Winter is definitely here. Are you freezing yet?

[Coyotl]

Fortunately, I'm not in Bismarck, ND (above).
But, it is very cold, threatening pipes freezing, etc.

Outside, it is beautiful a frozen winter wonderland.

What's up around the country? Are you freezing?

[GP6971]

1. Will be in the teens tonite and tomorrow night here in western WA. n/t

[lostincalifornia]

2. see no global warming

[niyad]

3. winter is not officially here until the 21st., but I am, officially, FREEZING.

http://www.krdo.com/dynamic-images/transient/image/cosp/14750516

low tonight of minus 2, minus7 sunday night, high today was about 5. you can have it if you like.

[Skittles]

4. low of 15 tonight here in Texas

[ChisolmTrailDem]

8. I'm in Bedford (DFW), 26°F now (Brrrr!) but down to 18°F tonight. n/t

[Aerows]

23. Please send it our way

It's hot and humid here on the gulf coast.

[dixiegrrrrl]

48. Temps dropped 25 degrees in 4 hours in my lil slice of southerly heaven.

Pushing 80 this am, I had to turn on A/C, humid as could be.
Then the rain band moved thru, and temps dropped like a rock.
I have the heat on now.
Tomorrow's high....47.
Certainly nothing worth mentioning compared to most of the country,
but
I tend to appreciate "normal" seasons when the temps are consistent from week to week, not to mention day to day.

[Aerows]

68. We got colder here, too

Yesterday, hot as hell. This morning, it was around 40. I love it!

[ananda]

36. It'll be down to the mid twenties tonight here in Austin.

So, yes, that's plenty cold.

I stocked up on wonderful hot soup ingredients this morning.
I'm cocooning this weekend.

[Galileo126]

5. here, in the High desert of SoCal

It is definitely here. Temps down to 14F (i know its not that big of a deal for for the Northern tier), but natural gas is beau-coup expensive in my neck of the woods.

Cool thing tho, the desert rabbits (cottontails) are out in full force. Always makes me laugh!!
I've got 9 or 10 feeding in the backyard. And the coyotes haven't noticed. Silly wildlife...



g-

[Cha]

60. Sounds nice.. I like the high desert.. such unique beauty.

[Aerows]

6. We had 25 F weather last week

Pipes are already wrapped, plants already in. Now it's fricken 60, raining like a faucet running and I'm praying for a cool breeze again.

[Warpy]

7. It's nicer here than it is east of here

It snowed most of the day yesterday, a warning for everybody on the other side of the Rockies to brace themselves. We get three inches of snow, they get clobbered.

We're staying in the double digits at night, 11F predicted toward morning, so we're still relatively balmy in the high desert.

[spockeye]

9. 6 degrees. Feels like -5, Colorado Springs. n/t

[jaysunb]

10. Chilly in Cali tonight ! (Southern)

must be in the low fifties now w/ rain coming. Brrrrr

[Cha]

61. Yeah,

brrr.. lol

[catnhatnh]

11. Actually no....Southern New Hampshire

Observed high of 50 degrees today. Currently 38 dropping to 29 overnight with 1-3 inches of snow.High of 34 tomorrow...

[longship]

12. Snow for two weeks, then it melted two days ago.

Today, it's fucking cold. Going to be in low single digits at night this week, unusual for Michigan this time of year. We've got those wonderful lakes to keep us warm. Then January hits and temps plunge.

I am in very rural West Michigan. Mostly dirt roads here, actually great in the winter as long as they're plowed, which they usually are. I don't mind the cold. What I dread is big snow. It traps me for days until I can get plowed out. Stressful if I don't have enough food, or power goes out.

No power? No heat! No running water! No nothing except for possibly burning the furniture in the fireplace to keep from freezing.

[Cha]

62. Good grief, that sounds like the

real old days.

Did you get your fridge, longship?

[longship]

67. I live in a 150 year old one room schoolhouse.

It's been renovated so it's comfortable. But yes, it's kind of old time. Out here in the country, it's water wells instead of city water. When the power goes out, the pump doesn't work. Thankfully the power company here is very good at getting things fixed.

Fridge was delivered Wed. They thankfully took the old one with them. It was heavier that two dead preachers.

