chaliepud Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Yes, great pics Athena, we have yet to see snow in Southern England, the kids are desperate for it, I'm not particularly keen but I'd like for Jojo to see some as we didn't get any last year when she was a puppy. It's a bit warmer here today, up to 8/9 degrees apparently which is much better as I won't need gloves for dog training, they are such a hindrance! Quote
Virginia Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 I love those pics! No snow on my end but the northern states are expecting a blizzard of apocalyptic proportions. Quote
AbielleRose Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Yesterday it snowed and the past few days we've had pretty cold temperatures. Some of the snow melted yesterday afternoon, some of it is still there today. Temperatures are below freezing temperature (0 C) because the snow is not melting. It does however give some very pretty pictures (taken yesterday): 10940580_650830948355255_4493666295978712200_n.jpg 10428077_650831091688574_4466960954059138741_n.jpg 1904204_650830995021917_4873980211293639990_n.jpg The weatherpeople predict it will be slightly above 0 C tomorrow, and expect more rain and wind later this week. Those pics are so gorgeous!! It was nice here in Fargo today. Got up to 43 and was sunny most of the day. It looks like spring outside. Quote
Peacefield Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 It was nice here in Fargo today. Got up to 43 and was sunny most of the day. It looks like spring outside. Don't fall for Mother Nature's tricks, Abby! She's a mean one, since it's still January and -0 temps are lurking around the corner. At least the first day of actual spring is less than 2 months away now! It was warm here today too... Low 40's. Quote
Anna Begins Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I am in Los Angeles, near Hollywood in Southern California, and it was 80F/ 27C yesterday and the day before Today, it rained... and was 70F/ 21C... chilly! Quote
pontalba Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Cold and clear here for the next several days.......and NO freezing coming for a week at least!! Hurrah! Quote
Athena Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks everyone, for your comments on my photos . The snow has almost completely melted now, and it's a few degrees above freezing temperature (5-6 C I estimate). Later this week though it will probably snow again. Quote
Talisman Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 It started snowing here about 10 minutes ago and is coming down thick and fast. Quote
AbielleRose Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Its been fairly warm all week but tonight its going to start getting colder and more winter-like again. Groundhog's Day is Monday, let's hope Phil gives us an early spring! Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I left work and it was dry … within two steps of being out of the building, it started to hail, by the time I got to the car (within 30 seconds) it has started to snow, and as I reversed out of my space, the car park was white as the snow had covered it. I started to drive home, and I got to the motorway ten minutes later (it's about four or five miles from work) and it was blue skies and bright sunshine in front of me and big grey snow clouds behind! Quote
Kylie Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Wow, strange weather, Chesil! Abby, I've been meaning to re-watch Groundhog Day for a while now. Maybe I should try to watch it tomorrow then! I'm so jealous of everyone's snow. We've been a lovely, mild summer here for the past couple of weeks. We had plenty of rain last week, and there were a few rumbles of thunder before, but very little rain. I'm enjoying the overcast skies and cool temperatures while they last. Quote
bobblybear Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Very icy on our roads today. Saw a prang on our street, and later on the gritter came along to sort it out. Quote
dtrpath27 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Gloomy, just like my mood. I'm headed over to a friend's house to pout and have coffee, so hopefully that will turn things around. Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Cold. Its only a high of 3 f today here. Bring back some warmth, please! Quote
Athena Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Abby, I've been meaning to re-watch Groundhog Day for a while now. Maybe I should try to watch it tomorrow then! Slightly off topic, but I really like this film . We're having more snow today, it snowed during the night and it's snowing a bit now. There is a layer of snow on most places on the ground, though it's not that thick, yet at least. Quote

You know, I've never actually seen the film! Phil saw his shadow so we have another 6 weeks of winter. Darn groundhog. I was hoping for an early spring! Quote
Kylie Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I saw on the news that the groundhog bit the mayor on the ear in Wisconsin. Mwahaha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhnUC4bQd8I&spfreload=10 Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 LOL, I saw that, too. That's why you should never waive a wild rodent around near your face. Quote
Kylie Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Haha, yes. The guy who was holding it had right in front of the mayor's ear! What else is a groundhog to do but bite it? Quote
frankie Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) It's like early spring in Joensuu. I think the winter in Espoo is like a 3-4 month long spring It has it's benefits! Kylie, I saw the same clip and wanted to post it to you but FB said I wasn't allowed for some reason Edit: As an answer to your question... Lick it? Edited February 3, 2015 by frankie Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Frankie, Espoo must be down south? Its snowing here. Cat is amused by watching it fall. Quote
chesilbeach Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Dry but chilly. Was surprised that this morning it was only 1ºC when I left for work, but car was clear with no frost or ice on it. I hate getting outside and realising I have to scrape the ice off the car. Quote
frankie Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Frankie, Espoo must be down south? It's pretty much as south as you can get in Finland A very different climate from what I'm used to! I'm wearing my autumn jacket throughout the winter :D Abby, has Winny been outside to meet the snow yet? Edited February 3, 2015 by frankie Quote
Nollaig Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 It has been wonderfully cold in Ireland for the past couple of weeks. It has snowed a couple of times at night, doesn't settle though. Absolutely loving it - every time I start to get agitated about being too cold, I just recall how last summer even the shower water on fully-cold was lukewarm and I had no way to cool down whatsoever. Long may this cold last! Quote
bobblybear Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Cold, but the sun is out....sometimes. Quote
