Weather !!

QVCkitty1 — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 01:21:35 GMT

This afternoon it was 62 degrees and rainy. Tonight we are expecting freezing rain, ice and snow. This winter had been a roller coaster ride so far. I just hope we don't lose power. Is the weather screwy where you are ?? ☃️❄️🌬

@QVCkitty1, the weather is crazy here. We had some rain this morning, some a drizzle and some harder; then, sunny and 65; now, it is pouring and foggy. It is supposed to be freezing tomorrow.

@QVCkitty1, funny you should mention it because we've gone through the exact same thing. It was 64 in the St. Louis area yesterday - the temp started falling in the evening and dropped 40+ degrees. Our wind chill today was below zero! The only good thing is that we didn't get the ice and snow they predicted - hope you don't either. Totally crazy weather!

@QVCkitty1 ~ The same here as @jannabelle1, but we are in the suburbs of Chicago. I can hear the wind howling and it is COLD!!! It looks like there won't be any relief until next Friday. I love winter but this up and down extreme stuff is just crazy!!!

We had the same weather yesterday. Ice didn't turn out that bad and snow was about an inch. Today was raw. Going back to negative numbers over the next week.

@QVCkitty1

We “scooted” out of DFW 70 degree weather ahead of a front system and into PA (Pittsburgh). It was 70 when we arrived followed by overnight storms.

Today... flooding had closed some roads due to high temps melting snow and lots of rain.

Freezing temps hit at 4pm.

WILD WILD these temp swings!

This is so ironic to me. I picked up a serious and very contagious intestinal infection which forced our family to postpone a big 75th birthday party for my husband on Saturday. Everyone except one of my daughters was understanding and grateful that I, and my potential-carrier husband, didn’t subject anyone to this miserable bug (C-diff).

The irony is that our weather forecast for tomorrow, Saturday, is hideous. Ten inches of snow on top of up to an inch of ice are predicted. I don’t feel quite so sad anymore that the party is postponed. My recalcitrant daughter should feel relieved by now.

Just the same old rainy days here. Actually it's kinda boring. 😕

I edited to add where "here" is.

Washington state, and it's just gray and rainy day after day.

@KitTkat Gray and rainy day after day is called “winter in the pacific North west”

But I heard we are in for some nice sunny dry days this Sunday and Monday!

It was close to 70 today in Northern Va. You watch, a lot of people will be getting sick!

Then the temp is going to drop into the 30's again! Ugh!

@SeaMaiden

It wouldn't be the same without rain. I wear my mud boots outside and slosh all around the yard on our rare sunny days. 🌞

We've had two back to back sunny, mild days on the CA Central coast. The temps will be even higher over the weekend. They're predicting 70's !

This has been an unusually mild winter for us. We've only had one snowstorm, on Christmas morning, about 2 inches. January is usually my least favorite month, but here we are half way through and no snow. Temps were in the mid 50's and I've been able to take the dogs for a walk every day. Our temps are usually in the 30's with inversions. Only had one inversion so far. The forecast predicts a 40% chance of snow next weekend.

This is nutty weather. We were to get snow yesterday but got nothing and I'm happy. Today got to 32/16 tonight. Saturday 44/27. Tulsa, OK

@QVCkitty1

You must live near me! We had 63 degrees yesterday afternoon. By 7pm it was 32 & freezing rain/sleet. This morning we have at least 2 feet of HEAVY snow with a 2 inch layer of ice under it. It’s 10 degrees out now with a high of 13 and a low of -4. DH just went out to try to shovel & snowblow. I offered to help but he said I wouldn’t even be able to lift the shovel. Guess I’ll stay inside...

Phoenix has some of the best weather in the country according to the weather people on tv. 75-80 during the day with lows in the 50’s.

CalminHeart — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 13:21:27 GMT

In my area, it was 46 at 5am and dropped to 4 degrees by 7am. We're now in a deep freeze again with temps way below zero.

I can handle the cold but I hate the ice and snow. It makes getting around and to/from work such a pain.

Yes, same here, beautiful last two days, got out, hiked with my dog and then boom, hit with ice and snow...looks cold for most of the week and then looks like 50 for next weekend, crazy for sure.

Early in the week in our area, some models were forecasting the possibility of 21 inches of snow in our area.

Luckily that was backed way down, as on Thursday it was 55 here, then heavy rain into Friday, turned to freezing rain then snow that was blowing sideways Friday afternoon, evening and over night.

I haven't heard how much snow we got and it is hard to tell because it is heavily drifted from the strong winds, but I'd guess more in the 4 inch range.

Much better than the early possibilities!
