Question Of The Day, Wednesday, January 3, 2018

[Mamanyt1953]

GUESS WHAT? We might even get a little accumulation of snow tomorrow! Schools in our county are closed due to weather! And that leads us to my Question for this week. Y'all know how much I love snow, but it isn't actually my favorite weather phenomenon. My favorite weather phenomenon is something that you only get in the far north. I'm utterly entranced with ICE FOG! It's just what it sounds like, a fog of ice crystals, it looks a bit like this:

See how the back end of the car looks clear, and the fog is on either side? That is because you actually punch through the fog, and since it is frozen, it only slowly fills in behind you. A man walking down the street in it leaves a hole shaped like his body. You can write your name in the air, and it hangs there for a few mintues before slowly filling in again.

What is your favorite weather condition/phenomenon?

That picture makes me want to and then

I want my weather

1. Warm
2. Sunny
3. A nice breeze

Like this:

Add in some top shelf margaritas and a fine young cabana boy to bring them to me and it's now

I love a cool spell (down in the 60s) in mid-summer.

 

[denice]

I like snow if it isn't followed by extreme cold. I think it is pretty and at 61 I still like to play in the snow.

My least favorite is hot and humid. I just stay inside with the air conditioning.

 

[muffy]

Snow is my favorite as long as I don't have to shovel it or drive in it. That's the nice part about being retired. We are suppose to get a couple inches tomorrow and I have an early doctor's appointment.

 

[Winchester]

Hazy, hot and humid. Bring it! ( Kat0121 I'll take some of those margaritas....with the cabana boy. Thanks!)

 

[rubysmama]

Rainbows! They're rare enough that it's always a thrill to see them.

 

[AbbysMom]

A nice cool crisp fall day that warms slightly during the day and then back to chilly at night.

Snow is my favorite as long as I don't have to shovel it or drive in it.

Although Autumn is my favorite season I'm not sure if it is considered a weather condition/phenomenon so I would have to say snow as well. I don't like anymore than a few inches, i.e. just enough to cover the ground and watch the snowflakes fall from the sky.

Weather condition: I like cooler or lukewarm weather, fresh and sunny or some clouds.

Phenomenon:

Aurora Borealis

(Was lucky enough to see one once!)

Cloud Tsunamis

(Spooky without it being horrifyingly dangerous!)


Sea Smoke

This occurs in the small city 45 minutes away from where I live. Really pretty and mystical.



I also really enjoy pretty fog in the morning.


I am sure there are many more but those came to mind first!

Undisturbed fresh snow is the prettiest thing.

 

[Mamanyt1953]

SIGH! We have one of my least favorites right now. Sleet. Ick. But I think I can smell the actual snow off in the background, somewhere.

 

[Mother Dragon]

I love a rip-roaring thunderstorm - as long as I'm safely inside and it doesn't strike within 250 feet.

I have been seeing Sea Smoke for at least a week, coming from the river.. and a few times from the ocean..

My favorite weather occurrence is a heat wave. I LOVE weather in the 90*F range, especially if it sticks around for a while. If it were a dry heat, I would even love high 90's. Unfortunately, I don't live in a location where this happens often.

I have never heard of ice fog before! Wow.

As a kid living in southern California, I used to love the Santa Ana winds - Wikipedia. Fall has always been my favorite season, and the winds would come in, hot and dry, and strong. I would stand outside and just let the wind go around and through me and feel like I could just fly away.

Of course now, as a practical adult, I see them more as a fire danger than anything else but back then, it was magical.

~ I like a mist or light rain - partly overcast . The weather following a rain shower is my favorite . A rainbow is always nice !

 

[Winchester]

Gorgeous pictures, guys! cassiopea I have never seen cloud tsunamis....how beautiful! We are able to see the northern lights in central PA from time to time. Once we know they're there, then we get dressed and walk around outside to watch them. It's usually really cold, but so worth it. The northern lights are beautiful.

fog! i just love fog. and we get it quite often where i live, because we're near a lake. i love when it 'rolls' across the fields.
