There is now a bit of heat in the sun now, so spring is just around the corner, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Looking at some very dangerous weather coming my way by Sunday here in Oklahoma. Blizzard conditions, zero visibility at that time, at least a foot of snow which with the wind will drift several feet high. Sub zero temperatures with a wind chill factor making it feel like -30 or so. That's cold enough to kill you if you get trapped out there and no doubt some will.

Dawnrazor Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 We've had very little snow, but a week of sub zero temps and North/North Easterly Winds everything is frozen rock solid, including our water supply🤬🤬🤬🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 We got a bit more snow overnight, lake effect squalls are supposed to give us 1-3cm per hour for the next six hours, it's cold as well which makes for nice powder skiing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The rain is rapidly shifting the snow here, and with the milder temps this week it'll mostly be gone, might be some left on the higher hills for a while yet. Potholes will be the next problem, several have appeared in my street and I've noticed quite a few in other streets as well, always the same after a really cold snap.

However, it’s May and we still have the heating on. This country is not built for cafe culture either. Compare it to when you go away abroad. Wake up and have a coffee in your balcony or down at the street cafe in T-shirt and shorts This morning I thought it looks sunny for a change so will go into the garden to have my coffee. Soon as I opened the door it got shut again and I was back inside with heating on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I see that the usual red tops are suggesting significant snowfall later in the month with quotes from an expert suggesting it “could” snow later this month, temperatures “may” plummet and there is a “chance” of snow in December.
