Weather check-in

It is 70 degrees and raining.  I'm wearing short sleeves and we are under tornado watches/warnings.  In January.  Bizarro.  I want snow and I want it now!

It's 16 here and doing some weird sleet/snow/rain combo. We're also having 35mph winds with 50mph gusts. Fun times. We had a power outage yesterday from all the ice at the farm. It's a school workday for me and the power has been flickering all morning. Not enough to go home, just enough to be annoying!

39 and cloudy.

Yikes, being out in 16 degrees with snow and high winds can't be fun!  Down South where I live we pretty much shut down when it snows so I can sit at home and enjoy it and not have to be out in it.  :Y:  My city has a number of snow plows to make roads decently passable but since the schools here are pretty quick to close, many people take time off or work from home if they can.

It's currently 24 feels like 8. Winds are currently blowing 25-35 Mph. We got probably between 2-3 inches of snow last nights so roads are messy. All the schools in our area closed today.

unseasonably warm and rainy here too, but it won't last long. Temps will drop through the day and over night to below freezing with a chance of snow in the morning. It was nice while it lasted (all the kids in the neighborhood were out after school yesterday, it was great)

LOL. It's just another typical day for the Midwest here. The wind is extreme for where I live even, but the rest of it is relatively normal for January. We had late starts at school due to ice Monday and Tuesday, but it's pretty clear all things considered now.

And I'd rather be at school in this weather. School snowdays are awesome, but school is warm. If I was home, I'd be freezing wet outside on some random farm chore I'm sure.

I'm about to head out to grab some lunch but I'm really debating if just starving for today is a better option. I don't want to make more trips than necessary out in the weather!

Ali: I just responded to your PM too. In a nutshell, I didn't even think twice about it. No big deal.

It's mid-60s here now, supposed to get up to around 70. Humid and rain expected. This is after a week of high 20s, and we're expecting snow showers again on Friday. I can't keep up!

[mrs.jacinthe]

Today's high is supposed to be 63 with sunshine. We're having an unseasonably dry January this year, but the temperatures (while a little above average) aren't unexpected.

[mrsemilys]

It's 50 and cloudy. We had bad storms last night so I woke up at 4:30am to tornado sirens. DD, DH and the pets and I spent 30 min in the basement and it took me almost an hour to get back to sleep. I'm tired

[sailorgray]

67 in Philly area and there are definitely a storms acomin'. It feels like summer (not the temp, but the feeling in the air when a storm is brewing). I really love it, but worry about what's to come and about what's going on with the tornadoes.

[lemondrop]

Cold (about 15) and dropping. Slight snow fall.

[FoxInFiji]

It's 28 (feels like 16) and snowing. We're getting 8" today and it's windy. Yesterday it was 57 degrees and a huge downpour. Farm fields were flooded and there were rivers of water everywhere. Then it froze and snowed on top of that so it's incredibly slippery.

[RoxMonster]

It was near 70 here yesterday which broke a 99 year old record and we had thunderstorms.

Today it was in the low teens with winds over 40 MPH and snow. I hate life right now.

[emjacobs]

54 and high winds and rain. Most of the roads are flooded and the wind broke my Christmas tree made from flower pots.
