where we live ( very top of great lakes) we are no strangers to cold weather during the winter months, generally by now we have all our snow removal tools in full play. However this year was a slow start….with major mood swings for example:
Dec 24th 3 celsius or 37.4F and pouring rain……1 week later wake up to -37 celsius or a whopping -34.4 below zero……..still no snow but colder than a well digger’s arse…..
last night we got snow here in the desert – first time ever since I live here.
a total of 5 inches, I can remember that I was out in the city couple days ago with short pants, weather is just funny here
Yea the mild December was nice compared to last winter!!
I can’t agree more! It hit 60 here Christmas week! I’ve been working outside so far this winter so it’s been a blessing.
I could go for this all winter every winter
Yep last couple of days been cold. Only used snow blower a couple of times. Lot of rain, also lot of ice. Definitely not complaining.
Today was the first day in the teens here this winter. This time last year we had -30 degree farenhight windchills and about nine inches of snow on the ground. It hasn’t been too bad so far this year. We only had one light snowfall and that has been it. I’m not complaining at all.
It is cold up here in the Northeast!
“Winter is coming”
worst I’ve seen for lack of snow…..barely any snow this season so far…….
I went for a walk last night and my Wife and I and out dog Rufus got about a quarter mile from the house and turned around. 50 all week and 11 last night. To cold too quick. At least it’s not ice or snow but accuweather just said 6-10 Saturday night. Here comes the snow 🙁
Out here in riverside we don’t get snow we almost did wed but the news said this has been the coldest in about 6yrs we had to go out and buy all the kiddos beanies and gloves it’s been pretty cold out here in the lower 40’s so I can’t imagine how it is where all U guys are at.
40 degrees in March and April is shorts weather in Michigan!! I’m not complaining on the snow Comp56 had way too much of it last winter!!
mike you are lucky, we got hit by the snowstorm really bad
the week before Christmas I was outside with short pants @ 75 degrees or a bit more
now we had 25-30 degrees and about 6inches of snow during the night of the Dec 30
What the hell snow in Palm Springs?!?!
not directly in palm springs, but in yucca valley where I live….palm springs got some really really low temperatures too in the couple days
Been in the mid 20’s in NorCal at night,had to wrapup my waterpipes outside. highs around 40F are typical in winter.
ya it has calmed down now still no sign of snow but little milder today……but I don’t rule out snow we get it every year and last year was one of the worst for snow ………..we have a 20′ x 18′ deck and last year I think it was down to about 2’x3′ lol………

Hey Fazzman, where in California. My Dad and second brother were born in Redding and my third brother (I’m the oldest of 4) was born in Nevada City. When I was a kid I lived in Dunsmuir, Corning, Grass Valley and Marysville. My Dad back then was a Bank of America Bramch President after he got out of the military.
