How's the weather at YOUR house?

[Todd N.]

So...

The first of the year-end holidays is here and many of us are heading off for parts yonder. On the other hand, some of us are the lucky homebodies whose houses are the gathering spot this year. The problem is, Mother Nature is showing her sense of humor again! Flights are already being cancelled, torrential downpours are making a mess of highways, winter storms are doing their thing all over the country.

I'm in Idaho working on the retirement escape house. My wife and I only planned for a short getaway with the idea of going home Friday morning, but that's not going to work. We are in the path of the giant storm that's beating up on Northern California and Southeast Oregon. I expect that the dog will be doing his business in heavy snowfall before we go to sleep tonight. Oh, and it's currently 37 degrees with a 15 mph wind.

But things aren't bad at all. I have my wife and my happy dog, food, firewood, and 4 wheel drive. Sometimes the simple things ARE the best!

Where are you this Thanksgiving weekend, or where are you going? Are you one of the lucky few who are warm and dry?

[Winger Ed.]

The weather here about 75 miles SE of Dallas is pretty decent for this time of year.
T shirts today, but a North wind just came up, so it'll cool off some.

We have a couple relatives coming in, but most of the time I'll be trying to figure out how to shoot or trap
this college educated squirrel that's been chewing holes in our birdhouses.

I feel like Bill Murry in Caddy Shack trying to get that ground hog.

Kansas has been trying to imitate hurricanes lately. Thankfully not the miniature/ultra violent kind but the gail force wind shenanigans. Its been windy as heck, was today and more in the future. Getting really old....
50mph gusts today. One gentleman that leases space at our aviation facility had to move his kit plane to another building this afternoon. Wind tipped it onto its butt 3 times while pushing it over.

[Iowa Fox]

Cold, rainy and windy here. Tomorrow the winds are supposed to hit 50 mph with rain. I'm glad I'm retired and I have no problem telling people where to go if they want me to go out in crappy weather. Our daughter is having Thanksgiving, she is 6 miles away which is all country driving.

[lefty o]

lots of white crapola outside.

[Iron369]

Rain just started a couple hours ago.

[smoked turkey]

Our winds here are gusting to about 60 mph now and we have been under a tornado watch all evening and it has rained off and on too. the tornado watch is running for another 30 minutes or so. Not my favorite weather for sure.

[JBinMN]

Snowstorm started about 8PM. About 2 inches now, supposed to get up to 8-12 with wind gusts up to 40mph. Supposed to stop by Thanksgiving morning. I am considering canceling our trip to the oldest sons house if it gets bad. They might get even more snow than us & I don't like to deal with holiday drivers much. We can have the T day celebrations another time when it is safer to travel, if need be. No use taking chances and ruining a holiday with stress & the risk of accidents, IMO.

[dangitgriff]

Mid-70’s in North Central Florida with a chance of yankees blowing in from the north. [emoji1783]

[Rick Hodges]

Rain and winds gusting 30mph+ high 40's pretty warm for mornings this time of year.

[MrWolf]

We were about low 60's yesterday. Raining now should stop around lunch but getting windy. Reality starts setting in again tomorrow getting colder again.

[Hickory]

Rain here all night, lot of flooding here in the swamp!
Might see if my pickup can swim to town today!

[Wayne Smith]

Everyone gathering at our house, son and daughter in law coming tonite, son and daughter in law (everyone bringing their kids, of course) and her parents and big brother coming tomorrow AM. LOML says she has everything covered - the only decision I have to make is if I make a fire outside in the firepit (30 mph winds?) or inside in the fireplace.

[Pressman]

Currently 100 miles west of JBinMN 25 mph winds from the north west, snowing though it is supposed to stop late this afternoon. About 9 inches on the ground. Glad I went to the grocery store yesterday.
I hear my snow shovel calling my name.

[lightman]

Its been an unusual Fall here in a State known for its unusual weather. We just had a few days where the temps dropped down below 20º. Then we had a few where the morning temps started out at 60º. We've had no snow here yet, but its unusual for us to get snow. Maybe a light dusting once or twice during the Winter. We are getting our share of rain.

