beautiful weather for digging, though! I.m going to be out of town for the next 3 days, playing in the dirt!

[brunettechic]

Serious storms today! It's been a while...

[mces0421]

The weather in my place is fine. It's not that hot. You can play outside and enjoy the cold weather. But I hate the winter lol :D

[lestermaddox]

It was so hot in my house on Friday - inside temp was in the 80's, outside temp was the same, so I turned on the cooler. It was off the rest of the weekend because the weather was in the upper 60's. I get up this morning to snow.

SNOW.

Two frickin days ago it was 80 degrees, today it is snowing. What the hell is going on!

[angiemarie]

Two frickin days ago it was 80 degrees, today it is snowing. What the hell is going on!

We call that springtime in Pittsburgh!

It's 81 degrees right now and so, so sunny! Tomorrow we're supposed to get thunderstorms. I hope we do, I love thunder and lightning.

[CuJo31]

Thunderstorms are looming around here as well. Good thing my walk home from work is short

[lennonwhore]

It looks like its going to be a rainy Derby!

[PunkyPoo]

We've had nothing but rain for a week. Sheesh it needs to stop. :)

[chooch850]

The rain has finally stopped here & we've had three beautiful days of 70 degree weather with sunshine & a breeze. The only problem is that the grass acts like it's on steroids!

[Cherie]

Its been in the 90's here with occasional thunderstorms. At least I was finally able to get my garden planted. Hell we should have some great Tomatoes by Halloween!:rolleyes:

[Clair]

One of my tomato plants from last year produced tomatoes all winter so we didn't uproot it and now it's got at least 20 huge green tomatoes. Yum!

[lestermaddox]

Overcast and humid here. We hit a high of 65 this week. Geez - it should be hovering near 100 by now. I miss sunshine. Plus the humidity makes my hair frizz like crazy.

I miss the sun.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Been hot as hell here. Yesterday was in the 90's then we had a crazy nightmare of a storm roll through. I swear I thought my neighbors house was blown to bits we had one thunder crack so loud. But that storm didn't cool things off at all - today it's 91 and so humid you could jump off a building and just sit in the air.

[shantigal]

That describes our weather today exactly, but in the midwest. Tomorrow they're predicting 96. Fingers crossed my old AC unit makes it through this summer. Two years ago a repairman told me it was on it's last leg.

[MelBell]

Oh my heck it is 1000pm and still 106 outside! :mad: I know it AZ and you probably think I should be used to it, but it's still HOT! I think my a/c has been on all day. Going to bed, my room is the coolest.

[Clair]

It's been in the high 90s for forever. We have someone coming out today to give us an estimate for a new A/C. I hope I won't suffer from sticker shock, but I know I will. :(

[shantigal]

I wish I could lend you mine Clair. I haven't had it on for 5 days now and probably won't turn it on through the weekend. This has never. ever. happened in July. Never. Our weather has been so beautiful lately. I even had to put a sweater on this morning.

[angiemarie]

We've been having the mildest summer I can ever remember her in Pgh. I wonder if that means we're going to have another nasty winter?

[ScotyUtah]

Approaching 100 in Utar. I just rode back home from Portland in searing heat and crazy cross winds. Add in some SUV war wagons trying to break the land speed record and it was a tense trip.

[lestermaddox]

It finally hit the 90's today. It can stop that right now as far as I am concerned. I have been enjoying the cooler, wetter weather - though not all the extra weeds that are sprouting in my flower beds!

[chooch850]

Here in western NY, we are having a mild summer too. Cooler temps & no humidity. It's a dream come true! A little too much rain tho. You can hear the grass growing sometimes from it all.

[TV Cart]

Still hot and humid here in Philly suburbs. We've had some nasty storms recently. The major highway into Philly was closed yesterday due to flooding. Once they got rid of the water, they had to get rid of all the mud.

We had it pretty good for a while, like you're having Chooch.

[shantigal]

Woot! We finally got rain. Thanks BrunetteChic for sending it this way. At least I have a valid excuse for spending the day infront of the tv instead of mowing the lawn.

[brunettechic]

You are welcome, friend!

[angiemarie]

Wow, that is an amazing talent you have, bc.

You should go into business for yourself, you can go around the country summoning rain.

[brunettechic]

I have some Native Amercian blood in me... I'm just saying. ;)

[lennonwhore]

We finally got some rain here, too! For the first time I can remember, it hasn't been horrific in August. The humidity has stayed low, as have the temps!

[lestermaddox]

Cold and rainy and overcast. And rainy.