It's nice to be able to cook again.

[Cha]

72. Good! That should

keep you warmer!

It actually sounds quite wonderful~

[Aerows]

13. Send it down South, please!

we need some cooler temperatures.

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. bizarre 80 degrees in Raleigh today....high of mid 30s on Sunday.

[Aerows]

16. Warm here

but we had a freak blast of arctic blow through last week. I'd settle for something consistent. I kind of like cold weather and snow. You know where we are though, MS delta on the Gulf Coast so cold weather is a joy and relief from oppressive freaking heat and humidity.

[polly7]

15. I'm not in your country,

but it's cooold here today. -30C, -39C with the wind chill. This is the first night my dog wanted to cut our run short, poor guy. He's part Great Pyrenees and has a downy undercoat but still doesn't care for it much. Of course he's used to being inside a lot lately, so that doesn't help him with it at all.

[Aerows]

18. That sounds so wonderful

considering 90% humidity and 90+ temperatures that I could just about cry thinking about how wonderful it would be to actually need heat.

Sorry it's rough for you guys, and a Great Pyranees is a fur bundle (great dogs, though). Send it to us, PLEASE. We got 25F for about 10 seconds. Now it's hot as hell again.

[polly7]

22. Ohhh, sorry Aerows. That humidity would do me in, not to mention the high temps.

I'll do my best to send you at least half the cold weather we're expecting! Otherwise, you could just come on up and I'll take you skiing behind my Dad's snowmobile. Wheeeeee! I've only seen of a couple broken ribs so far doing it but you're pretty agile so you should be fine

[Aerows]

24. It sounds like paradise to actually NEED heat

and I might partake on the snowmobile excursion, or I might just delight in throwing snowballs

[polly7]

44. Ha ha ... well that's ok too!

I actually love the snow and cold and really do feel for those who have high temps and humidity all the time. Of course, when I get old that may sound like heaven! But come on up - mi casa es su casa! I've even got some spare Haley Hansons (the unofficial uniform for women, men, children and even babies alike in the winter here. You'd think we were a bunch of weirdo's if you saw us all down at the rink on Sunday mornings for our weekly pancake breakfast - jeans, and our one piece Haley's with no tops - cause those things are hot!)

[Bobcat]

17. Maybe

Not yet. It's 36 here in suburban Houston. Wind makes it feel colder. Might get down to 32 later tonight - maybe not.

[Thirties Child]

19. 70 at 10:43 pm in Atlanta

[RebelOne]

73. Today, Saturday, at 4:45 p.m. my outside themometer is reading 48 degrees.

I am in Woodstock just northwest of Atlanta. In no way am I complaining because I love cold weather. I would rather have 30s and 40s in the winter than 90s in the summer.

[Thirties Child]

75. Absolutely agree

A cold winter is better than a hot, humid, suffocating summer. Sigh.

[William769]

20. Some of us are still looking for fall!

[Aerows]

21. It's hot as hell here in the Gulf Coast

and humid to the tune of 90%. I'd love some more winter weather to come our way instead of it just pouring rain, still being hot and stifling because there is rain everywhere.

Snow is so much better than rain, I'd take it any day!

[William769]

43. I am in S. W. Florida.

The humidity sucks! So does not ever having any snow.

[scarletwoman]

25. Yeah, getting a bit chilly here. -20 or so tonight.

High tomorrow around -10 to -5. East Central Minnesota.

[Texasgal]

26. 20's in Austin, TX

We are beside ourselves!!! BRRRRRRR!

Keep warm!

[XRubicon]

27. Nope... almost 11 pm and its 75 degrees...

Send the cool breeze this way.

[Aerows]

33. I want it too

It's hot as hell here, and humid to boot. Send that cold air our way.

[ohheckyeah]

28. I'm in Virginia and it was 71 degrees

here today. We're supposed to have an ice storm Sunday. Crazy stuff.

[Skip Intro]

29. Coastal SC. I think we came close to 80 today.

I'm hoping we see some snow this season.

[Aerows]

34. Exactly.

Please send it to the Southeast. We would appreciate it.

[Skip Intro]

37. Looks like we have a roller-coaster coming up here next week.

Warm, stormy, cold, warm again, stormy again, cold again.

