how's the weather where you are you spags?
hate florida all you like. hell, Ill even agree with you on most points.
but damn if the weather isn't nice.
I think it's about 45, with a magnificent wind that is whistling through the trees. I am wearing my scarf and baby-soft cashmere sweater. :)
It's 60* outside. Flipflops-and-jacket weather in central California.
Mr. Language wants to take me skiing this winter. I hate snow, but promised to try it for him. He loves it.
the only problem is it drops to the low 50's at night, then shoots back up in the 70's during the day. 20 degree change every 12 hours really fucks with the nose.
Nigel, aren't you in Oregon?
Have a friend who just moved to Portland. I give him 3 months before he's wearing skinny jeans and size SM band shirts.

I've seen snow ONCE in the flesh.. 1989 here, 1 1/2" of snow. shut down the entire city and bridges.
I made a 1' tall snowman.. I had to use a lot of dirt.
always been a fan of water skiing.. snow just seems dangerous to me.
I am in Portland! It doesn't snow here as much as some kind of white treachery falls from the sky and tries to kill you in unexpected ways. It sometimes takes new arrivals, especially people from places with snow, 3 or 4 years of scoffing at how everyone panics and rushes home at the first sign of the evil, but that's just because they don't know yet. They haven't seen. You never know what it's going to do, and after they've experienced how it turns on you, they too fear the white badness.
There is snow in other places near here, like Mt. Hood.
I am a total pussy when it comes to snow or coldness. It turns me into a huddling, whiny crybaby.

if it's below 50, I call in. but then, I drive a jeep wrangler soooo
the rain makes people stupid drivers here. which is strange, because it rains here all of the time. since florida is where new englanders go to die, I blame them for it.
If it started to snow here every winter I'd be forced to move to Tampa or worse.. orlando :vom:
Rain makes people into stupid drivers here, too, but only if it hasn't been raining for a few weeks. Then the first few times, it's like they've forgotten everything they know about rain and all hell breaks loose.
Oregon drivers are really special. Also, only small schoolchildren own umbrellas, and everyone just walks around looking confused and affronted at the water falling from the sky. "Why am I getting wet?" their moist little faces ask, beseechingly.
It is like that roughly nine months out of the year, and then when the sun comes out everyone's all "ZOMG YAY I LOVE OREGON!!!"
:lulz: Do some of them stare up at the sky with their mouths open like turkeys?
It is 55 outside, and sopping wet from the mysterious rain that falls in Georgia, without sound or fanfare. The only other type of precipitation I have observed here is howling torrential downpour.
Dark, damp, chilly <-- my favorite weather but my body is really starting to hate it. Fucking arthritis.
40 F and drizzling here. Fucking South Carolina "winters".

Washington is just like this. Interestingly Ridgecrest, which is in the middle of a desert, doesn't have people turn retarded when it does rain.
Minus something (celsius, bitches) - Snow just started to melt earlier today.

I have this theory that completely blocking out the rain's existence is part of the coping mechanism for living here.
It is currently 68 in E Orlando.
37% humidity.
Perfect.
It's 45 and sunny in Ft Lewis.
It spent all day snowing with ridiculous winds, now at midnight it sounds like it's raining, which just means more slush.
I love responding, when people ask me why I moved to Belgium, "for the weather".
snowwwwwwwwwwww

It's 45 and sucky in Ft Lewis.
Fixed for proximity to Lakewood.
Outside is cold and muddy with snow on the ground.
Inside is also muddy, although with beer and dirt instead of dirt and snowmelt.
Here it is a about 35
Celsius. I guess that is around 95 Fuckenheits. It will get to at least 110 before the summer is out.
It's Maine and December so it's cold outside. No snow yet, but that is just a matter of time.
3 degrees Celsius, blue sky white clouds, dry, beautiful day actually. Snow is melting somewhat but we didn't have that much snow. Good chance to go for a run later this afternoon.
40 degrees here with 20 knot winds. Winds outside the river in the open Atlantic are supposed to be 35+ knots, which means that the windchill will make it feel like it's just about 0 degrees on deck. The good news is, we're going out into 14-20 foot seas so when the salt spray freezes onto the deck crew it will insulate them.
It's 30 degrees and I have Windows open.
how do you have windows open? I thought you had a computer virus.
Safe mode. :(
I really wanna laugh at that
It's a whopping 18 here this morning! Yay! :|
31 and not a cloud in the sky. I'm okay with this. I get worried when it's cloudy and below freezing...but it's coming. Soon...Next week's forecast looks like Rhode Island's best winter mix.
La Nina winters suck. That means in January it's going to be a high of 10 with not a cloud in the sky, but the little snow that accumulated from showers here and there will freeze, and the state becomes an ice skating rink.
It's supposed to drop down to 31 here tonight.

