Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

[Fritzo]

you would have loved January 1978.

I was 8 during that.

I was 8 during that.

I was 13 when that happened.

The Great Blizzard of 1978

Canada did not escape the wrath of the storm as blizzard conditions were common across southwestern Ontario. London, Ontario, was paralyzed by 41 centimetres (16 in) of snow and winds gusting to 128 kilometres per hour (80 mph).

There was a lot of snow when I went out the next day. We had drifts over 6 feet high. I really wish I had a camera that day.

Hazy/sunny ... 63f today in New Haven!

Got the windows wide open and about to take a walk.

(apologies to anyone in Denver)

Warm here, it is about 77 F right now as of 12:30 p.m. Central time. I did have to turn on the AC inside the vehicle the last few days during day time. Very soon it will be hot and the AC will be on full blast inside the home and the electric bills will be high.

WHAT IS THAT BRIGHT LIGHT?

It hurts my eyes!

Sunshine, blue skies (for a change) but chilly. Highs in the upper 40's, lows back into the 30's.

 

[Muadib]

It’s 72 F in March!! I can still see snow on my neighbors lawn.

I remember this well (I was 14) ... lived in Northern Westchester county NY at the time.

Snow was so deep we were able to make a huge network of snow-tunnels and forts in the yard plus an amateur bobsled run with big icy banked turns down the neighborhood hill. (yes, this was as life-threatening as it sounds)

Craziest thing is the sledding hill lasted all winter back then ... nowadays it would be 90% gone in 2 weeks.

Had freezing rain overnight, not fun trying to get that off the truck. Roads were not too bad, some icy sections while lot was too wet to actually turn to ice. Super hot now, like +7 but very windy too. Everything is a dog's breakfast. I don't like this kind of weather in middle of winter it just makes a huge mess and makes everything nasty.

Could be worse though, could be southern ice.

Lol it's windy enough that a traffic light made the news.

A traffic light at the corner of Algonquin Blvd. and Balsam St. today looked like it was a Quebec traffic light, sideways from what they are in Ontario. Actually, it […]

It's fucky. It's always fucky in CT.

 

[Iron Woode]

overcast but decent here today. sitting at 17C right now.

 

[Torn Mind]

70 degrees and wonderfully breezy.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Raw.


It's about 50, but cloudy, breezy and damp. Just enough to make you not want to be outside.

 

[Spacehead]

I was 8 during that.

I was 13 when that happened.

I remember they had to bring in large snowblowers to get to some of the roads they couldn't get thru with a plow. Great time for snow forts on the late '70s.

It's been pretty mild here so far this March & it looks to continue next week. Pretty windy today though.

 

[BoomerD]

After a few days of sunshine and chilly temps...it's raining...again.

 

[Iron Woode]

it's great weather for maple syrup season here. Unfortunately, local sales are down due to the pandemic. Some are selling online to make money.

I miss going to the sugar-bushes.

 

[Svnla]

Warm (70's F range - 77 F right now around 3:30 p.m.) and cloudy.

 

[Jeeebus]

Just about perfect. 82 and sunny at the moment. Enjoying some pizza on the patio.

So, is it still $60/gallon?

 

[herm0016]

Snow. And cold. I spent 4 hrs plowing a couple driveways, and trying to save my pine trees. It's about 75 lbs per cubic foot snow.

 

[Iron Woode]

So, is it still $60/gallon?

probably. It maybe cheaper now that the locals need to sell it badly. Asking a premium is going to reduce sales.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Tried 8-10 sites at random. The ones that would load and didn't spam me to join a mailing list showed prices between $60 and 70/gallon, plus shipping. Guess they're not too desperate.
