[NMDemDist2]

1. it's clear and 60 here. beautiful day

last night was VERY windy and cold, huge front came through right around sunset

but it's lovely today

[dflprincess]

2. Sunny all afternoon with an expected high of

-2 (air temp - we won't discuss this morning's windchills)

[ChazII]

3. Positively beautiful at 72 degrees and

a lovely blue sky. Perfect weather for the PF Chang Rock'n'Roll Marathon this weekend! Folks coming to the NFC play-offs from PA are going to hate us.:evilgrin:

[Critters2]

4. It's sunny here

and 3 above. Windchill of -10.

And still, I wouldn't want to live anywhere without seasons.

[Blue_In_AK]

5. It's absolutely beautiful here, too.

Cloudy, snowing and 25 degrees. After almost two weeks of well below zero temperatures, it feels like summer. :)

[rvablue]

10. Seriously, Blue, how did you all survive those temps last week

do people just forgo going outside?

Does everyone wear masks?

I guess one adapts/grows up with it, but it just seems like when it gets that cold your eyelids would freeze shut the second you walk outside?

[Blue_In_AK]

20. Oh, no, you don't stay inside,

although they did have to cancel quite a few of the national championship X-country ski races; I think they wouldn't let them ski if it was colder than -4. But my husband and I were outside for a couple of hours New Year's Eve and for the Statehood 50th celebration on the 3rd. You just layer up, snowpants, lined boots, something across your mouth and nose -- or else don't breathe very deeply, because it DOES hurt. Thick gloves with liners, a hoodie, longjohns. We all look like Michelin men.

Here are a few of the spectators to the New Year's Eve events in Town Square Park. :)

[rvablue]

24. Wow.. guess I'm just a weather wimp .. it was about 20 degrees here and I refused to go out for the

celebration here ....

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[dflprincess]

23. I recall the local news reporting one winter after we had a cold snap like this

and it suddenly soared into the 20s that that is when the hospitals start seeing a lot of frost bite cases. We know how to dress when it's this cold, but when it gets "warm" like 20, it feels so good that we get careless about hats and gloves. :shrug:

[cboy4]

14. I was 45-60 below in the Fairbanks area for almost a week?

I have Fairbanks input as one of my weather cities on my iPhone because I'm so fascinated by those off the chart temperatures. :wow:

[Blue_In_AK]

18. Yes, there was even an unofficial reading

out of Tok of -80. They said the gasoline up there was like "pudding," you could scoop it out with your hands.

[cboy4]

19. That is just staggering!! 80 below!?

It's like being on Mars.

[Blue_In_AK]

22. Yes, that's too cold for me even.

I'm good to about 30 below, but those Interior temperatures are just a little too frigid.

I'm hoping we're done with the super cold for a while. We're heading out to Nome for the end of the Iditarod in March, and sometimes it's kind of chilly out that way, too.

[cboy4]

28. Wow, the Iditarod! .. I'll be in my cargo shorts and flip flops

by March.

With the exception I'm in them today. :blush:

[eowyn_of_rohan]

65. You sent the below zero stuff down to Minnesota and Wisconsin

It's an even *0* degrees right now in Madtown WI, with the next 3 nights forecast to be -9, -15, and -19. Highs @ 5, -5, and 4.

We'll be burning a lot of wood. Not as bad as you had it though!

[XemaSab]

6. 77 degrees

Supposedly you can plant tomatoes when the snow is off Shasta Bally (a local mountain).

Two more days of this and the snow WILL be off Shasta Bally.

Usually the snow is not off Shasta Bally until May. :(

[AlCzervik]

7. it's seems too nice and we really need rain.

[cboy4]

11. Yea, but I had enough of all that fog

:argh:

Has all the snow melted in Tahoe yet?

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

17. it's in the 50's at LT right now. The fog, about a week before Christmas i was driving

my daughter to school at 7:00am and the fog was the thickest i've ever seen, i couldn't see the traffic light until i was about 15 feet away from it, i was expecting to hear werewolves baying.

[Gormy Cuss]

37. It really stinks that we need to think that way on such a beautiful day

but I'd really rather having downpours in the forecast for the week.

