The Weather.

Still very cold and EXTREMELY windy. All those fresh flurries are blowing & swirling & drifting like crazy.... oh, and it's especially nice when you go to check the mail and that lucky gust comes along and it feels like someone flung a healthy scoop of loose snow on the back of your neck. :brood:
 
Well, I can not believe this but we reached over 40 degrees F today! Just two days ago I was dealing with -29 F. My body is so confused lol. I took a walk outside at lunch to go to a nearby drugstore and browse for last minute gift items. Today inspired me to want to dust off the snowshoes and get them ready!
 
We are supposed to hit the 40s today, but it sure doesn't feel like it. It was 19 degrees when I left for work, so another day of working out inside. I miss my walks.
 
MUCH better than the last few days. It's in the upper 20s-low 30s, no discernible wind, eaves-troughs are dripping, cars driving by sound slushy rather than crunchy. LOL :p

It's 40 degrees now and the sun is out. Most of the ice has melted. It will be nice to walk on the sidewalk again! I seems so warm, I didn't even wear a coat to walk to the mailbox.
 
Storms can be quite nasty. I hope that you'll all be safe back home.

We are enjoying mild weather during the day but it frosts up during the night.
 
Today is pretty mild for an official winter day. It's in the 40s, and the wind has died down.

It's going to be mild and sunny for the next few days.
I saw the UK weather forecast for the South and it seems that
the temperatures will be similar to the south of France. It'll be one of the mildest Christmases on record for the UK.
 
We have an ice storm going on outside, freezing rain/sleet, high winds, and sleet pounding the windows. Getting home from Mom's was a nightmare. The city I live in is VERY hilly. Thankfully we mostly only had to go downhill. So many cars were not able to make it up the icy hills and had to back down. So in one week we had subzero insanely cold temps, then sun and 45 degrees, now right at the freezing point with rain/sleet. And we still have five months left of winter lol.
 
We have had lots and lots of fog. Even though the temperature has been warmer, the damp air and lack of sun had me chilled through today. Thankfully, none of that crazy ice stuff, though! We didn't even bother leaving the house today.
 
I had a winter nightmare last night...it felt so real...it was terrifying. I dreamt that the next ten days were going to be in the mid to upper sixties! I kept saying, WTHECK! How is this possible? It's not fair! And then I woke up. I quickly grabbed my phone to check my weather app. And that's when I realized it was just a dream. Whew!
 
It's a bit colder here.

That's no nightmare, that's NE Ohio! :confused:
We went from low 20's and snow storms to the 60's on Sunday, 50's Mon and rain storms, now back to 20's. And we'll do it again!
