Weather check-in. What's it doing where you are?

[Laffy Kat]

Sixteen degrees in Boulder County, Colorado with around four inches of snow. It feels colder. The snow came last night but it's still cloudy. I did manage to shovel but now I need to go to the store and I don't want to leave my cozy bed.

[SamKnause]

1. Drizzling and 44 degrees.

Seaman, Ohio.

60 miles east of Cincinnati, Ohio.

[Laffy Kat]

3. That is also great staying-inside weather.

[SamKnause]

5. Hot chocolate and a roaring fire weather.

[Va Lefty]

2. Raining and 50 degrees here in Shenandoah Valley Va.

[Laffy Kat]

4. Beautiful part of the country. So green. nt

[Best_man23]

119. Raining here behind the lines in deep red VA

Fauquier Co, VA.

[dewsgirl]

6. Florida here 74 degrees, I have to admit it is fairly nice today. But our misery is coming months of

Unrelenting heat and humidity. We get maybe two to three months of comfortable weather a year.

[Laffy Kat]

7. What part of Florida?

My sis lives in Monticello (Tallahassee) and I love that area, although it does get quite humid.

[dewsgirl]

10. Vero Beach, it's on the east coast, directly across the state from Tampa.

[Laffy Kat]

12. Yes, I know Vero Beach.

I used to work for a Piper dealership (another lifetime ago) and Vero Beach was the Piper HQ at the time.

[dewsgirl]

18. Piper is still here. When I was younger, most people had no idea where it was.

Last year Oprah shopped here on the beach and no one even bothered her. Betsy Devoss lives here in Windsor 6 months out of the year.
It's always nice to meet people that meet people that know where it is.

[Laffy Kat]

20. Well, I never actually visited Piper, but I sure did address a lot of correspondence.

And constant phone calls. It was really a fun job.

[Zoonart]

8. Putnam County, NY

34 degrees with 2 solid inches of ice on my driveway from last week's storm and fog rolling in with light drizzle/ice.
Staying in with a cocktail and the Olympics.

[Laffy Kat]

11. Ewww, ice is the worst.

You have a great plan, though. Stay safe.

[Zoonart]

14. You bet, Kat.

Cheers!

9. San Francisco Bay Area

In North Bay (Sonoma County)

It's been in the 80s-- ugh

Snow pack in Sierras 14% of normal

Lots of people are loving the weather but I remind them we get nine months of sunny days and that we have only a few "rain months"-- we're halfway into the "rainy season," and doing abysmally on that score. (No rain between April and October usually)

And last year we were deluged with rain

So... bah humbug!!!

[Laffy Kat]

13. We are below normal snow pack here as well.

It's gonna be a dry summer, I'm afraid. We've already received warnings from the township about watering during the summer months.

[ailsagirl]

42. I thought after last year that we'd never have to watch our water use again

Silly me

Wish things would even out

[kimbutgar]

62. Ive lived here in San Francisco all my life and I never remember it being 70 degrees in February.

It’s kind of scary knowing this weather is due to warming Oceans. I am a substitute teacher and a third grader commented to me that “this is global warming is scary” this little 8 year old child is smarter than most rethuglicans.

[ailsagirl]

70. I know someone who thinks global warming is a myth

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

107. I'm coastal Sonoma County

It was 75 in the shade yesterday. Plum, Almond and Asian Pear trees are blooming. I put squash seeds in the garden bed. Have been watering things, as it hasn't rained in a while.

[ailsagirl]

118. And nothing on the horizon, so to speak

[LW1977]

15. Cold with no ending in sight! MN

[Laffy Kat]

31. But the summers are lovely! nt

[rurallib]

66. Sounds like the name of a city for Minnesota

Cold With No End, Mn.

My kids live near there I think.

[AC_Mem]

16. Lakeland Florida

outside Orlando - it had to be in the 80's today. It was hot enough to lay out and get a sunburn and we had to have the a/c on! Beautiful blue sky with white fluffy clouds.

This is why I moved to Florida

Now though, I can feel a weather system coming in tonight - bones are aching. We will probably get whatever is out there moving this way sometime tomorrow.

Have a great Saturday evening everyone!

[Laffy Kat]

21. At the moment that sounds wonderful.

I get achy bones, too. More reliable than Doppler radar if you ask me. Bones always know.

