Oh, the weather outside is...

[Lexicus]

I'm really hoping this Winter Storm doesn't screw with my flight back to DC

We got about 3.2" (~100mm) of rain in the course of a week last week. That's more than our normal February rain, but we were in a severe drought, so it was necessary.

Yesterday was +17 degrees celcius and sunny, tonight it's going down to -3 degrees celcius with up to 10cm of snow....

We're supposed to get a lot more rain tomorrow and a smattering more through the weekend. I'm so stoked.

It has been 40 degrees the last three days in Minnesota, melting all ten inches of snow we got over the weekend. I don't remember the last time it was this warm -and will continue to be this warm- in Minnesota in February/ early March. Meanwhile Europe is getting hit with SNOWMAGEDDON and the Arctic is 40 degrees above normal.

It snows excessively one day, melts partially the next, then snows again. This has been going on for weeks in Eastern Washington and the Idaho panhandle.

That's similar to here. I got a weather advisory a few hours ago to expect a dump of snow over the next few days (thanks, Pacific Ocean; I had plans to do stuff this week).

 

[Silurian]

Well its warmed up here 1C rising to 6C at midnight so the snow will be gone soon.
Nice little drift on the path to my house about 300mm deep and ice hanging off the telephone lines.
Now it is supposed to start raining soon and carry on for most of the weekend.
Goodbye snow see you again in a few years!

Supposed to carry on snowing on Dartmoor, I can not see it, but rain there tomorrow.
The rivers should be in full flight for a few days as the snow melts pl

Sky looks about the same from LA this morning.

I had to open the window to get that shot, so never say I don't suffer for my art!

 

[hobbsyoyo]

No rain yet.... Getting pretty peeved with the weathermen

Now do a painting of it!

You're a Californian now. When a weather prediction says rain in LA it may not mean anywhere near you. It might have drizzled on the Hollywood Hills. It might have drizzled on the Santa Monica Mountains. It might have rained a bit on the harbor at San Pedro. Any of those qualify as "rain in LA."

Well the channels I use do break it down by microclimates

 

[Silurian]

So many cars were abandoned in the snow last night on the sea front.
This morning there was an extreme high tide caused by the wind and many were flooded.

Yeah, but they're just making stuff up. From Burbank to San Diego is one desert pan. Predicting that a weather pattern will produce rain intermittently as it crosses that pan is within the model. Predicting that it will probably happen over the bumps in the pan, like the Hollywood Hills, rather than the flats like Garden Grove, is safer than not. But pretending that there is a way to guess where the rain will land specifically is a fool's game. We very seldom get the kind of prediction friendly storms where there is actual rain over widespread areas.

I can feel the wind moving the whole building.

How tall is the building?

I'm drinking in the airport bar because my flight got cancelled by the damn Winter Storm but we got another flight about 12 hours later so hopefully that works out
