And Winter Is Here

Living in Alabama can be strange sometimes, the weather can be mild or a deep freeze. Most of the time winter comes hard in January and February. The last few days of December the temperature was nice and most people wore short sleeves by day and a light jacket or long sleeve shirt by night. We did have a few storms with tornadoes, this happens when winter fights and wins. Yesterday was cooler and I wore long sleeves, however, the next week.... Cold! Freezing temperatures are here. I dislike winter. How's the weather where you are?

I live around Springfield, Missouri, we're still getting some nice daytime temps but in the 40s or lower during the night and early mornings. We've had several freezing rains that melted off by late afternoon but no snow yet, thank goodness. I don't enjoy Winter like I did when I was a kid.

@andriaperry The new forecast is showing freezing rain and snow for Saturday and Sunday here. Good luck there!

Yeah, same here. Starting to look, feel, act and sound like winter. We have a major storm headed our way, so I guess we'll have to hunker down a bit and just grin and bear it.

@andriaperry I can imagine. They don't deal with winter weather very well here in Southern Illinois either. We'd get a 10" drop in Wisconsin and the roads and alleys would all be cleared in a couple of hours.

At least Noccalula Falls has water going over it again. A few months ago it was more like “Noccalula Drip.” Here? Cold and sunny, soon to be colder and sn*wy. I’d be escaping if I didn’t have a doctor’s appointment and there wasn’t a possibility of sn*w down south where I’d be escaping to. So I wait…and tell the weatherman who keeps saying “bring on the sn*w” that HE is in charge of cleaning HIS sn*w out of MY driveway.

Oklahoma too gets coldest in January and February. It’s been very nice lately, but starting Sunday, I believe, it drops down in the 20s and 30s.

@andriaperry Yeah, I think here the lowest temp should be 25 degrees. Not nearly as bad as others will get.

It's chilly (in our Southern CA standards) in the mornings, but later on it's been warming up - today to mid 70s. The next few days seems like it will be in the high 60s.

"Pretty mild here, no tornadoes thankfully! Stay warm—sounds like winter's hitting hard for you. I’m not a fan of it either!"

I know you don't like the winter..I don't mind it if I don't have to drive in the snow and ice..which I don't. But the heat and humidity I remember down south..bad, but it was those dang skeeters that got to me

Here in Jamaica highs fluctuate between 70 and 80 F. January and February are the months when we get lots of tourists from Europe and North America.

We had mild temperatures, by our standards, until today. Today and further tonight, we will get colder and colder. But it is January, so better in January than in March or April, because sometimes it happens then too. Get cozy and stay warm.