[Freddie]

44. My son is in Orlando today

At a wedding, he sent pics, looks like a stunning gorgeous day. He and his girlfriend live in Boca Raton.

[Laffy Kat]

53. Florida does, indeed, have it's advantages. Sigh. nt

[ghostsinthemachine]

17. Sunny, breezy, 60 degrees in NORCAL

FOOTHILLS ABOVE sacramento

[Laffy Kat]

32. That's how I usually picture it. nt

[ghostsinthemachine]

121. Its freaking February.

People swimming at Pebble Beach today. Not one or two, but a lot of people. Noticing blooms today, 2 weeks early. We've had record highs for weeks. And no rain. Thats good for SOCAL and the mudslides that are sure to happen in the fire ravaged areas, but in farm country its going to be trouble. I think last years record rains got everyone in the drought is over wagon but it rages on in reality.

[Laffy Kat]

123. Yep. People tend to appreciate only what's right in front of them. nt

[Glorfindel]

19. Dreary, drizzly, day with fog. The temp. is about 45 degrees F.

North Georgia, southern Appalachians, about 80 miles north of Atlanta & 80 miles south of Chattanooga.

[Laffy Kat]

23. Lovely area.

I'm from Memphis originally, but always thought eastern TN was so much prettier.

[Glorfindel]

47. East and west Tennessee are as different as north and south Georgia

You're right; it is a pretty area. I moved back a year ago after 18 years in south Mississippi. It's nice to be back home in the mountains, even if it does get very cold at times.

[Laffy Kat]

54. Not sure I could take 18 years in Mississippi.

Of course, the coast is nice.

[RandomAccess]

65. I LOVE those particular mountains

I truly do.

[Lochloosa]

22. Little chilly tonight.

64. 72 right now. Might start a fire. Oh wait. No fireplace.

Florida can be tough.

[Laffy Kat]

25. What part of Fl? nt

[Lochloosa]

45. Jacksonville

My brother will be in Boulder soon for Dead and Company.

[Laffy Kat]

48. Been through many times.

That is one spread-out city!

[Lochloosa]

50. Yes it is. Largest city in the continental US.

[Laffy Kat]

111. I didn't know that but I sure believe it. nt

[Lochloosa]

129. 875 square miles.

[magicarpet]

24. 7:11pm . Saturday . 36 degrees . Cloudy no precip.

Portland, Maine.

[Laffy Kat]

27. Gosh, one of the few states I've never gotten to visit.

Thanks for checking in.

[AJT]

26. It's 11 degrees in Madison with a chance of snow.

[Laffy Kat]

29. My son is in school at Ripon.

So I keep an eye on the weather up there. If I remember, the high the other day was 3?

[mucifer]

28. Chicago we got about 6-8 inches Thursday night and might get 1-3 tonight it's in the 20s

So at least it's not too cold which helps shoveling snow.

[Laffy Kat]

30. True, except the snow is heavier!

[Lebam in LA]

33. Culver City, Ca

64 and cloudy

[Laffy Kat]

34. I just had to Google that location.

Learned something new today. Thanks for checking in!

[MLAA]

35. 76 degrees and gorgeous in Tucson.

[Laffy Kat]

37. Of course it is! Can't beat AZ in the winter.

One of the places I'm considering retiring is Flagstaff. It seems to be the best of both worlds.

[MLAA]

38. Ahhh that would be perfect!

[Yonnie3]

36. Much warmer here in Charlottesville, Virginia

49F, which is much warmer than it has been in a while. We have mist, rain and visibility less than a mile in the spots. A flood watch is in effect. Checking the river forecast near our business in the Shenandoah Valley, I see we needn't worry about flooding there.

My brother lives in Boulder, now retired from a career in things atmospheric and things data driven. He has said a few things about having little snow there this year.

[Laffy Kat]

39. Yes, it's true. Not much rain, not much snow.

Did your bro work at NOAA?

[Yonnie3]

40. NCAR

Not a good time for those remaining there. He retired before the present administration.

[Laffy Kat]

49. Actually, NCAR is what I meant.

Although NOAA is here, too. I'm sure it's tough for them right now.

[Polly Hennessey]

41. 61 degrees and sunny.

Foothills above Sacramento. Supposed to go down to the mid-fifties for a few days.

