The Weather.

Ridiculous unseasonably warm temps for January but I'm not complaining because I have been able to not turn the heat on. I like saving money especially since I get my Medicare raise this month so it will be nice to not spend it on the electric bill lol.

There is an awful lot of rain in the forecast...days and days of it. ...8 out of the next 14 days. And too warm for snow.

Very warm day here with near 80 degrees!

I just popped out to the shops and it is very chilly and rainy. I was glad to get indoors.

 

[Chryssie]

Beautiful day here with lots of sun and low 70's.

Now we're back to the 20's F and snow. It was pretty bad driving this morning, so glad I'm used to going in early so I don't need to worry about being late. I was very surprised and happy the everyone was driving 40 MPG on the highway
Later this week, in the 50's!

 

[Chryssie]

We got rain this morning with a cold front. It will be in the 30's tonight with a wind chill factor. Tomorrow night will be even colder with a freeze and frost. I will have to turn on the heat!

What a difference a day makes.

Yesterday morning:


This morning:



Don’t pay attention to the snow…it’s not happening.

 

[Raven]

Raining as usual!

 

[Chryssie]

It is 37 degrees with a brisk breeze making it feel like 31! It is only going to get up to 52 with a wind chill factor all day.

 

[Lou]

So much rain

A friend of mine has a creek in her backyard, we are getting worried for her.

It's awful in California. My step daughter is half a mile from Sacramento and she's been getting water in her living space...son's bedroom, hallway and a little bit in the master bedroom. They had just refinanced and had the floors redone and did some other renovations. They had to rip out the carpet already in the son's bedroom because it started to smell. I feel so bad for them. They did have a little reprieve the last two days. But It's raining right now and water is seeping through again.

 

[Chryssie]

I had to scrape frost off my windshield this morning! It was in the low 30's! I should have taken a picture of this somewhat rare event.

 

[Lou]

It won't stop raining.
I seem to be living in a sweet spot. No fires. No floods, No power outages.

 

[Lou]

And the reservoirs are not filling up like one would expect. They. say most of the rain is going into the ocean. Supposedly we need better "infrastructure". I wonder if any of Dems infrasture money is making it to California to improve levees, dams and waterways.

 

[KLS52]

A girl can dream. I'll even settle for a few flurries while I'm on my walk. Heading out now.

 

[KLS52]

Didn't happen, as suspected.

 

[Lou]

Hey. it's NOT raining. The sun even came out.
but its supposed to start up in 30 minutes.

Y'know I have updates turned on for the Weather Bug app. Most days (or even weeks I don't get any alerts. And half my alerts are about traffic or something. This month I have been getting.... (checking) ... at least 4 a day. Sometimes an even dozen. For instance this morning I got an alert it's about to start raining, that my area has a flood advisory, a high winds advisory, a warning for commuters, and a coastal flood advisory).

I do love the warnings for rain. Although lately they don't seem that useful. For the past month, the answer to the question: Should I bring an umbrellas? Has been Absolutely. No need to check the app.

Fun times!

Also traffic has gone back to Lockdown amounts. A lot of people are just staying home. I guess The Lockdown was good training for The Deluge.

They cancelled school a few times this month and the the teachers just changed back to remote learning. hardly missed a step.

 

[Chryssie]

Another very frosty morning! Had to scrape the car again today. It is warming up though and tomorrow there shouldn't be any frost. I am waiting one more day to put my plants back outside though.

Last weekend in the teens all day, by week end they're predicting mid 50's
