22 mph winds but it's SUNNY! Not a single cloud in the sky. The wind's cold but oh man, sun. I've been yearning for it since it snowed last week or something like that. I can't remember when, I just remember there was a lot of cloud cover. *rolls around in glee* Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
Just to mess with yira's head...
After three weeks of almost perpetual clear skies (can't really say "sun" since I rarely saw it), I come to Paris CdG, get out of the plane... It's overcast, 10° C, and the air is so moist you almost drown. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!! Oh, how I missed it.
Frankfurt was then another 5° colder, and rain. Perfectly shitty German Christmas weather.

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
Well, the weatherman did his usual excellent job, but forgot to let Mother Nature know the forecast. He called for +2 and light rain showers all day. Too bad he forgot that was a - sign on the sheet. We have 10 cms of snow falling, and we might get a White Christmas after all!

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
My place is none for little Yiras now, for we are having what I believe you'd call a "blizzard".
Love it:
Edit at half past one:
My best guess at snow thickness estimates at 12cm.

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
So, today it got as high as +4 (yes, plus four) Celcius; for this date in Winnipeg, this is highly unusual. The sun was out, as well, which only fed the illusion of spring.
Fortunately*, things went back to normal when huge flakes of snow started falling around 4 PM, finally stopping after a couple of hours. It is now -16 C and the sky is crystal-clear; streets and sidewalks now have a film of ice that will be there until April. Back to normal.
*bad fortunately

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
We had the weirdest weather the 24th this year, it was sunshine and no snow.

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
Still cloudy here, as it has been for the last week or so. That's not too bad, it means there is less darkness.
Also, there are snow flurrs (?) and a little wind. The snowdepth has reached 22cm.

A bit of snow here as well, but only just enough to cover the ice & make walking/driving even more dangerous than usual.

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
Well... so much for the snow... last night's precipitation amounted some 30-35cm, which means I had to go out and clear the driveway (?). That's some 10Mg shoveled.

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
Wtf.
It's 1am and it's 0°C outside. Weather channel says tomorrow it'll be 6°C. +6°C. WTF?
Seriously. Where is my -20°C? Where is my snooow?
The worst part is that on the way to my hometown and back we passed through 400 km of snow-filled towns...the snow stopped just before we got to each town.
=(. and it only snowed like twice, both times in early December. Last year we were snow-filled in November, and two years ago we had a snowstorm in early October. What is wrong with the weather this year? (not to mention the fact that it rained non-stop all summer)

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
(sorry for the double post but it is very fitting)
Two hours after posting this I went out to buy cigarettes and, to my surprise, there was snow everywhere!
It's still -1 outside, so pretty warm and all, but tomorrow is scheduled to be a much more normal -8
This is what the back garden was looking like this morning. <3

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
Snow would be an improvement around here. It's been chilly, and several days this week we've had a steady, cold drizzle that's miserable to be out in. Some sun would be nice, but at this point I could deal with freezing temps and snow better than more rain.
Yes, it is as bad as you think, and they are out to get you

Re: Isn't the weather just lovely?
I'm with Fen's FIRST post. It's like +5 °C here or more, and fr the next days, it's supposed to become even warmer (!) and there's pretty much non-stop rain over New Year.
