Heck we are now feeling the cold in Sunny Southern California. In my area, the Greater Los Angeles area, we have been seeing temperatures hitting the mid to high 30's at night and the low 60's during the day. On Tuesday it was 37 degrees at 0530 hours! It has been a while since we have seen temperatures that low in my area! We actually received a little rain to boot!

denver; last Sunday was day time high temp of 70F. and yes there was a 60F change in temperature. following Monday and the rest of this week has been typical winter temperatures. harsh when last Sunday was so nice .

if its is extremely cold outside and you have a wood stove going you might consider run the furnace in fan mode only for an hour or so. No heat just the fan circulating the air about the house.

I'm sure it's here someplace right under this fresh three inches of snow.

btw that's all we were promised so,,,, where is the OFF button?!

At least two days in the high 60s had melted some of the glaciers at the ends of driveways before this snowmaking gig stumbled back in here for another go.

The snow is gone here. We had three days of 60's and rain and all that's left is piles.

Hmm. Seems misplaced for where you hang out. Welcome to the "huh?" club.

Nationwide it would seem the weather's been acting like an old TV, needs a whack alongside the edge of the box to straighten out the picture...

Ha, isn't that the truth! On the bright side we are warming up again, we should be in the mid 60's today and throughout the weekend. Not like it was a few weeks back where we were in the 90's! But it is better than the low 60's high 50's we have been experiencing over the past week or so.

Normal for this time of year for our area. It goes up to 40-45 when you drive into town. This last week has been the only real winter weather we've had this year. Cold, windy and very low moisture. The lowest I've ever seen it go has been 32 several years back. It's a welcome change from the mid to high 80s we had several weeks ago, and the warm November and December.

What really hit me was the sudden change, yet again. And as someone who's a habitual hand-washer during this time of year, the low moisture is absolutely destroying my hands. Hand cream has been in use to prevent drying out and cracking of skin.

This part of the state is rather unique in how weather patterns affect us. Admittedly, I chuckled at Bougie's post because that weather at night is pretty normal for the Bay Area or anywhere that's affected by off shore flows that much.

Rain...

Don't float away, Rhett. I'd rather have the damp, mild temperature weather right now than the ice cold windy weather of the last few weeks. Just a few more weeks of this nonsense and we can get right onto spring, and then summer a week after that.

Just a reminder, but if you've got a central system, make sure to set it to turn the heat on at a certain point... Especially before you go to bed and then wake up wondering why your sinuses are stuffy and the house being rather cool.

Looking good here. Another day > freezing. Woot woot.

Weather gods have revved up snowmaking equipment again, for most of NY State for Thurs night and Friday all day. The models don't all agree yet so the estimates on accumulation vary widely even in a given region, e.g., here 4 to 18 inches.

Hard to believe any of it at the moment: it's in the mid-50s.

We are almost to the point of the year where I laugh at falling snow because it will be gone in a day or two. (We can get snow through April so I have to tough it out for five more weeks before I can start my full on scoffing.)

Chaos here in Scotland from the 'Beast from the East' (a cold weather system blowing in from the East across the North Sea, which is unusual). Alas, no thunder-snow ... yet. Apparently we're colder than the North Pole ATM.

I love Scotland but bring on Spring!