[bdicki]

Low 50's this morning, high 70's this afternoon. had to put a jacket on this morning when I went out with the dog.

[Lloyd Smale]

well half way through posting this the power went out for a second and dumped my computer if that says anything. started snowing at about 5am. We are suppose to get 25-30 inches of wet heavy snow. Local news said the power company had 500 outages this morning. Good thing is im not a lineman anymore and can sit home warm and dry. Id like to have one of there pay checks next payday though!!

[GhostHawk]

Yesterday morning my wife was at her parents in Brookings SD, 180 some miles south of home. I convinced her to get up and get out of there before the snow and freezing rain arrived. Now she is home, we stocked up on groceries, and we can sit and thumb our noses at the weather. (as long as we have electric and nat gas)

The shelves are groaning, yard is ready for winter. I suspect it could get a little fun around here today.

I'm just hibernating till after the holidays then we are headed for Alabama gulf coast and warm weather.

[georgerkahn]

BEST (U S) Thanksgiving wishes to you and all! Temps have (finally!) increased to what is normal for this time of year -- now, 30*F. -- 252024and we have rain forecast for this afternoon, which will hopefully wash some snow away -- and will also hopefully stop before below-freezing temps tonight cause it to freeze. The ground here is not yet frozen, which will help. Here's a photo from camp last week...
To "what?", kids are too distant and both have jobs (:) ) albeit they need work (black) Friday; (older / our age) neighbors who were at our T-giving table in prior years have all predeceased us; do, it'll be just wife and me. (I offered to take her out to restaurant -- but she wishes to instead cook.)
BEST again!

Hi...
Weather here in Southcentral Pennsylvania has been pretty typical for mid to late November.
We had about 2"-3" of snow Sunday morning but it warmed up and melted it all off Sunday afternoon.
Yesterday was 60°F with calm winds.
Today about the same but the winds are expected to reach the 35-40mph range by this evening with falling temperatures.
Saturday I will be deer hunting in northern Pennsylvania and fully expect temperatures in the mid 20s with snow and ice...at least that is what the forecast predicts.

[Handloader109]

really windy..... great day yesterday in north west Arkansas. about 65 sunny, bit windy (as usual) out of the south. wet air. rain in late afternoon and till about 10pm. last time I took old dog out we got wet. Next time at 230am, everything was bone dry. deck was dry as a bone with 20 to 30mph north wind. and cold at about freezing. never seen things dry as fast as that....
sunny with rain tomorrow thru Saturday....

[snowwolfe]

Windy, partially sunny and temperature is 62F. I love Tennessee.

[ShooterAZ]

Flagstaff is forecast to get between 18-24" of snow from Thanksgiving day through Friday. Today the wind is picking up and we're getting ready for the onslaught. I'm really glad we're just staying home and not traveling this year!

[Petander]

Our weather is as usual. Almost too dark for Chrono to work at noon.

[jdfoxinc]

9" + snow.

[lead-1]

Wet and windy but its in the mid 50's. Hope it doesn't dampen the spirits of anyone wanting to stop over at our church for a free turkey dinner this evening.

[Wis Tom]

The wind is 40 mph gusts, and now switching to the west/northwest and temp dropping. We are missing all the snow( going north) so travel won't be bad tomorrow, but it sounds like Sunday could be interesting.

[rbuck351]

We have high wind warnings and the temp is 24, supposed to get up to 25 today. No snow or rain currently. It's just the wife and I this year and with one kid 60hrs drive and the other 12hrs. We are staying home this year but will have both for Christmas. Well, today I'm driving to Kalispell (65miles) to get a new rangefinder but maybe the traffic will be light. I retired in 2016 and we moved to Eureka MT. from Anchorage AK. We are thankful to be here and are enjoying the 4 seasons with the relatively short winters. May you all have a happy holiday season and be as blessed as we are.

[Der Gebirgsjager]

Chemult, Oregon, about 8 a.m. 11-27 -19. Seemed to come a little later this year. 10-12 inches with more forecast over the next few days. Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow....!

