Oh, the weather outside is...

[Finvola]

Very windy and rainy at the moment. It says it's 61F outside but it feels much colder than that.

Where in the hell do you put 14 feet of snow so that you can live around there?

Here's a link to some pics and videos when Redield set the record last month for the largest 48hr snow total:

And you don't have buildings collapsing all over the place?

The pond near my Chapel Hill, NC neighborhood froze over this week. I walked out on the shallow part and it held my weight, but I didn't want to go out in the middle where I could possibly fall in and drown/die of hypothermia. One guy was even riding his bike on the pond. It was weird seeing rocks and debris on the lake. I threw the rock in the picture at the ice (from shore), and it didn't crack at all. It seemed like the ice was 3 or 4" (8-10 cm) thick. Being at only 36° north, I had never walked on a pond in my hometown, as typically the most ice they'll get is a thin layer you can't walk on. In fact it hasn't gotten above freezing since New Years Eve. This is the first time since 1917 that we've had a whole week below freezing! Also my yard is still 75% covered with the inch of snow I got Wednesday night. Usually an inch of snow will all melt within a day or two.

Cape Cod is frozen too.

Wait until you see the standard southern California drainage systems in action. You are in for a treat. The system of storm drains is incredibly extensive. Being new here you may have mistaken them for roads.

I was here for the flooding last year, oh I remember all right. I insisted my wife take the other car for work today because the low rolling resistance tires on the EV make it a venerable death trap in the rain (which I also found out last year).

 

[Broken_Erika]

Around 10cm of fresh snow, with the usual traffic chaos after a good sized snow fall turning most roads into slip-N-slides.

Cape Cod is frozen too.

Oh my! Here's hoping the cod didn't freeze as well.

@Snerk, have you considered a career as a fish miner?

 

[Snerk]

I've struck a vein of goldfish!

My boss couldn't get on my street today because some lady got stuck. He had to go around and pick me up another way. Half of my work is under snow.

And here I am drinking coffee and eating salami sandwiches. It's a curious start to the week

We lived outside Chapel Hill for 20 years and never had such freezing weather. Brrrrrr. i don't remember our pond ever freezing enough to walk on.

Things have warmed up here, to a balmy -8C (no sarcasm; around this time of year, that is warm). The weather network says to expect snow tonight, though.

 

[warpus]

Yeah things warmed up here too it's 1C, -5C with windchill. Only going down to -6 (-11 with windchill) overnight

In context these last couple days it has been at times colder than -30 with windchill and during the day it was common for it to be colder than -20.

 

[Cutlass]

It got over freezing a bit here today, and is supposed to for the rest of the week.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Our official 96 days without rain ended Wednesday. The airport measured 0.03 inches. At our house, the ground got wet if it wasn't under something.

 

[Zkribbler]

25C -- 77F

 

[Broken_Erika]

-9C, feels like -16C

 

[Cutlass]

All our snow melted off, as we got 3 inches of rain. Some flooding in low areas. Now it's gone cold again.
