How's the weather?

[cnycharles]

Pics from day before yesterday, after checking apt to see if generator was still running or power was fixed. Still looks the same because though sunny too cold to melt

Generator was running but power was fixed (yay). White pine directly in front of apt dropped big branch on our power feeder line. Just heard on radio that over 160,000 in Maryland and Pennsylvania still without power. We still have generator because many power lines and trees still have most of their ice coating. Some wind could make a lot of things snap (it's been fairly still)

Last time walking out to barn with our well pump, ice over 8+ inches of snow was thick enough to support my weight most of the time. I'd hate to be any of the local deer trying to move through this or dig through to food, almost impossible

• Sunday/Monday: 10" snow; cleaned the driveway Monday afternoon.
• Tuesday night: 3" snow immediately followed by freezing rain; cleaned the driveway Wednesday morning. Lots of trees down, but I didn't have to use the generator.
• Wednesday night: the winds kicked in, and a lot of the ice fell out of the trees; cleaned the driveway Thursday morning.
• Thursday night: more ice fell; Screw the driveway. We're supposed to get more snow this weekend, I'll get it then.

Let's hope this crazy winter is over soon for you all in the US. I have to admit, so far the one here has been pretty wimpy - par for the course for Japan since the climate is so moderated by all the water around it.

Europe has been seeing some insane weather. The Alps region has been too warm, causing lots of avalanches and Slovenia first had a terrible ice storm, followed by intense flooding. Here are a couple videos:

Ha ha! That's just cruel Clark. I hope you're digging all the sun.

Meanwhile, the forecast for the next 24 hours here in "warm" southern Japan today (we use military time):

It's snowing again now....not much expected, but 6" are on the way later in the week. An avalanche came off the roof today....had to shovel all over again.

You mean it's not hot and sunny on the Jersey shore?

the worlds wacky weather

Hi,

just to add some comments from the UK about this winter.
The wettest January on record.
Wild storms have hit the west coast of the Uk causing extensive flooding and damage.
We have currently many flood hit areas in the south of the UK including the Thames valley between Oxford and London.
Very mild - I think we have had about 6 frosts since the beginning of December and the lowest temp can only be about -2 degrees.

Check out this animation of the recent weather here in the UK.

Nope. Currently it's -5f a little inland, colder than it was the last two winters in upstate ny

Sounds too cold even for the Polar Bear Club.

Umbrellas for everything in Japan - rain, snow, sun (women here aren't happy unless their skin is ghostly white), and in southern Kyushu in Kagoshima they even have umbrellas for volcanic ash raining down from Sakurajima - an active volcano.

Very windy, and national weather service has adjusted our snowfall expectations to 10-14", plus some sleet and ice (maybe some rain) in the middle of it all. I miss being in upstate where you knew it was just going to snow, usually none if that stupid shiny precip
