Re: Weather!
The dreaded wintry mix showed up here today. I think it finally switched to rain where I am, but the area has a winter storm advisory in place until 7 PM, last I heard. I've not been out of the house all day. My little cat wanted to go out, so I opened the door.... he walked out, stood on the driveway for a few heartbeats, and then walked right back in. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

I see the 'house-bound' resident owl has added an -!- to her sig. I guess it will be a while before the effects of 12/21/12 wear off fully. ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Weather!
We've collected a few inches of snow over the last week or so... not a lot of moisture, but at least it seems like winter now. Last night, as we waited for the New Year, the temperature dropped to -16°C and a fine dust of snowflakes drifted down from a clear sky. A spectacular double lunar pillar formed, but by the time I set up my camera the upper pillar had mainly faded. But the lower one extended all the way to the ground... the nicest I've ever seen. A great way to start the new year!

Re: Weather!
Dang! tried to edit a sentence and lost the whole post!
Just wanted to say that the weather Chanel is predicting some milder weather for us! A week of mid 30's and low 40's for highs; Fahrenheit of course! I''ll probably wind up with an early dose of Spring fever!

Re: Weather!
About the same here, Orin. After a couple-a-few nights of 0' F, give or take, with some wind, I'll be glad to have some *balmy* 30-40' F days. ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Weather!
Winter strikes back!
Its freezing cold, around 0° C, but after weeks its sunny again at least.
When I got home today, I used my hairdryer to defrost my ears.

Here's what my week looks like according to the weather-or-not men. I'm in the top row of numbers, for inland.
As you can see, our January thaw will be shortly going down the cold wintery drain. Brrr.To find the Truth, you must go Beyond.

Cheer up, Orin. Spring is just around the corner. Here... that's the season of mud and bugs. It gets so crazy sometimes... that wabbits will even lay colored chicken eggs

Re: Weather!
Yup, you can't have mud without wet. So if you find you have mud later on, then you knows you gots wet. I never took to wabbit eggs when i was a kid. It never made any sense that a wabbit could get into some of the places that they were supposed to have laid eggs.orin stepanek wrote:I do hope we get some moisture this year; even if that means mud and bugs this spring!Beyond wrote:Cheer up, Orin.

Do you like the wabbits that lay the colored eggs at Easter? My wife takes some of the wabbit eggs and uses them for deviled eggs after wards. I always made colored eggs for my grand kids; but I think they are starting to outgrow the bunny season!

Re: Weather!
Here, too. Haven't been out of the single digits for almost three days now. Running -10°F at night, the highest I've seen in the day is 8°F. The good news is that's a long enough stretch of extreme cold to kill pine beetles.orin stepanek wrote:Out here it's been cold! :cry:
I don't expect to see double digits until sometime tomorrow, and just teens.

Re: Weather!
I'll bet it's pretty cool there most of the year! Out here it is supposed to get mild for a few days, and then cool down again with the chance of snow! We need the snow for moisture; even though it brings more cold!Chris Peterson wrote:Here, too. Haven't been out of the single digits for almost three days now.

Cold weather, snow, cold weather
We were lucky for about three weeks to have mild weather, starting about a week before Christmas Eve. The snow melted, and I was happy.
But about a week ago it turned cold again. And yesterday we got a lot of snow. Last night was bitterly cold, and the Swedish National Weather Service claimed that we in Malmö had -15C. Well, the Swedish National Weather Service has picked an extremely cold spot in the eastern outskirts of Malmö to measure the temperature, and where I live we had about -8C.
This morning I had to cycle to the train station. I do my shopping on Wednesdays because I can go home from work early on Wednesdays. I do my shopping on my way home from work, when I carry my school things with me. There is no way I can walk or take the bus carrying two or three heavy bags plus my school things. I simply need to load everything on my bicycle.
The streets and bicycle paths were covered in stiff to semi-stiff, knobbly, ultra-slippery dirty snow of varying thickness. I felt like rodeo hero, trying to tame my wild bicycle and prevent it from bolting in an unpredictable direction. I almost fell five times.
The ice cold weather is here to stay at least for the next ten days, apparently. We'll get more snow, too.
Joy.

Re: Cold weather, snow, cold weather
You should get a horse. Without shoes, they are very stable on ice, and are heated as well! I don't suppose that Malmö provides hitching posts alongside the bike racks at train stations?Ann wrote:The streets and bicycle paths were covered in stiff to semi-stiff, knobbly, ultra-slippery dirty snow of varying thickness.

Re: Cold weather, snow, cold weather
No hitching posts, no. I suppose I could do like well-known Swedish fictional character Pippi Långsturmp, who either rides her horse everywhere or carries him with her. At home she keeps him on the porch. Maybe I could keep my horse on the landing outside my apartment? But I'm not sure he'd be happy about riding the elevator.Chris Peterson wrote:You should get a horse. Without shoes, they are very stable on ice, and are heated as well!

Re: Weather!

I saw today in one of the grocerie store tons of easter sweets and that in the middle of January![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
