I've been watching Weatherbug like a hawk waiting for it to get cold so it can snow. XD It hasn't snowed yet, but hopefully soon!

It's 21 degrees F right now and clear. (32 is the freezing point) Weatherbug says the low might be 16. It used to say tomorrow's low was 10, but it's up to 16 now also. Still good though, 16 is pretty low for my area. (General Seattle area.)
Today (well, yesterday now I guess..) it started out at 35 in the morning but went down by 5 degrees during the day, which like never happens, so that was cool.
I'm usually not a statistics nut, but colder means more chance for snow and more chance it will stick and pile up and wall us in and we'll have to tunnel out! X3 (That happened last winter, it was awesome!!)

What's it like where you guys are??

It's getting cold where I live, as well. It's -4 right now in south western British Columbia.

It's getting hot here, 75F (24C) at 1am, and it will be 93F (34C) max tomorrow, and the next day.

When I converted the above temperatures to Celsius, it sounds like you spend winter in the freezer!

The winters here in the middle of the year, about 79F (26C) max. We think 65F (18C) is freezing to us, because we don't own cold weather clothes etc.

It was 23 on Friday night and 19 Saturday night. It only got up to 37 on Friday--in Central Texas no less!

We were supposed to get snow here, but it was too dry, and all the snow fell in Houston and the Bryan-College Station area.

It was 25 degrees F when I left my house at 8:00 this morning. I think it is up to 30 now. We have a chance of a little snow in the next week or so, but it is clear right now. :sunny:

Delightful weather in the Lower Mainland--clear and cool (temps hovering either side of freezing). It's pretty dry, too, right now, the dew point was -15 last night, so despite it being down to about -5 or so, there was no frost.

emc2, thanks for the converted temps. :3 I'm trying to memorize celcius, but it's hard cuz it just never gets used here.
Wow, your high tomorrow is like.. the highest it's ever been where I live. People can hardly manage to step out their doors in that kind of heat here. XD;;;


Woah CockneyRebel, visagrunt, that's pretty impressive! It never gets into minus temperatures around here. The lowest I remember is about 7F, but that was at a higher elevation.

Baaah, I just watched the news and they're saying it will be too dry for snow for the next few days. D:

It's 27 degrees currently.

It didn't get past freezing here in Portland.

When I was in Downtown Portland this afternoon,
it was only 25 degrees. The wind chill made it feel like 8 degrees.

I'm a Production Chemist playing consultant for a Russian oil company. Mainly work a few hours drive from a town called Nizhnevartovsk in West Siberia. I do a 28/28 rotation, which allows me to thaw out during the northern winter.

I'm not going to pretend I know what that entails, but it sounds like a pretty interesting job. XD



15F this morning.
