Wow, I don't even know, I don't think that New York will much to hardly any snow but you never know we could get a snow-less January and February and then in March NY gets walloped with a foot of snow before the first day of Spring.

Punxsutawney (thankfully the predictive suggestion found the name with the correct spelling) Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter as today is Groundhog Day.

I guess they won't be seeing Spring anytime soon.

But this cold spell won't last long as temps will be in the low to mid 40's to near 50 by the end of the week.

London had it's snow for the winter, things are warming up now.

Bat, the long range forecast for NYC sees temps above normal again and just a few days below normal, like a roller coaster. :o

Regarding Chicagoland I declare, save a few nasty spells this winter's been quite mild overall.  The next few days are forecast to hit around 50, not so common for mid-February here.  January was mostly mild here, too, upper 30s to 40s.  December was probably when the winter weather was the worst - before Christmas.

Like one of the weathermen said we this month are supposed to be in the dead of winter with snow and sub-freezing cold but he doesn't see any snow right now, just a lot of rain. 

Except for that one night deep freeze Vermont also has had a mild winter, and it's feeling like spring already.  Climate change anyone?

I'm not saying that we should get a blizzard but at least maybe a few inches of snow.

The mountains of Georgia had a little bit of snow last night and this morning.

I think we will see weather in reverse, Spring In The Winter and Winter In The Spring.

We're going to have very unreasonable warmth next week due to a stratospheric warning event. It's supposed be up in the 80's in Georgia on Thursday.

Doesn't Georgia get snow? ???

NYC will be up into the 50's after a brief chill tomorrow and by next week we're back to Spring temperatures once again.

Doesn't Georgia get snow? ???


Not this winter. Not even the mountains got anything measurable other than a dusting or flurries. Here in the metro Atlanta we could go a few years without any snow (last I remember was 2020).

Snowed yesterday, snowing right now, and I gotta go out later

I have been posting my day-to-day weather conditions in the "How's the weather" thread in WOTW, but this time my region (southern California) has some noteworthy weather in the form of heavy rains, which are causing flood conditions. :o In addition, the higher-elevation areas are seeing some snow.

Believe it or not, some lower elevation areas actually received a trace amount of snow yesterday, including some within ten miles of me! :o (I found this out on the TV news this morning.) If I can find some pictures (from news web sites), I’ll see if I can show them.

It is not looking nothing like winter in the UK, and only feeling of coldness is in the first thing of the morning.

I heard about a dusting to 2 inches, that's tolerable.

Very cold here today, and it will not snow.

All NYC got was about an inch and a half of snow but as for California they're pretty much buried in snow. :o

The current round of storms in So Cal is not quite over yet. We’re supposed to get more tonight and tomorrow. Some of the hardest-hit places are still in disarray, with downed trees and unstable ground.

Was this more than a foot of snow? :o

Motorists have been told to only drive if necessary in areas covered by the Met Office's amber weather warnings. These alerts are now in force across the UK - with heavy snow expected in a stretch from Stoke-on-Trent to Durham, as well as North Wales and some of Northern Ireland.

I saw in some parts will be getting more snow and a total of 15 feet of heavy snow. :o

That has been the case in mountainous areas in southern California. And it still is. It’s probably gonna get worse up there this weekend with more rain expected to fall. I’m just glad I don’t have to go near there.

There is snow on the hills

NYC will be getting a mix of rain and snow for Monday Night into Tuesday.

There has been no rain at all in southern California today; earlier in the week there was a chance for some during the morning and early afternoon hours today, but that changed, which was fine because we needed a break from it. And I was able to go out to do a couple of errands without worrying about getting wet. Furthermore, the sun actually came out! :)

New York is supposed to get some sort of Nor'easter tomorrow night into Tuesday in the form of mostly rain.

Which will turn to wet snow when it reaches us in VT

Rain will be back in So Cal later this week, with the majority of it to fall on Tuesday! We’ll see how that holds up.

After the early spring we had, it's like winter is not done with us. It's not the first time I remember having a warm February but a cold March in Georgia.

This has been an interesting winter with January And February being above normal and warm temperatures but as for March, it seems winter just wants one last grasp.

I guess supermarkets can now put the shovels and salt away, New York never had a winter and all we got was just dustings and all rain, maybe next year we'll get a blizzard.

There was a similar incident in Carpinteria, well up the coast from L.A., which damaged a trailer park.

Deadly tornado last night in Mississippi which killed at least two dozen people.

I wonder what April will bring in NYC as far as the weather is concerned, will we still see snow?

We had high winds all day yesterday here in Picksburgh. Dead branches and fallen trees all over the place.  :o

The ski resorts in California have enough snow to keep the slopes open until June.

Not in the mountains, and they have enough to not melt until well into the summer months.

A pretty nice week for New York until the weekend when it will rain.

Last week we went from summer to winter within 3 days here in GA. It was in the upper 80's on Wednesday, and on Saturday it was only in the 40's for the high and raining.

NYC will see a bit of summer by the end of the week until we get a thunderstorm to bring the temps back to normal by next week.

When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May"

It's been a relatively cool for late April in Georgia. Temps barely making it up to 70.

NY has been a bit below normal last week but hopefully when May arrives we can finally get nice spring temperatures.

We haven’t got much of a spring here. Some cool days yes but hardly any rain or thunderstorms, which I love! 😢 I have a feeling summer will come quick as it usually does here. I can’t handle winter weather. I get a short fall and spring, my two favorite seasons.

Heavy storms have caused flash flooding and widespread disruption across swathes of England. In North Cadbury, Somerset, homes were evacuated when 18 properties in the village became overwhelmed with water. Witnesses reported "torrential" rain in Devon, with walls of water appearing following an afternoon deluge. A thunderstorm warning for the south and south west, East Anglia and parts of the Midlands was in place until about 22:00 BST on Tuesday.

NYC will see another few days of Summer this weekend when Friday And Saturday will be about 80-85.

Spring seems to be in full bloom by next week when temps will be in the low to mid 70's.
