As if weather patterns have not been out of whack as it is for the last couple years, yesterday afternoon it was 88 degree... which is crazy for Mid November in Austin, Texas or for that matter any time past September... but then thanks to a VERY fast moving Canadian cold front, the temperature dropped in just a few hours by nearly 40 degrees! :nervous:

Also, because of the speed of the front and the temperature difference, it whipped up some really intense gusts as high as 70 mph that tossed most of our lawn furniture 50 yards. :eek:


Anyone else experience some seriously whacky weather over the last couple years?
 
In Belgium, sure. Belgium is situated on the globe where the nothern winds collide with the southern winds.
 
Its like that all the time in Michigan. It can be 88 one day and snowing with 20 degree temperatures the next day. We also get snow in April and May and it seems to snow later and later every year. It also starts snowing later in the year.
 
Yup sounds just like Michigan weather, you get used to after a while.
 
Yea same here, everyone's been sick because of it. Like today, it got up to 60 degrees. It snowed yesterday for Christ's sake.
 
Yesterday it was nearly 60 degrees at 7 am, and today we had our first flurries of the year.
 
Sounds like weather around here...

When I worked in the fields, it would be 40 degrees F when I got up at 5am, and 100 degrees by 3pm.
 
On the 11th and 12th of this month, in less than 24 Hours, I saw:
-Long-lasting heavy (torrential, at many times) rain.
-A windstorm that cut power, toppled trees, and tossed driftwood from the oceanacross a nearby road. Gusts were probably 110KM/H +
-Sunshine and still air around 12-15 Celsius.
-Freezing Temperatures.
-Snow.
-Blizzard conditions.

Talk about a variety!

I’m right down the road from you here in San Antonio right off of 35. Had the same weather. Fun fun especially when you work in a warehouse. I always feel the difference and I'm never prepared for it.

Digital-Nitrate, NocturnalPS, and with me, that's three along the IH 35 Corridor (although I am still 150 miles south of NocturnalPS). I must have slept through the actual front blowing by us, but the temperature drop was a very welcome change.

DN....since I had thought for a while that you were somewhere in Texas, I have always wondered why you write dates in this format (as seen in a recent post in another thread):

07/11/15 North American PSN Store Update

As opposed to the more common (in these parts, anyway) 11/15/07....No big deal....just curious.

I've actually always preferred that format for dates, as it follows the same principal as time... bigger to smallest increments from left to right.

I still use the common Month Day, Year format when writing, but as a label and mark of a date and time, I prefer the more logical YY/MM/DD format.

Also, seeing as I try to do my best to post updates for all the commonly used major regions, it is a nice compromise between the "backward" format day/moth/year commonly used in Europe and among their old territories.

So there you have it... now you know. :)
 
Sometime last year we had around 100 mph winds in Palmdale, CA...

It was funny, because no one really reacted at all to it. It sucked walking near sand, though.

Sounds like PNW November up until the last two lines. It snowed!?! Are you in that much of a different system that it dumps on you guys early and Seattle gets none?
 
I remember one night a few years ago where it was 45 degrees around 10 PM, and 65 at midnight. The Pineapple Express certainly doesn't make any local stops...

It was in a high place, I passed through it while driving.