Which I wouldn't mind so much except my dryer broke and I need the sun to come out so I can hang some laundry out to dry. Plus it is cold - did I mention that?

[TV Cart]

We're having great weather. It did get a little cold last week, but now we are having mostly sunny days in the 70s. Cool enough at night to bundle up a bit, but can still sleep with the windows open.

[chooch850]

Good lord... the floods in Georgia are horrible. I watched CNN today & this father couldn't hang on to his 2yr old son & he was swept away. Awful, just awful!! Be safe Cherie!

[lestermaddox]

My heart goes out to those in GA suffering the floods - it is awful. I was thinking the 3 days of rain we have had here was terrible, but it is nothing compared to what is going on there.

[chooch850]

Omg... it has rained every day for a week or more. We had a little sun this morning & it was nice, but this dreary dark damp awful mucky mess is getting to be too much. I wish it would snow. I really do.

[lestermaddox]

Cold and wet. Friday night at the football game was freezing! Saturday was pretty nice though, in the 50's with no wind - but since Sunday it has been rainy and dreary and cold.

[brunettechic]

Same here. cold and scattered showers. I hate it. I usually really enjoy fall weather, but it's my first time being a professional person and i hate the clothes. They aren't comfy.

[TV Cart]

Sorry everyone, but we've been having beautiful fall weather here. Mostly sunny, low 70s during the day and 50s at night.

But never know what to wear!

[lestermaddox]

Still cold, still wet and now they are calling for snow!

[brunettechic]

If it hails today on my car, I'm going to freak out. I've already called paintless dent repair to let them know if it hails, that I'm first in line.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Hot here - been in the mid to upper 90's. No rain - just hot. Every day they say "Let's see when rain will come back to the forecast" I imagine when it comes it'll come like crazy cuz that's how the weather rolls down here. It likes to go big.

[MelBell]

It is beautiful here, too! We are in the low to mid 80s during the day and high 60s at night. I love it!

[Squirt]

Today was beautiful and sunny--not that I was able to enjoy it. It's cool enough at night that I fired up the wood stove. I am not looking forward to winter.

Rain is coming. Hopefully it will be nice enough for apple picking this weekend.

[ScotyUtah]

Snow capped mountains out here. Weather is mild for now but the snow storms can bring it any time they want now. Please!!

[TV Cart]

Another beautiful day here in southeast PA. High 60s partly sunny, nice breeze. Even though it's more cloudy than sunny, the temperature is perfect. Might get a little bit of rain tonight and tomorrow.

[chooch850]

Guess what..... it's raining.

[lestermaddox]

I just got home from a football game - 15 degrees, windy as hell and snowing. I literally can not feel my toes - I think I froze them (and some other important parts!) off. At least we won - 61 -20.

[Squirt]

We had a beautiful day for apple picking. Now I just have to do something with them.... The first frost warning was posted for tonight (sorry LM).

[shantigal]

After 2 days of non-stop rain, it's finally sunny, but cold. I finally broke down and turned the heat on. It's been a while since we've had to turn it on this early in the season. Guess I can't complain since we had such a beautiful summer and the a/c was off more than on.

[MelBell]

It is beautiful here, too! We are in the low to mid 80s during the day and high 60s at night. I love it!

Did I sound like I was bragging in this post? I must have made the weather gods mad. I didn't mean to I was just so happy to have cooler weather. Needless to say it is a very warm October day, you know just 102. But it is nice & sunny!

[SameShot]

Raining and disgusting out

[shantigal]

Horrifying. Rain, rain, rain, sort of like Survivor this season. We will have a break tomorrow, with a massive storm moving in the following day.

[Squirt]

rain and more rain. ugh.

[PottyMouth]

I hate the rain. Blech

[MelBell]

It is really windy today and it's supposed to be 63! Ahhh! It was 85 yesterday. At least we don't have rain...sorry guys, hope it clears up soon for you!

[shantigal]

Guess what the forecast is? Rain.

[ScotyUtah]

Snow! And a decent amount to boot (especially up in them thar hills)!

[CuJo31]

Getting really cold really fast, it's about 40 out today...although it's supposed to be 70 on Monday. Haven't really figured out what season it is on the east coast right now.

[TV Cart]

Rain finally gone. Gorgeous day here in SE PA, high 60s and sunny.

[lestermaddox]

Friday it was in the 50's, Saturday in the 40's and Sunday in the 30's with snow - today the snow is gone and we are up to 60.

Honestly, a little bit of consistency would be nice.