[Laffy Kat]

52. That sounds nice. nt

[Freddie]

43. 40-ish and raining all day

Bucks Co. PA (northern Philly burbs). Had to do my grocery shopping today and I hate all the loading and unloading in the rain. Supposed to rain the next couple days.

[Laffy Kat]

51. I understand.

Trying to get the grocery store myself and I just don't want to go out in the cold and snow.

[sweetroxie]

46. 48 and dreary outside Boston

Tomorrow it will rain like hell.

[Laffy Kat]

56. Love Boston.

At least you GET rain. I miss it.

[JDC]

55. Cold and rainy - NH Seacoast

[Laffy Kat]

57. That just seems like another world to me.

Would love to visit NH, never been. Thanks for checking in.

[JDC]

64. We moved here from Parker, CO.

We will be back this year. Miss CO too much

You should visit. 50 miles N of Boston.

[Laffy Kat]

71. If I ever get another chance, I will.

Are you moving back to Parker? Everything is so expensive now. If I hadn't bought in Lafayette when I did, there is no way I could afford it now. It's ridiculous.

[JDC]

110. More than likely.

South towards Franktown. I'd like to get into the trees a little bit. Take care.

[vsrazdem]

58. 77 with a beatiful sunset in Phoenix, AZ

[Laffy Kat]

59. Yes, I'm sure. It's wonderful in the winter.

I did my first solo in a glider outside of Phoenix at Turf soaring. The thermals are so good, you could basically stay up as long as you wanted. It's a glider pilot's paradise.

[GP6971]

60. 41 degrees

now overcast after a mostly sunny day. South Puget Sound, WA

[Laffy Kat]

72. What a great place to live. nt

[TalenaGor]

61. was sunny and cold today talking about snow tomorrow in Seattle

[Laffy Kat]

76. At least most people won't have to drive tomorrow. nt

[Staph]

63. Here in westernmost West Virginia

it's 51 degrees and raining. And we're under a flood watch until 7:00 PM Sunday. It's soggy outside!

[Laffy Kat]

74. Sounds dreary. nt

[Staph]

78. It's a good night

to curl up under an afghan and watch curling! (and figure skating and snowboarding and all those other Olympic sports)

[Laffy Kat]

79. Absolutely, with hot tea or toddy. nt

[rurallib]

67. Eastern Iowa - waiting for another overnight snowball

and lows @ zero.

This has been our first old time winter in a decade and people aren't liking it.

[Laffy Kat]

75. You get used to what you've had, I guess.

Seems like that would be normal there.

[PunksMom]

68. Youngstown Ohio

Rain turning to freezing rain later

[Laffy Kat]

73. Yuck. nt

Wow. You've got the best of all the outdoorsy stuff directly to your east and west!

[lunasun]

106. I'm a flat lander from Chicago . I will be driving from Sacramento to Sonora in the summer

Can you help me out with a question ?
Is it all mountain driving? .. . Will I fall off a cliff or something going there , or it it an easy drive in a rental for a flatlander ?
Gold county so I'm thinking lot of hills , not mountains . Like there's gold in them hills
I'm not going up into the forest just the towns of Sonora and Columbia college but I see further east of there the roads close in winter so I wasn't sure of just going into towns
I once rented a small auto car for some driving somewhere I really needed something like a Jeep
That's why I'm asking . Can't wait to check out your part of earth

[sprinkleeninow]

82. "A foggy day in Londontown....."

Hahah. In a Carolina last time I looked. 😄

My son works there.


My wife and I live between Lebanon and Mascoutah.

Prairie life FTW

[Laffy Kat]

112. There used to be a Holiday Inn up on the bluff in Edwardsville.

This was eons ago. I was the sales director there and I got to know the community really well in a short period of time. SIU gave us a lot of business. Gosh, such fun times.

[Laffy Kat]

122. I just looked at your weather for tomorrow....

It's going to get worse before it gets better. Sorry.

[Laffy Kat]

I gotta head to work now. At least I get tomorrow off.

[Rhiannon12866]

138. We just dug out in time for another foot of snow on Wednesday and more on Friday.

I guess they were hoping for a thaw since no plows or sanders were out on Friday night. I planned to stop at the store on my way home, but I chickened out, just took the shortest route going really slow.

Down south in the mountains, there is still plenty of snow. My daughter's boyfriend drove over to the Austrian Alps for some weekend skiing.

[kairos12]
