The Weather Thread

[Keef]

The end is near. Pray for me.

We have been layered with approximately 6 inches of death. Not dead yet, though. I may have made it through this one alive.

 

[Delirious]

here in fun cincinnati at kroger its christmas time again with very low amounts of bread @ milk left...for 6 inches of snow...blech

 

[Moglet]

I want to touch snow, I never have, I have never been within 2000 kilometres of it.

It's exciting the first time you see it, after that it's just very very tedious.

 

[Jetboy.]

So, here's our progression/damages.

Onslaught of Storm

Same Field, This Morning

Snow-covered Battleship

More Battleship Coverage

Foundation of the old house (About 5ft tall)

The Mrs' Cavalier

Truck at my neighbour's

The Lump, formally called Olds 442

(That black dot in this pic is my mirror.)


We're completely ****ing buried. Anywhere we go we have to walk, and I'm out in the sticks as you can see.

Teehee, now you know what it's like to live up North! (cept we have plows and front end loaders on standby)

I'm in PA, where do you want me at, Maine?

 

[ranhammerR34]

[TB]

Snowed a bit last night, snowing a bit now, and it's supposed to snow a tomorrow for a total of an annoying 2". Enough snow and slow enough to have to go out 8 times to shovel it.

 

[Thiele]

You guys want some heat? Maybe we can arrange a trade.

38C today (102F), stuff football training (running and sprints).

EDIT: Tomorrow 38C, which probably means 39 or 40 here (around 103F). And humid.

 

[Anghammarad]

Forecast for the week says around -5° C until Sunday. If it turns out that way it will mean two straight months of subzero temperatures. Average from Dec 14 until now is -8.3° C.

The Snowpocalypse is coming apparently. 1-3" tomorrow, 4-8" tomorrow night, 1-3" Wednesday. So 6-14" are apparently inbound. Oh and 20-30mph winds too! And temps in the teens with the windchill below zero. I think I might be good on winter after this one.

But who knows, maybe it'll track south and hit Ohio.

 

[nobuffalo]

Snow, and i'll be out all night playing in it.

I'd take 1 inch of that, melt it and that would do us for summer's rainfall. I'll take 6 inches for the oncoming winter.

38C and humid.

Add about 4-6" to those numbers and that's what we may be due for. All of that gets a "meh" from me. We've been dealing with it on and off all season, I think I'll survive.

Lets see if the idiots who manage the road crew plow the right roads first or not.

 

[Joey D]

Well the final estimates are in for the storm, we're looking at 6-10" when it's all said and done. It's already coming down pretty hard too and the roads have a dusting on them. The drive home is going to be the anti-fun.

 

[FoolKiller]

We had about three inches of snow and it took me longer than normal to get into work, but I didn;t have much trouble.

Well, I did have the Blazer that was riding my bumper on the interstate and then an S10 that actually passed me on an untreated 2-lane road because 30mph was apparently too slow.

 

[Philly]

6-10" is probably where we'll be at. This is pretty exciting. Only the second major snowfall here in Holland that I've been around for. Campus snow plows are out in force keeping the sidewalks clear. But even the major road through Holland is pretty covered and moving pretty slow.

 

[lbsf1]

Snow due for the uk on friday as well.

 

[Jetboy.]

10-20" expected on top of the 30" we already just unburied ourselves from..

 

[Rykon Zero]

Sunny. Mildy warm and sunny.

 

[Joey D]

So my drive home took me a whole 7 more minutes and that's because I didn't take the back roads. The roads were fairly bad and at one point I had to pass an Jeep Cherokee that was spinning all four tires trying to get up a hill (I'm guessing bald tires). There is maybe 3" out there and it's been snowing really hard since about 9 am. I'm guessing the final total will be 5" which isn't bad.

 

[Philly]

The snow started coming down pretty hard here. There are a few inches down and an inch or so over all the roads. I just saw a Jeep go sliding halfway across an intersection furiously pumping the brakes... Makes me want a Subaru.

Sunny. Mildy warm and sunny.

Weird... Like t-shirt warm?

 

[Rotary Junkie]

You mean for the silly brake distribution system? I back-to-back drove a 2010 Legacy followed by the old white 6 on its horrid Coopers in snowy conditions down the same road and if anything the 6 did a better job stopping. Yes, the wheel in the 6 turns if you let the ABS do its job without touching it when the Subie doesn't but they both stop straight.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Like go out on a walk, and decide you don't really need the jacket warm.

 

[YSSMAN]

Hmmm, the snow must be coming down harder here in Grand Rapids that in other places. It has been snowing pretty steadily all day, but it definitely picked up around the time most people get out of work. Around 6pm I ventured out of work to find about an inch and a half of snow covering the entire parking lot, as well as my car. I drove to the local Burger King and decided to eat inside. In the 20 or so minutes I was in there eating, my car was completely covered again, requiring an ice scrape too.

By the time I got out of work at 10pm, there was roughly four inches of snow out in the parking lot, and at least two on my car. Brad was not happy. On the way home, the roads were quite slick, enough to have my back end sliding around even on most extremely slow corners. It was 30-35 MPH all the way home, and it took an extra 15 minutes or so to do it.

All in all, not fun, but definitely not the worst snowstorm of the season.

 

[Thiele]

It's 38C outside again, still a bit humid. Back to 31 tomorrow.

May i add room temperature is 33C and the computer is struggling to idle under 55C.

 

[Joey D]

Just snow blowed the driveway, probably 7-8" on it. The main roads aren't even touched in terms of ploughing, drive to work is going to be interesting.

 

[Sniffs]

survived a completely unplowed friggin everywhere in the dark work run. it's coming down too hard for the plows to keep up with it. fortunately, the stuff thismorning was fluffy, thisafternoon, however, when it warms up, it'll be wet...and I'm still on summer tires!

 

[buickgnx88]

Haha not snowing here!

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Bad weather seems to be hitting Europe again, expecting snow to arrive again here in Luxembourg tomorrow. Today record traffic jams in Belgium.

Temperature was up to positive (in celcius), but currently previsions for the next days remain negative again.

Good weather to stay in and be a virtual race driver!
