diedan Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think we all need a place to ask the silliest question known to casual conversation: the weather. All of us coming from different places, I'm sure we've got quite the eclectic experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diedan Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Take my last two days for example: I live in MN, and from Friday to Saturday, we received 18 inches of snow, insane winds that produced 2 and half foot drifts. It was a good 10 F. I shoveled for 3 hours yesterday, couldn't get my car off the road, then discovered my heat went out. Got that fixed after a hefty fee, but my car was still stuck. Fortunately, the temperature had dropped to nearly 0 F this morning so that all the snow hardened and was able to move my car before the plows inevitably arrived and the city towed my car. Success! And now that the drama is all done, and the sun is out, from sitting inside, it's all nice and cozy and beautiful outside. How's the weather in your area? Sunny and warm? I'm jealous...

Chronixal Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 It's better than it has been for a few weeks in that it's merely cold and not freezing with Arctic winds, snows and ice. I suppose us in the South West fared better than the likes of the Midlands or London but it was still a royal pain in the arse. From what I can tell though, this reprieve is going to be brief.

AcidCrownie Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Currently 52*F and Mostly Cloudy/Rainy. High for today is 56 while the low is 26. Yeah. In the space of 24 hours, the temperature will have changed 30 degrees (if not more). That's what the weather is like in NE FL. But, it's trending warmer, so we should be in the 80's by Christmas.

AusKossy Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Most of the snow has melted, now its just ice. Thats MUCH more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geck0_k Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Snow everywhere. Kinda sucks because people are either too lazy to shovel their walks, or fear of being sued if anyone slips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 This was the weather last week. It's not snowed much since and it's now started meting. Which means nearly everywhere not on the main highstreet (cos they had that cleared out) is now a thin/thick fillm of slippery as hell ice. The weather is warming up though. Just a pain to go out when it takes 10 minutes of treacherous shuffling to get down our street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 It is currently 22 F with 20-40 mph winds... so pretty cold breezy, but not just absolutely horribly freezing and windy (I mean, it's literally freezing, but...).

deanb Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yeah, everyone seems to think it's Awesome Park Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 That's because it should be Awesome Park Road. Here's a picture I took this morning. Posting it so as to not be shown up by Dean... Oh wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidCrownie Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 You people and your snow. I like my precipitation liquid, thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronixal Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 At least when it falls as snow, it's manageable. When it falls as rain in temperatures as cold as this, it hits the road surface and instantly turns to black ice. Not fun to get caught in that at high speed.

Nothing ever freezes here in Florida, though. Even if were to rain in sub-freezing temperatures. Note: This does not apply to vehicles for some reason... For some.. ungodly reason.

Mal Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Cool, foggy and damp. Typical Bay Area weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudkip3DS Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Only if you're in San Francisco or Oakland, maybe. I'd say the weather here is quite... Mostly Cloudy, 61°F. Being right next to the East Bay shore (aka marshlands) is really nice, actually. You get lots of cool winds from the Bay, yet hardly any fog.

c hoertjes Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Cold, wind of 25 mph, gusts of 50, wind chill about 5 degrees, snowing. Not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Currently, a lot of sun with an average of 60 F though in the might it may be of 23 F and tomorrow it may be of 73 F, overall, this season is filled with sunny days here, though it may change drastically, this is one of the few cities (if not the only) I know that may go from winter to summer back to winter then spring then winter then summer in a single day ... And yes, that has happened a bunch of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronixal Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 That's pretty intense. At least here we just fluctuate between cold and less cold. Although we did have a particularly hot summer, which was a bitch as I can't stand the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 It's starting to get a bit worse out there. A multi car crash on the interstate with cars on fire and shit. Of course, I have no idea why people are driving in these conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronixal Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Ah, people never listen to general warnings. I get that people need to get to work and medical emergencies and whatnot but it's that they don't even slow down for the conditions. Someone drove past me at full-tilt the other day whilst it was actively snowing. Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLjaG Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I live with old people who refuse to turn the heater on even though it's freezing in the house. Currently posting on the forums while wearing 2 jackets. GG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
