BradG Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Not surprising really, the sun is pretty quiet at the moment, less sun spots means cooler weather. Even summer down here in Melbourne has been pretty mild. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 About 8 inches in my neighborhood today. No wind (which is good) , mostly an accumulation of powdery stuff, no big fluffy snowflakes. Kids and dogs are out havin' fun today . Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 This has been the coolest summer in Brisbane since I got here in 2001. December though April is usually hell with high humidity that hangs around from February through April. Barely had reason to complain this year. I don't miss Michigan's 'Lake-effect' snows at all. Driving truck on slippery roads... used to tighten my shoulders into knots. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I can hear it sleeting or freezing rain against the windows here. We only have ice, I'd sooner have snow, but they don't really know what to do with it here either. I moved almost 2 years ago from an area in PA that had more than 24" the other week. Glad I didn't have to clear that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 We just received a winter storm advisory for Monday. 15-25cms expected before it moves on. This Winter thing is starting to lose its appeal now. Give me Spring, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Officially snowing in my town. 2nd time this Winter. We are at a solar minimum cycle, but some parts of Texas are getting a decent amount of snow. J.C. and LSP_Matt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'm not sure I've shoveled more than I have this year in the last decade +. So far we have had at least 3 major storms with 6"-10"/15-25cm of snow each. With temps lately in the 0f to -10f range its it's not going anywhere either. Our mailbox is of standard US height, around neck/chin high when standing on the street, and it looks like its about 12 or 15 inches tall.

Greif8 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 This has been a "snowy" winter in Germany and it has been quite cold the past week. I have to laugh at most of the reports of the German Weather Service though "Brutally cold temperatures awaited!" or "Catastrophic snowfall expected.", I expect to a future forecast will headline with, "Newsflash, water is wet!" haha!

LSP_Mike Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Yeah, they can't just mention: "we're going to get a lot of snow, so get ready". Everything is "Snowmageddon" but, it looks like my little down wilk shut down for today. i can't see the street. LSP_Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Snowing here right now, and very, very cold too; currently 4° F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Welcome to our world. It's been terribly cold and lots of snow here for what seems like weeks. LSP_K2, D.B. Andrus and LSP_Matt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusM Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 On 2/13/2021 at 6:14 PM, Stokey Pete said: We’ve had major inconveniences from the half a centimetre of heavy snow that fell on our roads. Anything more than a millimetre brings about standstills in the UK. We get sensationalist Tabloid newspaper headlines proclaiming record low temperatures, and storms are given catchy headline names. It’s quite amusing actually, especially when I speak to friends in parts of the world where snow is measured in FEET! Brings about standstills in England. We cope with it rather better up here as we get more practice. Beautiful powder last week and -6C at midday. My dogs had a ball jumping around in it.

Phartycr0c Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I love the way our press here in the UK pick and choose the "appropriate scale for the ir agenda. Temperatures at the hot end, its Fahrenheit, at the cold end centigrade Snowfall centimeters not inches, flooding Feet! All to sensationalise. What is funny though is whenever it does snow in the UK the vast majority completely forget how to drive. LSP_Matt and GusM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I just saw a newsreport on Belgian TV. Talking about temp of - 35° C. We've had a cold period last week with temp of -10°C. That was cold enough.Can't imagine how -35°C feels like ! By the end of the week mild weather in Belgium with + 17°C. Much better !

Out2gtcha Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 RN, it may be the coldest Ibe ever seen it here in the middle of the US: as I type this it is currently -25f here in Omaha. Dangerous to say the least BiggTim and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
