Weather in your area?

[Supervisor42]

I think we got down to 19° last night, (what I saw at my 5am pee).
But the constant 20mph north wind is what really bites.
A beautiful full sun is quickly melting our ice-stuff.

 

[Weedygarden]

Three inches of snow total, so far since Friday. It looks like we are done getting snow for a while. It was a dry fall, so it all helps.

Woke to warmer temps this morning. Depending on where you look, it is 8 degrees or 19 degrees. Wind chill is lower, of course.

It seems that school districts are closed for many miles. The eastern plains and especially northeast Colorado still have negative temperatures.

When I was teaching for Denver (DPS), it was a rare day for a day off, or for late start or early closing. I remember two early closing days. They tried to keep schools open for working parents and for breakfast and lunch for children who would not have had anything to eat at home. I'm not sure what changed about that, maybe enough law suits against DPS due to expecting children to be out in frigid weather. Recess on those cold and snowy days was held in the gymnasium. Sometimes they played a movie in the library. Since that was my lunch half hour, I only had to escort my students there.

Yes, and when you are living where it is really cold and have had a big snow storm, you can see how someone like this might be complaining as well! If you don't have this very often, it is bothersome!

 

[Tirediron]

it is down right warm out here -5c / 21 f and a really light snow, the kind that packs to a thin layer of ice on the roads

We made it to 20°, and it's sunny!! Teens tonight, starting to warm up!!! Have I mentioned that I miss summer!?

Well, we finally made it above freezing for a few hours (33.4°).
I thought this was interesting, the sun shining on the roof of the neighbor's shed melted the ice, but then the freezing wind froze it back into icicles before it could escape.
This is not something you see in Louisiana!

 

[Plainflatlander]

Well, 4 inches of snow it is. Then it flipped to rain. Now freezing up, tonights low is 17. Should be interesting for tomm. morning commute.

 

[UrbanHunter]

The weather man says that for the next 6 days we will have high's of about 25-30F, Lows 8-17F, no more snow before Friday.

We would always have winter weather, but this is the fourth year in a row for artic air, thankfully not accompanied by ice in my area! It would be nice to NEVER see it again!! But if we do, I'll share!!

Yes... Many times, even if you can get to Mc Bride or Kelowna doesn't mean you can get out again, let alone up or down the Caribou... Luckily we have good roads, streets yet... Again today 5/-15F forecast through the weekend... All take care.. eh...

...You coulda left off that last sentence .

 

[Bacpacker]

We ended up with just over 8" of snow. Almost filled my rain gauge. Melted down to 1.32" of precip. That was a WET snow. An inch typically equates to about .10"
Got up to 28, going down around zero by morning

Yesterday it was around 18°F at night (when I got up to pee-- don't remember what time). Waterlines are frozen. Don't know if anything ruptured but the temps never got above freezing yesterday. Thermostat says its 15°F out right now. I regret that I was too sick to prep for the cold and protect the pipes before it hit.

My water was dripping but the line to my terlet is frozen.
Bummer, looks like a trip down under with a pex crimper is in my future

 

[Mountain trapper]

For some reason the water hydrant by the chicken coop froze. I'll have to dig it up this spring and see what happened. It's buried 5' deep and has never froze before. We have to carry water from the barn to the coop now until it thaws out around April.

 

[Frodo]

Sounds like the drain hole is plugged

 

[Mountain trapper]

Yeah, I think that's what happened. Nothing broke and it's not leaking. I've got a couple spare hydrants laying around here just in case.

Monday and the following seven days it is supposed to (according to The Weather Channel) be in the 30s. That's MUCH better than it's been.

 

[Tommyice]

We finally got appropriate weather for our area the last day or two. This morning it's 14* yesterday we had snow overnight (about 3 inches) then on to freezing rain and 29* . It's wicked icy this morning. Went through a whole 5 gallon bucket of ice melt between the building and dad's property next door.

 

[Pearl]

Was 10° at 3am, now 20° at 6:50am, wind is out of the southwest, will be above freezing today!!

 

[Bacpacker]

Sunny blue skies. 4 degrees

 

[Peanut]

14 last night, been a few years since it got that cold. Sunny with blue skies here too. supposed to get to 36 this afternoon. The chickens will like water instead of ice in their tank.

 

[LadyLocust]

We are up to 17* Supposed to be up to 26 by 5pm and snow the rest of the day. Only a few flurries at the moment.

 

[backlash]

We have also warmed up. Almost 25° warmer (?) than yesterday.
Got snow last night with more ice and snow forecasted for the rest of the week.

Here is a tip for the ° sign. Hold the alt key and type 0176.
* works too and it's easier to remember.

 

[Pearl]

Made it to 44° here today with a damp feeling southeast wind! Upper 50's tomorrow before another stupid cold front!!

 

[LadyLocust]

Don't believe the weatherman who says we are having heavy snow.
What's really happening is freezing rain about 1/4" over everything.

Thank you - on typewriters it used to be where the asterisk is.

 

[Pearl]

Have I mentioned how much I miss summer??

 

[Weedygarden]

We had a high of 48 degrees today. When it is cold I wear a fleece jacket and then another jacket over it. Today I was able to go out in just the fleece for a while. Woo hoo!

I have never been able to get this to work.
