How's the weather?

[KyushuCalanthe]

You all have seen some pretty darn cold weather this winter in the New York area. I feel cold when it gets below 50 F. This morning was chilly here, right around 30 degrees. That's enough for me!

The cold really kills me physically, as I walk a mile to work...that means 2 miles or so outdoors every day. My body aches, my chest is raw, nose is a perpetual fountain, and my fingers are all covered with cracks. Had a check up yesterday, Dr said I was fine, not sick at all (well, relatively speaking, not counting my ongoing issues...) just irritated from the cold. this morning, even though it was 9, was OK because there was no wind. Coming home was awful...even though it went up to 19, the wind was blowing again...ouch!

Temps. going down to 0F tonight. GH temp. is holding at 59.3F. I'm holding my breath hoping the alarm doesn't go off before morning. I
really don't want to have to trek out there at 3am to turn on more heat!

Today, I drove to and from Grand Rapids to set up our society's display there. The roads were treacherous, with black ice wherever snow was blowing across the road, and it was very windy. At least one vendor cancelled, and 3 societies. Because the weather was deteriorating, I didn't even stay long enough to do any orchid-shopping!

Heard at work today there are propane shortages in many areas, if you can even afford the price. So if you depend in it better get it quickly or you may not see any. We are blowing through it since winter hoops are not designed for this deep cold.
Water has been trickling through faucets day and night and likely will remain so for some time

It's surprisingly cool in our notoriously hot apartment. I'm afraid to water.

Very icy. Power was out earlier for a half hour, and now out again when tree fell on power line out front

Ice in car earlier

Snow in car at work a day ago, had 8 " of snow

Hell! Icy hell! It normally takes me 20 minutes to walk to work...today was 35. Ice, snow, ice falling from branches, and 6" deep puddles disguised as gray snow on the corners. Like a fool, I crossed Queens Blvd when I could have used the subway underpass. First I step into 6" deep dirty ice water, then get showered and totally soaked from the waist down by dirty ice water sprayed by cars. I had a change of socks at work....but had to just wait for my pants to dry.

These are from last week. We got another storm today. Good thing the town removes the snow from the mouth of our driveway as we're running out of places to shovel the snow to. A good old fashioned Canadian winter but I'm so ready for it to end. It's not funny anymore. :sob: We can't even get out our back door....it only opens about 8". As you can see, our Muskoka chairs are covered. The snow on the deck would be about waist deep on me.

Had to use the air conditioner yesterday .
Got the a/c on now, matter of fact.
Sun was a bit brutal at times.
87F. was the high. Maybe I should have used sunscreen...

It seems the great weather god here in Sweden, SMHI (the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute), has decided that we've had enough of winter for now. So, from non-stop snowing for about a month, the temperatures jumped up quite a bit, and now we have non-stop raining again... This has to be one of the wettest winters ever in Sweden.

Gosh, New Jersey is really being impacted by climate change :wink:

Here it's just rain, rain, rain, a little snow, lots of wind, rain, rain, a little sun, rain... and temperatures pivoting around 40 F a couple degrees by day and night. Joyous!

Sounds like seattle

I'll take it..........

Perhaps some of us who are extremely tired of winter rain should make
a donation to CA. I'd be most happy to give!

The relentless heat just goes on and on here. Over 100oF today and again tomorrow and another hot week coming up. Trees and shrubs are dying everywhere as the extreme temperatures and lack of rain are really starting to bite.

So much for weather

Yes, it is odd all over. England and Scandinavia have been mild and wet. The eastern half of the USA is crazy cold, and the west too dry. And I fear that Australia is going to blow away in a ball of fire...

I'll take it..........

Which one, southern Japan or balmy "New Jersey" :rollhappy: It is hard to explain the difficulty of living in an old Japanese house. It is much like camping - the temperature inside is nearly the same as outside!

Sounds like seattle

At times it is very much like that - cloudy and light rain - what I call "drizzmal" weather.

I really feel for you all in Australia now. I hope this heat and drought pass for you soon. It's no fun when weather gets scary...
