The Weather Thread

We had enough snow here overnight for it to be borderline whether i could drive to work this morning. Went out at lunch and not only is there absolutely no sign of snow anywhere, but the roads are also bone-dry too!

Warm and rain/snow in some areas has closed the schools here

Currently 35°F

 

[TB]

This isn't looking very promising for the trip.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Cold again, back down to 6°F

 

[TB]

A lovely, albeit slightly humid, 79F.

Feels good to defrost a bit.

Getting some snow tonight in the Northeast. Hopefully for me it isn't enough to have to shovel and deal with. It's only a few inches and should be warm and sunny tomorrow.

‘Winter’ didn’t last very long.

Snowing today

@TB

When I said bring me back something from Hawaii I did not mean a snow storm!

The drive back is turning out to be less than amusing. About 20 miles to go.

Edit: Snow covered Interstate picture doesn't want to upload. That's how bad it is.

On the plus side, I don't have a bunch of clothes to wash. Yet.

Currently mostly clear and 10F, and a winter weather advisory for this evening

The Beast From The East has arrived

The Beast From The East has arrived

From what i've experienced so far, the name 'Beast' is been used ironically.

Out of curiosity, what qualifies as "very cold" over there?

Out of curiosity, what qualifies as "very cold" over there?

Going by the colours on the diagram above, i'd say 'similar temperatures as currently experienced in Greenland, Northern Russia and the artic'

Pretty much any time it snows the UK grinds to a halt but when its -5C (23F) and below generally that's considered very cold... or as the Nordic countries call it, a balmy winters day!

We got a bunch of snow last night, below is the amount from the Sears parking lot on the bottom left

Currently it’s a crisp 8F

 

[Adamgp]

It's going to hit 60°F here today, before going back down to 30's-40's.

Pretty much any time in snows the UK grinds to a halt but when its -5C (23F) and below generally that's considered very cold...

So the -40F (-40C) windchills we had this winter would have literally killed you.

23F at the end of winter and I'm in shorts.

Edit: Last week the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on Hawaii had 50-60mph (gusting to 75) winds and 6-12 inches of snow. I was tempted to go up there anyway but decided to stay on the nice 82F beach instead.

 

[Dennisch]

It's now -7 ish here, and tomorrow evening and night it may dip to -10. During the day it stays just below 0, and they're calling it Siberian weather. Because of the windchill.

Sissies.

Finally, for the first time in 4 years, winter is here:

 

[Robin]

Reading -7.8C outside right now on the temp gauge. Coldest it's been since that big freeze in 2010/11.

I hate floods so much.

 

[Barra333]

In the last week, the town I grew up in, and the town I live in (15,500km apart) both had once-in-decades floods.

Also, 14C here today, 15cm of snow tomorrow night. Bat**** crazy weather.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Cold out there

Clear 4°F with a wind chill of -8°F

 

[TenEightyOne]

I drove through drifting snow tonight that was so cold it froze to the windscreen even with the heater on full blast... bloody horrible driving conditions. I live in Holderness which is basically a huge flat plain right beside the North Sea, the wind conditions right now are pretty bad. Not much new snow coming down but the grit isn't staying on the roads and I think we might be going to lose some tiles from the ridge tonight.

Fortunately Mrs. Ten is in control of the indoor thermostat and it's a toasty 1,000,000C all around the house

 

[kikie]

Today - 4°C. Tomorrow around 7°C. I think I need an aircosystem for tomorrow.

 

[Moglet]

I had to laugh when I saw that in amongst all of the snow we're having in the UK at the minute a Highways Agency car managed to catch fire It's getting pretty deep (for the UK) in some areas, this is in Rochdale:

At the same time this may be the most British thing ever:

There's not a lot of snow left in Cambridge anymore, the roads are getting quite dry now. At least the main roads are. The side roads still have some snow blowing over from the surrounding fields. I learned my lesson yesterday evening and will be sticking to the main roads tonight!

The train companies had a lot of fun last night, here is an example of what happened on one train.