[shantigal]

Rain finally gone. Gorgeous day here in SE PA, high 60s and sunny.

Five days of rain forecasted. It started yesterday. Just wait TVC, it's on the way to PA.

[TV Cart]

Thanks Shanti! lol

Yes, it's on it's way on Thursday. But for now, we have another gorgeous day, a little cooler. I am tired of never knowing what to wear, but can't complain with current weather we are having.

[MelBell]

It was a beautiful, sunny 72 degrees today!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Been getting down in the 50's overnight which is good since my blasted A/C broke again. Supposed to get up to mid-80's tonight.

Skywise it's been beautiful, clear and blue - yesterday's shuttle launch had to be the prettiest daytime one I've seen yet.

[kdognatl]

It's a gloomy, rainy 61 degrees here in Atlanta.

[angiemarie]

Been getting down in the 50's overnight which is good since my blasted A/C broke again. Supposed to get up to mid-80's tonight.

I don't think there is anything wrong with your A/C, I think your repairman has a crush on you! He's been out so many times this year.

It's 55 and breezy here in the 'burgh, it's pretty nice for November.

[chooch850]

cold, dank & dark....

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I don't think there is anything wrong with your A/C, I think your repairman has a crush on you! He's been out so many times this year.

Well if that's the case - it's certainly not reciprocated he reminds me a lot of Norton from the Honeymooners - minus the charm.

[JulieM]

Chooch, we had most of that today. Temps are really supposed to fall starting tomorrow, 12/9. High of 30 and then down to 12 tomorrow night.

Get your Snuggies ready.

[lestermaddox]

Unbelievably cold! We hit -13 last night with a high of 6 so far today. We have about 8 inches of snow on the ground and more is expected.

I actually had to wear a coat today - and gloves!!!

Lester, I'm glad I am not where you are!! BRRRRRR!!!!

In SoCal, it is about 40'F and COLD! I escaped Tennessee to avoid this kind of weather. We are about 20' colder than we should be right now. :thumbdown:

[Squirt]

It was a sloppy, slick day on the east coast. Accidents and traffic jams on a Sunday. I hate winter.

[TV Cart]

I love snow, but 12-18" is a little much. I'm just west of Philly. Some forecasts are saying 25" in some areas. That's a lot for us. Looks like there's only about 2" so far.

[angiemarie]

It is snowing, snowing, snowing here in Pittsburgh. It's so pretty. I've been reading, drinking hot cocoa, and appreciating the fact I don't have to go anywhere today. My dogs have been getting reacquainted with snow, my poor chihuahua is about as tall as the snow at this point. I'll have to get a picture next time we go out.

[Squirt]

The snow is just now starting to accumulate. We're stocked up on food, beer, books, and movies. I wouldn't mind being snowed in for a day or two.

[Pekmboyd]

I'm sure it's just the Alaskan in me, but 2 feet of snow really doesn't sound like a big deal...you'd think the northeastern cities/states would be kind of, ya know, used to the white stuff - it does fall every year people! But of course it's hitting the highly populated east coast so the rest of the country must read about the flight delays and power outages every time it happens. When I was in high school we had a blizzard that came with a wind gust of 103 mph and knocked over a shipping container - bet you don't remember reading about that, because not enough people lived there for anybody to care :)

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I guess you guys would laugh at me for shivering in our cold snap. It was 48 yesterday morning - brrr. And righ tnow it's 53 and windy. My Tinkerbell Christmas light thingy keeps blowing over.

[MelBell]

It was chilly today and we got some rain. However, along the I-10 between Tucson and Phoenix there was a sudden dust storm that came with the rain and it caused a major accident. 3 people were killed. A semi burned all that was left was the frame, cars were flipped and on top of each other. Very sad.

[lestermaddox]

Mel that is awful. I hate driving in dust storms.

Yesterday was foggy as all get out, but not too bad otherwise. This morning it is ice, ice, ice. I went out to the garage to feed the dog and about took a header off the back porch steps - thank goodness there is a porch post that my shoulder smacked into otherwise it would not have been pretty. Once in the garage, I filled the dogs bowl, grabbed the bag of ice melt and stepped out of the garage, only to have the handle on the bag break, which fell and hit the bowl of dog food which went flying into the air and clocked me in the forehead and dumped ice melt and dog food down my shirt.

Now it is snowing. It is going to be a long day.

[JulieM]

Yesterday it was 75 and the boys turned on the air conditioning yesterday. Today it is 36 and snowing and they expect 1 - 3 inches.

