WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[St1ck]

We have already had 22 days at or below zero, more than 3x the average.  We are on pace for the coldest winter in over 100 years.  Not warming up any time soon.

 

 

 

Just hang in there another 4 or 5 months, and you will get your 3 months of decent weather.

Just heard that the Bay Area is getting hammered with rain this morning and traffic is a mess up there.

 

We're supposed to get some of that rain later today and tonight.

-9 when I drove into work this morning but the forecast is changing for the better starting tomorrow.

So far in SoCal this winter:  .07 inches.

This storm is supposed to drop around a quarter inch of rain.   Not much, but it's a start towards ending the drought.  

[Blarg]

This is not a storm.

[fan_since79]

Current forecast is showing a 60% chance of rain today.

 

In other words, a few sprinkles if we're lucky.

[DB24]

Perfect weather today, just perfect.

[Tank]

Perfect weather today, just perfect.

Absolutely. Can't get enough of these days.

It rained on my way home tonight and the 10 FWY became Mr Toad's wild ride with accidents on both the West and Eastbound side. Eastbound right around Robertson there were 3 firetrucks, a couple of ambulances with more coming. I never saw the actual accident, it was behind an overpass but it couldn't have been a simple fender bender.

Great Falls, Montana had their lowest temperature in 18 years yesterday morning, minus-34.

 

I wonder how mt's doing.

[nate]

Here we go again, windchill of -50 tomorrow morning and Tuesday m orning.

Going to get up to the 60s here in the next few days.  Bring on Spring training.

Got back from NY last night where it was in the 20's/30's. It was fun to experience a legit winter for a couple days. Now I'm looking forward to high 70's at the beach this weekend.

 

Visiting the cold is fun but I think I'll keep my permanent residence in Southern California.

New York and other East coast cities are getting hammered today by snow. NY City had 7 inches by 9 AM, and Philadelphia is also getting blasted. 

[Angel Oracle]

Old childhood hometown (Charlotte) got about half a foot of snow and some ice from the latest storm.

[nate]

The people I work with in PA have already gotten about a foot and are expecting 6-10 more inches by 9AM tomorrow.  I have two people doing the job of 10 right now because all of our offices in the NE are closed.

[Crampknees]

I don't know how you guys do it nate. I guess you have to so you just adapt.

Philly will get hit with a second storm tonight. This is the first winter ever that they've had four snowstorms of at least 6".

 

 

copied this off the NWS site, for Philadelphia and surrounding areas today:

 

* Accumulations... snow accumulation of 10 to 14 inches... along
with less than a tenth of an inch of ice.

* Winds... north 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

* Timing... heavy mixed precipitation will become lighter this
afternoon northwest of Interstate 95 while mainly lighter rain'
and sleet should occur during this lull southeast of Interstate
95. The mixed precipitation will transition back to snow tonight
with additional accumulations throughout.

* Impacts... travel will be hazardous at best as roads become 
covered with snow and sleet. The snow will be wet and heavy 
and it will likely bring down tree limbs and utility lines 
resulting in widespread power outages.

Yeah each conference call I am on they spend the first 10 minutes talking about the weather.

 

It is snowing pretty hard here.  We were only supposed to get 1-2 inches (seems like we get 1-2 inches of snow every other day) but the dog just went out and the snow on the deck was almost up to her back, probably 6-8 inches.  Just 15 miles to the west they hardly got anything so it is all just lake effect snow here.  I don't mind since I don't have to go anywhere.

[Spencer]

it's almost 80 here

So you're a little dog guy, huh?

Makes sense.

Mid 60s here all weekend.  Time to spend some time outdoors.

We got her when we still lived in an apartment.  She is about 25 lbs Schnauzer.

 

Golden Retrievers and English Bulldogs are by far my favorite breeds.

The snow turned to ice on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and this was the result:

One thing I don't get... why don't they salt the roads?  That never happens here.
