(15,537 posts)Tuesday and Wednesday the temps are going into the teens at night.
This is way too early. Watch the "climate deniers" be out in full force saying how "there is no such thing as global warming. Look at how cold it is."
OKNancy
(41,832 posts)Tulsa, OK - it is now 34 with high winds and some light misty rain. Looks like a little freezing rain to come but won't last long according to the forecast.
Tomorrow it is supposed to be sunny and cold.

(23,977 posts)...and snowing since 11 PM last night. Greater Chicago area.
Took me almost an hour to drive the 11.3 miles to work.

(15,537 posts)You have to be tough to weather Chicago's winters.
3catwoman3
(23,977 posts)I grew up in Rochester NY, off the shores of Lake Ontario, and, when my husband and I were first married, he was stationed at KI Sawyer. AFB in the upper peninsula of Michigan where they average 220 inches of snow each winter.
Im fairly tough.

(15,537 posts)I didn't go there but do remember that it was considered the "party school" and my roomies and I would drive there on weekends looking for some fun.
Wounded Bear
(58,653 posts)seasonal really. Mid 40's now, supposed to be partly sunny and mid 50's by afternoon.
Rained over the weekend, drizzle mostly. Not supposed to rain for a couple of days, but you never really know here. Has been one of driest Novembers in memory this year.
panader0
(25,816 posts)Only two fires in the woodstove so far. I leave the door open in the mornings
so the cats can go in and out. Usually the temps go from hot to cold with
no middle ground. This is the first mild fall weather I remember for a long time.
nocoincidences
(2,218 posts)Looking ahead, looks like November is going to be in the 60s a lot, with some drops into the 50s.
Pretty perfect.
llmart
(15,537 posts)I could do without the cold and snow.
nocoincidences
(2,218 posts)It suddenly dropped into the thirties.
Yaaaaaa, climate change. That crappy weather happening up north dropped down just a little, and bam, we are cold.
Wish I had the 60's and 50's back.
llmart
(15,537 posts)it was 7o when I woke up and only got up to 20o today.
Even for Michigan that's way too early to be this cold.

(2,218 posts)Moving south isn't an option?
llmart
(15,537 posts)Then my daughter had to go ahead and have a baby - my only grandchild - and I didn't want to miss out on any of that. She lives fairly close to me.
I lived in North Carolina for several years.
Takket
(21,565 posts)also Michigan, outside Detroit. also 2" lo. 4-6" today says weatherman.
I'm lucky that Veterans day is a company holiday where I work so I'm home on the couch. Be safe everyone who has to drive in this! The first storms always seem the worst because the drivers forget how to drive and the snow removal crews seem to struggle with their first time on the routes too.
llmart
(15,537 posts)I live in a sub that has lawn and snow removal service and our company usually has the orange stakes put out by the end of October, but they haven't done that yet this year.

llmart
(15,537 posts)It's a lovely drive up to the thumb in summer, but I rarely do it once the snow flies.
MuseRider
(34,109 posts)20 degrees right now with a wind chill of 5 degrees. Blowing snow and ice pellets. Nothing like you will get, the flakes are tiny and the pellets are too. Blowing like crazy, sounds and looks bad but is mostly uncomfortable. I hear it is slick, gotta go out in a couple of hours but still, it will be nothing like you are going to get.
greatauntoftriplets
(175,735 posts)Grammy23
(5,810 posts)Cold front on the way bringing rain and much colder temps. Freezing in some areas. Possible winter precipitation north of us in small amounts. Then temps will go back up to the 60s. It is nice to get a nip in the air as we approach Thanksgiving & Christmas. It feels much more seasonal for now. I hate Thanksgiving wearing shorts with the AC blasting.
Rorey
(8,445 posts)Drove up from Pueblo, about 95 miles south, at 5 a.m. I made it, but part of the drive was terrifying.
It's 14 degrees right now and snowing a bit, but supposed to get up to 32, and then tomorrow will be a very nice day.
Arkansas Granny
(31,516 posts)off and on. The low tonight is expected to be 28F, dropping down to 20F on Tuesday night. It's way too early for this in our part of the country.
2naSalit
(86,600 posts)to a whopping +15F right now. Yesterday I watched it drop from +45F to +10. Rain started at +30 and then 4" of snow on that so driving was very slippery. Out on the edge of the cold air mass and precip, expecting above freezing temps the next few days with lots of sun and probably wind as we have that 340 days of the year.

(15,537 posts)I usually go walk at the metropark close to me. It's so peaceful when it's snowing and no one else goes there. I see all sorts of wildlife. It's like a Christmas card come to life.
However, by January I'm over it.

Light snow almost like a mist been doing this since about 7am. Have about 1-2 inches. Probably will get some heavier bursts but only expecting around 3 inches.
In Hale above Saginaw Bay.

N_E_1 for Tennis
(9,722 posts)Theyre looking at around 8 by the time its done. Actually in a small while well be kinda done.
Most of the big stuff is south of me.
llmart
(15,537 posts)Can't for the life of me see what there is to do there or why anyone would want to retire there. It's a great summer day trip, but other than that, the last time I was there I thought there were only two restaurants to pick from!
N_E_1 for Tennis
(9,722 posts)Had our own carpet and upholstery biz fo years there. Retired. Needed to find a lower cost of living place. My wife and I hike, kayak and just generally love being outside. Hated traffic and way too many people around. So Hale checked all the boxes.
My DIL wondered what we did all day also...answer is whatever we want to do. Getting ready to expand my Farmacy of medicinals plants. We hike 3 to 5 miles a day, have wonderful rivers and lakes to kayak on. Bake bread, read books, listen to great music. Very eventful days
llmart
(15,537 posts)I'm retired also and have no problem filling my days. I'm an avid reader, volunteer at the library, hike or walk at the metropark nearly every day, listen to whatever music I'm in the mood for at any given time, cook or not cook, whatever I want.
I'm surprised you thought Milford was busy. Seemed sort of rural the one time I was there.
tblue37

Not normal lately, it's should be raining continuously now, weather has changed big time since the 70's around here
It never used to hit 90 during the summer as much as it does these days
20? Years ago it rained everyday for over 90 days this time of year
shanti
(21,675 posts)Sunny and in the 70's here in Sacramento.
llmart
(15,537 posts)Just kidding. I actually think I would be bored with all sunny weather and warm most of the time. I think that has a lot to do with growing up with snow and cloudy days. I lived in the South for several years and there were only two snowy days the entire time I lived there (NC). It was the best of both worlds since I could be in the mountains within a 2-hour drive if I really wanted to see snow or ski.
shanti
(21,675 posts)right about now! This is when the rainy season usually starts and there's not been a drop, not even a cloudy sky. I hope it's not the start of a new drought BTW, I just looked it up - Sacramento gets on average 269 days of sunshine a year.

(28,340 posts)that will catch up with me one day, so I actually enjoy splitting wood and other hard work while I still can.
That being said, there are many days when flipping that switch and getting an instant fire sound pretty dang good! They're very cozy! Enjoy yours this winter.

Very unusual temperatures for this area, this early. There have been plenty of Novembers when people are running around in shorts and cotton tee-shirts. Not this year apparently.
