RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 01-25-2026
The temperature here hasn't been above 0°F (-18°C) since last Friday. we've had a frostbite warning all day.
But it's finally warming up enough that it can snow...

In England it's been solid rain for a month.

Here, it's been raining since last year.

<huff> 16 inches easily (that's 41 cm for you anti-Imperialists out there) now that the blizzard that just hit the Northeast US has ended. Thank gods I took advantage of an idea my brother-in-law mentioned, and parked our car at the street end of the driveway instead of the house end; that meant I only had to dig a path to the car and then the next eight feet or so to the street instead of digging out the entire freaking driveway. As a result it only took me two hours over my lunch to dig us out instead of three or more.
Also, it would appear someone complained about the half-assed job of plowing we got after the last snowstorm (barely one line wide, with six feet of snow out from the curbs on either side). This time we got a pickup with a plow do the first pass, and then the huge dumptruck with the monster plow made four or five passes, perfectly clearing out the entire width of the street. And just incidentally building a great defensive wall to protect the end of the driveway from invading Huns. Too bad we have no Huns but had a need to leave the house eventually.

Man, sounds like that woud have made a great Calvinball field, assuming aa gathering of people energetic enough for a game.
I don't think I mentioned being in the hospital (i got burns on my lower legs) but was dischartged in time to get beack before the snow started, so yay? Though apparently it's only a break in the storm and more expected here in the Boston area starting anytime now up until 8pm, so our own positions are still being firtified in case any Huns are feerling sneaky after skipping over you away down south in Joizey

Man, I'm getting tired of all of the heat. Record high temperatures today across Southern California, including here. Remember back when winter used to be cold?
I think I'm going to head off to the beach now to cool down.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - classicdrogn - 02-27-2026
I'll take ten or twenty degrees (Freedom) off your hands if you like. It's been pretty bloody cold in the northeast this year, to go with getting significant snow for the first time in about twenty years.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 02-27-2026
Just double-checked the forecast here for tomorrow.
The expected high is 0°C.
The expected low is 0°F.
How am I supposed to dress for that?
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - classicdrogn - 02-27-2026
Warmly, I hope. Having no temperature is no time to dress like the Emperor either way.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - Bob Schroeck - 02-28-2026
A week after we got a foot and a half, followed by another two inches two days later, it's about 75% melted away thanks to several bright sunny days in the upper 40s F. And today is supposed to reach the high 50s. Not complaining, except for not having more winter days like that over the past month.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 03-10-2026
We have an orange alert for tomorrow. (Yellow means disruptions are possible, orange means disruptions are virtually guaranteed, red means life-threatening weather.)
Freezing rain, starting this evening, falling for up to 24 hours.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - Bob Schroeck - 03-10-2026
Meanwhile, here in NJ, the first lack of complaints we've had in a month or more -- it's been in the 70s F the last two days, and today it's supposed to hit the 80s. And it's brilliantly sunny with clear blue skies.

Well, they've closed the schools today. That's the first time that's happened in Ottawa all winter.
And the police are advising to avoid all non-essential travel. even the trains are affected.
Some folks are calling this an ice storm. (The 1998 ice storm crippled the city for days, and the 2023 did some lasting damage, too. The power lines are buried in my neighbourhood, but the high-capacity lines from the generating stations to the transformer yards aren't, so if I lose power, so does everyone else and we won't get it back for a while.)
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 03-11-2026
Looks like we dodged the worst of the ice... so far. (head less than 80km south and things are horrid. They're only bad here.)
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 03-12-2026
Well, I dodged the bullet, but a lot of others didn't.
Hundreds of thousands without power, more school closures in Quebec following storm

Ugh, so hot. Why are there 90°s at the beaches? We're still technically in winter, but it seems like we didn't have winter at all this year. March comes in like a lion, out like a salamander, or so they say.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - Norgarth - 03-18-2026
Here in Windsor (Ont), Tuesday's "high" was -3C (26.6F), Saturday is predicted to have a high of 17C (62.6F)
what the hell, Mother Nature?
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - Bob Schroeck - 03-18-2026
Here in NJ, I'm absolutely sure Mother Nature is standing next to the thermostat and is flipping it between "Heat" and "Cold" on a daily basis.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - classicdrogn - 03-18-2026
But don't worry, climate change isn't real! It's just some nonsnse the science hippies dreamed up while they were high on magnets or something in order to swindle more grant money!
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 03-20-2026
Well, March 20 is still technically winter... We're forecast to get 2"-4" of snow today. Annoying when I have no choice but to go out.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - classicdrogn - 03-20-2026
1997 or -8 we got a solid 8" overnight on the morning of April 1 in the Boston area. Best prank ever, basically ended the holiday for me like whichever match company's 100th anniversary fireworks ended Independence Day displays because no one's equaling that any time soon, let alone beating it,and anything less is just meh
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - Bob Schroeck - 03-20-2026
Yeah, I can't remember exactly how many years ago it was, but it was sometime in the last ten or twelve years, that we got smacked with a blizzard in the last week of March. Took off the top of the hemlock by the garage which then ended up draped over the car in the driveway.

Plagues of animals are weather, right?
6th rattlesnake bite reported in Ventura County in less than a month
For comparison, we had nine rattler bites for the entirety of last year.