[Aerows]

38. I have the air conditioner on

In December.

[Skip Intro]

41. Oh yeah, had mine on too.

Was out in shorts today (I'm sure my neighbors hope it gets colder soon too, lol).

[grasswire]

30. was out and about today in 9 degree windchill...

...and felt cold all day even after getting home.

Whenever I am suffering from relative cold and wind, I consider my grandmother who homesteaded in Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. Then I don't feel quite so sorry for myself.

[sarisataka]

31. The Twin Cities

are at -5 at ten, windchill is -23.

[ChazII]

32. Cold weather wimp here

in Arizona. In my part of the valley it will be 34 for the low. The plants are covered and we finally put the heat on last week. Rain is predicted for tomorrow afternoon and evening.

[Coyotl]

35. My friends in the Valley lost tomatoes last night.

They have a bit of elevation compared to Phoenix.

[Laffy Kat]

39. Boulder county, Colorado.

Drove home from work tonight in 3 degrees. Lows will be in the negatives tonight. Lookin' like a hard winter ahead.

[Cha]

63. I remember my Colorado winters.. and one

time in 1991 driving up to Boulder in the snow. By the time I got there it was covered like a Swiss Mountain Village. My battery died from cold on the way back and I had to have my boss come and get me. Good times.

[Coyotl]

40. Winter Storm Cleon: State-by-State Impacts

http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/winter-storm-cleon-update-20131202

Another dose of snow and dangerous ice is on the way for several states in the South and Midwest Friday due to Winter Storm Cleon, which has already left hundreds of thousands without power in its wake.

[MFM008]

42. 15 degrees

in Washington state...... due tonight and the next couple of days before we get back to our normal
rain and 40s tuesday or so. Very unusual.

[Grammy23]

45. Nearly 80 degrees in NW Florida today!!

So hot we had the A/C going today to help get rid of the humidity and cool this place down a little. I can't believe it's December and I am still wearing shorts and tee shirts. We had a cool snap last week, but it didn't last long. Someone who lives a few blocks from me has banana plants in their front yard and those got nipped by the cooler weather. But today was ridiculous. Warm, muggy day. It's a buzz kill to the holiday spirit around here!!

[tularetom]

46. Snow expected tonight in the CA gold rush country

Last night, 15 degrees.

[Douglas Carpenter]

47. I would not say it is freezing here - it sure would shock people if it was

Last edited Sat Dec 7, 2013, 07:06 AM - Edit history (1)

84°F



Saipan - U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

[2naSalit]

49. Up here on the divide it's definitely freezing

at 7,000ft it's -20F and got all the way up to 0F this afternoon... it was even colder the last two nights. I'm not even thinking of starting up the vehicle until it's at least +10F... they just don't like to start in the cold no matter how much alcohol you add to the tank. And it's been snowing but I could see the moon through the cloud earlier when I went out for a stroll. Hope we get back up above 0F during the day soon, I don't like to ski down to town when it's this cold and I need to get my mail.

Edited to add: Looks like it might be subsiding in the next couple days, maybe...

[Retrograde]

50. Supposed to get down to freezing in the Bay Area n/m

[Kelvin Mace]

51. Currently 69 degrees

here in High Point, NC.

So far we have had one night below freezing since Fall began.

[Tresalisa]

52. East Side of Washington State here!

Winter weather hitting us awfully early this year. Low 'teens today until early afternoon, and it only got into the 20s, not much above that now, plus the wind is blowing tonight.

I'm not looking forward to my utility bill this month!

[Shrike47]

53. 24 degrees right now and snowed 6 - 8 inches today.

NOT what we expect in early December, but our cats are fascinated. They don't remember the last time it snowed (they're 1 1/2) and they pounce on snowflakes.

[Blue_In_AK]

54. It's been pretty warm here

in Anchorage for the past few days - low 30s, freezing rain. We're expecting fog tomorrow and Sunday, then clearing and a little cooler, maybe mid 20s.

It was in single digits last week.

[countryjake]

55. Yes, we're frozen...It is 18 degrees out right now...

may get down to 15 degrees by morning, single digits with the wind chill.

