Cool but bright in Norwich.

Tonight also starring Aurora Borealis in southern Norway.

I hate the cold.
In Friday it will be more bearable. Now with wind chill it is -4 and it sucks.

Couple of "snow in places I think of as hot" pictures from the recent cold spell:

Dome of the Rock in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound

The Parthenon atop the Acropolis Hill

Nor'easter tomorrow predicted to leave 12"-36" of snow. 70 mph winds. Wind-chill temps below zero.

 

[Broken_Erika]

Apparently, it's -23 degrees Celsius feeling like -30 outside right now.

 

[The_J]

If hell was cold, it would probably be like that.

 

[EgonSpengler]

Looks like we got about 30"/76cm of snow. It's about 14F/-10C as the Sun's going down. Went out to shovel, lasted about 10 minutes before my fingers were too cold. Now they've got that itchy/burning feeling.

We got a dusting of snow a few days ago. There's potential for something interesting on Wednesday, but it's still too soon to know for sure.

Almost 500-mile-long lightning bolt crossed three US states
An almost 500-mile long bolt of lightning that lit up the sky across three US states has set a new world record for longest flash, scientists have confirmed.

The bolt in 2020, extended a total of 477.2 miles (768 km) and spread across Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.

The previous record was 440.6 miles (709 km) and recorded in Brazil in 2018.

Lightning rarely extends over 10 miles and usually lasts under a second.

Another lightning flash recorded in 2020 - in Uruguay and Argentina - has also set a new record for duration at 17.1 seconds. The previous record was 16.7 seconds.

"These are extraordinary records from lightning flash events," Professor Randall Cerveny, the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) rapporteur of weather and climate extremes, said.

According to the WMO, both records took place in areas prone to intense storms that produce "megaflashes".

Aurora Borealis came to me again last night. She danced for me in a green seethrough dress. Mesmerized by her beauty.

We got an inch of sleet (ice pellets) and some freezing rain about a week ago. Today it's pushing 80°F (27°C).

 

[Birdjaguar]

70 yesterday, today and likely tomorrow followed by colder. Spring is coming....

 

[TheCleanerDragon]

70s today and earlier this week. Can't wait for spring to come and my winter allergies to clear up.

 

[Grendeldef]

70 of those degrees is quite optimal temp and anything above should be cut off & saved to be used as a boost on days when temperatures are dramatically lower than that. We also apparently have the technology to shape the weather as we please. I learned that on Brainfart comment section years ago.
In general temperatures between ~75-150F are useless as the minimum functional temp for sauna is ~150F. Obviously that's not enough for a proper sauna experience but excellent for recuperation & relaxing muscles. Oddly enough I have had only limited support with this view.
Outside it's just above 0 C on daytime and -10 C at night which is excellent. Nothing is wet and the snow is hard enough to carry the weight of a man, even me.

 

[danjuno]

Temps supposed to climb, but then of course I get rainstorms in my area.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

70 yesterday, today and likely tomorrow followed by colder. Spring is coming....

[Zkribbler]

[Zardnaar]

Supposed to hit 26C early autumn.
