Where is winter?

[b5blue]

  Man it is still hot down here in Florida! Hot and muggy today with no end in sight. I heard it could still be in the mid 70's for N.Y. this Christmas? Is anybody getting the cool weather?
  I normally work on the Charger this time of year for the cooler temps but may end up sweating anyway this winter!  At least it's in the lower 80's even if damp still. Enjoy any cooler weather you may get! 

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Supposed to be 70 in Taxachusetts tomorrow & above normal temps right through New year.

47 degrees with wind chill here in the Bay Area (Northern California). Plenty cold for the Mrs. Me, I'd love it a bit colder.... Winter is coming.

You're complaining in Florida!!!!     12 C here today...  54F. Should have been ice fishing already in the past week or so and it should be -15 C or so. Saw 5 motorcycles while out Christmas shopping today. 

[XH29N0G]

My friend's dog is covered in ticks.... They should be long gone.  We are 70's and should be at Freezing.

[stripedelete]

Who cares?

[bull]

We got it in the northwest this year. Record-breaking rainfall at sea level and gobs of snow in the mountains. The temperatures are pretty average.

The northeast got its a$$ handed to it the last two winters, you'd think they'd be happy for the break with a La Niña winter.

Having traveled to the Bahamas, Alaska, N.Y., all over the southeast and lived in Texas, Mississippi and Virgina I'll never complain about Florida itself, it's my home state. 35-40 years of construction work, mostly here I'm just tired of sweating! By now it's normally like having A/C running outside! (68-72 and low humidity) I've bunches of projects for outside not just the car and when done I can finally start taking vacations where I actually vacation instead of using time off from work, to work on personal things that need to be done. (I'm so close to that target!)

[69wannabe]

I don't mind the mild temp's here in georgia if it would just quit raining!!!!  Been raining for 5 days and looks like it's gonna rain for 5 more day's after today!!!

[XH29N0G]

Lots of rain too

[Mopar Nut]

We have plenty of snow here with temp. in the low 30's to the mid 20's in Northern Utah.

[adauto]

Personally I'm luv'n the warm temps, bit it has KILLED business this month..... 

[polywideblock]

so how long until this turns into a "when will this %$##@snow end " thread             

[440]

I'm waiting on winter too    enough of this heat already.

[b5blue]

86* here yesterday....

[el dub]

Its in central Calif. right now. 31*. past few days, rain. which we need
    We have more snow now in the Sierra's than we had all last year.

[rt green]

eastern south Dakota. got 9 inches of snow last nite. expecting 5 more on Monday. have to bust out the snow blower today. well, it beats being at work anyways.

[303 Mopar]

Denver had a white Christmas.  Snowed about an 1" yesterday.

[Dodge Don]

Just outside Toronto Canada....so nice I had the Charger out for a cruise Christmas Eve. No snow. Warm & sunny.....could not pass up the opportunity.

[el dub]

I heard a while back it was supposed to be an El Nino year. Anyone else hear that?

[XH29N0G]

I heard a while back it was supposed to be an El Nino year. Anyone else hear that?

Yes it is.  For my area this can mean very warm or very snowy.  So far it means very warm.  From what I read, this is a doozy of one.  Basically, it  rearranges weather patterns in other areas.  I will take out the car if the rain stops.  It is plenty warm, but too wet, with flooding warnings.

[stripedelete]

I heard of El Ninio for the first time in 1998.  I didn't wear much more than a sweater that whole winter.
This winter feels the same.

[polywideblock]

do you think there might be something to this "global warming " their all talking about   

[XH29N0G]

There is something to global warming and climate change, but making a connection between today's warmth, el nino, and climate change though is probably not an argument to be made without a larger probabilistic argument that ties it with other phenomena and data.   I do not know the probability associated with such a connection. 

Since the climate is such a complex system, the arguments are made in terms of probability, even if the underlying physics and chemistry is well constrained.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Uh oh, I spoke too soon. Our first chance of snow is coming in on Tuesday.

[NHCharger]

The northeast got its a$$ handed to it the last two winters, you'd think they'd be happy for the break with a La Niña winter.

Yup. Last winter we went 6 weeks without getting above freezing. Many homes suffered ice dam damage. Even homes with metal roofs had issues which I can never remember happening. Had the 68 out for a spin today. Forecast calling for 6-8 inches of snow and ice on Tuesday so "Fun Time" is over.
The weather runs in cycles, it always seems to average out.

funny , that year the Sydney to Hobart yacht race was smashed by a huge east coast low       this year  the race started yesterday and 14 yachts out already  including two of the "maxi yachts " and the race leader pushing on with a broken rudder    

[ws23rt]

You folks in the east need not panic.  We in the west have used the jet stream long enough to put snow where it belongs.---In the mountains for next summer.--- Winter is on it's way east so you can have your share and all will be well soon.

[Charger_Fan]

so how long until this turns into a "when will this %$##@snow end " thread             

I'm already tired of winter, so I'll start...

[b5blue]

NEWS FLASH! I got to wear my jacket 2 days in a row!!!    An arctic blast pushed temps to an astounding 65 degrees. Florida is struggling to recover.

[BLK 68 R/T]

65 is the temp inside my house 

[hemigeno]

I'm already tired of winter, so I'll start...

Grant!  Great to see you buddy!

[b5blue]

First time I looked at your picture, I missed the 'T' and thought it was a creatively spelled message to those who don't like snow.

[Charger_Fan]

I'm already tired of winter, so I'll start...

Grant!  Great to see you buddy!

Thanks Gene. I have been gone a while...longer than I thought!

[skip68]

Coming from the dessert we're loving this white stuff.   

[JB400]

I get the pleasure of putting brake pads on the front of a Pacifica, Mon for the neighbor, outside of course.  Predicted temp: below freezing.  I told them they needed pads back in August.

[polywideblock]

its not winter but , we just had our wettest Jan day on record       250 mm (10 inches )  in 24 hours      it hasn't stoped since Mon   

  all the places that were flooded back in July are under water again,  including here     at least there was no wind this time

[b5blue]

WOW! I hope your okay!

[tcs69rt]

Come to Colorado and I will show you some snow at 8500', where I live! 

[73rallye440magnum]

-24F here in northern Wi this morning. Is it March yet?

[birdsandbees]

A week or so ago before I started tear down. Got a good foot of snow last night. Can't wait for Friday night when I'll be sitting at a beach bar in Curacao !! 

[beedees]

Any other dumb questions?

[polywideblock]

so it finally arrived did it        perhaps it will chase summer over here now(yes its raining again )     easily the wettest Jan on  local record  

[b5blue]

It's about 75 and sunny today...gonna rain later. 

[69wannabe]

Winter been here for a couple of weeks now in north Ga. Not horrible but some really cold morning's here in the teen's and 20's and high's in the 40's. This isn't bad as some of the post on here but it's cold enough for me to stay bundled up when I step outside. I'm not a fan of this time of the year so I am ready for springtime already!! 

[XH29N0G]

The 'make winter great again storm' arrived

[Bob]

We are getting slammed here in south central PA  with a blowing blizzard. 26 inches so far. Can't wait to snow bird in Myrtle beach.

[b5blue]

My son is getting his first real deal winter in Philly just about now! I'm happy here, we finally got some temps in the 50's! (I'll take what I can get!) 

[polywideblock]

just watched the world news , seems  to have arrived
