The Weather

[nigel pearson]

It was my first day of spring in my new house. I told my boss I would return to my work later as I needed my garden. 16 C or 61 F. Bright sun which might be brighter due to reduced aircraft. Moment to moment it felt almost hot in my little suntrap. The birds seem to accept me and the fish I inherited seem to know me now. I have often been to Cyprus at this time of year and had similar weather. All the daffodils are out, buds and flowers showing.

It made it to 74 F here yesterday, but it was extremely windy with gusts up to 50 mph. It apparently killed the weather station at our local airport because I'm not getting any ASOS (Automated Surface Observation System) reports on my VHF radio. Now it's ~50 F with a forecast high of ~64 F.

Parenthetically, I've been to Lakewood quite often. I'm not certain why, but I always seem to gravitate there when I make it to the Cleveland area. I suppose it's just because it's a nice place. Had a wonderful breakfast once at the Borderline Cafe, and the tacos at Barrio are excellent too.

Frozen mud is some slippery stuff.

Coming from the land of red clay, I completely understand.

Frozen mud is some slippery stuff.

That made me slip and sprain my ankle in Chicago.

Weather is nice over here, a bit chilly but the sun is shining and people bring their corona for a walk in the Spring sun ...

Open container laws?

Not cold today. Been hitting 90F/32C the past few days. Too bad, as we have had the windows open for weeks enjoying the fresh air. But when it starts to hit 90F, the AC comes on.

Had an idea to take by bicycle and my Voigtländer tonite and open the shutter for an hour or so and try to trace the stars out there.

What film?

 

[soundbrigade]

Three Billboards .... no Farmageddon ... OH! What photographic film ... Fomapan creative 200/36.

Cold snap, -18C /0F this morning and now -13C and strong N wind. Supposed to be average just above freezing which it may for the next few days followed by a long cold snap!

April 2 in Calgary and it is about -15C and snowing lightly. Next we are expecting frozen frogs and salamanders to start falling from the sky!

I have 52 CPU cores furiously processing imagenet for an experiment, and they are raising the temperature.

Half storm over here and raindrops. Had planned to go to the coast and make som experioments to proove that the Earth is not flat, but I guess the ferry to Lysekil is halted due to yet heavier winds out there.

Nice sunny day here in Georgina, going up to 8C, I see the rabbits are happy with the new growth of grass, esp over the septic tank and the red breasted thrushes (Robins) have returned looking for worms. Squirrels digging up the lawn like usually. Daffodils and tulips are up, will be a while before we see any flowers.

Down to 1º this morning with some heavy flurries. Now, bright sunshine and 9º.
Snow?
In April?
In Vancouver?

Hoodathunk?

The windows are open today it’s cold but not that cold, just enough to make it fresh

 

[KaffiMann]

Not cold, almost no snow, but there's still some out in the forest.
Here's a vid from a short walk I had a couple days ago, in case you're cooped up and miss a bit of greenery.

Nice bout of hail first thing this morning. Made quite a racket on the metal balcony roof.

 

[PRR]

Not cold, today fell from a few degrees up to right-at-freezing. With snow....

 

[Cal Weldon]

Not fair, it's April.

 

[Carlp]

Lots of rain here, just a bit sound of you PRR. But my cousin up closer to you also got snow.

We got a lot of birch-trees bent down to the ground. Won't kill them, but they may never go straight again.

It measures 3 inches but shovels like 9 inches. Very Heavy!!

I don't like it. Kind of slop that breaks power lines.

It will melt off trees and lines by noon, and overall in a day or so.
