What's the Weather like where you live?

[CHecker]

I was just marveling as I drove to work and had to use a post card to block the sun, my area has had one of the sunniest years in memory. Summer usually doesn't start for us NW coast people till July then by 3rd week in September it starts raining. Not this year, it's been mainly clear skies since late April with only a couple rain/wind squalls. Now that it's near winter the sun is lower on the horizon and in my eyes all the time, visor doesn't even block it but that's ok, nice to have it.

I think I know why you had such a sunny year.  I think central Washington stole your clouds.  We had a surprisingly cloudy summer, then an indian summer in late September/October where it was sunny and 70-80 every day.  After that, several of our neighbors were wondering if Seattle weather moved over here.  Cold and rainy.  Now its sunny and 50's with 20's as the lows.

It is 29°C (85°F) and it 11:00pm at night. Tomorrow we are expecting 43°C (110°F).

[Pabo]

Well, we hit 43°C (110°F) today, and the air conditioner decided not to qork this morning.

 

But this was the temperature just after 3pm, and we had some cloud cover.

 

[Dages]

Today is grey and rainy... 11°C... meh 😬

Excuse the expression “hell” hot as hades🥵

[Pabo]

It is 10:30pm and it is still 32°C.

 

Looking at the forecast, we will be hitting 40°C on Saturday, 41°C on Tuesday, and mid to high 30's in between. Hopefully we get some reprieve on from Thursday when it gets lower than 30°C.

There is still a huge fire out of control in the Hunter Valley which only started about lunch time. Below is what it has burnt out thus far 510 hectares (it started where the orange icon in located).

 

 

There used to be a Kingdom Hall in Weston (it was located just below the word Weston on the picture), but it was sold some years ago and the congregation now has their meetings at Nulkaba KH sharing with another congregation.

[Pabo]

Just an update, the fire has grown to 754 hectares.

Is the weather milder today? Expecting rain soon hopefully? And do we know if brothers and sisters are affected?

[kejedo]

Coldest morning this season here in NY. Will have Dog, BabyGirl out this afternoon. If you caught pix of the 7 story bldg with one corner colllapsed, tenants are being allowed in this morning. Glad I only have a total of two stories

A view from out front of my apartment December 5, 2023, our first significant snowfall of the season. Today, all that snow is mostly gone, although some remains on the lawns. No sign of snow in the forecast for at least the next week.

[Pabo]

Well, this morning has started out nice, let's see if we can double the temperature today as forecast.

 

[JkentBZ]

Tomorrow is supposed to 86f/30c partly cloudy mostly sunny. I'm looking forward to laying in the hammock and reading. It's been cloudy and rainy for almost 5 weeks. I need Vitamin D!

[Friends just call me Ross]

We lost what little snow we had.

 

 

The temps have been, and continue to be, above freezing.

Not a normal sight, here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

 

Instead of a Winter Wonderland,

we are wondering if Winter will ever land. 😂

Let it rain

Let it rain

Let it rain

 

😂

[CHecker]

Ross, aren't you usually buried in snow in December? That's a different look out your window. Seems like you're having weird weather like we are here in the Northwest.

In September I had a few leftover potatoes that weren't looking good so I put them in the barrel where I'm composting this year. It's been so warm I now have potatoes, onions and celery growing in there! 

[Loopy]

Yep! High of 48* today with 30-40% chance of rain 🤣

 

Elnino(?) has Michigan in its clutches

 

And I don’t have to shovel rain 🤣🤣

This is the same view in a NORMAL Winter.  The falls is usually buried beneath a thick white blanket by now.
