chesilbeach Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 We had a tiny bit of snow overnight on Tuesday, but the hills around us still have a few inches. It's still cold though, and we've put the fire on this afternoon to keep us nice and toasty. Quote
Madeleine Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Cold and bright today, but back to wind and rain soon. Quote
chesilbeach Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 A very mixed day today. In the space of the 100 yards walk between the shop and the cafe, it started to rain, poured with rain, stopped raining, the sun started shining and then the wind nearly blew me off my feet! Very British weather! Quote
Madeleine Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Sounds like here! Not raining at the moment but got very windy again. Quote
Virginia Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Sunny and cold here. No rain in the forecast tho we could use some. Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 A mix of heavy rain showers then bright blue skies and sunshine, but not very warm Quote
Madeleine Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 just one brief shower, but was actually quite nice - did a nice forest walk with my walking group which was vey nice although muddy, and stopped off at the deer sanctuary and saw loads of stags, who looked at us for a while then carried on grazing.

chesilbeach Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Looks like the rain is just starting to settle in for the evening. I think the forecast is for it to last all evening and part way through the night, but it should be brighter tomorrow. Quote
chaliepud Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 A loud and stormy night here, high winds, rain and hail from Storm Eleanor, I dread to think what it was like further north and west! Quote
Madeleine Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Same here overnight, got woken up by the wind around 3.00. Still very windy when I left. Quote
Talisman Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Very windy here as well, and warm for the time of year (it feels close to double digits) but I don't mind. I like this sort of weather, I find it invigorating. Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Storm force winds and heavy rain overnight and this morning, but all calming down now. Quote
Athena Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 It was extremely stormy here yesterday, with some rain and hail. It should be a bit quieter weather today. Quote
Madeleine Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Rained most of the night and this morning, milder but meant to get much colder at the weekend. Quote
Virginia Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 We've got snow on the beaches in the SOUTH. That should tell you something! Quote
Madeleine Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Oh wow......! I did see something on the news about a deep freeze in one of the Dakotas and remember thinking that sounded a bit unusual. Quote
Talisman Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 That is a bit extreme that far south! They reckon we are in a for another freeze here next week as well, although it won't be nearly as bad as what you have. The forecast for the southeast where I live is about 3 degrees or so, which isn't actually that cold. Reykjavik last week (this time last week I was sitting on the bus going back to the airport) was minus 4. Now that was cold - especially with the wind chill. I know its a lot worse in some places though - Calgary in Canada reached minus 30 last week! Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Quite windy today, and quite cold too. Quote
Virginia Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 5 hours ago, Madeleine said: Oh wow......! I did see something on the news about a deep freeze in one of the Dakotas and remember thinking that sounded a bit unusual. South Dakota and North Dakota are notoriously frigid during the winter. The South, on the other hand, such as in South Carolina, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, etc. don't see this kind of cold. The mere fact that it snowed in Tallahassee Florida is disturbing. Where I'm from, we don't see snow except every blue moon and then its only flurries for a few hours and it disappears. We now have ice and up to 5 inches of snow. The last time it snowed like this, my dh was about 10. He's 57 now! People were building snowmen and making angles, lol! Then there's the snow on the beach. THAT is freaking amazing!!! I don't know if you've heard of Hilton Head Beach, but if you had, you'd know its just not "done." They got snow yesterday and several beaches are covered. Quote
Madeleine Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 I must admit I did giggle when I saw a pic of the snow in Florida - it was barely a sprinkling, but I guess still very unusual. Quote
Litwitlou Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 9° F and we have.... Very cold wind chills expected. The cold wind chills willcause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed skin.Expect wind chills to range from 15 to 20 below zero at times. My poor dog isn't happy about going out. Quote
Nollaig Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Very bright and sunny here today, as well as chilly (5 degrees C, about perfect!). Love this weather! Quote
