Sunny here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Not particularly warm, though. 44F. A little windy, but, not like yesterday. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable day here. Spent the morning with my daughter and youngest granddaughter. Well, my "youngest" is not actually here with us, yet. Will be in March, though.

It's raining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dallas is giddy!! We haven't have any sort of rain here in LA in almost two months. The last "rain" we had was just an hour or two of a light mist. It's lovely.
Had to think about previous posting because Dallas(Texas) is next door. 55F and foggy in Arlington Texas, a pleasant change for this morning's dog walk.
Hard to think of a single day in the last month without rain lots of small villages and towns affected by flooding we are used to lots of rainfall here in England but this month has been the worst in decades mind you it is fairly mild for the time of year had it been colder it might have fallen as snow and that is something we are not so used to coping with
It is a beautiful soft day here in south Florida.
Here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon(I'd post the name of the nearest town, but, even most locals don't know of it), it is raining. Not much, at the moment, but, still raining. Probably more of a mist, right now.But, we've needed this rain for quite a while. After all, it's what keeps Oregon green!
Between 9pm tonight to 7pm tomorrow night, they are expecting us to get 9" of heart attack heavy snow. I am so done with winter!!
Overcast here in Kennewick, WAMichael - what is a "soft" day?
Here in England rain, rain and more rain. Parts of Somerset under water and people being ferried about in boats. Villages completely cut off by road. Heaviest rainfall for 100 years in parts of the UK. Here in Hampshire, grey skies and rain. Central heating on the blink so cold too. Who said there was no such thing as Climate Change?

In north west Western Australia it is continually over 30 celsius. It's the wet season and it has rained, maybe 50 inches, which is half the average rainfall, I think. People have made the news being trapped in flooded roads, one man swam, walked 70 kms to get help.
With apologies to those that live in areas where it gets really cold; I AM FREEZING. I had to turn on my furnace. Here, in my area of LA, it is in the low 40s tonight.
Low 60s during the day and high 30s at night here in my part of Los Angeles
COLD! VERY COLD! VERY VERY COLD! -- Kennewick, WA
Sunny and cold here too but still have so much snow and expecting more on Sunday and Wednesday too.
Sunny and fairly mild in Niagara Region of Niagara for now. Supposed to get more snow on Sunday and yes Carman there's way too much of it now. I so want spring lol.
Me too Linda. :)
Here in Peoria, Illinois it's sunny with bitter cold. Forecast high 8 above.
Is summer here....it just can't be so cold!
It's been snowing since the afternoon here in Kennewick. Still in the teens!
Snowing down here in Oregon, too. Only about a third of our Tai Chi class showed up due to inclement weather and driving conditions. And cold. In the low 20's. While I realize that other parts of the country experience even lower temperatures, the lower 20's is very cold for this part of the country.As I've told people many times, I wouldn't mind the snow so much if it could miss the roads.
Hate driving on snowy/icy roads and hate even more, how people drive in those conditions. So many people don't even seem to care that just a bit of frozen road can cause one to lose control of a speeding car. Or, even a not speeding car.
Rained all day here in Los Angeles!! Yay!!! In the 60s for the next few days.
It's sunny & 14F here in Kennewick! Plus, last night, we got 2.8" of snow and they're threatening more today & tomorrow! (My dogs don't appreciate squatting and having cold stuff touch their private parts!)
It has been snowing and bitter cold here in Colorado. We are suppose to have a bit of a warming tread here next week highs in the mid forties at least that is what they are calling for but out here you never know.
It's Florida, so last night was cold (70), today is warm, tomorrow will be hot and rainy then back to warm. When it's really cold, I end up shoveling 12 - 18 inches of sunshine off the driveway. It's rough, but I manage.
Here in South West England we are bracing ourselves for yet another storm. Lots of damaged sea defences in coastal areas from the last onslaught, with no time to make repairs before the next one arrives. The main London to Plymouth (and beyond to Cornwall) rail line totally destroyed (originally constructed in the 1840s) by the sea at Dawlish. In the Cornish port of Porth Leven, two of the 2 foot thick beams which make up the harbour 'gate' were snapped in half earlier in the week, allowing the sea to rush in and wreck sheltering boats. One particular historic clock-tower has been condemned after damage by huge waves and the worry is the sea will finish it off this weekend. I could go on! Storms aren't unusual in this area, but not one after another, after another, after another... Every coastal town has a destruction story to tell!

This moring was beautifully soft, with a solild dove colored sky, a light mist in the air, and temps in the high sixties.

A few years back we were hit with 5 hurricanes from june to novermber. You get pretty punch drunk after awhile.

We live inland so not so vulnerable (large trees coming down is what we might suffer from!) but it's been miserable for those whose homes have been invaded by the sea. Many have had to move out for fear of buildings collapsing. But they're a stoic lot, the Cornish!

I hear you about your dogs! Our dog, when I put her out last night, just kind of looked around in the snow for a bit. Then, I called to her to "Go potty" and she looked at me as if to say "Where?" While her private parts don't extend down to touch the snow, her squatting puts her closer to it than she is comfortable with.
Snowed again last night here in Kennewick, WA. Haven't gone out yet to look.
Today it's sunny and hot! I'm going to the piscine :)

Southampton, England - rain, rain, more rain and very windy - such joy. It looks as if it will stop raining tomorrow for a few hours - looking forward to that.
The sun is shinning and it is somewhat warm outside here in Colorado which is so nice. I was outside for just a bit and already my spirit feels lifted:)
More snow last night, and this morning, in Oregon. Several inches, now. Varies from place to place. More snow further north of us and south of us. And, west of us, for the matter. Supposed to turn to rain tomorrow and snow all gone by Monday morning commute. We'll see. I gave up a long time ago counting on what the weather man says will happen. While I believe they are more accurate than they used to be, what with satellite technology and what now. But, they still are not accurate when I seem to need them to be. I understand that it's not a perfect science, though.
Besides, being retired, I could care less about traffic for the commute. I can still get from my bedroom to my "office" no matter what the weather. Snow or rain...
Upstate N.Y. We've had a strange one as we had alot of rain which is good , but on the hand when the storms we sure blasted as we are by the Finger Lakes Strange Winter
It snowed in Tokyo. Apparently the first time in 45 years.
45 F overcast with some fog, still. Feels great after the cold snap in Arlington Texas.
It was in the 80s here in LA today. It has been warm all week.
Back to being rainy in Oregon. Snow all gone. At least at my place and the places that I go to. Also, warmer with the snow gone. 53F as on this evening around 10:30PM PST.
Snowing again in Massachusetts....it's been a long,cold winter
Very warm again here in Los Angeles. Everyone else is getting slammed with extreme cold and snow and we have had a VERY dry winter.
