Mike Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Well, it's been cold here by our standards, I mean it's not officially winter until 10:35am PST next Wednesday, I realize. But we have been down in the mid-20's over night and we normally are at the upper 30's to 40 for lows this time of year. So my family sent me some pictures and I wanted to research where they originated. Here is one of the pictures - ...and here is the story behind it and some other pictures. http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/icestorm.asp Ok, so it's not that cold around here. Brrrr! How cold is it were you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelyday Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 The weathers up and down like a yoyo over here. Sunday it was hot and sunny, Monday it rained, Yesterday it was dry again, and this morning it was pouring down. I have my fingers crossed that it'll be sunny and hot again on Christmas day.

CanAm Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 -5 tonight , + 8 tomorrow ... the bloody tropics ! I'm off to Calgary on Friday and am expecting a -15 ~20 night a 0 day , at best ... Actually, Kevin, you should be in for a pleasant surprise. The high today was +6C(43F) and tomorrow's high is supposed to be +9C(48F). If you want cold, you should have been here 2 weeks ago when the daytime highs were about -31C (-24F). It was enough to freeze the ba**s off the proverbial brass monkey. BRRRR!!! Also, we have almost no snow . It may be a brown Christmas! Bah, humbug!

katie_sane Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yep, January and February suck, weather wise. My state has been placed on extreme fire alert and total fire bans for the next three days have been issued. Depends which part of the country she's heading to. I'm in southern NSW which doesn't suffer the kind of heat Old55 would be feeling up there in Queensland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyday Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 The weather here is still crazy, yesterday I woke up to the sun streaming through my window, about half an hour later it poured down with rain. It's really windy today, it better calm down for Christmas, I'm hoping for awesome weather for New Years, coz i'm going to the bach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Here in Windsor, we've not had any snow since a mild dusting in December. Unheard of. I can never remember a January with *zero* snowfall. And it has been mild. Mid 40's to low 50's mild. Wouldn't be bad, but this sun worshipper is a little down as it is always grey. Overcast. Or dark. Wake up, it's dark. Go home, dark. I cannot wait for those first glorious couple of days in late March when it approaches 70 and every cell in your body stretches and shakes off winter and smiles toward the sun. Seeing robins for the first time and smelling things growing. That exciting smell of earth, and green, the promise of summer. God I hate winter....
