How's your weather ?

[Boaz]

How much variance of temperature do you have during the year ? I live in Texas and it's a big question year to year . Normally the summers are hot and winter is 'mild' . I live in North central Texas bout 20 mile south of the Oklahoma line , the Wichita Falls area . But Texas is known for ..extreme ..weather from year to year . Usually we get a couple of little snows from 2'' to 6'' and it melts in less than a week . 2/3's of winter is T shirt weather but things can change quick . I remember 1980 , stayed over 115 degrees for near a month in July .But seen it get down to 8 below in a winter .

That is what I like about Northern California. We do not have the extremes like other parts of the country, but we have 4 seasons to enjoy. The only part that sucks in CA. is our liberal politicians and the liberals on the coast that keeps voting them in. BUT!!! we have hope, those liberal voters are moving out at a alarming rate for states with lower taxes when they retire. Ca. has more people leaving the state then we have moving in.

[Boaz]

Yea I know ....they are moving here .

[runfiverun]

low to mid 90's to about 25 below is pretty average.
about 2-3 weeks of each.
summer and fall is short, winter and spring are long.

[opos]

I live in San Diego...enuf said...best weather in the Country...but people keep saying "move"....and we keep saying "don't come"...Weather forecasters here have the dullest job in the world...that's why we have a bunch of bikini model "meteorologists" working here...don't have to know anything except.."More of the same tomorrow"...

It got down to 2 above zero Fahrenheit last night. The high today was in the 20's. I call it Global Warming.

[mold maker]

Our last weeks high was 82* and this morning it was below freezing.

[Pipefitter]

Southwest Michigan, about halfway between Chiraq and Detroit. A couple years back we had 4 feet of snow on the ground and hit -18F. Last winter I got the snowblower out once. Summers generally run around 95f with humidity near the top of the scale, but I have seen 100+.

[wddodge]

I'm about an hour south of Toledo and our weather is mostly like Pipefitters except for the amount of snow. We rarely have more than a foot of snow on the ground at a time.

LOL ! In 1972 I hired out climbing poles to install one of the first cable tv systems in North Dakota . On a contract crew from North Texas , we got there in June and were supposed be out bout the end of September .

They had trouble getting 'components' , we ended up staying till January . Not one of the crew even took a sweatshirt when we left . Without going into detail it was a hellish experience , the company here not being geared up for the consequences . LOL , decided I need to live south of the Mason Dixon line thereafter .

[Rick Hodges]

Cold, set a new record for this date here...19 degrees and expected to set another one tonight.

[Boaz]

Had a light freeze yesterday , Pretty early but can happen . Got ready to go to work , the truck windshield had a light skim of ice ...guess I need to watch the weather . Heck ! we still got mosquitos come December a lot of years .

[GhostHawk]

Currently, 2 inches of snow on the ground. Will probably melt in a few days. By the end of november it will probably be here till April. North Dakota ain't for sissy's. The good side is the people tend to be incredibly good around here.

Summer will have a few days pushing 100 if not over it, humidity tends to be 60% so not terrible.

As I get older I am relying more on a couple of window AC units to keep things cooler. Sleep better at night.

[trails4u]

Our last weeks high was 82* and this morning it was below freezing.

Yep....life in the Piedmont (albeit SC for me). Beautiful today....near 70 with crystal clear skies and a very light breeze. Forecast 20s tonight and high 40s tomorrow. Go figure..... It plays hell sometimes trying to heat with a wood furnace!

[ShooterAZ]

Flagstaff, AZ: Highs in the low 60's, lows in the low 30's for the next several days. It's been mild so far. Winters here can be interesting with average snowfall over 100"/year.

[MT Gianni]

Warmest I have seen in SW Montana has been 97 F, lowest has been -35F. In my old work that was the central and western part of the state hottest was 107 F lowest was -44F.

[MaryB]

Where I am in SW MN I have seen it range from -31f to 101f... northern MN has seen -61f to 114f in cities about 100 miles apart... early cold this year, 8 degrees when I went to bed last night and never got above 28.

