What's the weather like where you are?

[Sasuke]

It's quite cold here but no snow. 

I'm glad you got your snow @Sakura I'm glad you're happy. I wish I could have stayed a little longer to have enjoyed it with you.

Nothing beats feeling like you're back at home again

Truly. I'm enjoying this weather just for the fact I feel like I'm home. 

Right now it's 26F/-4C with colder temperatures over night, more snow flurries possible. It doesn't look as if our snow is going to melt anytime in the near future since the temperatures aren't going to get above freezing in the next 7 days with more snow expected on Friday.

Yasss, I read more on Friday, and it doesn't look like anything is really going to melt with these temps so I'm looking forward to multiple snow days I just hope everyone out driving in it or having to go out stays safe and warm ~ 

[Sarada]

15 degrees it says it feels like 9 degrees with a high of only 25 degrees today T.T colder than yesterday. It's progressively getting colder until Friday

[Sasuke]

Cold and chilly all day today.

WINDY!  So much wind!  Bits of rain and even snow too, even though temperatures are in the upper 60s.  Very strange weather.  Work sent out a text this morning for everyone to stay/go home today and plan to do the same tomorrow.  The weather people are saying it's the worst wind situation for SoCal in decades. 

Edit: and of course with the low humidity windy weather is fire weather

It's been very cold all day. No rain or snow just very cold.

[Zeref]

It's 25F right now and overnight supposed to get down to 0F. Going to keep the heater blasting all night. 

[Clayton]

So cold... so very, very cold...

Wow really, you guys have snow?  That's weird indeed ~ I know there are regions in Cali with snow, but I guess snow is the last thing I think about when I think of out there lol I hope they get those fires under control :c

The snow is not sticking around but apparently the low-pressure system driving these winds came from up north and brought some very cold air with it, cold enough to create snow at higher elevations.

Not sure about the fire.  It all depends on the winds.  The wind fell off a bit this afternoon but it has been picking up again this evening.  Strongest winds are supposed to be tonight and into the wee hours of tomorrow morning but they're not supposed to fall off completely until Thursday morning.  Until they go away and air drops can be made safely fighting the fire will depend mainly on ground forces.  Overnight they'll probably have to ground the aircraft completely due to darkness, terrain, smoke, and winds making flying too dangerous for water drops.  Without water drops the ground troops won't be able to reach the parts of the fire that are in the mountainous brush areas away from city streets and fire hydrants.  Right now the firefighters are in structure-protection mode with the fire 0% contained.  The fire has the initiative and the firefighters can only react to whatever it does.  If the fire goes into the hills they'll just have to let it burn where it will and hope the wind doesn't drive it back into the inhabited parts of the city somewhere else.

I pray that God makes this cold weather go away. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Sarada]

It's 15 degrees right now and the wind chill is 3. 

[Sasuke]

Cloudy and cold. 

[Animedragon]

Sunny and cold, I had to put my hat and coat on to retrieve my recycling boxes this morning.

[Zeref]

It snowed here today very lightly but was blowing snow pretty hard around noon - 2 PM. Snow was forecasted for Friday for possibly 1-2 inches more but now they are saying anywhere from 4-10 on top of the 10 we already have.

YASSSSSS ~ Super excited for it. They keep changing the amount and don't seem to really know what we are going to get but I'm happy even on the lower end of the scale and just getting 4. I'm hoping it's not ice or anything though because that hasn't been fun. It's also near impossible to do anything with this snow because it's a powdery snow and I tried to build a snowman on the balcony earlier and I can't because the snow just falls apart instantly  I ended up with hands I couldn't feel and just a lump of snow ~

It's the WRONG SORT OF SNOW !

(This is a UK joke because years ago a spokesman for our railways said they couldn't clear the tracks because it was the wrong sort of snow, he later regretted saying that.)

That's not a good situation to be in.

[Sarada]

It's 14 degrees outside and for some reason our school administration thinks that's an okay temperature to go outside in ;-; 

[Sasuke]

It's been quite sunny today, however freezing temps here. 

[Animedragon]

Sunny but still very cold.

[Xxdisukohonore99xX]

Where I live is, 21° degrees celsius (70 fahrenheit), and it's raining. December and January are usually very rainy here.

[Zeref]

The temperate got to a warm 28F today and overnight will be 11F as it slowly starts to get colder again as this new Winter storm comes tomorrow to drop more snow in the area. 

[Sakura]

Cold cold cold ~ but I'm happiest in the cold so that's okay. 

It's saying we will get 3 inches of snow starting in the morning

[efaardvark]

Smoky, with a chance of high winds and fire.  Hopefully not so much as a couple days ago.

I have next to no experience with such things but my brother in Wisconsin says that it has to be close to freezing to make a good snowman.  Not too cold, because It has to be a little wet.  Like when building a sand castle at the beach.  In fact, he says that driving on really cold, freshly-fallen snow is a lot like driving on sand.
