YES! YES! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

It's 36°F here in Annapolis.

Lockport, NY is 36°F and cloudy right now.

It snowed quite a bit more, in the afternoon. :D

I'd say about 15-20cm (= 1/2nd - 2/3rd of a foot) of snow has fallen. The quality is excellent, I might add.

It's night now but not snowing anymore, it'll depend on the temperature of the soil whether it'll stay or melt tommorow.

Cold

It got a lot colder quickly there? Wasn't it still like 35-40°F two weeks ago?

I remember two weeks ago it being colder here than where you live but now your temperature has dropped significantly while ours is still somewhat the same.

Mankato, MN USA 17°F.

Cold

It's now 16 in kato.

51°F and rain here this morning but the cold is on it's way tonight

19 F

Currently 54°F (12°C)

St. Paul, MN: -4°F with a windchill of -36°F. This is as warm as it's supposed to get today.

That really sucks. I don't mind the cold, but anything below 0°F is just too damn cold.

Currently 52F (11C) at 7PM, was 59F earlier.

Toasty. :laugh:

Right now in good old Berwyn, IL: 11°F with a -2°F wind chill. I remember 2 or 3 winters ago it got down to about -18°F or so with the wind chill at about -42°F. Man was it cold. AND I walked to school.

26°

Was like 60 this morning.

good call I live in west central wisc and its -2 right now :)

Brussels, Belgium:  36.7 °F  / 2.6 °C

Snow°

Lucky you.

We'll get another snowless christmas, I'm sure. :(

5°F

It's currently at about -17 Celcius here. Finally starting to feel like winter. By Friday its supposed to get to -33 Celcius. 

EDIT: Forgot my city. Prince George, British Columbia.

21F and snowing. A lot.

-5 Degrees Fahrenheit in Berwyn with a wind chill of -29. Dang it's cold... (that's -21C and -34C respectively).

^ That is very cold Rob!

It never becomes that cold in Belgium, thank god.

Wow, it's really cold. I just poured some water on the window-sill, frozen in 25 seconds. O.O

This morning it was 6F with a windchill of -22F in Belleville, IL

11*C today.

5°F (-15°C) right now. It wasn't too bad earlier, but it got really cold after 7:00 or so.

Surprisingly cold for Cinci, 10°F and a wicked wind.

2°F with a -19°F windchill in St. Paul.

-3 with -29 wind chill. :P

Europe's great.

I saw on Belgium news as well as on CNN that there are major problems in the U.S. because of the snow, and that there are barely any flights.

Well, we have a 'tad' bit of relief, cause the winds have died down a lot. Even then, it's still -4 F with a -20 wind chill. Not as bad as -6 with -35 wind chill. Still though, very Brr... :P

Nice morning in St. Paul: -9°F with a -15°F windchill. Thank goodness the winds haven't picked up (yet).

It was about 50°F this morning and topped out at around 63°F. It had better get colder soon, I was sweating my ass off hunting today.

Like 93 or something. Got warm.

-1.0 °C

XD

It was a high of I think 61F yesterday, and by 10PM it was like 27F. 30F now with a 17F wind chill. Pretty windy, gusts up to about 30mph.

Bump! AND!!!

28F feels like 18F

It's been around -1*C to 3*C the last few days.

28*F

It was -6*C in the car on the way home tonight. I think that's the coldest I've personally seen in this country. Obviously it's been colder, but I haven't seen it.

Are you in the UK or New Zealand, James?

Because -6°C doesn't seem cold at all for the UK. It's been colder than that in Belgium (that I remember myself) and they're so close together there's barely a difference. The UK should be colder, actually.

Been in the 40s.

In the UK. As I said, it's obviously been colder but I haven't experienced it here. I think, apart from being up a skiing mountain, the coldest I've been in was -10*C in Paris. The weather reports have been saying parts of the UK are currently -10*C. It's -2*C where I am, and it's just started snowing.

34 but it's snowing and has been all day. Not sticking to the roads yet, but there's probably a good quarter inch on the lawns.

Ah, then the UK is warmer than I thought. The last couple of days it's been -5°C during the day here and -12°C during the night.

I thought it was bad how a couple of inches of snow brings this country to a stop. There's a news item on BBC about how the chilly weather is causing havoc. ::)

Apparently it's the coldest winter in the UK since 1996.

Yeah, it's hilarious what a teeny bit of snow does. It's even more funny when you realise a day of snow happens atleast once a year in Belgium, yet people still act like it's the first time they see it. :P

I'm not sure about the coldest winter in Belgium, but two days ago was the coldest day since a day in 1997.

25c.

Well it's summer here in NZ.

It was -5*C two days ago. Today it is 10*C. ???

That's nothing, here in Ohio (and many other areas in the US) it's not unheard of to have a 40 degree difference between one day and the next. Back in December for example we were wearing T-shirts outside one day and shoveling snow the next.

was 80 when I left work about an hour ago.  40 now

2F. Brr.