[Squirt]

Waiting for the freezing rain...at least we shouldn't have to go anywhere for a couple of days.

[JulieM]

We ended up with 4 - 5 inches.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

As my family is on a cruise ship headed towards the Bahamas and 83 degree weather, I sit here all alone in Orlando as the thermometer plunges to 40 tonight with wind chills in the 30's expected tomorrow.

Pity, Party of 1

[angiemarie]

I would feel sorry for you but it's 12 degrees with the wind chill factored in and snowing again. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

[TV Cart]

The foot of snow is gone, a day of rain took care of that, but now it's windy and friggin freezing. Tomorrow is going to be in the 20s. Not happy about that especially since my dog is spoiled and needs his walks.

[JulieM]

Snowing again. Not common for Fort Worth. Three times in December.

[blazergirl]

It started snowing here in Portland completely unexpectedly at about 2:00 this afternoon. It was coming down lightly and then all of a sudden started really coming down just in time for the commute home. What is normally a 25 minute drive for me took me 4 hours to get home today! And in true Oregon fashion, it will probably all be melted by morning.

[lestermaddox]

It is a balmy 28 here today. We are having a heatwave!!

[TV Cart]

19 this morning, but at least it's not as windy as yesterday. Tomorrow and Friday warmer with rain and snow.

[TV Cart]

Didn't get the snow, a little bit of rain. Today with wind chill it's in the teens, colder tomorrow. Maybe some flurries. Darn dog will still want his walks.

[chooch850]

Perfect weather here... a balmy 10 outside with a wind chill of -15... yay!!!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

42 here - too damned cold for my liking. Went walking today and felt like my eyeballs were gonna crack from the wind.

[shantigal]

It's 9, wind chill of -6, much warmer than Chooch's neck of the woods.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

It's freezing this morning - literally (not Rachel Zoe literally - but real literally). It's hard to keep coming up with outfits for this kind of weather when I have a Florida wardrobe. <<<<Shiver>>>>>

[Pekmboyd]

It's freezing this morning - literally (not Rachel Zoe literally - but real literally). It's hard to keep coming up with outfits for this kind of weather when I have a Florida wardrobe. <<<<Shiver>>>>>

No kidding! It's 36 degrees outside - and my wardrobe is capris and t-shirts...I had to explain to Evan why he can't go outside and play in shorts, but he sees sun and doesn't understand (sun = warm in 3 year old speak).

[TinkerbellAPixie]

It looks like it SHOULD be warm - it's a beautiful day if you look past the brrr. It's freezing in my office too - darn it. My fingers hurt.

<<whine, whine, whine, bitch, mope, grumble>>>

[shantigal]

The thermometer says 21, wind chill 10. Just got back from the dog park and my ass says "what are you, crazy?'.

[Pekmboyd]

Ok this ended up longer than it started, but I swear it's hypothetically related to the weather.

It's 35 degrees out, and I know a lot of places are colder but I'm in Southern Georgia. So I get it in my head that ice cream sounds good and I'll treat my son on our way to grocery shop (did you know that Alaskans eat more ice cream per person than any other state? I think my brain is hard-wired to want ice cream when it's cold). So we drive through McDonald's, "order when you're ready" "I'd like two ice cream cones please" "we don't have any ice cream right now". What??

First of all, how about "I'm sorry, but we don't have any ice cream right now"?? Secondly, do they not have any because so many other people had the same idea and McDonald's wasn't ready for it? Is this a common phenomenon? Or how about "I'm sorry, our ice cream machine is broken, would you like a milkshake instead?"

So, we went to Sonic, where the nicest fast food employee in the world works. As in "Hi, welcome to Sonic, this is Robert speaking, how may I help you?" so I order a Butterfinger blast, and he says "Would you like any cheese sticks or jalapeno poppers with that?" and when I laugh a little and say no (as in, Butterfinger ice cream and jalapeno poppers, what am I pregnant?) he laughs too and says "yeah, that probably wouldn't go together too well. Please pull around and we'll have that blast ready for you." I pull up and pay and he asks if I'd like to donate $1 to Jerry's kids, and he's just so nice I say yes, and somewhere in there he notices I'm planning to split the treat with my son in the backseat, and offers an empty cup and second spoon so I can just give my son a bit in a cup instead of passing it back and forth. And when he gives me my change, he looks me in the EYE, and says "thank you for choosing Sonic, have a great day."

