The temperature here hasn't been above 0°F (-18°C) since last Friday. we've had a frostbite warning all day.
But it's finally warming up enough that it can snow...

In England it's been solid rain for a month.

Here, it's been raining since last year.

<huff> 16 inches easily (that's 41 cm for you anti-Imperialists out there) now that the blizzard that just hit the Northeast US has ended. Thank gods I took advantage of an idea my brother-in-law mentioned, and parked our car at the street end of the driveway instead of the house end; that meant I only had to dig a path to the car and then the next eight feet or so to the street instead of digging out the entire freaking driveway. As a result it only took me two hours over my lunch to dig us out instead of three or more.
Also, it would appear someone complained about the half-assed job of plowing we got after the last snowstorm (barely one line wide, with six feet of snow out from the curbs on either side). This time we got a pickup with a plow do the first pass, and then the huge dumptruck with the monster plow made four or five passes, perfectly clearing out the entire width of the street. And just incidentally building a great defensive wall to protect the end of the driveway from invading Huns. Too bad we have no Huns but had a need to leave the house eventually.

Man, sounds like that woud have made a great Calvinball field, assuming aa gathering of people energetic enough for a game.
I don't think I mentioned being in the hospital (i got burns on my lower legs) but was dischartged in time to get beack before the snow started, so yay? Though apparently it's only a break in the storm and more expected here in the Boston area starting anytime now up until 8pm, so our own positions are still being firtified in case any Huns are feerling sneaky after skipping over you away down south in Joizey

Man, I'm getting tired of all of the heat. Record high temperatures today across Southern California, including here. Remember back when winter used to be cold?
I think I'm going to head off to the beach now to cool down.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - classicdrogn - 02-27-2026
I'll take ten or twenty degrees (Freedom) off your hands if you like. It's been pretty bloody cold in the northeast this year, to go with getting significant snow for the first time in about twenty years.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 02-27-2026
Just double-checked the forecast here for tomorrow.
The expected high is 0°C.
The expected low is 0°F.
How am I supposed to dress for that?
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - classicdrogn - 02-27-2026
Warmly, I hope. Having no temperature is no time to dress like the Emperor either way.

A week after we got a foot and a half, followed by another two inches two days later, it's about 75% melted away thanks to several bright sunny days in the upper 40s F. And today is supposed to reach the high 50s. Not complaining, except for not having more winter days like that over the past month.
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 03-10-2026
We have an orange alert for tomorrow. (Yellow means disruptions are possible, orange means disruptions are virtually guaranteed, red means life-threatening weather.)
Freezing rain, starting this evening, falling for up to 24 hours.

Meanwhile, here in NJ, the first lack of complaints we've had in a month or more -- it's been in the 70s F the last two days, and today it's supposed to hit the 80s. And it's brilliantly sunny with clear blue skies.

Well, they've closed the schools today. That's the first time that's happened in Ottawa all winter.
And the police are advising to avoid all non-essential travel. even the trains are affected.
Some folks are calling this an ice storm. (The 1998 ice storm crippled the city for days, and the 2023 did some lasting damage, too. The power lines are buried in my neighbourhood, but the high-capacity lines from the generating stations to the transformer yards aren't, so if I lose power, so does everyone else and we won't get it back for a while.)
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 03-11-2026
Looks like we dodged the worst of the ice... so far. (head less than 80km south and things are horrid. They're only bad here.)
RE: Complaining about the weather (and related), 2025 - robkelk - 03-12-2026
Well, I dodged the bullet, but a lot of others didn't.
Hundreds of thousands without power, more school closures in Quebec following storm