[AlCzervik]

47. i know, if rainy season ever gets here i'll be complaining too but we really need it.

[OnionPatch]

61. Yep. This weather is nice, but it scares me. We need rain.

nt

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

8. I feel like the fuchsia Blob is coming to get me.

Northern Michigan.

[tabatha]

9. I wish it were miserable and raining.

There are enough days the rest of the year to enjoy good days.

[4 t 4]

16. a nightmare from hell

snow piled up to my head and more coming with below zero temps. I want to move to the Florida Keys. Anyone got a job and a place to live for me and my two dogs ?

[jimshoes]

12. We're having some really lovely snow

in Cleveland and I hear it's going down into single digits tonight. I'm so psyched.

[Vincardog]

13. Windy and a high of 1 F here today.

[dflprincess]

21. 1 ABOVE?

Lucky you.

Though, the local weathermen are saying we might get to 30 - 35 (above) early next week. :bounce:

[Vincardog]

32. Minnesota is north of Iowa. Lucky you

[Critters2]

69. Pomeroy!

I used to live in Eagle Grove, and go on retreat at Manson (Twin Lakes). Howdy, former neighbor! :hi:

[busybl]

15. dark and raining in Wa State

[Graybeard]

25. Nice today in NYC...but

..predicting single digit temps later in week. Brrrrr.

[Neshanic]

26. Phoenix, 72 and sunny. Perfection.

[Cleita]

27. Too hot for me in gorgeous California, 80+ degrees. I can't get the gardening chores done

that I want to.

Don't hit me for hating hot weather.

[Raksha]

39. What are you talking about - today is PERFECT for gardening!

Don't hate me for not hating hot weather, okay? Although I don't consider 80 degrees "hot," just pleasantly warm.

[Cleita]

41. It's hot for me. I like weather between 60 and 70 degrees and so does my

garden. I have to water so much to keep my plant from wilting under the sun.

[Raksha]

45. Thanks for reminding me to go water my plants!

At least it's pleasant to be outside watering, which is more than I can say for a few days ago. When the Santa Ana first blew in it still felt cold, even though the air was warmer. I'm near the mountains in San Bernardino, so we REALLY get it here...you know, "stronger winds in and below the canyons." And that wind dries out potted plants faster than anything I know of, at any time of the year.

[Cleita]

50. I used to live in San Bernardino when I was in high school.

I can't believe I even tolerated temperatures like that. I never liked it then and today, I believe I would die of heat stroke if I had to do it all summer. Every now and then we get temps over a hundred here and we wilt, we really to.

[krabigirl]

51. Agree with you. I hate hot weather also, especially in January! (live in socal)

[Cleita]

52. Dupe.

[Cleita]

53. Global warming I guess. I live on the central coast and this is

the time of year we are supposed to have rain and much cooler temperatures. It's the reason I moved here cause I got tired of the perpetual sunshine and dry landscape and heat of So. Cal.

[taterguy]

29. Arizona Bay

It can't come too soon

[DrZeeLit]

30. About 20 degrees. Yesterday 20 and SUNNY! Today not so much sun.

And I thought we were expecting more snow, but so far, not.
I hear the overnight temperature is dropping way low and tomorrow should be a Zero-to-the-Bone day.

I'm a third generation native California girl who moved to Vermont in May, 2001.

And I LOVE VERMONT!!!!

Even though my entire family still resides in the home zone in southern California, I do NOT want to go back.

I am warm and toasty and happy with my slow-paced, no-traffic, no-pollution, total-civility-rules Vermont life.

It's like I told them when they worried about the move: "it's not like I'm standing on the corner all day in sub-zero weather, waving at cars."

And no... I don't even miss the beach. When I was a kid, I adored the beach and spent every moment of the summer in the waves, but 50 years later just getting a parking place ruined the very idea.

I know.... 20 degrees seems harsh, but... I really do love the time I get in the winter to recharge, renew, and assess my life.

