How's the Weather Today?

[MiniDave]

Snowing here......

[MPlayle]

Cold, wet, rainy - car reported 40*F at 3:30 pm.

[MiniDave]

35* here, headed for 20......

[gr8kornholio]

50's day and cloudy, going to be 27 by Friday morning but then warming back up to 60's during the day

[John Gervais]

Raining and windy -

[MiniDave]

Went down to 9° last night (-13° C) but it's already bounced back to 19 now, might hit 30 before we're done......Sunday it's supposed to be back up to 54°, good day to move a car into the shop. Anytime it's above freezing it's a good day in winter - to me. Those single digit days hurt......

Jan and Feb are our worst months, it will be cold, grey, gloomy, damp and in general just miserable. Good time to go to the islands, mon......

During these cold months we keep the bird feeder and bird bath full, and we have a heater in the bath. I forgot that they need water to drink in winter too, we'll see the squirrels up there drinking as well as the little birdies.

I noticed our hawk has been around again - we used to worry about the Pups but now that they're 12lbs or so, I think they're safe. Wouldn't mind if Mr. Hawk fattened up on some squirrel meat tho......

[MPlayle]

Even at 12lbs, I would still be concerned about the hawks thinks the pups might be "lunch".

My parents' two Affens at 8-10lbs still attracted the hawks' attention.  The hawks in their neighborhood had been known to snatch other small dogs even being walked on lease.

Dropping towards freezing here, but did see the sun peaking out.  I can do cold, just don't like the grey cloudy hazy sky. 

[MiniDave]

I can do the cold too, but the damp and grey does get me down. Today we have bright sunshine and its all the way up to 29 now....but it still feels really cold.

[MPlayle]

We got snow in San Antonio, Texas last night.  Still on the ground this morning - about 1/2" to 1".  Melting in the bright sun this morning.

We got snow in San Antonio, Texas last night.  Still on the ground this morning - about 1/2" to 1".  Melting in the bright sun this morning.

Well snow happens about once every decade (or greater) in San Antonio.

[MPlayle]

Online news reports were saying the last snow was about 1987.

There have been "snows" in the nearby hill-country much more recently, but a long time since San Antonio officially had snow.

[Willie_B]

An inch of snow then rain so it's mostly gone.

[MiniDave]

Well, we got about 2" of snow Sunday just in time to have a white Christmas, then last night it started again although it's very fine and light snow, we have about an inch down now and I doubt it will go much more - the real bad news is the 4* F (-16C) temperatures! Much too cold to work in the shop, I can run the heater but it will take a couple of hours to get it warm enough that the tools don't freeze to my hands.....I may wait a few days and see if it warms up again. Forecast says low teens till Thursday when it's supposed to get up to the low 30's again, but then down into the low teens again for the weekend. Yep, it's winter in Kansas!

The red birds are grateful for the full feeder and unfrozen bird bath right now...........I may have to fill the feeder again by the end of the day and I just filed it yesterday. Got to keep my friendly bug eaters alive for spring!

Ever notice how when suburbanites want to show how much snow they got they take pics of their patio furniture?

[gr8kornholio]

Always.  LOL.  It's just cold here, and a little wet but no snow or ice.  Going to be cold all the way through the new year.  Need it to warm up so I can replace the carburetor on my truck.  Getting rid of the old worn out asian one and replacing with a weber.  Was also going to clean the motor and reseal the valve cover gasket, but I don't have a shop or a heated space so I need it a little warmer than mid 30's 

[MiniDave]

Whew! 1* (-17* C) today going for a high of 14* (-10* C)...................Hey Canada! Shut the damn door!

[MiniDave]

Well, it's warming up a bit, it will be all of 24* tomorrow when Dan is here putting the headliner and windshields in Stan's car, if he could have delayed a couple of days it's supposed to be in the mid-40's by Monday......

Weather app on my phone says it's sunny and 10* right now (-12*C) - they got the 10 part right, but it's a long ways from sunny......

[MiniDave]

13* and snowing, and I'm down with the flu......oh well........nothing to do but watch football and listen to the dogs wrestle over a chew toy.......oops, I forgot - NO TV!

[BruceK]

Sorry to hear you're ill Dave.  Hope you feel better soon. 

[BruceK]

NO TV!

Amazon can bring you one as soon as tomorrow!

[MiniDave]

Well todays temp is 6* headed for -4*, tomorrows high 5* and low of -3*............loverly.

Watching the boys outside reminds me of those lizards in the desert - standing with one leg up - only in Neo's case two paws up, one front, one back   ;D

Took my temp just now, 101*, third day in a row and shows no sign of abating. Neck hurts, eyes burning, head feels like a clamp around it being tightened, every joint hurts like hell......more loverly.....I can't remember ever being this sick this long.

Just checked again......102.9*

[94touring]

You should go outside to cool off!

[BruceK]

Hey Dave have you gone to a doctor yet? This season's flu is nothing to mess around with. 

[MiniDave]

tomorrow if I'm not better

[gr8kornholio]

It sounds like you got the worse version, agree with Bruce, don't mess around with it.   

My 13 yr old had a mild version over the break, but we didn't realize it till 5 days in.  He only had minor fever 99/100 every now and then.  Just was very tired.  He was the same way about a month ago and that turned out to just be allergy congestion.
