Hows is your weather today? Or anything else for that matter

[Rusco]

It snowed here too yesterday and last night. At morning I shoveled the courtyard but it looks like it will snow again tomorrow or next night. The branches in trees carry a heavy load of snow already and I could hear sounds of fission from trees in forest. Couple of tree tops broke and fell down. Normally trees endure such weight and more too but now the snow is so wet it weighs a lot more than normally. When there's not cold enough the roots are not frozen yet so the trees may become unstable.

I was in Manchester last night and it was SO cold and I went to the gig I was going into with two t-shirts, a thick jumper and a thick leather jacket... I seem to remember the last few winters in the UK have been fairly mild.  But this one is a proper bollocks-freezer.  Ladies, insert your own definition. 

That will be "Fanny Freezer"

 

The snow is still here. We finished school at 3 today and are not going to start until 9.30 tomorrow so everyone can take their time travelling......makes no odds to me because I only live down the road and i walk it.

Today it was -17° Celsius, next morning -19° assumably. Forecasts say it is expected to go near to -30° Celsius on next week because of a high-pressure area coming from Siberia. High-pressure is good. Nice, sunny and beautiful without winds or storms.

Probably the best day of the year here  , although it was it bit colder when I was in Glasgow.  Booked a tattoo for a week on Friday when I was there .

That'll be the freezing, windy and snowy weather that we're forecasted to get next week

Said this morning on TV that it's an Artic blast and temps could drop to as low as -8

A full 25 degrees over normal February temperatures here in New York. Set a record. Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer.

I have no idea what it is, but the climate here in NY is all messed up. Two months ago we had a stretch of the coldest winter temps on record; today and tomorrow we have the warmest winter temps on record. Wearing shorts in February tomorrow. This weather here is not normal. Scary almost.

It seems you're sending some of that our way, too.

I am not complaining, mind you - I love cold, sunny winter days. It's not going to be THAT cold...but still.

Looking out of my office window at the Rhine, it's a tad misty but sunny. -2°C, I think. Already had a lovely dog walk much earlier and I which I could be out with the dogs later instead of sitting here - but it seems I'll have plenty of time for that at the weekend.

New York cold is unforgettable for me.2 years ago I was trying to smoke outside the hotel and I couldn't even finish my cigarette as a hard smoker.I can't imagine NY and hot/warm together

[Whirlwind]

Yeah, we get extremes here. Bitter, bitter life ending cold in winter, and then we get can't even leave the house heat and humidity in summer.

I always think of my fellow Americans in parts of Hawaii or Florida or parts Alaska and how they essentially have just one wardrobe. Here in NY we have the heaviest winter coats, sweaters, gloves, scarfs and snow boots along with sandals and shorts and multiple swimsuits. At the end of the season we "put away our winter clothes" (box them up) and take out our summer clothes. I wonder if you folks across the pond do the same.

[Rusco]

Well we do. Still have all the 4 seasons. But the latitude is also norther here where I reside. Not maybe burning hot summers but some of it too.

But as we know it's not only about the latitudes. Climates have gone so distorted. We face more often extreme sides of seasons and weather phenomenons.

Well, in some odd way I am glad to hear that. It's not just us getting clobbered with insane extremes. We are all in this together. That's how things get solved.

yeah born and raised here in Türkiye I grew up in mediterranean climate and luckily we have 4 seasons too.I love all seasons have no favorite one but as an Agean it's great being in the seaside in summer and right after get up walk to beach and jump into the sea.It makes everything okay.

So the beast from the East has arrived,  we avoid the worst just. All trains cancelled in central Scotland, red alert don't travel warnings. Fairly thick powdery snow with a bitting cold strong wind causing drifts.  Gotta say fckin freezing with the wind chill factor  -12c .

[Red]

Had 2 days of heavy snow and biting winds

All major and trunk roads in Lincolnshire have been blocked today

Hopefully over the worst of it and getting better soon

[Bunny]

Very fine powdery snow, after not a lot all week. Traffic is slowing to a crawl as the world starts to look a bit white. And more to come in the next couple of days.