[Fireweed247]

43. I can relate

I moved from California to Alaska and I love it. It just warmed up to 20 from 0-20 below so we are pretty happy. I missed having seasons in California. We went to the snow once a year but I always wanted to be snowed in. It didn't rain nearly enough. Now I feel like I can finally relax and have no desire to go back. I just think California and I become tense. I am almost positive we live in the most beautiful scenery in the world so where is there to go? It doesn't hurt that we live in the banana belt of Alaska though, I couldn't handle 80 below.

[tularetom]

31. 88 in Pismo Beach on CA's central coast

Course nobody has air conditioning. These kinds of temps are unheard of around here even in summer (especially in summer).

[jwirr]

33. -11 degrees below at 2:00 pm. Cloudy - no wind to mention. It is supposed

to be even colder the next 2-3 days. I have to get up at 7:00 am and get the car talked into starting so I can go babysit my great grand son. I just keep reminding myself that this means less bugs next year.



Edited to ask - What is the temp supposed to be in DC on Jan. 20th. I would hate to be standing out there all day in the cold.

[stopbush]

34. 90-degrees yesterday, mid-80s today in Laguna Niguel, CA.

Spent Sunday at Disneyland with the family. No crowds as many were home watching the NFL games. That was also a mid-80s day.

I do NOT miss the weather in Ohio and NY where I spent many years.

[kitty1]

35. You could freeze the ass off a brass monkey here in Winnipeg -40

[cboy4]

36. That's unbelievable. Minus 40

:scared:

[knixphan]

38. [L.A.] good enough to play basketball on my lunch break.

[DS1]

40. Still not on fire

amazingly

[OhioChick]

42. Blizzard like with wind chill warnings....

:(

[Fire1]

44. !Snow and -8 below!

[Romulox]

46. It would have to be sunny and 74 every day of the year to get me to even CONSIDER SoCal. nt

[Starbucks Anarchist]

48. 39 in NYC.

In a couple of days, it will be 10 degrees. :D

[emilyg]

49. Dropping down to 20's in Georgia.

[Mike 03]

54. Very nice here in the Arizona mountains--We had sun, clear skies, and

temperatures around 60 or so. My dog and I walked for hours and really soaked in that Vitamin D today.

[bigwillq]

55. Cloudy and cold.

And gonna get colder.

I live in CT.

[LeftyMom]

56. OH MY GOD I'M FREEZING MY ASS OFF!

Just kidding.

[cboy4]

57. We're never freezing!

Hope you're feeling better!

[LeftyMom]

60. Well there was that one week in 1989.

:scared:

Yeah, things are better today. Not fabulous, but better.

[cboy4]

63. How do you remember the year! But yea, that was

craziness. Water pipes breaking all over the place causing flooding.

Good to hear you're a little better at least. :)

[LeftyMom]

64. I remember how old I was.

Everything still sucks but I'm not nauseated any more, so there's that. The other shit's easier to deal with if I have pizza.

[proud patriot]

58. at just about 5pm PST it 68.7 degrees here

just a lovely day .. I may wear shorts tomorrow.

[cboy4]

62. Let's all wear shorts tomorrow.

I spent my day off in flip flops. :bounce:

[proud patriot]

71. today was much colder in the morning , I chickened out

:shrug:

[Lilith Velkor]

59. Mostly cloudy, 34. Flurries tonight.

[underseasurveyor]

66. Oh to have to endure these temps

in the lower to mid 80's for the rest of the week.
Where's my sunblock and my beach chair B-)

[lelgt60]

67. How's the smog? 47 and sunny in raleigh

[Retrograde]

68. No, it's not gorgeous in California

It's hot and dry, with no rain in sight. This is supposed to be the time when the aquifers recharge, and the snowpack accumulates, so we can have water in the other 3 seasons. 70 and no rain in sight is not good weather in the long run. I'd rather have the 50 degree weather, overcast skies and rain.

And it confuses my tender perennials into sprouting so they'll be killed when normal weather finally shows up.

[Control-Z]

70. Honestly, I was enjoying

the on/off rain and cooler weather. Nothing more beautiful than Saddleback covered with snow on a crystal clear, puffy cloud day, imo. But I'm not complaining. It was a beautiful day. :)

[Dukkha]

72. ass deep in snow in OH