I'm not kidding you, Robert at Sonic made my freaking day. I would adopt him.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

You should type that note up and send it to his boss. Seriously. People like that deserve to know how great they are and pooh on the kid at McDonald's with the lousy sense of customer service.

So - I'm here in Orlando freezing my tata's off (and hoping that adds up to lost weight when I go to Weight Watchers on Saturday) and my stupid building has the a/c running. I am typing this with the icicle hanging off my nose since my fingers snapped off 2 hours ago when I was typing a letter.

On the 17th floor where my friends work (I sit alone on the 16th floor where it has to be 20 degrees cooler) they all have space heaters running. Actually - so many of them were running space heaters that they blew a circuit so all the computers were running off battery power and they were all beeping. So they had to call maintenance and Building Management to come up. Building Management got all pissy that they are running space heaters when that is strictly against the policy on our lease.

Meanwhile down on 16 - the a/c is still blowing my bangs around my forehead. I just loving having the windblown look at work.

Eek - my rant just totally negated the happy joy vibe of Pek's post. Can Robert at Sonic come work for our building?

[Clair]

I agree.

Stay warm, Tink!!

[chooch850]

I love people like Robert. They make you smile for the rest of the day. Thanks for the story Pek. Proves that there are good people out there who enjoy what they do or at least give the illusion that they do.

I have not left my house at all this year & have no plans to do so anytime soon...... I am truly hibernating. Sorry for those who have to brave this weather to work & Tink, you type very well with your icicle nose!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Here is the forecast for Saturday.

Saturday
Cloudy. A chance of morning showers...possibly mixing with light snow or sleet. Highs near 45. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 30 percent.


This is the forecast for Orlando - FLORIDA! Is hell freezing over? I'm getting worried. :eek:

[pixielated]

Here in Tucson, the highs have been in the 70s and the lows in the 40s, but tonight it's going down to 35 and tomorrow it's only getting to 67. Waaaah.

Don't hate me. Remember me when we've had our 20th day over 100 this summer. (But it's a dry heat.)

Tink! Save the oranges, I need my juice.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Not sure I can do that shanti. The citrus crops have been hit pretty hard with all this weather. As have all the other Florida Ag crops. We have a lot of Ag clients and if they are hurting - we are hurting :(

[kdognatl]

Hey Tink my boss said something about iguanas freezing and falling out of trees down there, lol.

Pekmboyd great story, that always makes my day too. Fast food customer service has gone to S&%t. Working the Wendy's drive thru was my first job and I remember taking pride having the best attitude and doing my best.

Well here in Atlanta it is 18 degrees. Snow is sticking, about a quarter inch. The ice is horrible. I live at the top of a very STEEP hill and have to take another steep hill to get out of my neighborhood. I tried to go to work about 8 and ending up sliding down the hill on my way down, then backwards when I tried to go back up. I can literally hear someone right now trying to get up the hill.

Anyway, I had to park and walk home. It was only about half a mile but i had to walk both steep hills. I am such a baby, I was walking up the hill talking on my phone and crying uncontrollably. :blushing:

My wonderful boyfriend was up and dressed when I got to the house and left to go get my car for me, even though I said to wait, but he didn't want anyone to hit it. Well he slipped and fell on the ice and cut his hand and arm. :(

About noon we went to go get it and passed 6 of my neighbors walking. When we got to my car there were 9 other cars parked around it that could not make it up the hill. Crazy! Anyway, it took 3 attempts and me freakin out but my boyfriend got my car safely snuggled in the garage :thumbup:

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Aw Kdog sounds like you have a wonderful boyfriend. Does he have a brother? I am sorry your day was so rough - is his arm ok? Will he need stitches?

[kdognatl]

Aw Kdog sounds like you have a wonderful boyfriend. Does he have a brother? I am sorry your day was so rough - is his arm ok? Will he need stitches?

Thanks Tink! He's pretty awesome! Yes, unfortunately his brother is married ;) His arm is okay, mostly scraped, but his hand had two large scratches that look really gross. He said he will be fine. Shoot he just played guitar on Rock Band with me for the last 3 hours, so I think he is ok ;)

[PunkyPoo]

Still buried under snow in Kansas, but it appears we'll be above freezing this week!

[lestermaddox]

Sun! We have sun!! And temps above 20!!!:thumbup1:

[TV Cart]

Still friggin too cold. No sun here. Tomorrow and Friday are supposed to be warmer. Here's hoping.

[angiemarie]

We're supposed to go up to 41 degrees tomorrow. I'm hoping some of my snow piles will melt a bit. I'm running out of room to put the shoveled snow.