[blackthorn]

First, a big happy Thanksgiving to all you folks in the US. Our Thanksgiving was in October and I was away in Quesnel BC at my son's house. Our Moose season almost every year opens October 10 so I am seldom home. So far we have had only one 2" snowfall (about 2 weeks ago). Temperatures hover just around freezing and it has been bright and sunny with some cloudy days. We have to go to the coast on Friday coming back Monday and the forecast is fore it to remain good weather until at least Tuesday. I hope this is true, but if the weather gets really bad we can always stay on the coast for another day or two. Being retired with no animals depending on us to get back is nice----sometimes.

[lefty o]

white, lots of white.

[Texas by God]

46 degrees, maybe rain tomorrow. These clowns will have several playmates tomorrow. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191127/897a2dae4da5c9dd218b024f44b863b7.jpg

I gave up fighting the squirrels and put up a "Squirrel Feeder" now that he has his own he doesn't bother the birds....in fact, the birds come over to the squirrel feeder and steals his sunflower seeds...
You should see him running and jumping around trying to chase the birds off....payback is heck ... That's a lot more fun to watch than the birds just eating birdseed .

I would like to see some pics of your squirrel feeder, if you get the chance.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Windy yes very Windy. Did I say it is WINDY

[mac60]

It was 81 deg. today and really humid. Alabama Gulf coast.

[tinsnips]

[abunaitoo]

It's been raining off and on here.
Kind of hotter than normal, for this time of year.
Not to much wind at all.
Friend is in Vegas for vacation.
Said it gets down to 30 at night.

[Bad Ass Wallace]

Been in drought now for 6 years, the worst in living memory. Three surface dams are empty and trees dying etc. Last 60 days we have had just 30points of rain and every day over 95deg. To think I used to mow this area with the tractor just a few years ago.

[MT Gianni]

15 F and about an inch of snow. Blowing like normal with a weather system entering, 20-25 mph.

[Idaho45guy]

Sunny and 32 degrees with a slight breeze.

You never know what weather you'll get this time of year. Could be sunny and in the 50's or 10 degrees with a foot of snow. Sometimes in the same week.

[Duckiller]

Rained Wednesday morning sunny Wed pm. Raining most of today. Loal paper has got their weather page all messed up so no reports on amount but we are getting ahead of normal.

[Idaho45guy]

It was 13 degrees when I got off of work this morning at 6am. I left the stove off while I was at work so the house was a chilly 57 degrees when I got home. Having a glass of wine and surfing the web while it warms up. It's up to 63 now, lol.

[KCSO]

72 and clear...inside...20 and snow and wind outside!

[oneofsix]

Cloudy 50 this morning in the sandhills of NC.

Inside a balmy 69.6 degrees. Big pot of turkey bone broth soup going on the stove in 5 min.

Outside, tis winter with that horrid white stuff coming down. Not big fat flakes either, little drifty stuff.
31 degrees with a 30 mph north wind blowing. Wind chill puts it half way to zero. Good day to stay home, drink hot beverages, eat up the last of the turkey day feast and enjoy.

[woody1]

7 degrees last nite, up to 17 now, 6" of snow and waiting for more to come today and tomorrow, with wind. Lord help us, I'm having hip replacement surgery on Tuesday.

[Todd N.]

20* outside and it's FINALLY sunny! Got another short round of snow last night. Leaving the cabin a day early because a big dump of snow is expected to start tomorrow morning. And the wife insists we act like adults and instead of staying long enough to get snowed in for a couple more days! [smilie=1:

[dannyd]

73 and sunshine

[coloraydo]

53 and sunny today.

A little “snowy”

[fcvan]

I went to Mom and Dad's in Santa Barbara, CA for thanksgiving. Sunny for the most part with some sporadic rain. Back at the Nor CA house, they had wind so bad videos were posted of roofs blown off of commercial buildings. A friend's tree fell on her roof leaving a branch poking out of her roof. Back home in CO, several feet of snow, blowing wind and snow, then rain which partially melted to snow and that turned to sheet ice. Thank god the wife has the 4x4 back home.

[Minerat]

Outside 34 and sunny, wind blowing 25 gusts to 40. Snow drifting across driveway again.

Inside 78 wood stove is warm and King Solomon's Mine is playing on the tube.