Add Minnesota to that list.

Windchills hit 50 below on the western prairie today. I see -5 with a -8 winchill right now in St. Paul.

I believe it hit something like 5°F today, but with a -10°F wind chill. All I know is that I'm loving the new coat I got for my birthday, I had to unzip my coat to cool off after walking a bit.
Tomorrow is supposed to be colder and even more snow.

-2 with a -25 windchill right now in St. Paul.

it is -10°F right now as the sun is setting.  I believe the forecasted high for tomorrow is supposed to be -5

-3 and -32 windchill right now.

33 and snewing a good bit. Hoping it keeps coming XD

9F feels like -11F. Supposed to get down to -9F tomorrow with a -30F wind chill. Brr...

You're getting the system that's rolling through here right now. I wouldn't be excited.

-18°F with a -41°F wind chill.

1F, -19F wind chill. Woo!  :o

The snow melted and the sun is shining. :)

It's 4 °C / 34°F.


Question: what's the logic behind the Fahrenheit scale because I'm not seeing it. If the converter site I'm using is correct then water freezes at 32°F. Is there a reason for that?

The freezing point of water is 0°C in Celcius. It makes sense because it's easy to see when it'll snow/freeze and when not.

There isn't, really...

The F and C scales actually converge at about -34C and -34F, so it gets even more confusing at lower temperatures. Celsius just makes more sense, but America is one of the few countries still on imperial...

Oh, and now:

Berwyn, IL: -9F, -23F wind chill (-23C and -31C).

Thar be cald.

It's kewld for daytime Cinci. Says 12 but I imagine Wind Chill is in the negatives.

It was -21 without the windchill when I left for work at 4 AM. Right now it's -11 with windchill it's -38. I work outside alot it was a fun day.

The only part of the Fahrenheit scale that makes sense is that once it gets over 100°F it's generally considered very hot, like hot enough that you don't want to e outside any more than you do when it's -10.
But you're right, the Celsius scale would make more sense to use. It's used heavily in the scientific world, we're just not using it enough to get a "feel" for it like we have with Fahrenheit.

High today was 10°F and the low was -5°F. Supposed to be colder tomorrow and then warm up to the 20's on Saturday.

1°F

It got down to -27 last night here. Supposed to be -22 again tonight. It hasn't been above 0 in something like 68 straight hours.

Here's an explanation from everyone's favorite bastion of "knowledge", Wikipedia.


Kinda makes sense when you think of it that way. Fahrenheit didn't base his scale on the freezing of water, but instead something else.

I certainly agree with what you said about the freezing point of water in Celsius. It makes far more sense, but when you've lived in the States long enough, you get used to Fahrenheit and know that the freezing point is 32.

Oh yeah, -13°F (-25°C)

Man, it just keeps going down...

-11F, -31F wind chill (-24C, -34C)

Yeah, it makes some sense indeed, but the things he based his scale on are kind of random for everyday life. The freezing point of water is far more important than that obscure mixture he made or the temperature of your armpit. :P (From a nature/environment point of view, that is the temperature that marks the biggest "changes" in the weather, thus it makes sense to make that 0° and not a random number like 32°)

It strikes me that the most important nation in the world is using all these outdated/complicated unit models. (temperature, length, volume, ... everything it seems :P)

-10°F

-26F  feels like -48F :o

I actually think F is better than C as well. Applying it to medicine, for example, if you took someone's temperature and it was 98.6 degrees, you'd know that it's "normal". And yes, we're really used to our weather readings being interpreted this way as well, so it would take quite a paradigm shift to get around changing from F to C in this country.

However, for any other things like yards, miles, and pounds...accepting meters, kilometers and kilograms to replace them wouldn't be as difficult. We do have km & kg measurements on many of our vehicles and product labels, respectively. I think American football would be the only obstacle to changing from yards to meters, though. 8)


Current temp this morning was -8 degrees, wind chill -20 (or lower).

That's no more normal than 37*C, though.

-24 with a -35 windchill. Starting to get pretty used to this garbage.

0F with -15 Wind Chill. It 'warmed' up quite a bit!

11

GOD DAMN

High of 4°F, feels like -12°F with the wind chill.

It's almost 30°F out now. Feels like a summer day compared to last week. Still snowing though.

4.8°C, not that cold at all. :)

28, feels like a balmy spring day compared to last few days.

9°C, that's 48.2°F

Damn you NES_Rules! I was going to post Kelvin, but not now. The thunder was stolen (probably a long time ago).

Anyway, 33°F in Olathe, KS and falling!

I had to give Kelvin some attention, and it gave me an excuse to have to use the degree symbol.

Today it's up in the low 40's, the snow and ice are finally melting. It's supposed to be above freezing tomorrow as well and then go back to the 20's.