[bob208]

shirt sleeves yesterday. to night 30 windchill of 20.

[Col4570]

I remember working in Philadelphia January 1974 at Atlantic Richfield.I was really cold icicles everywhere,I had to wear several layers of clothes to keep warm.Here in the UK it is a while since we had any heavy falls of Snow,years back we did have harsh winters with big freeze ups but now the trend is for moderate winters.Having said that I may have to bite my words since the weather can be so unpredictable.

[Shopdog]

Mnts of Va.November of '16 was dang cold the whole month,ran through some wood.Then December was warm,go figure.It's mid 20's here tonight,got the wood furnace cranking.But has been warmer all last month and this till,tonight.Going bowhunting today.

[toallmy]

It's nice and chilly here this morning , but that's a good thing . I am going to cut firewood today , and I hate to cut wood and the grass on the same weakened .

[Hickory]

The weather here has been a lot cooler since Algore fixed global warming, but, the weather now is very unpredictable, I guess it's the climate change I keep hearing about.
Maybe, Algore can fix that too and get the weather back to normal, but wait, when was and what is normal weather?

[bob208]

one winter it was so cold here. when you were out side if you talked to some one. they had to pick up the words and take them in and put them by the fire to hear what you said.

[dragon813gt]

Cold, to cold. I'm actually looking forward to working in Phoenix next week. I hate everything about the area except the weather they have this time of year. It was brutally hot in late August, early September. So the weather now is almost a reward for suffering through it.

[shdwlkr]

those Califorinas moving out are moving in here, hope we have a really snowy winter and they leave come spring or sooner. We don't need liberals here

[Minerat]

We don't talk about the weather in Colorado, it just gives foreigners ideas (Kaliforniaun) and we have too many already.

[Rcmaveric]

Here in Florida, mostly hot, humid and sunny except for the three months of winter. Winter time you get all 4 seasons in a day most the years. Frost in the morning, then spring hits at sunrise, then its full blow summer again at noon. Towards the evening autumn hits then about right at sun goes down its cold as hell and starts to ice over till morning.

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

Where I am in SW MN I have seen it range from -31f to 101f... northern MN has seen -61f to 114f in cities about 100 miles apart... early cold this year, 8 degrees when I went to bed last night and never got above 28.

To everyone else reading this...Minnesota ain't so bad. (I am in south-central MN, not that far from Mary)..but don't get me wrong, Mary is correct in everything she said.

I love the change of seasons that Minnesota has. In a good year, we'll have an equal amount of time in each season (spring, summer, fall, winter) and 12 weeks each. Three months of winter isn't so bad, even when a cold night gets to -25ºF, especially if you have wood heat in the house, so it is economically feasible to have the livingroom at 80ºF, with a half inch of frost on the windows, LOL [smilie=1:

But in a bad year, when winter starts early (snow sticking to the ground in October) and finishes up late, with Blizzards in April...well, that's when I will get a little depressed and wishing I lived on the Baja peninsula [smilie=2:

[vzerone]

Especially since the state is all pine trees! Talking about burning wood. At least up here in TN we have hardwoods.

[MaryB]

I had a 100 year lease on some Baja land... just a camping lot about 1/2 acre. I quit going down there in the late 90's... drug lords had moved in and every year it was getting more and more dangerous. Last year we were there we had to caravan out with military protection until we got to the border. As we went through Ensenada it was like a full scale battle and some of the vehicles ended with bullet holes. Lucky no injuries but I never went back. Sold the lease to someone who runs the Baja 500 and he even quit going there...

[TXGunNut]

Spent the weekend in S TX and weather was so warm one of the hunters worked on projects around the lease shirtless Saturday afternoon. In addition to a nice doe I brought home dozens of chigger bites. For some reason I neglected to take bug repellant on a deer hunting trip. Two weeks ago It was 28 degrees one morning, unusual for S Texas.

[Smoke4320]

28 2 nights ago 35 last night .... mids 60's for a high all week

[quilbilly]

Our first big fall storm rolled through in the last 24 hours with 4" of rain and winds to 40. The ground is saturated now and the next storm rolls in late tonight so should bring in another couple inches of rain. My chainsaw is sharp and fueled.

