What's your weather?

We just got dumped on with snow up here in Wisconsin just yesterday. I shoveled twice yesterday. Once in the morning to get up the ice from the ice storm Tuesday and once to get up about 6 inches of snow that had falled throughout the day. The temperatures this morning are currently at 7 F and the Real Feel is at 0 F. We get some extremely cold temperatures and rarely get very warm. Even 95 F in the middle of the summer is rare. I tend to get cold easier than some people but even hubby wears a jacket about 5-6 months out of the year. I myself will wear a jacket about 9 months out of the year. My winter coats consist of fur and wool since the thin polyester fiber fill coats aren't warm enough when it's at it's worst here. January is the hardest month for me as I get cabin fever. I work from home and taking the kids out in January is such a production for little reward.

So what's your weather like?? Tell us about anything unusual where you live.

Toronto is expecting wet flurries this afternoon and more flurries tonight. It is supposed to rain for the Santa Claus parade on Sunday.

We are right about where we usually are at this time of the year. The real cold doesn't set in for another month or so (mid-December to early January) and while I am sure we will get lots of flurries and even the occasional dump of snow, nothing will really stay around on the ground until the end of December or so.

Still riding my Vespa by the way...


Today
-1°C
Partly cloudy FEELS LIKE -7°C
WIND W 26 km/h
GUSTS 52 km/h

Currently sitting at about 35 degrees. Should be getting our first snow any day now... They're calling for flurries on Sunday, we'll see if that happens.

I was in Seoul in December 2003 around the second week of December. There was snow and the temperature ranged between -5°C and 0°C.

I was told that it rarely goes below -10°C in Seoul and while they get snow, they don't tend to get as much as we get in Toronto.

I hate you so much right now.

Where you at, Carn?

P.S.: I have never got the whole Farenheit scale. It is half the Celcius scale plus 32...

No wait. Double the Celcius plus 32. nono.. Minus 32 and divide by half.

divide by half and subtract 32?

I do know that -40c = -40f.

Ahahaha yes you do. I would tell you where I live, but I think I'll go for a swim in my pool right now

I live in Florida, USA. I don't know exactly what the whole conversion thing is from Fahrenheit to Celsius, but I understand both scales. It's actually quite retarded and I wish the US would use only Celsius, but whatever. In aviation they use only Celsius, but I grew up with Fahrenheit.

Range today is 72F to 30F. I live in the desert, so it gets way cold at night (compared to the wamth during the day).

During the summer, it's not uncommon to hit over 110F (middle of the day, in the sun). That same night it could drop to 60F.

In Vegas this weekend it's supposed to range from high 60's to low 50's. I wish it was warmer, I'll not be wearing much...in the way of warm clothing. ;P I'm already packed, leaving straight from work, not much I can do about it now. Not that I want to wear a sweater, however light, to the casinos and clubs.

40 Deuce, here I come, baby!

I know - The US would be better off going to the metric scale and measurements. They are slowing integrating them in the medical profession but it will take some time. For now the most I know is that 32F is about 0 Celcius and 12 F is -12 Celcius. Anything more than that is too much for me to know. I grew up with the English system so metric is confusing for me though I try to pay more attention to it. I like my weight measured in Kilograms better than Pounds. The number is smaller.

Yeah, that Dump in Winnepeg made national news. To you yanks, that is a FOOT of snow in a couple of hours. Basically shut the city down for the day.

That's offensive! It's been low 30F to high 50F here. Nothing fatal but enough that I'm back to my daily trips to the wood pile. Oh, save me from the heating bill!

Hey Cello... it's -4C currently in Toronto but with the wind chill it feels like -10C... it was a bit nippy on my ride in this morning. I think I am going to have to put my scooter away for the winter soon...

The long range forcast says there will be snow and lots of it next week.

It's about -2 °C here, since the sky was clear today. It has been gloomy and rainy for most of the week. Today saw some nice white frost for the first time this season. We've had this weird heat wave all through October and November, temperature's been a balmy 10 °C most of the time, so I still wear the light summer jacket with a knitted sweater under. It's hard to believe I live at 59 °N.

EDIT: The first snow of the season is falling right now! Yay!

Up and out here on the Canadian East coast a few flurries are falling. It's a cool, overcast day, typical of weather this time of year. In the 4 - 5 degrees range, and that in celcius.

The snow we got last week is finally half melted today. My daughter was complaining that the snow was going away before we even got to have Christmas. Little does she know that this was just a taste of weather to come.

I hate the heating bills but I could never give up the wonder of a snow covered world upon waking in the morning after a big snow. Makes me feel like a child again every time.
