It's rainy and gross, but at least it's warm.
It's been actually pleasant today, for a change. So very tired of cold and snow.
Cloudy and cold. it seems to have been cloudy and cold for the past two months. Yet the birds were singing in the trees today - it was a veritable symphony of tweeting. Yes, Spring is around the corner.
Freezing, -33. Could be worse though, it's supposed to get to -47 this week which is insane. That's arctic circle temperatures.
It was actually somewhat nice. You know it's bad when you think 40 degrees Fahrenheit is warm...I'm so ready for spring. I just checked the weather, and it says snow showers on Sunday :(
Goodness, snow is so depressing.
What a blessing is the Gulf stream, or else we'd be in the same boat. We're on the same latitude as part of Canada, but get much milder weather.Quote:

Seriously, I can't believe we haven't got a weather thread. What do you talk about when you have nothing else better to say?
It has been unseasonably warm in Montreal lately, still floating above 0 most days.
The wind has not been kind this fall. I live on a tree-loaded street, and when there's a heavy wind blowing mostly south to north (especially with a lean toward east), most of the leaves end up by me. I've now filled 20 bags this season thanks to a few especially windy periods, and the last couple of days have left another load waiting for me to buy more bags. Only plus: Sandy's winds blew north to south, so the folks down the block got those.
Been raining all week here, but it always does. Damp and cold and no heating anywhere. Most people live their daily lives wearing jackets everywhere, including in their own homes. I am not yet accustomed to this.
It's horrible, I mean how much rain is there up there?
In the South East of England we have had masses of rain and recently some terrific winds but we are relatively fortunate weather wise compared to other parts of the country where flooding has been a major preoccupation this year. Temperature wise it's not too bad at the moment but the population, including myself, has switched to wearing black which is traditionally associated with Winter and seems to automatically happen round about mid November. It never occurred to me before but I wonder if other parts of the UK also wear dark clothing during the wintertime.
Unfortunately, it's dry and wonderful here, point being, we recently went through a drought that is one for the history books (summer of 2011) and so far the only significant amount of rain we received was this past spring. Typically October and November are wet months for us, but not this year.
I worry about the trees even though they are tolerant native species, I am seeing the signs of stress.
Maybe December will prove to be a wetter month.
It’s cold and a fine drizzly evening here.
We're two days away from summer but had a freak storm come through yesterday. Winds were in excess of 125km. Trees, roofs and fences came down and approx 50,000 people are without power. Amazing Mother Nature. This morning, she's still blowing a gale and lashing rain like it was the middle of winter. While the rest of the country is jumping into their swimming pools, I'm digging out my winter woolies! Freaky.
