What's the weather like where you are? (4)

71 with a nice, chilly north wind! In other words, beautiful!!

Chilly tonight, but clear skies.

Reminds me of when we were kids and we would say "chilly tonight, but hot tamale".

What can I say? We were poor. Didn't have much to play with other than our imaginations.

This is hilarious because I was just thinking the same thing and almost posted it before I saw your post. I love to reflect on the so-called old days. Things were so simple then. I just remembered something I wanted to share. Someone on the block would often order a load of good topsoil to make a nice yard for the kids to play on. Every kid on the block would be drawn to that dirt pile and stay busy having fun for a long time. I remember well that mom didn't like her silverware being used for the finer dirt work. That was one way of getting little gardening tools pretty quickly.

By the way, I still have an imagination and like it.

It was a gorgeous 67F today, and our forecast indicates a low of 32F tonight. My wife and I did a little walking earlier and really enjoyed it.

A beautifully warm day over here today, with just a hint of humidity.

I'm not missms,but I can answer that since I live about three miles away from her. It gets terribly cold here in the winter. Temps near zero F, (Water freezes at 32 F) and winds out of the North can make life miserable. I drive a tall vehicle and you can really feel the winds buffeting that machine in open country.

Once again, as Winter approaches I have to become something of a fuel alchemist. #2 diesel fuel starts gelling when it gets below 20F, so I have to pour special mixes into the tank if I expect to start in the morning. I got caught that way once, and after spending a fortune on getting towed and then getting the fuel system straightened out I don't cater to the idea of letting that happen again. Gasoline burners don't have to think about that, those of us who burn diesel in high latitudes aren't allowed to forget it.

Edit, add-on: Almost forgot, right now it's 45 and clear, highs expected to not quite make 70F today under clear skies. No alchemy needed today.

Yes, Winter is a bit of a bear in the Chicagoland area.

Thanks for the reply to my question, mj. I can't really imagine the cold temps over there, as the temps in NZ are usually no more than about -4C in winter.

Good morning, and THANK GOD IT"S FRIDAY! Now it's 30f but suppose to warm up to the 50's. Don't know if the sun will come out yet or not.

It's beginning to look like our Winter weather won't be nearly as close as it has been between where you live and where I live. It's still high 60s and low 70s here. We had one night with a low of 32F, but lows are now back in the 50s.

 

[Bridgit]

It was sunny and around 60 today. Not bad at all.

 

[kaykay9.0]

Beautiful, sunny and close to 70. In the forties, at night!

 

[missmsdancearama]

right now it's 42f.

 

[joyshirley]

It was a lovely, sunny day today with just a slight breeze in the morning

 

[buttercup2000]

Crisp and cool in New York!

Now I haven't been here much at all in the last while, but my Golden Eagle friends have been in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Hi BC so nice to see you again!
Same weather here

 

[nChrist]

Today it's 84F with an expected low tonight of 47F. Things are supposed to cool down tomorrow. Each day has been gorgeous.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

COLD tonight...expecting a mixed bag mid week; winter... here we come

[Bridgit]

It's a beautiful day today: sunny and in the low 50s.
