    more rain in the Bay Area
    No complaints from me, but I don't live in the flood zone either. Be careful out there!

    snow yet?
    Looking at a weather maker coming through tomorrow afternoon into Tuesday. We're due for some significant snowfall having had nearly none this December and mild temps for most of the month. Global weirding anyone? We're looking at 6-12". I have my snow shoes at the ready, of course...

    Well, it took a while but, fall has set in here in St. Louis. Had to break out the jackets and such. Not much color on the trees yet, but it shouldn't be long now...

    this week's forecast
    Stalled high pressure has us sunny, clear and seasonable here in western WI. Highs will be near 60 and lows mid-30's the next 5 days/nights. Fall colors are arriving at their peak as well. I hope to get in one more solid bike trip in the forest (Monday) before the snow flies. The colors should prove to be gorgeous!

    What's the weather like at your place? In Oakland it's chilly and overcast, but no sign of rain, which we need.

    how cold is it?...
    so cold that the avg. four foot frost line is now at seven feet. Many townships are requiring people to run their faucets open at a "pencil-wide stream" until told to turn them off. No increase in the water bill but a full charge to unfreeze a frozen lateral. Water mains frozen beyond belief. One more week of continuous 20 below nights. Just hoping the car starts every day and the power doesn't go out. Propane? Customers here had the opportunity to "lock-in" in the fall of '13 for about $1.50/gal. Currently at $3.60/gal. A 400 gal fill up is $1,440! Here in the second lowest per capita income county in WI., that's all but impossible for most. Seven adults and five children recently were rescued when one family member was able to call 911 before they all died. Tried to heat the house with a charcoal grill. Even the police were overcome by the carbon monoxide. That's how cold it is. March is coming. Hopefully there will be some new and warmer conditions to complain about.

    of snow today, finally. 5" and I've shoveled 3 times to keep the drive open. Schools and many businesses are closed. The long awaited release of Boulevard Brewing's Chocolate Ale has been postponed (aaargggh) but I still have a good stash of Hopslam!I don't get the Weather Channel anymore, since Directv told Jim Cantorre to go f#%k himself, so I rely on the National Weather Service site for snow news.

Last week at this time set a record high temp of 86 degrees for Erie, Pa. Today is 47 degrees, damp, and windy. I'm not looking forward to the comming winter, as I'm an Iron Worker and work outside. Love the summers though.

Southern California has the best weather! It only got up to about 72 today on the coast. My mom and stepfather are staying with me for the week, and they thought it was a little chillier th than they'd been expecting, but I think it's just perfect.

When I left Andalucia for the weekend, was sunny and close to 30 degrees (80 something for you farenheit guys) Was warm enough to get a wee bit of color in my face when outside. Here in southern Germany is crisp and cool, shocking enough to have given me a lovely cold.********************************* Don't part with your illusions.

Go f*#K yourself, San Diego! OK, I love this line 'cause I'm sick of hearing how f'ing great your weather is out there. ENOUGH ALREADY! DO YOU WANT MY HEAD TO EXPLODE? Just kidding, Izz. Over "here" we've had a summer of drought, heat and humidity (you do know it's not the heat, blah, blah, blah) and now it should be time for the greatest event of the year, autumn but the drought will be sure to abate our fun, in that regard. Sorry if I seem a bit bleak but here's how I see the weather report today (sorry this may be the wrong thread): You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life. Of course that's just how I feel today. On other daze, I feel more like this (so don't worry, 'cause it's actually very beautiful here, crisp temps and vivid skies, with Halloween nipping the Autumn air with fanged teeth. No leaf color to speak of, as yet): Winter, slumbering in the open air, wears on its smiling face a dream... of spring (with a box of Keenex on the night stand). Ciao. The Dude Abides!

Yeah, we have 'em here in north Texas - you step outside and report what the weather is like. Weather forecasting? We don't bother, nobody knows. I believe it was Mark Twain who said - "Everyone complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it."

When a blind man takes your hand and says; Don't you see - you have the most beautiful face; Don't you see - we're floating in space; Don't you see - happiness makes you cry; Don't you see - everyone you know someday will die. Life goes fast; It's hard to make the good things last; The sun doesn't "go down"; It's just an illusion caused by the world spining 'round. It's apparently music fusion time for me. Thanks Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips for not suing me for loving your music. "All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him."

I'm down here visiting family in Laguna Niguel till tomorrow, and while there are no fires in the immmediate area, there are at least 10 significant fires in SoCal, and the air is so thick with smoke you can barely see the houses across the street, forget the ocean. I can only imagine what it's like in the actual fire area. My brother's a volunteer firefighter in Fallbrook, and consqeuently couldn't come to our family gathering yesterday.

Here in Eastern Washington the skies are grey and the temperature is in the 40's and it feels damp. The hardwoods leaves are falling and some of the trees are getting bare and others are quite colorful. The rains have come and fire season here is over until next July or August. Always a bit of relief with that. I know what you are going through in So. Cal. with the fires. A big part of our lives here.

Sorry about the lives affected by the fires. Here in Erie, PA we had a very nice day, warm and dry. Just took my son for a walk in the stroller, I think he enjoyed it. Tonight the weather should turn more fall like accordinding to the forecasters. Rainy and much cooler for the rest of the week.

What Steve-O said goes for me, as well, in regards to those terrible fires. I'm praying for any relief possible for you guys. The news can't do the situation justice, I'm sure, and yet the images and scope presented on TV and internet are terrifying to everyone here on the other coast. Everyone I know is concerned and pulling for the situation to turn for the positive. The Dude Abides!

Thanks for that update, CCJoe! (GRTUD's hands tremble as he opens a Xanax bottle and liberally pours them into the funnel he now hold's in his mouth). In a garbled voice GRTUD continues, "Ah, Dante's Hell...", as he chews, swallows the pills and his eyes glaze over. Thank you Walter, that makes me feel very secure, it makes me feel very warm inside.

I am not in the firestorm as I live at the beach, but have been racing through three cell phones today trying to keep track of the 35 folks in my staff at work, several of home are facing the loss of everything material in their world. It is a very weird time in San Diego.

GRTUD et al, we were in our own Dante's inferno of fire hell and back, but that was years ago, not now. izzie, and everyone else in the So. Cal area that is affected by this terrible fire; positive vibes are heading your way, to all of your family and friends and, again, to all of the firefighters, people who risk life and limb. hopefully the gods of Santa Anna will cut the wind, and the rain will come.
