Wretched weather

gidgetgh — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 18:17:16 GMT

Really heavy rains in Atlanta and 40 degrees. Apparently this is the same weather we’re going to get the entire week. Wretched.

I don’t have to go anywhere today, but tomorrow I have to go out and make several stops. I’d rather get in bed and pull the covers over my head.

I absolutely freeze all winter long, every winter. Between the cold and the never ending gloom, it gets to me after awhile. I absolutely hate winter.

That’s it. Carry on.

It could be worse.....think of the poor folks out in California.... Some won't even have a bed to sleep in......or even a house when they get back to where they were living.

I was up and out early for my annual mammogram. Also filled my gas tank, and got home just before the rain started here in WV.

The heaviest rain is coming tonight and then turning to snow showers for the next 2 days. Our highest temperature on Saturday was 29 degrees; we are at 39 today.

Am not ready for it to be this cool, or deal with snow.

@RedTop I'm just curious based on your weather, do you mind sharing what part of W. Va. you live in? I've been through the state a number of times and visited a few different locations but don't have a real working knowlege of the state.

@ShowMe- it absolutely could be worse, could always be worse. I really was just doing a little good natured griping. It’s just that I stay so cold, I have thyroid issues, but my levels are good and my doctor can’t figure out why I’m so unnaturally cold in the winter.

@gidgetgh.....well if it will make you feel any better, it is snowing pretty hard here right now. Big, huge flakes. No, I'm not going out. Staying put.....

I will gladly take your cold and rain if you will take my awful Santa Ana winds and drought.

I bet all those in California would find your "wretched" weather a blessing. We have snow on the ground and I wish I could send them some. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

I LOVE our weather right now!!!! 47 overcast and the low might get down to freezing---actual FALL weather in Texas such a welcome change from the heat/humidity

Prayers to those in California battling wildfires, and to those experiencing drought...........

Same here in NE Ohio. Going to be cold with possible snow showers this week. We went from using our air conditioner the first couple of weeks of October then went right into furnace weather. No in between - we usually open the windows for a few weeks in September and October.

@RedTop Thanks for responding. I'm not real familiar with the area but do know generally where it is.

Blasted wretched weather is right! Lol! Woke up this morning (St. Louis area) and it was 37. Temperature slowly dropped and by noon it was snowing and continued to snow for 4 hours. Hubby had a medical test this afternoon at a local hospital, so we trudged out and were fortunate they offered valet parking. Traffic was a mess, our wind chill is down to 13 and the birdies and deer need more seed/corn tomorrow morning. Wretched weather!

@jannabelle1.......I too live in the St. Louis area..... Yes, there were some pretty large flakes coming down.

I have been a pretty regular patient at old St. Anthony's (Now Mercy) on Tesson Ferry.....was getting treatments for my cancer there.....and yes, that valet parking is wonderful. Thank goodness I don't have any doctor appointments until !2/3...eye doctor. And on 12/10....have to go out to the hospital to have my port flushed. Will have valet parking at that time. That's it for a while.

We have so much sunshine here in NM that a gloomy day is a rare treat. Most of our state had snow overnight and yesterday but not the Albuquerque area. It was sunshine as usual, cold though with a high of 34° today.
