Up until yesterday we have had some record warmth which is like 60's for us here in PA. Now today it feels like a typical January day in PA. It's only about 25 out today...It's been a crazt winter. We have had this warm weather and now all of a sudden it's gettin normal?? Still not even a coating of snow up here!!

The weather heres been pretty mad too! Over christmas it wasnt that cold, but now its getting colder! and the winds getting wild! lol A tree in my front gardens been blown half down and it only a matter of time before it goes,(well they say 70mph winds tonight so by the morning my car will be under a tree!) My aunties tree has almost fell and had to be cut down! Hers was a massive conifer! Its supposed to get as low as -6% soon then we are supposed to have the hottest summer to date?!?! Wacky!! But thats global warming for you! lol

It is really cold for us here now. The temps are down at night into the teen digits lately. I hate cold weather with a passion too. I chalk the weather strangeness up to global warming and the polar ice cap. I think it will continually be changing from year to year till our spring winds up in the summer months and so on.

[cowboysbride]

It is pretty cold here too now...highs in the 30's during the day's lows in the teens at night...and the WIND.....ahhhhhhhh. I have resorted to long skirts and Eric's knee socks and boots! LMAO....yeah I'm sexy! I have thermals he bought me for Christmas...I may be using them before long!

That was what it was here today (with wind chill factors making it feel like (-22F). I couldn't get into my car this morning because the door locks were frozen solid. Thank goodness we have an outdoor plug and a hair dryer that travels LOL

They were cautioning people to take it easy on the road because at these temps, even our snow tires are as hard as hockey pucks and do not grip the road.

It's already warming up ..... and we are looking forward to it being a balmy -8C (17F) tomorrow.

I've seen that conversion chart before, but it still makes me laugh!! LOL

Our weather has been pretty wacky. Typically our winters average highs in the 50s with a few cold fronts here and there. We just had a big one though. Today we warmed up to 38. The last few days have been freezing and below. Tomorrow we are supposed to warm up to the 40s though and then be in the 50s through the weekend.

We had freezing ice on Monday which made driving horrible,and snow with heavt wind the past 2 days, I think one day last week it was like 60 outside now it is 18

[AnnaJ]

I'm in eastern Iowa, and it's been well below zero (5-10 below) here the past two mornings. I've got a massive icicle hanging from my car's rear-view mirror lol.

But around here, that's not really exceptional. There are spells like this every winter, it seems.

According to weather.com, the next ten days it's not supposed to be quite as cold, but it will inch above freezing only once or twice.

LOL we had FREEZING RAIN, then it obviously turned to ice, jeesh I need to go to bed lol I just noticed what I posted made no sense

[ladymelissa]

I love the conversion chart! LOL

[katieandalex]

Yeah this winter has been really weird....Alex and I were watching the weather channel and saw that they were getting ice storms in California...and I'm like "Aren't we worried about global warming...or did that change?" LOL!

[rainbowtreat]

I can join in in saying the weather has for sure been strange this winter. I live in New Hampshire and we just now got our winter. It has been in the 60's for the most part of the last couple of months. Then over the weekend we got snow and ice and it was -2 when I took the kids to school yesterday. I am used to mound and mound of snow by now. And it seems a little warmer when there is snow on the ground. My kids have been waiting for snow but now that we have it is is covered by a layer of ice so it is not like they can go play. Just as long as it is gone by mid spring I will be ok.

[woohoo2me]

we had our first snow storm 4 days ago. hello its january!! should have had it a while ago, and i still havent had the need for a coat yet, just my trusty sweater.

[countrygirl]

It's raining today. I love the rain. I love driving in it, I love playing in it, I love watching and hearing it. Did I mention, I love the rain?
