We have had rain all day here in the UK.
I went out in the car and there was plenty of water to splash through.

It is now in the news.
Sheffield flooding: Hundreds of people left stranded in Meadowhall shopping centre | London Evening Standard

We crossed the river Doe Lea, one of the rivers that feed the river Don about 10 miles upstream of Sheffield by the site of a long ago demolished old rust belt factory that used to be called Coalite Chemicals. The flooding had risen up into what remains of the drains making the air smell of vintage weed killer.


Scroll down to dioxin contamination to see what interesting historic things they used to make there.

32F here in NEOH, further south, Youngstown, expecting a low of 25F this evening.

Yikes.
I am walking the dog in shorts very soon. It's not Hot Toddy bravery, it's ocean currents from the mid and south Pacific area keeping us at a decent temp. We are doing ok at 11º at 3pm.

It’s cold today here in Chicago.

 

[TheGimp]

Cold is headed this way.

I had hoped to take a half day of vacation Tuesday and ride to Asheville to get my KTM upgraded to Cruise Control and Heated Grips.

Not going to happen with a predicted high of 36F (2C).

That d@#* Arctic air!

Is there a thread about "it's hot today"? Reading about it may help those who are shivering today feel little better.

Snowed in Montreal today. It was raining when I left for work wearing a rainjacket, but was pretty frosty coming home.

Sn*w is crossing the coast of Maine at the moment. Falls as fluffy ice but melts instantly because it is several degrees above freezing in air and on ground. Dunno if it has enough energy to dust Nova Scotia tomorrow.

Weather Service is confused, calling it "unknown precip". (I think I am reading the unattended weather box at the small airport and it isn't smart enuff to tell what is falling.)

Rain in the night a bit south of PRR, and while we got solid freezing temps before morning (wet leaves frozen to the windshield), the rain must have stopped before then because we got no snow.

We had sn*w falling all night. Still sn*wing this AM but no accumulation or even damp in my dooryard. Drove over the Island and cresting the foothill we saw Mount Cadillac was white-topped! (very thinly) And bits of white in the shadows of the foothill. Back to my place and I found bits of ice on a board and a blueberry leaf in deep woods.

The Corgi is very disappointed.

Well, in the end we DID get snow today...eventually. No accumulation though. Tonight it's mid 20s and supposed to go lower. Days this weekend will be close to 50F.

-7C overnight, still -4 at 10:00... Brr...

Pristine air around here.

Has anybody noticed green, rose and turquoise colored clouds???

Obviously, I mean the Sun rays colored the clouds, with high Sun at noon, not at sunset.

Cheers,
M.

I took pictures of clouds like that some years ago. Thread about it here.
Actual rainbow clouds!

BEAUTYFUL!

Thank you very much!

They can also be seen at noon.

Is it possible that the atmosphere is changing? Increased ions, plasma, receiving different kind of Sun Rays?

Have you seen Aureora Borealis?
Do you know Birkland currents?

So many questions, so little time.

Cheers,
M.

Prediction is -8C and snow by Thursday.

 

[Bigun]

it's snowing here, been snowing most of the morning. I could have predicted it of course, because my car is booked to have the snow tires put on only next week....
