Philrad71 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 ^It's not so much the volume, but how quickly it came. Six+ feet within 24 hours is just unheard of! Now we are going into a warm up where we are getting freezing rain and all of that snow is going to melt in the next couple of days. The biggest problem now is roofs collapsing due to the weight of all of that heavy, wet snow. I think that they are up to about 13 deaths now due to this storm. It is definitely one of the biggest, craziest storms I have ever seen in all 43 years that I have lived in Western NY. I'm very glad that it passed us by, but certainly feel bad for those affected - we feel pretty lucky and fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projektion Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Sunny without a cloud in the sky. It's odd because it's pretty warm here at the moment, and by this time of year, the temperature has usually dropped to 10 - 12C, but it's still around 25-27C.

gisco Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Finally getting a little cool relatively speaking, 60 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Cold. The past two weeks have been below 20. Then on December 2nd it's supposed to reach up to 65-70* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Winter has arrived in Minnesota. We received several inches of snow on Wednesday, and it was -10 degrees on Thanksgiving morning. This horrible weather has kicked my offseason coaster withdrawal into full gear, and I still have over 5.5 months until Valleyfair opens . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Woke up to the first snow of the winter yesterday. Didn't last long, all was gone by the end of the day. Today the weathers been cloudy with a couple of degrees above freezing, but from tomorrow it looks like we have some rather crappy weather incoming.

Philrad71 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 82 when we left Fort Myers Beach on Friday - now back in Western NY and the temp is 25. Talk about a shock to the system and the always asked question after we vacation: " And just why do we live here?" Answer: For me, it's a 24 year career in which it might be hard to replicate salary and (especially) the five weeks of vacation that I probably wouldn't be able to walk into if I just up and resigned, sold the house and moved to Florida.

YoshiCraft2011 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 There was some pretty thick fog in Vegas a few days ago. Visibility was very low, and even on the I-15, some of the hotels were unrecognizable. Other than that, Vegas will continue to have some average weather.

Philrad71 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 We actually had a green Christmas this year, which is somewhat unusual for this area. Supposed to be close to 50 today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnastyGnoric7 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 My area is supposed to hit about 52 today, not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 This is so wierd, even for us. It's not that chilly outside, and it definitely looks like an early spring morning, etc. Not the end of December. At least, for where we are. Having snow is hit or miss, over here. But the temp.still drops pretty low, most winters. Not today, apparently. Photos attached. The other side of our block. Note all that green? From our front porch, looking to downtown Vancouver. And...note the palm tree behind the fir? Yep, it's real. Over where a pizzeria and other friends live. Fresh off of street cleaning, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's currently 1 degree here and it's supposed to get down to -7 tonight. That's winter in Minnesota for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Worst storm in 20 years hit today. Strong windgusts, airport closed, bridges closed, trees falling, people warned to not go outside. Over 20000 are without power. I was fortunate to only be without power for about 10 minutes during the worst period before it came back on. Others may have to wait until tomorrow. It has been calm for a couple of hours now so I decided to go for a short walk to see if any damage occured in the neighbourhood. Below you can see what I faced about 200 meters from my house. Similar scenes all through the region. There were also a couple of broken roof shingles laying just outside my front door, which was a bit scary thinking about what damage it could have done to a person.
