Alaska Mom Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Upper 20's, low to mid 30's. Sunny and beautiful yesterday and we went sledding and built a huge snowman. Tonight it's supposed to snow. Pretty much the postcard verson of a white Christmas. Now the Christmas shopping in shorts, that sounds like it'd be nice, strange, but nice!! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It's about 75 degrees here in central AL. The bad thing is it's been really rainy so we can't take advantage of the warm weather to go to the park! Also central alabama but no rain, just cloudy and very hot. We have been in shorts today. I love our weather. We are suppose have temperatures in the high 20's to 30's Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbajgrow Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It's in the teens! I am wearing 2 fleece sweaters and a long sleeve shirt, with socks and slippers. I am still cold. I live in Indianapolis, and I am from Buffalo. Believe it or not it is warmer there It's snowing, but at least it is cold and pretty!

skylark Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Our weather in sunny central Florida is in the 80's. I wish it was a little cooler :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Today, 3 degrees, sunny and picturesque outside. No wind blowing :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyWImom Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 The temp. with wind chill right now is -1! And, we are supposed to get 8-10inches of snow tomorrow, with another 8-10 on Friday. We already have snow, which does make for a pretty Christmas, but I could do without the bitter cold. Also, they name the snowstorms! Like hurricanes!!! I could see if it was a freak thing, like snowing in New Orleans or Texas-whatever, but WE LIVE IN WISCONSIN!!! Hello? We get snow every winter, all through the winter-no big news here.:rant: Anyway, I am supposed to go to lunch and go shopping with a friend on Saturday-just us:party:So....please cross your fingers that all of the bad weather will be done by then, otherwise it's not going to happen for us for another month.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbalgirl Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It was in the 70s here today, and quite humid... We had shorts on and the windows open! :) Being a Yankee, it is hard to get over all the Christmas decorations out, palm trees with lights on them, and no snow or ice... I like it in a way, but miss the up north weather, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Here is a view from my front door about 5 minutes ago :001_smile: Wow! We are visiting Disneyland this week. We made it through Monday with our ponchos and but still ended up soaking wet. Today was miserable! It looks clear for the next few days though. yay! We've been seeing all the snow on TV up in the mountains around us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governess Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Here in "sunny" So Cal we are in the middle of a very cold (for us) storm. Highs in the 40s. We have a fire going and the humidifier. Tonight the snow level will be at 2000 feet which is very low, esp. for December. Usually people out here are still wearing shorts at Christmas! Honestly, November was so hot that this cold weather is a welcome change. Although it sure feels like we've gone straight from summer to winter, skipping fall entirely!

jamnkats Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) We live in the desert. It is 58 and we are having our first rain storm of the year. Do you know that one is hard pressed to even find a house with a fireplace out here???? :crying: Wondering how the weather is in other places this week before Christmas.... We just got back home after our Turkey day/annual vacation/family visit. It was 91F/32C today around noon and has cooled to 72F/22C at midnight (current time). Good to be home again. :) Edited December 18, 2008 by jamnkats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well, it's not too bad here right now. About 30 and no snow. My hubby is in NC and he said it was about 70 there today. However, my brother, the OTR driver, is heading through Donner Pass today and it's not looking so pretty there. I told him to make sure he had plenty of gas and food before heading in.

TammyinTN Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It's 35* with a high of 37* today. Cold w/ more rain moving in. How I wish it was snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Warming up finally. About 28 degrees Celcius which is lovely. A bit windy for my taste today, but whose complaining? The weather here in Perth Western Australia is Mediterranean like California- hot dry long summers, cool, wet, short winters. I love it.

Tammyla Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Not terrible today is sunny 12'F, but we're bracing for the storm sweeping across the Midwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well, it was -9 F standing temp, much colder w/the wind chill this morning. Must be going to warm up soon because they are calling for 6"-10" more inches of snow tonight. Last week we had an unusual ridiculously warm day of about 40, melted the near foot of snow on the ground, and then that night there was a wind chill advisory as the temps dropped below zero with 35 mph winds; froze the melted snow...then it snowed over the top of that! Scary driving mess those days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I am glad for the rain, because it means snow in the high country, and we are hoping to go skiing. Today it will be 53 degrees. Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elohcin Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Its freezing here! Literally. It is supposed to be 4 degrees here and in the negative range all weekend. We will have windchills in the way below zero range. When your nose hairs freeze everytime you go outside, it's cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 We had 6" of snow here yesterday in VEGAS! It's the worst snow we've ever had and boy has it made a mess out of our town! We won't make it out of the 30's today. Our normal high is 60. We're cold and boy do I hate that snow! We're just not prepared to deal with it. My kids don't even have boots or mittens. We've never needed them! :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have to amend my answer from yesterday. It's snowy. The flakes started falling at about 3AM, and we continue to get flurries this morning. It is lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Twelves inches, Traci? I'm jealous! Do you not get any major wind down there? We have, um, bare ground in some places, five feet high drifts in others... I have to amend my answer from yesterday. It's snowy. The flakes started falling at about 3AM, and we continue to get flurries this morning. It is lovely. That does sound beautiful. I said to the boys yesterday that just once in my life I want it to snow "normally" up in north Whatcom County. Snow that falls gently from the sky, a lovely sight to behold. As opposed to snow blowing about in dangerous winds, scraping out your eyeballs.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesloonybin Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It is 59 right now with some rain/drizzle and cloudy. Tomorrow they are saying 72 will be the high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 So, I'm temporarily in the "WHITE coast of Canada, eh?" We got about 10 cm of snow yesterday. It's -4. A coyote just ran through my side & front yards. He must be hungry. Our street is not plowed. Yesterday, I went with the kids to a little hill & they tobogganed like crazy, while my malamute x dog went even crazier chasing them around. Now if only she'd get the hang of pulling the sleds, we'd be really hopping, but she just stands there in her harness looking expectantly, and then starts running in circles tangling up the lines. We'll go back today after we finish schoolwork. There are rumours of a white Christmas for Vancouver this year. That would be fun. (Would it be terribly bad to say it might be nice if some of the relatives couldn't drive out to my place for dinner on Christmas Day because of the weather? Would it? Sigh. I thought so. Ok. I'll stop thinking that. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
