Good morning everyone! Hope your day is going well.

What's the weather doing today in your part of the world?

It's pretty mild here today, at 4.9 C (about 41 F), very little wind at the moment, and 63% humidity. A cold front is blowing in today and tonight, so the wind is going to pick up, rain is expected, and the temps are going to go down some. I sure wish that rain would turn into snow!

We had a powder sugar coating of snow last night. It looked pretty. The sun has mostly melted it now.

My backyard weather station says it's 40 here.  Winds at 7, gusting to 19.  That is likely inaccurate because there is so much that can block the wind; even with the station in the most open part of the yard.  The humidity sensor is stuck at 98%; where it's been for months. lol  It's nice and sunny right now.  The pressure looks to be rising; it's supposed to hit near 60 by the end of the week.  That will help for the last minute shoppers!

Real overcast here and that's a good thing--we've got a big forest fire down the coast from us, burned 15 homes so far and 800 acres, so we're hoping for rain!!

We're at a balmy minus 10C (14F) today, which is lovely compared to the days we just had at minus 30C (-22F)   - and they were minus 36 with the wind chill, brrrr. On the radio show l listen to in the morning, our weather lady wasn't on the air because her car wouldn't start in the cold 


It's bright and sunny today although our forecast calls for flurries.

It's snowing on and off here today. It's currently -2 feels like -8 (which is 28 feels like 18F). The weather network says it is supposed to both rain and snow every day for the next 4 days and it will be warmer during the day. Probably rain all day and then freeze and snow at night.

It was 12 F when I left for work this morning. And with a gusty breeze. But the sun is shining and it really wasn't too bad when I walked today over lunch. Cold yes. Breezy yes. But really overall, not too shabby.

But............................WE ARE TO BE IN THE MID-60s THIS WEEKEND! MID-60s!!!! It's supposed to rain pretty much all weekend, too. But I may go out for a walk in the rain. Because MID-60s!!!!

8.15pm here in the UK and the winds blowing. When I came out of work at 6.30pm it was driving rain and windy, not very nice. The rain stung my legs. I'm about a hour away from Gemsgem.

Was around 50 early this morning, then warmed up to the 70's. Paul says he is "freezing"! Don't think either of us coudl survive up north any more.

We're at a tropical minus 5 today. DS and l just came in from shoveling the driveway, which always seems like such a chore on the way out, but is so exhilarating once you get going 
  Did the neighbour's adjoining driveway and the other neighbour's adjoining steps. lt's supposed to snow straight through today, tomorrow, and Sunday, so lots of "exhilaration" in our near future.

All that snow? Gone! Gone, gone, gone. 
 

It's already 59 degrees outside and our high is supposed to be 62. I think we'll be higher than that til late afternoon. But rainy. Still.....I'll take it.

We never did get the rain predicted for last week.  It's 41 degrees now, should get up to around 60.  The prediction is for 70 degrees and sunshine for Christmas day--all week, really.  Nice.

I'm so jealous of anyone who's getting warm weather!!!!! We keep getting those horrible Artic cold fronts here, and then it snows on and off in a really weird way. The snow flakes are so fine it's almost like a mist, you have to look really hard at a darker object to see that snow is actually coming down. And of course, it snows just enough to hide the ice too. I'm really looking forward to spring.

yesterday was 86. Mid 80's today also. Hard to believe here that it's December.

Again - spare room is ready - you're all invited!!!