[snowwolfe]

60 and raining here. Went for my exercise walk this morning in shorts and tee shirt
Life is good

[bdicki]

Cold front coming through on Sunday night, lows in the 40's with highs only in the 60's.

[LawrenceA]

Monsoons brewing. But no rain
Dry electrical storms.
No rain in 10 months. Livestock just dying with survivors coming into town yards at night to find feed.
Over 100 degrees during the day and drops to 80 at night.

Hot and muggy here in central Texas. Maybe 82 degrees here. Cold front tonight, going to plunge down to 65 tomorrow.

[Idaho45guy]

The Winter I was born was the coldest on record for my hometown. Never seen it close to being that cold since.

https://judge3690.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/cold-anniversary-moscow-idaho-resident-recalls-1968-record-chill/

Terry and her husband of 45 years, Mike, are survivors of the coldest winter in Moscow history, which peaked on the night of their first anniversary, Dec. 30, 1968. While temperatures in town plummeted to -42 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature in the low-lying Palouse Hills Mobile Home Park (southwest of town) further plunged to -52.

[Walks]

It just stinks here in SoCal, icy cold rain. First Rain in 6 months.

Had Wife's Nephews coming up from San Diego to fix, repair, paint Patio framing. And Paint trim. Everything soaked for 3 days.
Now it can't get done between Xmas & N. Y.

I pray it doesn't rain then. For some reason Our Homeowners Insurance wants a home inspection by Jan 15th.

I'm just too crippled up to take care of things myself anymore. Very Painful to not be able to maintain your own house.

[iomskp]

It's 27 C or 80 F here and 73% humidity, 1938 hrs no wind and dry.

[Randy Bohannon]

60 mph wind 6” of snow rearranged into 3’-4’ drifts, all interstates were closed in WY and many state highways. No chance of going anywhere for a few days. Wyoming is the only state I am aware of that has iron gates on the interstates (all 3 of them). You will be arrested if you go around the gates,we don’t send our EMS or LEO’s out to where the idiots are playing until the weather allows it.

[Tom W.]

Been rather nice, but supposed to drop tonight and stay on the colder side for our area. But not for too long just yet.

[DougGuy]

Gray and rainy all day in central North Carolina, but not too awfully cold. 50s and 60s.. Cold front coming soon. We don't get much snow here and we're not about to complain about that either.. It usually doesn't get really cold here until mid January, then March comes and winter is over.. Gotta love it!

North Carolina is one of a couple of states I would live in outside of the Northwest. It and Arkansas seem like a good blend.

My company has a large office there and I could make the move if I want.

My daughter and grand kids are being reassigned next year to an unknown Air Force base either in Georgia, Florida, or Texas. I may move to be closer to them. Company has offices all over the country, and the world.

[375supermag]

Hi...
Damp and dreary here in Southcentral Pennsylvania today.
Weather liars called for 1-3 inches of snow overnight into this morning... didn't happen.
Only profession where you can be wrong 50-60% of the time and keep your job.

[robg]

-1c last night first frost of year

[David2011]

Just outside of Houston, T shirt and shorts weather for the next few days, then it will cool off to the 60s for a few days. It only gets cold in this area when fronts pass but Gulf Coast humid cold penetrates to the bones. In New Mexico 25 felt about the same as upper 40s with the humidity here.

[Mal Paso]

We are in a lull between storms. We've had heavy rain off and on for 8 days now. I did a town run for chainsaws to prune the tree next to the house. It was fire damaged and may not survive the coming storm Friday without some reduction in size. There are small slides on the driveway and the roadbed looks like we had a full winter already.

[Wis Tom]

Going out to restock the woodshed, as it has been nice, here, for the week, but it's a coming, according to the forecast, for next week.

[quilbilly]

Mild but gloomy out here on the Olympic Peninsula. You fellow shooters down in California should send a little of that rain up here. This has been one of the driest Novembers in history in memory up here with only 2/3 of an inch or rain all November, usually the wettest of the year with usually 7-9 inches during the month. The rivers are dead low and clear causing closures of river salmon fishing and now steelhead fishing is in trouble. Our house depends on a well and this dry spell is coming worrisome

[Hossfly]

68’ and sunny here today but that will change.
