"Canadian Smalltalk" (weather - all nations included!) Thread

[Swatopluk]

We had a spell of spring-like weather in january with temperatures of +7-9 degrees, sunshine and twittering birds. At the end of last week, the spell broke, and we have been having -15 to -20 and heavy snowfall since then.

We did not drop that far (and the snow is only of the alibi kind) but essentially same story. Wind still like poor man's x-ray

[Opsa]

The windows are open today! We're headed for the mid 60's F.

I have missed having air in the house.

-33C at the site yesterday morning, and probably the same today.  Taking a late start, because the equipment gets a bit cranky about starting at those temperatures.

[Swatopluk]

Temperatures are below zero but it feels much much colder that the thermometer will admit. Even only light wind creates the impression at the moment that we are below -20°C while we are somewhere 0 and -10°C (the latter during the night).
Don't know the reason. Can't be humidity, it hasn't rained or snowed for quite a long time.

[Aggie]

I don't like to think about the wind chill. I'd not need to be specifying the temperature scale if that was involved, I think.

Here in the mouth of the Caribbean it's starting to heat, 28C for today (and the humidity is fortunately ~50%). I can't complain, but give it a few more weeks (and a higher humidity) and I'll be complaining.

[Opsa]

We're in the mid 50's F here today, windy with alternating sunshine and rain showers.

Yesterday I saw the first grackle of the season, but have not yet heard the spring peepers.

[Swatopluk]

The wind is not even strong.

Weather looks good but I have not yet been outside

You just need some hardening-off.  Come to Alberta; after a week of spending time outdoors at -25 or -30, ten below feels like a warm spring day.

You take my job, I'll go visit Zono.   Looking forward to the temperatures getting up to +40C this summer, back home (not humid, and we have very nice lakes handy to cool off in).

[Swatopluk]

No problem if it is dry cold.

Weather actually quite nice today and I could go out without cap and with a light jacket.

[Aggie]

Hmph.  You just freeze-dry.  I'm not sure that it's possible to have significant moisture at those temperatures; most of it just gives up and falls out.

[Swatopluk]

But not all of it. And at those temperatures one really notices even small differences

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

You take my job, I'll go visit Zono.

Just let me know 

28C still.

[Swatopluk]

Looks about the same as yesterday

[Opsa]

Mid 60's F today, slamming against a cold front. Thunderstorm and tornado warnings. Most have passed, now. It's the pre-spring roller coaster!
