Jim, it doesn't sound like good weather to me. Hope the fronts meet somewhere far away from you!

Jim, releif might be on the way east as our predicted next week's weekend weather is to be in the fifties. Hope their right...
False alarm. Instead of predicting 50 degrees temps next weekend it is now down to thirty five/better tnan single digits but why get our hopes up?
The sun is out here. Temp is 19°F.
Just vertured out for a walk/temp in sun said 36 degrees but with the cold wind from the northwest it felt more like six degrees. We aren't used to this long of a cold cold spell. But, you all in the east have it much worse so I shouldn't complain and just go make chili.
We're 24 right now. A breeze has come up & it's cold.
Here in the Virginia mountains, we're still in the deep freeze. Our outside temperature about half an hour ago was only three degrees above zero. (And that's just a straight thermometer reading; I don't know what it would be if the wind chill were factored in!)
Temp here is 7°F. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick....It says we will get a few inches of snow tomorrow. Thank goodness for my electric blanket!
We were 11 degrees this morning & it's suddenly 42 as that big warm front pushes up from the south. This will be causing snow & freezing rain, hopefully just to the north of us.
I think our weather is headed East according to the National Weather report so help is on the way/our temp today is 40 degrees. Take Care.
Thanks for the encouraging news, Nina. (In the Northern Hemisphere, prevailing winds tend to blow from west to east, so a movement of weather patterns from west to east tends to be the usual scenario.)
Werner, speaking of winds direction, what we look forward to here, usually in Februray, is the Chinook wind that travels from the Rockies across the KS plains and then back again to CO and when it comes the second time, it brings us warm air and temps sometimes in the seventies. It might be below freezing before or after but still we relish those mountain back winds.
That sounds well worth looking forward to, Nina!
It stayed above freezing all night, if barely. It's 34 this morning & still raining on & off. No wind, thankfully. Salt trucks were out, but I didn't see them putting anything down on the roads. I guess they were looking for low lying spots & bridges that might freeze. Thankfully, nothing was frozen on my way in. After the past week, 34 seems absolutely balmy.
Temp here is currently 28°F. We had some light snow this morning. It may continue. Just enough to need to clear the windows of the car.
Ice on driveway and street/sunny but predicted temp tomorrow, 7 degrees/in the fifties toward the weekend. Is this weather crazy or what?
Jim, "Roller coaster" is a good way to put it!
Today was six degrees when we fetched the morning paper but help is on the way/now the fifties by the weekend. Maybe that good weather will be coming your way Jim.
We were 11 Sunday morning & 42 by lunch. Yesterday it was mid 30's with rain. Today we're dry & just stuck in the mid 20's, but we're supposed to slowly warm up. We might get close to 50 this weekend, but likely just upper 40's. Still, that would be nice.
Our weather forcaster said it was two degrees this morning. He says don't worry it will be near sixty by Saturday. See what I mean about crazy weather here.
It's -5°F here and they say it will go down to -12F later tonight. Trickle, Trickle!
If we make it to the weekend it's some glorious fifties in the forcast for then and then following week. A reprieve from our very cold January weather. We have had 3 inches of snow counting Nov, Dec and now January. Ten inches by this time last year
Yes, Nina, we desperately need a "reprieve" from this awful winter weather!
Jim, I'll hope our predicted weather pattern comes your way. I bet even the animals would welcome some fifty degree days/nights in the twenties. Sunday can you believe is to be 59 and in January. Hope it's right on schedule.
Today in the forties but still cold in the early morning feeding the birds time. Yeah, fifities on the way for the next week. Strange not to have snow.
It's 22 degrees F here and the sun is out this afternoon. That's a bit of an improvement!We still have snow on the ground.
It was 33 & sunny when I got home. I took a ride on Chip, but he wasn't happy about it since the ground is so hard. Where it's not frozen, it's slick. We had a good time, though. Not much wind, so it wasn't too cold.
Current temp here at 9:12 AM is 25°F. Tonight they predict a low of Low: -10°F.http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick....
It was 24 here this morning, but we might get into the 40's today. Below freezing again tonight & possibly into the 50's tomorrow. Heat wave! Love it!!!
Enjoy those "high" temps! I'm jealous! lol
Can you believe 59 degrees today. We'll take it. My daughter gave my husband a weather station for Christmas and it's great/tells temp and humidity inside and out. Are you familiar with these?
We only got into the mid 40's, but the sun was out. It was nice. I got some chores done, took a ride with the dogs, & generally had a nice lazy day. Marg is down in Nashville with Erin.
Nina, yes, Eddie loves his weather station. Glad you had a good day, Jim. But you must miss Marg!
Our weather station says it is sixty outside so I'm off for a walk.
Jim, isn't the mouse supposed to play when the cat is away? I think you are working while the "cat" is away. Hope our good weather gets your way soon.
Enjoy your walk, Nina!
At the risk of sounding like a rude old fogy, I'm not missing Marg nor in risk of 'playing' while The Boss is away. I pretty much did the normal, although it was nice to have the TV to watch what I want. I watched a Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman cartoon movie, an episode of Gotham & another of Constantine, all stuff Marg hates. I didn't hear a single disparaging remark about my poor taste in TV - a nice change of pace. I read when I felt like it & cooked with green peppers. The freedom & quiet was quite nice.All the dishes are done & I did some other cleaning. I just stopped in from the shop on my way out to the barn to give the horses & goats time to come in from the south field. I'll check the new cover I made for the outside spigots & fill up their water while I feed them. Marg said she should be back around 7pm.
Well, Jim, at least you've had a nice "rest". :)
Well, Jim, nice you got caught up on all your "vices" ha ha..
Can't beat this January sixty degree good for walking weather. Hope it heads your ways..
I hope so too, Nina! Thank you.
Yesterday was sixty four can you believe? Our normal January temp is thirty eight degrees but I will gladly take the latter..We are too dry; only three inches of snow and no rain either.
Nina, it's 24F degrees here and our backyard is a sheet of frozen white snow. Enjoy your "dryness". LOL
We were solidly in the 50's today. Unfortunately, I've done something to my back, so didn't enjoy it.
