Weather where you are thread
-
Here in Clearwater it's 5 degrees off the forecast high of 59 or in other words 55 and with moderate wind speeds (currently 21 mph). The forecast low is 40.
The forecast high for tomorrow is 56 and the low is set at 40 again. The wind speeds are forecast as light.
Saturday is forecast to be warmer at 66/46 but the next four days are again at '50's/ '40's.
I looked at a weather map for '25. Apparently, this is the depth of winter with green representing the coldest temperature range being a solid steak lasting throughout the days.
There's easily more warm, hot, and sweltering represented on the map than cold as you can imagine.
My circumstances are hardly unique but I would consider them unusual in that I've had shelter (thank God) but not electricity for five consecutive seasons.
What are the weather conditions where you are?

It was down to minus 4 here, actually too cold to work in our garage and such that for a week I've been disinclined to do anything.
But it's now cloudy & wet and up to 7 degrees during the day so we've just been to the recycling centre with carpet, having emptied and stripped our last bedroom for me to finish the upstairs carpetting 'project'.
Our gaily decorated and colourful 1960 paisley and 1980 geometric carpets that made each bedroom & landing different are now a memory of photos; replaced by an unnoticed tweedy red flecked brown.
And lovely 12mm underlay. -
It was almost 60 last week. Then we got snow and it dropped down to the 20s. Tomorrow we get more snow. And the temps will be single digits overnight starting on Saturday night and into the early part of next week. Winter isn't giving up yet, not by a long shot.
Time to do garden planning. In the safety and warmth of my house....

18F but at least it stopped snowing. Got about 8” from this storm. Just finished clearing the drive.
Sun came out just now and it’s quite pretty!

It was a real nice day. Got up to 67. Low wind speeds. I took the opportunity to do a load of laundry by hand, and to sweep and mop the house. We wear our shoes in the house. I have to wear sandals because the floor is always dirty. It's usually all I can do to sweep it out once a day so mopping is a rare achievement. Tonight will be mild around 60, but this will have been the warmest day in a 10 day forecast. The temperature will decrease throughout the day tomorrow ending in the 40's again, rain is forecast, and the wind speeds will be as high as 25 mph.

Temp right now is 0, zooming up to 6 later in the day. Oh, and winds are 20 to 30 mph, just to add to the misery.
Forecasts up through Sunday show us failing to reach freezing, mostly staying below 20.
I dumped a little pile of squash seeds out at the base of a tree where I know a couple of squirrels live; I saved them from a kabocha we had a few days ago for dinner. I don't even know if the little furry guys come out in this cold or if they just huddle.

Deep freeze hits us tonight. Miserable cold for at least a week. But I guess we’ll have a lot of company.

My sister-in-law said they preparing for 2' of snow. This is a county north of Duchess by a small distance. She's trying to buy a snowplow for herself and help her cousin and former foster son who are facing the storm without heat. I think she's fairly stressed out. Not Me's aunt called me today from Tennessee. She said it's going to drop below zeo. Many homeless people will die of hypothermia. Many people will die of heart attacks because of overexertion working in the cold. Strangely, some people will fall through ice and drown. It always happens at this time of year. Severe weather events are terrifying.

Balmy low 40s today but descending into the teens tomorrow. Sunday is supposed to be a big snow day.

Looks like we are going to be too far north to get the brunt of the storm. Temps mid 20’s today. Sunny, actually fairly nice, dropping by the weekend. Maybe a couple of inches of snow. I spent the day scraping ice off of the driveway, a penalty for doing a lousy job of blowing the snow after the last storm. I won’t do that again. Now that the driveway is nice and clear the snowblower should take care of whatever hits over the weekend.
Colder by Sunday, single digits may be a few negative temps but once you get below about 20 it really doesn’t make any difference.

Saturday it will get to 77/ 63, Sunday back to normal at 71/ 63, then Monday 71/ 63, then dropping to mid 50's/ low 40's, for Tuesday through Thursday, and...
Friday the 30th will be cold, 47/ 39 with max winds of 18 mph. This will be the coldest day we've had this year I even if the 39 doesn't hold and turns to 40. The last forecast of 39 ended up being 40 but high of 47 and 18 winds will easily make it it coldest yet.
Then it climbs to 54/ 40 and 61/ 50.
I think it depends on what conditions you're acclimated to; this will be uncomfortable but at least not dangerous.
