Transcriber Weather

[Michael]

This was the view out my front door when it was -46C. Ice fog.

[jil]

Brrrrr! And I thought it was a bit chilly here this morning at (a rather pathetic) -2C

[arboggs]

Was in the 30s F yesterday with some snow that didn't stick. But then I got up at 5am today to get my brother up for his early shift and sure enough everything was covered in snow. Luckily the stuff on the driveway was still fluffy and therefore easily moved as opposed to the crunchy ice stuff. Right now it's 26F with an expected high of 30F and snow likely all day today and tomorrow. And thus "real" winter begins in Northern Virginia.

The cardinals in the bird feeder seem real happy, though. They were using their wings to brush the snow off the seed!

16F here at 10:15 this morning.
We had about half an inch of dry snow over the weekend. A fair bit of it is still on the ground.

[Morgan]

Michael, I am guessing that is not your view in B.C. ?

[Michael]

No, that was Whitehorse in December 1996.

The coldest we had in the recent spell was -11. The record low for this area was set in Esquimalt Harbor on 1893-01-31 with a temperature of -18.9 deg C.

I see a school and at least three houses.

Woken up to at least 1" of snow. The forecast is for a max of 4C and sleet/rain all day, but then it's going to freeze overnight so tomorrow morning should be fun!

[Randi]

At least 1" of snow here to although it is supposed to stop snowing shortly.
However, the forecast is for a max of -7C.

[arboggs]

Today is icy snow day. Not gonna go out and measure but definitely a few inches. Looks like our high today will be 32F. We had a dangerous tree limb looming over the road and JUST had guys out over the weekend to get rid of it and I'm so glad because I'd be really worried today about it snapping off and falling on a car.

[Randi]

-8C here at 11:25am
We have about 3 inches of fairly dry snow, and there are still a few flakes coming down.

[jil]

A bit windy in the UK. Overnight Sunday to Monday we had storm Isha which brought gusts up to a max of 99mph. The whole country seems to have been affected so that some flights couldn't land anywhere in the UK or Ireland and ended up being diverted to different parts of Europe including as far afield as Budapest!

It wasn't too bad where I am, gusting up to 56/58 mph. It's still pretty windy, gusts to 42 mph, and then overnight Tues/Wed we're getting storm Jocelyn. This doesn't look so severe or so widespread.

As Janet mentioned above:

[Randi]

---

We had a bit over a week of consistently below-freezing temperatures.
Today, shortly after noon, the temperature is 33F.
The next few days are supposed to get a bit warmer.

[Randi]

Yesterday (25th) the high was 59F.
Quite a change from 19F on the 20th!

As the fog still lingers after lunch time, a towboat pushing barges passes underneath the Fort Pitt Bridge
on the Monongahela River and heads into the unknown on the Ohio River on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024.

Today we've got a high of 75F! Very humid sweaty. After today it will get back down to the 40s, but this is wild. The snow only just finished melting. I feel like I'm going to spend the rest of my life cringing every time someone comments on how "nice" the unseasonably warm weather is.

[pommystuart]

After a couple of days of very high 38-39c and nights around the 25C mother nature is being kind to us for a couple of days.

Today 0600 22.2 expected max 26c
For the next week 18 - 30. Possibility for rain.

[Michael]

We're expecting lots of rain. Nothing so far...

[Michael]

Why I like living in Victoria. Here's the current weather radar map. Note the how the rainshadow effect of the Olympic Mountains keeps us dry relative to the rest of Vancouver Island and the southern B.C. coast. Rainfall amount in the past 24 hours from my rain gauge: 0.0 mm.

[ggordon]

I live slightly below the southern edge of Michael's map. As of 10 AM, my rain gauge had measured 5.08 mm since Midnight.
