Oh, the weather outside is...

[Silurian]

May get down too -2 next week and we may even get some snow that does not melt on impact.
Have not seen snow on the ground, apart from a flake that melts within sixty seconds, for four years.

When I woke up on Friday morning at 8 am, in full daylight and all, it was still -4 degrees (in February!), which only slightly dipped over freezing all day.

Learned something here. I was under the impression that February was the coldest month and was all set to comment on your "in February," but it turns out that January is indeed colder on average.

 

[Arakhor]

February has the reputation for being cold and miserable, but it's not usually this cold.

 

[Cutlass]

I was out most the day Tuesday in shorts and a t-shirt. Wednesday was even warmer. Thursday we got sleet. Friday, rain.

Your country uses metric, right? So you're talking about -4C.

That's a warm day, this time of year.

 

[Arakhor]

Given that the UK is heated by the Gulf Stream, that is definitely not a warm day round these parts. (And yes, in the UK, anyone under the age of 60 or so uses Celsius these days.)

In more civilized climes we hit -4 a couple nights in December.

 

[Zkribbler]

Wow, we got slammed yesterday: high winds & a prolonged downpour. It was only a Low-Pressure Area passing through, an unnamed storm, but it felt much worse.

I had two guys working on projects. I told them to stop working & invited them in for some action movies, but they jumped on their motorcycles and went home.

Thunderstorms are predicted for today and rains until next Friday. Highs of 31 [87].

It's weird how mild England's climate is. We've had 12 nights at or below -4C this February in Oklahoma at 35N, and three days with highs below freezing. But we've also gotten at or above 20C on four days this month. We went from 27C to 7C and ice pellets to 3C and cold rain to 24C and cloudy to 2C and thunderstorms to -2C and freezing rain to -5C and ice pellets all in the course of about five days.

Meant to get chilly next week though, which given the previous fortnight must mean a thing. My partner from England is coming up and was asking about if she should pack warm clothes.

We've been around -4-4C at nights. I don't care, I like hot water bottles.

 

[Arakhor]

We have both a maritime climate (largely wet, with less extreme seasons) and the warming waters of the Gulf Stream to help us out. I'm not a fan of harsh weather in the slightest (below freezing or above 25).

 

[PhroX]

It's snowing....

 

[Arakhor]

You live on the east coast, Phrox?

 

[PhroX]

I'm in Surrey. It's stopped snowing now, but it was pretty heavy earlier. Also bloody cold.

 

[Cutlass]

Supposed to be in the 50s all week here. Looks like winter is over.

 

[Kyriakos]

It was snowing here this morning, though it stopped now.

It's hovering just above zero here (in the west Cotswolds), though it is bright and the BBC is predicting snow later this week.

Don't count on it. Weather moves from me towards you, and the doomsayers are saying it might snow on Palmdale tonight.

 

[Arakhor]

It was supposed to snow in my local town today (anywhere from 79-99% probability!), yet despite living up a steep hill from said town, what few flakes I saw drifting past in the rapidly vanishing light did not stick around at all.