...And I'm so glad I pay rent for my heat to NOT work.
I've told my landlord, and he said, "Well, the system is old and you're on the top floor. Most of the steam goes into the downstairs apartments first."

It's considered an operational system, and I'm cranking the one in the bathroom. I have the valve on the main heater almost all the way open and it's not doing a thing...however, when I DON'T want it on, you bet that fucking hisses like a motherfucker.
If he were to "fix" this, he would have to replace the radiators with baseboard in 12 units, 2 of which are directly on my line. So not only would I freeze, so would they. I fucking hate steam radiators, even when I was staying with the Z's their system was flawed to hell as well. I swear it only came on at 4am so by the time I woke up, my room was sweating.

I dunno, man, sounds like barely livable conditions. Hope the rent's CHEEEAP. Not that that makes up for freezing.
I have 2 extra space heaters that work remarkably well for their size if you wanna take one back with you.

My fridge is bigger than my shower.
Space heater time. If it's not liveable, he can't bitch when you run one and jack up the electric bill.
But as a personal favor, don't get one of those that spontaneously burst into flame.
It's about 22C here. The river hasn't flooded yet, but if we get the rain that's expected tonight some of the suburbs on the over side of the river may be underwater. :|

It's cold enough in here...now it's getting to sauna range. Oh well...it's about to s-word, let it get hot as sin in here.
Also, they haven't predicted hardly any snow for RI, yet everywhere around us is apparently getting pummeled. This could mean one of two things...Aput once again, has chosen RI to be the sacred ground...Or we shouldn't plan to go anywhere for the next couple of days.

All he really has to do is install those little electric wall heaters. They're really cheap and they work.
great fucking scott it's 30 F outside and they're saying we might get snow this year for the first time since 89.
every time I go outside and I think of that night court episode when Harry got that gavel warmer for christmas, but found a better use for it, and wished I had one.
would be awkward asking my grandmother to crochet me a gavel warmer though.. she knows I'm not a judge.
The rain has tempered the weather, and it's going to stay in the 40s tonight. Still jacket weather, but I'm not freezing, and that means I don't have to dig around in the garage for another tarp for my lemon tree. The one I've been using has had it.
so much snow night class canceled NO SPANISH TEST YEEAAAAAAAAAH

I remember when it showed in 89...I brought it up in one of my classes and all the kids looked at me funny....they weren't born yet. :(
It's 31 here, windchill of 18. EIGHTEEN.
Remarkably, my heat still isn't working. It popped on, and then obviously turned off while I was at class. WTF?! My bathroom, however, is sauna-like. This is very not fun.
IT'S ON!
5 MINUTES LATER IT'S OFF AGAIN!
NOW IT'S ON AGAIN AND I SMELL DUST/LINT BURNING!

My neighbors were having a Christmas party, I was 8. One of the other neighborhood kids came in and went, "IT'S SNOWING!" We all ran outside and I was disappointed, having remembered snow from New York. Lol. It stuck on the cars and nothing else.
Also, it's 26F right now, feels like 17F. It's not getting above freezing all day...but still, not a cloud in the sky. I don't think we even got those flurries last night.
And according my my cousin, it's the same temps in southern Alabama. :|

That sounds like a typical British winter.
Although, this year, it has actually been quite nice. Lots of snow, compared to usual, and pretty frosty most of the time. We might even have a white Christmas this year, unlike every other year, where the press hype the unreasonably low chances of a white Christmas, setting up inevitable disappointment.

Your erroneous notions of superiority matter not to me. I abandoned Maine.
On a related note, it's 40 and sunny here. Not at all unpleasant.
On the other hand, we're leaving the dock in 4 hours and in 7 hours we'll be in the open atlantic in 16-20 foot seas and 35 knot winds. So I'd happily knock 20 degrees off the temperature in exchange for knocking 6 or 8 feet off of the wave heights.
Rhode Island is the anomaly of the New England states. Our climate is different thanks to the way the Gulf Stream effects Narragansett Bay, but once you get out of the state and north of I-495, you're in for a mess. Which is why Worcester, MA, which is only 45 minutes away, can have nasty destructive ice storms and we won't get a drop of precipitation.

That doesn't sound too swell.
You're a heel for making that pun.
Hopefully he got a stern warning before he takes the seas by storm.