Luckily, no precip this week, as of yet.

All of our taps are dripping, but I've had frozen drains before, so will worry about that all night long.

I hope everyone without a home finds shelter tonight.

[truedelphi]

56. We are having the normal mid January weather system right now.

Northern California. I'll be waking up to one to two inches of the heavenly.

Rather exciting.

Step daughter is in Placerville, romping in it there tonight.

[B Calm]

57. I don't know who touched the Well Digger's Ass first,

but it's colder than the Well Digger's Ass in Indiana!

[malokvale77]

58. 18 degrees in my backyard in Dallas

My big oak tree split down the middle yesterday. Half of it is laying on the roof. We were without power for most of the day. Thankfully the fireplace kept the temperature inside bearable.

I'm waiting for the big thaw so i can deal with that tree.

[Coyotl]

65. Bummer. So far, the wet snow has been limited, so the trees are not breaking in Oregon.

But, this is about as cold as it ever gets here.

[Cha]

59. I experienced those low temperatures in Upstate New York

where I use to live. And, the beautiful white frozen wonderlands there and in Colorado.

I'm retired and on Kaua'i now and like talking about it in the past!

Stay Warm, ya'll

[Katashi_itto]

64. New Orleans here, it hit the 40s last night...

The Natives looked like they were clothed for the Antarctic.

[LWolf]

66. YES.

It's 3 degrees out there...will reach a high of 9, and get to -16 tonight.

[jwirr]

69. NE Minnesota here -25 without the wind chill factor this morning. We finally got the plastic up on

our big window.

[Coyotl]

70. Yesterday, everywhere in 4 states, MT, MN, ND, and SD, it was BELOW ZERO Farenheit.

Along with much of the adjacent states. This is January weather, very unusual for early December.

[fizzgig]

71. we have single digits and teens for a few more days yet

northern colorado will start warming up tuesday with 40s by friday. of course, i don't trust the forecast that far out.

[onethatcares]

74. just finished

cutting the lawn. I think it's about 80 here in sunny st Petersburg fl.

Hopefully that was the last cutting.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

76. It was just a bit below zero all day,

so I actually considered zipping up my jacket, but it's not hat weather yet.

[DesertFlower]

77. 53 in phoenix. that's cold for here.

normal is 68.

[tsuki]

78. Panhandle Florida, AC on. Very humid, but then

am on a barrier island.

[sorefeet]

79. Montana 25 below this morning

Pipes were froze all day, I had two heaters on them, they finally came loose at 5:00. No breakage so it's good. 20 below tonight.

[Coyotl]

80. Lots of faucets running overnight in Oregon.

Dipping into the teens again on the Coast, colder over the mountains.
Many homes here are not built for these temperatures.
The plumbers are likely making lots of money.

[Liberal_in_LA]

81. yes, freezing in LA

[GreenPartyVoter]

82. Winter has arrived in Maine.

[IDemo]

83. 6 degrees currently in Boise, -4 the expected low

the motorcycle languishes in the garage on the battery tender, waiting for a heat wave in the 30's so I can resume riding.

[countryjake]

84. Foothills of the North Cascades 9 degrees right now

It hasn't been quite this cold up here for some time. Thankfully, there is hardly any wind, at all.

And yes, we are freezing!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

85. Not bad in Chicago

It's colder than normal...mid-20s, but no snow or ice.

I should add, last Saturday was 57 degrees!

[taterguy]

Wintry weather hit the Pacific Northwest and state of Oregon on Friday, Dec. 6, 2013. Snow accumulated up to 9 inches in the mid-Willamette Valley and hit the Oregon Coast and Portland metro area to a lesser degree as well.

[Bluenorthwest]

89. First time I've ever dealt with sub zero temps, this morning, Willamette Valley Oregon.

Lots of snow, ice, huge heating bill growing in my mind......

[Coyotl]

90. The firewood supply just shrunk a ton, likely driving prices higher soon.

I'm on the coast, inland a bit. Still above zero, barely, here. A lot of wood is being burned this week alone, and winter has barely begun. Today, the warm up begins, albeit slowly.

[Bluenorthwest]

91. No fireplace, no wood stove....

just giant power bills looming....
