This seems earlier than usual to me. Together with all those colder than -30 days we already had, which I'm sure were also early, perhaps the end of winter will also arrive early. :fingerscrossed: |

Re: Winter 2017-18
It was 4C+ all day yesterday, 9C this morning when I woke up. I have the heating off and windows open. It’s been pouring rain too.
Very odd after our Colder-than-the-Arctic life for the past couple of weeks, but I’ll take it. Tomorrow will be “fun†if the forecast is correct: back to -18 plus snow overnight. |
Re: Winter 2017-18
-30, went out at 4 and plugged the van in.

Shocked at the sight of the deck this morning.
I mean, I'm used to a January thaw but compared to yesterday:ohmy: It really is like winter is over. :lol: |

On the way to work the radio announced there is no part of Saskatchewan warmer than windchill of -40. Local weatherman Phil Darlington demonstrates how a pail of water thrown in the air at that temp turns to ice pellets before it can hit the ground:

Boring here still, normal temps and extended period of rain, seems rain for the next 7 days. |

I didn't go to Alaska specifically for that, I went so I could say I went to the Northernmost point in the US. ;) |
Re: Winter 2017-18
It seems the roads are a slippy slidey mess this evening.

Re: Winter 2017-18
We had everything going yesterday. From +12 to -12, fog, rain, ice pellets, freezing rain, snow and a flash freeze.
Yuk. |
Re: Winter 2017-18
+16 this morning. Overnight rain melted almost all the snow on the ground. Just one corner in our yard has a few patches left and the odd patch on the street.
Pretty sure there's never been so little snow 'on the ground' on this date in all the years here and it may continue until the middle of next week. :blink: Freezing rain due tonight, but no snow until Weds with all of 1-3cm predicted that day. We all know that can change of course. |
