What's your weather?

Central Oregon has been without much rain for a couple weeks now (which is rare) but it's been COLD.

Woke up to thick frost on the cars and roofs; temperature of 27.
Right now it's 6:40PM, with a temp of 32 outside. I think it got up to a high of 37 today.......

 

rainy here in GA, was 70 today, 64 right now at almost 10pm

 

Ontario's been unseasonably warm. We've been sitting around 30F to 35F for the last week with constant rain. Monday night the temperature dropped low enough for about an inch of snow but it was almost completely gone by noon and the rain continued.

 

79F and sunny all day.
I washed and waxed my car wearing shorts and a T shirt.
Now its dark and 62F.
Thats why we have so many hotels here.

 

Ditto !

 

... cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.


Every sailing ship had to have cannon for protection. Cannon of the times required round iron cannonballs. The master wanted to store the cannonballs such that they could be of instant use when needed, yet not roll around the gun deck. The solution was to stack them up in a square-based pyramid next to the cannon. The top level of the stack had one ball, the next level down had four, the next had nine, the next had sixteen, and so on. Four levels would provide a stack of 30 cannonballs. The only real problem was how to keep the bottom level from sliding out from under the weight of the higher levels. To do this, they devised a small brass plate ("brass monkey") with one rounded indentation for each cannonball in the bottom layer. Brass was used because the cannonballs wouldn't rust to the "brass monkey", but would rust to an iron one.

When temperature falls, brass contracts in size faster than iron. As it got cold on the gun decks, the indentations in the brass monkey would get smaller than the iron cannonballs they were holding. If the temperature got cold enough, the bottom layer would pop out of the indentations spilling the entire pyramid over the deck. Thus it was, quite literally, cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

 

Not wintery enough. If I can go outside without a shirt at 1AM at 35 degrees and not feel cold... It ain't winter for me yet.

Don't worry every time you come back to this thread these will be current.

 

We were down to 16 Monday night. 18 last night. But it is a dry cold. No frost.

 

Its been great here in NJ in the 60's past week had some time to get under the new (67 Plymouth) wagon but its is changing and getting a lot colder into the 40's next few days which is about normal for this time of year here.

 

Oddly...sounds like our weather is similar to yours right now, KK. Winter is creeping in slowly this year here which is OK with me!

 

Like CW we have been unseasonably warm. Or maybe that's just me...is it warm in here...

Today it's damp, not really raining and a bit foggy, but still warm for us.

 

Weather.

Utah...Cold cold cold, 12 degrees this morning at 7 am, setting at 24 right now at 12:30 pm. Last thursday had 115 mph winds at my house. Yeah it was great, maybe you saw the national press picture of a 99 Camry with a 4 foot around pine tree firmly planted on top of it. I lost a fence a gate, my bug guard on my Tacoma and a broken windshield on the Tacoma. The Shwag was snuggled in the garage safe and sound...Whew. Hardly any snow so far this year, the resorts are hurting.

 

Just went outside for a cig break. It's rainy and nasty, though a bit warmer than normal for this time of year. A friend just sent me a winter storm warning for Ludlow Vermont, where Okemo ski resort and our ski house is, that they're predicting something like 5" of the white stuff tonight. I'm heading up there for Christmas week to do some snowboarding, so the more snow, the better. Bring it on Mom Nature!

 

It is cold for Louisiana, low 30's in the morning been raining and with the metal plates and pins in my right leg, I DON'T LIKE IT! Not sure if I could Survive in the North!

 

About 20F, but with the ice cold wind gusts off Lake Michigan it might as well be below zero. About an inch of snow on the ground and snowing hard off and on. There are the lake effect snow belts and some places not too far apart typically get a lot more snow than others. It's been snowing off and on since before Halloween but it's usually the first or 2nd week of December when it really starts to stick and so far it's looking right on track. It's winter and will be like this till about the 2nd week of May. Except mid to late winter when we can easily see many -20F nights, some -25F, and occassionally -30F.

Typical Michigan roads are a skating rink with no plows or salt trucks anywhere, they'll be like that tomorrow and the next day at least. Or till the sun comes out but that's a rare thing around here especially in the winter. Got hit in the wagon again tonight on the way home. Was able to pull it back out and use a taillight off the plow. Just like any other time, I don't plan on the other driver having insurance so it won't get fixed properly. Between that and the summer road craters, it's really not worth driving anything nice. In 3 miles there was me, a truck sideways, and a jeep on its side against a tree.
