New York might be in for a doozy of a winter storm but they're still checking the storm of where it's gonna head off to.

Southern California is expected to see its first windstorm of the year today. :o

Oh my!  :o  Stay safe, L.A. area friends!!!

Oh my!  :o  Stay safe, L.A. area friends!!!

I’m just hoping that it doesn’t affect my ability to work tomorrow. There has been a threat of a possible power outage due to the winds, which are expected to last through tomorrow. In the morning I will find out if I can drive to work.

Oh man, that's horrible.  :o

There’s also one in Altadena (just northeast of L.A.). :o

Authorities say there is "no possibility" of bringing the flames under control yet as the Santa Ana winds and dry weather conditions worsen the situation

I’m just glad it’s not directly affecting me, although the fierce winds have kicked up yet again! >:(

The fires keep growing - now one started in Hollywood Hills.  So awful  :\'(

Yeah, I just saw this one on the tv news an hour or two ago. :-[

Thankfully the winds have subsided.

The Met Office has issued new weather warnings for ice that take effect from Thursday afternoon at 16:00 GMT and continue until Friday morning.

Does your manager have your number when you'd be going back to work?

Evacuation orders were lifted from that area last night, according to what I heard on the news. But that doesn’t mean we’re cleared to go back to the office yet. Still, I will wait for my boss to send us a text to give us an update.

Update: we’re not going into the office today. My boss said she found out that the power isn’t totally back yet; power is gradually being restored to the area.

The winds got heavy again today, prompting more power shutoffs (including at my office this afternoon, interrupting whatever progress my workmates and I made at work today). High wind warnings are still in effect, and will continue through tomorrow.

How was coming into work after all that?

Things were just fine during the morning. It’s just that we lost the power in the afternoon, so we couldn’t get any more work done at that point. Hopefully the power is restored; if not, we’ll have another canceled day of work, and that would not be good.

The wind advisories from earlier this week expired on Wednesday. So there’s no more wild weather to speak of in Southern California for now.

NYC is supposed to get some snow for Sunday Night 2-4 inches of it.

Storm Éowyn has been named by the Met Office and will bring severe gales to parts of the United Kingdom on Friday.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind on Friday and Saturday.

Gusts of up to 90mph (145km/h) - or possibly even more - could bring localised damage, power cuts and travel disruption. Heavy rain and hill snow are also expected.

In the Southeastern US, areas that haven't seen snow in decades such as South Georgia, Northern Florida, and Louisiana could get a few inches from a snowstorm.

...and you have been shovelling it?

Yes we have but it wasn't much it's now a lot of frozen ice.

Red warnings have been issued for Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland on Friday, as dangerous Storm Éowyn heads towards the UK.

And we have more such conditions today! :o

Millions have received an emergency phone alert over the approaching Storm Éowyn, as schools and transport networks are due to shut and people asked to stay home in parts of the UK.

And we have more such conditions today! :o

Needless to say, the winds are starting more wild fires, one of which I could actually smell despite its origin being at least 30 or 40 miles away.

Red weather warnings, meaning there is a danger to life, are in place for large parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland, as Storm Éowyn batters the UK and Ireland. People in some areas have been told to stay at home, with schools closed and widespread travel disruption.

Last weekend, southern California had some rain, which helped get rid of the flames from the wildfires (and made the firefighters’ jobs easier). Now, as of earlier this week, the two biggest fires are both 100% contained! Even better, there are no more active fires!

Yeah, I know I am a bit late to respond to this post but as I was looking through this thread, I did a double take because one of my granddaughters name is Eowyn. And yeah, she is a storm. She is going to be 16 (is that possible?) next month. Need I say anything more?

And now, with today being Groundhog Day, I wonder if the groundhog saw its shadow?

He saw his shadow so there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

It figures, it's cold anyway so who cares?  ::)

Depends on what part of the world you’re in.

I feel like it's already spring, but that's known as the fake spring that always comes to Georgia in February.

It doesn't feel like Spring here in New York yet but hopefully soon it'll feel like it.

It's still winter until it starts to get warmer.

Technically, it is until the Vernal Equinox, which this year occurs on March 20th.

A spell of colder weather has set in across the UK, with some places likely to see sleet and snow.

Rain is expected to happen all day today in Southern California.

This is likely to cause mudflows in the areas that got burned in last month’s wildfires (which thankfully I’m not going anywhere near).

Yep, the burn areas suffered mudslides, including the area where the Palisades Fire was, thereby closing part of Pacific Coast Highway until it can be cleared up.