[starmac]

In the last couple of days we have had 8 to 10 inches. We have just not had any cold weather yet, which is good for some things, bad for others. It is suppose to cool down below 0 starting tomorrow and stay cool for a few days, which will help tighten up the ground.

[jeffs4wheeler]

In New York where we live the high for the year is around 95, the low -20.

[GOPHER SLAYER]

It is supposed to be around 79% here today. My wife and I just got back from Palm Spgs and it was in the mid 80s there. We saw several cars with either British Columbia or Alberta license plates. Opos is right, San Diego has the best weather in the nation, for that matter in the world. It is moderate year around wiih no bugs. You need water to have bugs and Southern California has no water. I was stationed on North Island in the early 1950s and it was just one beautiful day after another. The problem now is the amount of people. I saw on TV several years ago that the most populated area in the Western Hemisphere was the greater San Diego- Tia Jana area. While I am at it I may as well assure all you people who live in cold places, this is one little pea picker you don't have to worry about moving into your section of paradise. I hate cold. I worked for GTE and many decades ago they acquired the phone company that served Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I knew four people who transferred there and three of them transferred back and the fourth man quit the company and bought the trash hauling company that served the town of post falls. He is still there. He wanted me to transfer there so I asked him how cold it got the winter before and he replied -30, nuff said. I guess those winters were just too much for the other three.

[white eagle]

How's your weather ?
outside is frightful
cool snow rain perfect deer hunting weather
:Fire:

[zymguy]

I caught a northern through the ice already this yr . We got winter almost a month early in northern mn

[Geezer in NH]

snowing, dusting actually , normal for the first week of deer season.

[Echo]

We can have 40* swings, Summer or Winter, 65 AM, 105 PM, or 25 AM, 65 PM. More common is 30* swing that we are having now, 59 AM, 89 PM today. And when I was driving a tram at the Air Museum, I told folks that the highest ever recorded in Tucson was 118, and there was good news and bad news - the Good News: I wasn't here! The Bad News: I was in Phoenix, where it was 122!
And we call this time 3D - a Delightful Day in the Desert! 1/10 cloud, small breeze, did some casting yesterday and loob/sizing today, on the patio. Beautiful...

[blackthorn]

Here in Kamloops we are considered to live in a semi-desert climate. In the north Thompson Valley where we are, so far this fall we have had a couple of light snowfalls, while 25 kilometers South, on the hills they got about a foot of snow. All gone now though with rain mixed with snow in the forecast. We can get temperatures from mid-30’s/40’s F down to -30 F (rare). Now I have a cabin two hours away at 5200 ft. that gets all kinds of snow. On the Coast there is some snow, (don’t last long) and rain forest. Essentially, here in BC we have just about all types of climate, depending on where you go. Can get real hot in summer, but that is why we have air conditioning.

[MaryB]

And NO ICE at all in the southern end of MN! People don't realize how tall MN(north to south) is and that we have 2 distinct temperature zones! 45 today, 90% humidity, windy, raw biting cold! Worse than a zero degree day with no wind, at least then the south side of a building is warm(I often stand in the sun on the south side of my house in winter without a coat on to soak up some Vit D and warmth)


I caught a northern through the ice already this yr . We got winter almost a month early in northern mn

[quilbilly]

We now have had 5" of rain in the last 48 hours with more on the way. Late this morning I went down to the bay to check where I launch my duck boat. The wind was a steady 15 kts so the bay wasn't too bad but there was a empty van parked there with a large boat rack. Three hours later the wind increased to a steady 35 with gusts to 50 and the van was still there but waves were up to 4 feet. I called the sheriff and told them to watch that van because, if the hunters panicked as newbies may do, they would never make it back. If they didn't panic and waited three hours, they would be miserable but would make it back alive without a Coast Guard rescue helicopter. The wind died two hours later so I hope they made it. Hunters need to look out for one another.

[Boaz]

It's 63 degrees right now , predicted to get up to 74 by evening . Predicted to be a high of 83 by Friday .