The last two days have been warm here.  It's sitting at 44 right now.

58 :D

>:(

16F feels like -2F.

5.8°C / 44.2°F

It hit 61F yesterday at O'Hare INTL Airport, and was 67F in Berwyn, where I'm at. 41F currently, and raining. it's really odd having above 40 degree weather for 3 days in a row in mid February, but I'm not complaining! XD

It has been a bit colder the last few days, around 1 °C now.

30F right now in Berwyn.

7 °C, which is about right for this time of the year. It'll probably rain tommorow. :(

It was in the 70's today ;D
Supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow :'(

88 F

31C

So you didn't move then did you?

It's 30 something here atm.

42°F Feels Like 38°F
6°C Feels Like 3°C

About fifty outside, about ninety in this damn lab.

10°C / 50°F

The last week it's been getting up to 17/18*C in the afternoon, which is pleasant. It was 0*C this morning at 7am with low mist. By 10am the sun had burnt it all off and it warmed up.

Sommat like 38 F right now. Supposed to be 40 tomorrow, and 55 on saturday, with rain.

Nope

Currently 48°F.

55F

A nice warm 61F.  A bit windy, though.

An awesome 64°F. Its a bit windy, but the sun is shining. I almost forgot what its like to be outside on shorts, t-shirt, and barefoot and still be perfectly comfortable.

67F now, when it was in the mid 70s a week ago.

High today of 76°F, which should beat the record high today set in 1935 of 73°F. Average high for this day is 46°F. Its been like this for a week now, and should be for another week. I've actually seen people cutting grass already.

Broke another record high today, was 74, hit 81 today. Tomorrow looks the same with the old record being 70 and forecasted high of 81.
I sure hope we're not breaking records like this come June, July and August.

81F today, 87F yesterday, we've broken or tied record highs for 8 days in a row...

Who turned off the heat? It went from mid-80's to 50's yesterday and today. And there's a freeze warning tonight. If this freeze is hard tonight, its going to be brutal for all the fruit trees with blossoms already.

Currently 38°F but that's not stopping the snow...

Around 60 degrees by me.

81 - which is quite nice for this time of year in this area. 

61F here in lovely Livonia Michigan

This thread should not have died. 18F/-8C at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Winds: SW@18mph, gusting to 26mph. 'Tis brutal outside.

Currently 53 and raining, no wind. Typical Oregon.

I am greatly amused that you are gone for years and come back to bump a thread that hasn't been used in even more years,

bravo!

34F/1C with blue skies here in Leeds

High 64F/Low 34F Clear skies in Denver, CO.

We have seen measurable snow only once this year so far. 2 inches and it melted completely before the sun went down that day.

The mountains and ski resorts are averaging between 16% and 39% of the expected snowpack for the season to date. The most snow that has fallen in any of them has been 16.9 inches, and the expected for the season thus far should be 51.4 inches in that same one for reference.

It has been a very dry year for us, but that seems to be the going trend as I haven't seen a good snowstorm in over 15 years.

Not greatly different in Spokane. 42 and raining. But its has been warmer the last week or two. There was a week or 2 it was in the 20s and 10s. Also no snow in a week or so I guess.

Many people have a misconception that Washington as a whole is rainy and mild temperatures throughout. Spokane gets colder and much much more snow than Seattle but gets much less rain and gets a decent bit warmer in the summer. So more extremes, worse winters but also better if you like warm summers. Although that also means it can get more uncomfortably hot than Seattle as well.

Yes I am up at 3 Am.  ;)

One of my uncles actually works in Oregon, I think its Corvallis or something. He drives home every weekend and lives north of here like 20-25 miles on a farm type property with horses and stuff. I/this branch of the family kind of doesn't get along with his wife so we don't talk to them much at all anymore but I still keep him in mind when I hear the roads are bad and stuff.

Hmm.  13F/-10C in Metro D right now.  It's supposed to get up to 33F/0.5C today, but we will see.

35F in WI!

Too-damn-cold degrees F

Well its snowing now. Shit.

I was hoping someone would get a chuckle out of that. :P

The weather is dreary outside. KORD: 40F/4.5C, Overcast, and winds from the south at 7mph. And most of the snow has melted, so everything is muck. blerg

currently 6C/43F in Victoria, BC, Canada. it's calmed down now but we had a decent storm earlier (at least for around here), winds gusting up to 45 MPH. no snow here but there was 40 inches in 24 hours dumped on the nearest ski resort.

33C / 98F in Victoria, Australia.  Recent spurts of rain has meant high humidity in the last 2 weeks.  Yesterday was 38C. 

The high in Metro Detroit is only around 28F / -2C, which this time of the year isn't bad at all if we haven't had 50F / 10C for days now.  And it is snowing.

-1 Celsius, just after 5AM, in Northern BC.

32 degree F on the first day of Spring.  Oh my!
