We got six inches overnight and it's still snowing. Of course, it's supposed to be 40 degrees agian by next Wednesday.

We have had high eighties for several days but lately we got some (much) needed rain and now it is suppose to be in the twenties Sunday and Monday morning! So far it has been a mild winter which is a big change from the last two where we had some major fish kills. We are in Florida by the way.

We ended up getting less than an inch, blew all over and now it's colder. I'll be waiting for the 40º weather to get back here Dino!

Come on down. This warm weather has got my winter garden going crazy. The summers are hot here, but otherwise it is not that bad. Could use some mountains though.

Have you heard about the weather in Eastern Europe in the last few weeks? In Croatia and Serbia is has been around zero to 15 degrees F with major snow storms and some loss of life.

Yes, up to fifteen feet of snow and hundreds dead.

Hi...


No blizzards here...but we had a steady, light, wet snowfall all afternoon. It looks like winter now...!! About three inches fell...but it will be gone again tomorrow, per the 40-degree temps.

Calls have been coming in from around the county regarding vehicle crashes of all types, and some roads had to be closed off.

I think this has been only our second day of snow this winter. Schools have not had to use any of their snow days yet this year.

But..theoretically, anyway...we have about another month of potential "winter", so it remains to be seen how that will turn out. You don't hear anyone saying "come on spring" though, as it's been here all "winter"...!!


NOTE:

"Pathfinder", who is now posting on this forum, is NOT Pathfinder1, which is me...!!
