So let's see how we are all doing today with the weather. And Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas from Pensacola, Florida!

It's 11:30am and 73 degrees, partly cloudy but sunny all day. Will be about 76 degrees today for the high.

I posted this in my Art Studio thread a few days ago, but thought I'd share here too. (Wish that were me LOL)  That hammock is a freebie that I radically changed.

    A COLD Christmas in LA! 45 degrees at 9:30 AM expected to go up to 55 degrees. But blue skies and palm trees. Looks warmer than it is. Still relaxing in bed, the view out my window. I actually have tinsel on my TV, lower right corner LOL...

    40 degrees and too cold to walk the chihuahua. We'll go out when it warms up closer to 50. She is an old girl and doesn't like the cold. I don't either. I'm riding the exercise bike

    That's unusual for the West Coast isn't it?

    We are central California coastal and our temps have gone into the 30s in winter. We are close to the pacific and that can bring cold air. I prefer temps in the 60s. 

    It is 43 now.

  • Merry Christmas everyone.  Up here in Ontario Canada,  it's just around the freezing mark,  0 degrees celsius,  32 Farenheit.  Hint of snow on the ground,  remnants of a snow fall last week.  It's all supposed to melt tomorrow on Boxing Day.  We'll see.  Have a safe and Happy Holidays.

    max of 50°f (10°c)   earlier,  now at 18:00gmt/utc it is 45°f (7°c)  bit breezy, gusting between 19 and 25mph  and just a little moist with occasional drizzle.  As I live at 1200ft we have some low flying clouds.

    A bit further north than you I see. Still in Ontario though. We are currently at -10 Celsius (14 Farenheit) with a warning of snow/rain/freezing rain moving in this evening through tomorrow. Suggestion from the news feed is to just hunker down and quietly enjoy Boxing Day from the comfort of our homes. We still have plenty of snow on the ground although the recent warm spell has cleared the trees and the main roads (yes!).

    If we had that kind of weather here in Dallas, the whole city would close down, LOL. I grew up in TX, but I always associate Christmas with cold and it's very unlike Christmas at 76 degrees.

  • In the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada, we're just flirting around the freezing mark.  High of +1 Celsius and a low of -5.  We actually have snow on the ground for Christmas this year, a change from getting no snow at all last winter.

    Thank you, Novica! :D That's actually a different character - though I tried to make her as close to my avatar character as I could. My avatar is G2F but I'm getting tired of the awkward joint bends - particularly the arms. So I tried to make a G3F character as close to her as I could with dial spinning the morphs, it's as close as I can get so far without the GenX products, as I don't have those yet. She's not quite there yet but I'm still tweaking her. heheh :)

    Partly cloudy and 70 degrees in NE OK. Just the other day there was snow on the ground.

    Here in middle England it was overcast but dry. (it's 7:30pm now) High of 13 celsius, but currently hovering between 11 and 12. Low will probably be around 7. Blustery winds with gusts up to around 30 is all we saw of Storm Barbara this far south. Storm Connor is expected to hit Scotland tomorrow so we may see a bit of rain here from that.

    Been quite bright but breezy and a bit cold here in the East of England.

  • After being snowed in for 10 days in 3 feet of snow, then 3 days of borderline thawing temperatures and light drizzle/snow the 3 feet of snow has turned into 4 inches of ice.  Today the temperature is nearly 40F and sunny so the smooth ice on our significantly inclined driveway is now covered with running water which will freeze solid tonight.  I take my life in my feet if I venture out either in my car or on foot because the only way out of my house is to walk that driveway. Bummer!  frown

    It's weather like that that did make coal fires so useful    the dead ash and small cinders were very good at giving the icy paths a grip

     

  • Merry Christmas everyone, it's 39 degrees here in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, sunny and beautiful

    ...that's what we used on the walkway in front and leading up to the house where I grew up in Wisconsin (we had an old coal furnace until 1966 that today would look like it was right out of a steampunk novel).

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    Here in the suburbs of Chicago it's a balmy 35°f

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    It's Boxing Day here in sunny North Queensland, Australia, and the temperature is currently 23 C (73 F) and quite overcast. Rain is forecast for today and the rest of the week. Very warm and muggy and humidity is about 74%. 

    Our Wet Season is VERY late, and the water in Tinaroo Dam is very very low - the lowest I've ever seen it actually. So low, that water restrictions are actually in place across the Tablelands. I don't recall the last time we had that! 

  • 12 degrees F with wind gusts up to 50 mph, averaging a constant 30 mph.  That means it feels like -10 F outside.  Oh, and blowing snow every now and then.  Merry Christmas... :P

    Kinda wet here :-) Merry Christmas !

    Yes.  I grew up in this same town and until a year or so before I left high school ('66) we had a coal/wood furnace.  My father worked for a company that installed them.  We had a monster in order to properly heat that old farm house.   For many years we never had a problem with heavy snow piling up on the roof because we leaked so much heat that it always melted.  Then dad started installing insulation in the attic and walls because the cost of coal was going up.  We used that furnace as a quick way to roast steaks.  We had a special long handled wire rack that we'd stick several steaks in and insert it into the fuel door and stand there roasting the meat over the firebed. 

    First person to get up in the morning had to go down and stoke the furnace with more coal to get the house ready.  It was a hot air system so we had big delivery ducts throughout the basement and up the inside of the walls.  Despite the size of the house my dad had done a super job installing a big enough furnace and plenty of ducting for keeping it warm in the coldest of winters.  But as fuel prices went up we installed more and more insulation and eventually when natural gas came to this town we switched to a gas furnace which was 1/4 the size of the coal monster and didn't require having a special room in the basement for the coal and taking up another room for cut wood, or  having the chimney cleaned every year or so.  So much nicer but as you point out, we no longer had the coal ashes for the driveway.  But we also no longer had to cart away the great many more ashes that didn't get used on the driveway.

    Kitty litter works well for that as well. :)

    I hear sand works ok, but I've never tried sand. I've tried kitty litter though and it works great! :)