[MelBell]

Out of nowhere we got a nice little thunderstorm. Ok, really it was more like a drizzle with some thunder & lightening. But it brought with it that wonderful smell when it first starts to rain and the cement is wet. Now I get to cozzy up in bed and fall asleep to the sound of thunder. (I live in AZ we get a little excited by rain what can I say)

[shantigal]

We had a high of 50 today. Guess I'm one of the oddballs that likes winter. I really do prefer snow to the mud and slush that we'll now be trudging through.

[angiemarie]

It's 41 degrees! This is very exciting because some of the snow and ice should start to thaw, hurrah!

[angiemarie]

We got a whole bunch of snow this evening (a lot for Pittsburgh, anyway), and it's still coming down. I'm so happy I don't have to go to anywhere. It's really pretty. It's so heavy that it is making the trees in the yard droop.

[TV Cart]

We're getting a huge storm, up the East Coast. A couple of inches out there now. I'm right at the line where I could get up to 18 or 24 inches through tomorrow. I love snow, too, but not necessarily that much, especially since we had a foot earlier this winter. Luckily I don't have too much to shovel and I have an SUV. The dog doesn't like it too much when the snow is higher than he is.

[Mila Superstar]

i don't have anything againgst mud but i feel uneasy because of the slippery icy roads. they are a pain in the back :>

[chooch850]

The Great Lakes region is all good. We are cold but clear!

[angiemarie]

Wow, you guys lucked out, chooch. I think we got 24 inches in less than 24 hours. It's really pretty, but I'm tired of shoveling for today. I'll dig out the car tomorrow.

[TV Cart]

Cold! And on top of the 18 inches of snow we got Saturday, tonight through tomorrow we could get another 18-24 inches!

[AnneM]

it's snowing here in Wisconsin. We've had snow since I got up (5;30AM). A lot of schools are closed around here. Good day to stay inside and take a long nap with our dogs.

TVannie

[shantigal]

Cold & windy. We had a little snow last night and there's a wind chill of 3degrees. It's nothing like the east coasters have to deal with though. Take care you guys.

[angiemarie]

More snow expected today and tomorrow. I'm running out of places to shovel it!

[here4beer]

Ugh. I'm with you, angie... I'm sick of shoveling. So far today we've gotten over a foot of snow and it's still coming down like gangbusters. :(

[Squirt]

All day the predictions for my area were ~5-13 inches...now on the 11pm news, my area is in the smaller patch in the midst of it, predicted to 16+:confused: I'll let y'all know tomorrow evening..

[TV Cart]

About 7 inches when I woke up. Nice hard crust on top, had to shovel a path for the dog. I think it stopped for a bit, then sleeted a bit. Then started snowing again, heavy a few minutes ago. Gotta get out and do more shoveling before it gets too deep. Expecting about 10 more inches, ugh. All my poor bushes, never cleaned them off after the first storm.

[SmmrJwl]

About 7 inches when I woke up. Nice hard crust on top,...



I read this first part totally out of context..:blush:
It's bitterly cold here, nothing new, it just gets old.

[kittkatt]

Not too bad here(north Texas). Chilly for this time of year though, and they're saying we have 100% chance of snow tonight.(yay! being a northern girl originally i do like the now once in a while) But,WTF?!?!?! It's already snowed 3 times in the past 2 months.I know that's nothing compared to what ya'll are getting, but come on, this is TEXAS Mother Nature, get with the program! lol!

[kittkatt]

About 7 inches when I woke up. Nice hard crust on top

I read this first part totally out of context..:blush:

:oops: Me too, SmmrJwl, me too! LOL! :lol:

[Pegster]

Finally getting some real Nashville weather today - it's currently sunny & 60 degrees. Alas, it shall not last long, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can; and by "enjoy it", of course I mean I'm going to the movies.

[kdognatl]

It has been snowing non stop for the last 4 hours here in Atlanta. It looks beautiful. And that is saying alot for me. I hate the winter, snow and ice. My job is holding us hostage. Oh no wait, they did just say I could go home at 3 when I get off at 4. How kind.

[lestermaddox]

We have sunshine today! :clap:


It started raining on Sunday and rained non-stop until sometime early Thursday am, when it turned to snow. This morning the sun is finally shining, the snow is melted and things are drying up.

[TV Cart]

Now we're getting the rain here! Thunderstorms maybe and flooding. Everything was just drying out, too, after the snow finally melted. At least it's not too cold. Rain all weekend, I think.
