Rachel Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Sunny and 19, much colder than normal for this time of year. My 9 year old wouldn't wear a coat either, he did finally agree to at least take it with us in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 At nights here it's dipping down to -25C (~-13F) in the days it's only making it up to around -17C (~1F). It's COLD here! At least we don't have any snow on the ground for me to be slipping on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 We had a little cold front so it dropped down to the mid 70s. Suppose to be back up in the 80s by Saturday. I love Florida. I told my husband for years I was coming here for the winters. He should have taken me seriously. Have been here for 18 months now with our youngest DC :lol:Off topic but can I just say it's nice to see a new resident saying good things (you did in another thread also). Too often imo, people move to Florida then immediately start complaining about everything from the weather to the food to how things are done here. I usually wonder why those people left a place that was obviously so much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Cold enough this morning that my ducks sort of turned into icicles after their morning bath. They were all shiny with bits of ice dangling from them and crunchy when you touched them. But they were happy as can be and gobbled down their warm scrambled eggs. But cold and sunny.

Melissa in Australia Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Is December your hottest month or January? February It doesn't really start to warm up where I live up until January. Edited December 16, 2016 by Melissa in Australia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It's in the teen's and sort of snowing. Mostly it's just cold. lol, I got up and peeked outside to double check and it is actually snowing out and the roads and my car are all under a blanket of snow. And it's got colder.

StaceyinLA Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Disgusting. Rainy, high in the 70s. Tomorrow the high is 46 (also with 90% chance of rain). Nothing like good ole' Louisiana Christmas weather. Where's the puke emoji when you need it? Edited December 17, 2016 by StaceyinLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It was snowing when I woke up. Now it is a wintry mix. Hoping it stops soon as I have errands to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Snowing here. 23 F (-5 C) grrr It's supposed to stop by the afternoon and warm up. Hopefully everything melts. I wanted to go shopping, but at the moment that's not looking like it will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholastica Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Dropping temps, possible freezing rain, maybe some snow tonight. Got stuck in a massive ice event in our state yesterday picking up ds from college. We had to get a hotel room for the night halfway. There were students who left before us and took 12 hours to get to the same city we live in, which is only 150 miles from the school. It was terrifying and I truly feel for all the people who were in wrecks and injured. I barely slept last night in the hotel because, every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing the cars sliding and all the wrecks and my heart would start racing. I never want to do that again. I know of someone who left the city we spent the night in at 11:00 am and was still stuck in traffic at 9:40, miles from home. It's only a 100 mile trip. Ugh. I am so over the weather in this part of the country. We got up at 5 and the ice had melted so we booked it out of there ahead of the falling temps and freezing rain. Feeling incredibly grateful to all the family and friends who prayed us home safely and the amazingly kind staff at the fast food place and the hotel. They were so wonderful. Edited for spelling.

I'm so glad you stopped and made it home safely! Ice -the worst! Well then there is the time when you have to ask a passenger if they can see the side of the road in a snow storm...

HS Mom in NC Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 60/38 Clear and sunny.We've had highs in the mid 70s all week and the week before and everyone is tired of this recurring summer. We'd like to get out of shorts and flip flops for a while because our summers are so intense and long. We live here for the winters and we're not getting much in the way of winter yet. Lack of snow in the mountains means less water in our reservoirs so we'll have to use ground water which isn't all that abundant. We didn't get much snow either last year or the year before-I forget which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 21 degrees, got six inches of snow last night, bucked snow drifts this morning to take the team to launch their subscale rocket since it nearly still. All three launches were picture perfect. We may get a little more snow tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) It was -26 C, but it's warmed up to -10 C thanks to a Colorado low! Thank you so much!!!! Edited December 17, 2016 by wintermom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangtarah Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 6 degrees here, with -13 wind chill. Icy, snowy roads. Not fun when you have to get out in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 temps are in the teens with negative wind chill. It has been snowing all day. Yesterday was an ice storm that closed down most of the city. It took me 40 minutes to drive a normal 8 minute in-town route. Cars were sliding everywhere, some streets are still icy. The university even postponed their scheduled commencement until Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trulycrabby Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Local mets say we will be under a tornado watch later tonight, then we are under a winter weather advisory for sleet or freezing rain early tomorrow morning. It's currently 66F, and the low tomorrow morning is expected to be 26F. Good times ahead! :zombie: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Cold. So very cold. Zero degrees. My furnace has been running practically all day. The weird thing is that the past two days it was in the mid fifties and sunny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Single digits (F) with way below negative wind chill. Freezing drizzle yesterday. Snow today. Real Christmas weather! Edited to add: Kids out in it twice today to play. They're thrilled with the snow! I should have made chili in the slow cooker this morning. Perfect for this weather!

Guest Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Miserable. -25 to -30 tonight and snow drifts that still need shoveled. My FL friends think it's hilarious to remind me how nice it is there. They don't realize how truly dangerous these conditions can be.

Granny_Weatherwax Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I was driving cross country and the weather varied greatly. It was 60 degrees this morning with drizzling rain. I drove through falling temps, fog, rain, flurries, and clear skies all to arrive home to -5 degrees and snow that began 5 minutes after we arrived.
