dogsbody Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Greetings fellow members. This is a photo of the view screen of my little home weather station. The two numbers on the left side are the outside temperatures. The top one is the actual temp, while the bottom one is the windchill factor. This morning there was no wind at all. Disregard the time and date. I didn't bother to reset it after changing the batteries in the unit outside this past autumn. Anyone else living in a cold place right now?

My back garden in Leeds - UK. It's been tipping it down all day and then it started to sleet about 20:45 GMT. Next thing I look out of my window and it's snowing like billy o and ground is covered! Surprised it has laid to be honest due to the ground being so wet all day. Current temp is 0 Fahrenheit which is no where near as cold as your getting it though! Would appear that the UK is actually getting a 'proper' winter this year! Where I live in the city is quite high up (about 420 odd feet above sea level) so we can get snow when everywhere else tends to get rain or sleet.

Des Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Positively tropical by comparison here in Montrose with only sleet so far but blowing a gale in from the North Sea which is only a couple of hundred yards away so the 2 degrees when I was out at lunchtime felt a lot lower with windchill and with it coming in from the east gable end is taking the full blast and central heating earning its keep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 It's too cold and clear here to snow, but when you look toward the sun during the day, you can see the twinkle of ice crystals in the air. It is so cold and dry here, that any ice that's in the direct sun will slowly disappear as the photons from the sun will kick the water molecules out of the ice. Just a while ago, you could see the little wisps of steam just above the roof of the wife's car, as the bit of snow and frost sublimated. At night, you can see towering beams of light going up into the sky, from bright streetlights and other lights catch the ice crystals.

Ooo, that would do me nicely. Anything less than 25 degrees centigrade is cold to me. Did once spend a bit of time in Huhot, Inner Mongolia, where it minus 32 and hated it.

Tzulscha Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Sunny and clear here in Michigan this morning and eight below zero. At least the snow has stopped after three days, for now. Now to go dig the car out so I can get to work. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Quack Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I must admit I love the Canadian climate. I spent a wonderful couple of months there over a Winter in the 80`s as a student ..... my memories are of beautiful snow, lake-ice thick enough to drive on, blue skies, soft brushes to take the snow off a car - no need to scrape! I didn't feel uncomfortably cold until I stepped off the plane back in Scotland, and felt the dreich drizzle and damp, bone- penetrating cold of home!

Admiral Puff Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Well, it's supposed to be summer here - but so far we've had just ONE day above 30 deg C! There have been one or two places elsewhere in Australia that have been hotter, longer, but this is most unusual for the Central West of NSW. Most nights it's down to single digit temperatures. And we DO get snow in winter ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Allegedly -6c here. Been light to moderate snow on and off since Saturday night. Not deep, but drifting a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Well it's cold apparently, 1 degree C outside according to my phone but the heat's off in the house. It's cold here at the moment but judging by the men in shorts and bare legged women out there, maybe not so. I always felt I was born to live in a hot country. Yet somehow I ended up in the west of Ireland. Nevertheless I don't bother with the heat in the car at the moment. I don't really think it's that cold. On the other hand I was disappointed on my first trip to Africa to find the weather resembled a bad summer in Blackpool. Some excuse about the rainy season except it rained only once. My shorts and topee helmet remained in the luggage. Beast from the East 2 is threatened. I have my sun tan lotion ready. 🌞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Timmy Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 It was a brisk 72 deg here today... BRRRRRR!! I hate Arizona in the winter. Cant wait for Summer, and those 112 deg days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKrypton Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 It was minus 18 C ( round about 0F ) this morning and sunny. Tee shirt weather to spend 10 minutes cleaning up a couple of cm of light fluffy snow on the sidewalk after I took the garbage out. cheers, Graham near Ottawa Canada 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Zero degrees and no snow here in Wirral. We hardly ever get snow here as it all gets dumped on the Welsh hills on t’other side of the Dee. For us to be snowed in, Oxford Street in London needs to be infested with mammoths.
