Say, let's talk about that weather!

In the 90's with humidity to match. That inflatable pool can't come soon enough.

Guess I'll join in on the trend that it's in the 90s and humid AF.

In the 90s with a heat index above 110. Woo.

Was hot as hell over the weekend. Heat indexes were in the 110s and heat warnings were everywhere. Now it's comfortable.

Been a little chilly the past few days and not as humid. Gonna be a hot one this weekend, though.

It's been in the high-70's mid 80's this week and it's going to be in the low-mid 80's next week.

Snow's moving in and I'm in the process of getting sick. Joy!

My parents had -39 celcius in the north while here in south I have mere -20. Pretty standard January wheather

You have my sympathies. I have sinus drainage as of now and I always get it or a head cold around late fall-winter. Here in Michigan it's 15-20 F, but the wind chill makes it feel like 0 to -10 F. Thankfully, most of the snow melted the day after Christmas via a heat wave that got to 57 F. Only the snow piles are left standing. We still get snow, of course. But nothing big or heavy.

36.C here, cannot imagine the temperatures u are all describing now!

It's cold here in Canada. That's all you need to know.

Well since I'm never ever touching Australia with a pole the length of Chile from north to south, I suppose I can at least try to imagine that.

...not. I'd literally pass out and die from that, god almighty.

Aaaanyways, it's chilly (and wet sometimes as well, but of course it is, I'm British) here, unsurprisingly.

It snowed like 8-10 inches here (kind of unexpectedly) a few days ago. Now it's about 60F and there's mud everywhere.

It's supposed to be January and I want my cold weather back, dangit! Well... moderately cold... 20-35F is nice, and colder than that isn't bad if the sun's out. I'm not a fan of extreme cold, but I hate hot weather. I'm usually that person standing outside eating ice cream in freezing cold temperatures because it doesn't melt.

So is this true then?

Yup.

Funny how the weather works over here.

It snowed 2-4 inches a few days ago, but we got 2 days of low 40-something degree weather and rain that washed it all away. Today it's going to get to 28 F but next week it will be in the mid-high-40s. That's fine by me. This was supposed to be like the the winter of 2013-2014 were we got a ton of snow and cold, but it's shaping up to be more like the inter of 2011-2012 where we only had a few days of actual winter and it was more like a really long fall/autumn.

It's been in the low-40's to high 30's here. It's hasn't felt like winter in a while, which is odd for Michigan. This reminds me of how we barely had a winter in 2011-2012. Hopefully, we don't get a nasty turn of events like we had in 2015 when the winter was slightly better then average, but February was nasty for most of the month.

Winter came back here. So far, it's been remarkably gentle when it comes to the snow. It's a light dusting really. Sometimes it's a slow light snowfall yet other times it's a fast, yet still peaceful snowfall.

Is it sad I cant wait for spring?

So... yeah, imagine my dismay at how bright and warm it has been.

I'm exactly the same, lol! I love the cool showers that come in the summer.

As for my area, nothing but warm weather. The snow's even started to melt. I tell you, if we didn't get these brief intervals of sunshine, I'd go crazy from all the cold.

A lot of people are like that when they age.

I'm a guy who loves thunderstorms. I could relax for hours listening to one. On the other hand, much like anyone else, not a fan of severe weather. Been lucky to avoid several tornados, but its always a threat around here, and more disturbingly, has been happening more and more closer to fall. I think we even had a tornado warning right before Christmas this year.

IIRC, in your JPL info, you said you live in Kentucky. I know that the weather is warmer there then it is up here in Michigan but wouldn't one think that end in September or early October?

We've had very warm winters lately. If anything makes me believe global warming, it's this. We'll maybe get our snow and cold weather late January through March. But like our Christmas Day was 65 degrees, while a week earlier it was 25. Today it was sleeting, but last week it got up to 70. Out weather around here is all kinds of screwed up.

We had a warm Christmas in 2015, too. It was either 65 or 40 degrees. Unheard of for me. We also didn't have a true winter from 2011-2012. Just a few days of snow, and one long fall with some spring days that went right into spring. To be fair, we also had a fairly warm winter during 1999-2000, but at least we had a white Christmas.

I, like Michael Crichton, don't believe in Global Warming. Unlike him I think, I do believe in climate change. Climate is always changing, we are just accelerating it. Drastically. But the earth has also done that on its own--with the help of the sun. It is cyclical This has been about the warmest winter I have had ever--also set summer records but 2 years ago we had like 20 inches of snow in the winter.

Next year it might be freezing again. Or an el nino/la nina winter and get 30 inches of snow and pretty cool temps.

Glad it is pretty warm though.

Right now, it's 62 degrees. It's very warm for February, but nobody minds. I love it.

Freezing for February here, only a top of 15.C today but feels like 8.C with the wind chill, this is Summer right?

It's so nice out I'm sitting out in my backyard at the table with the laptop and Spotify going 

Sunny 'n bright afternoon, the sky is blue and the little birds are singing.

Still warm but winter sorta returns tomorrow...yay.
