Yesterday was a nice balmy 80F in the afternoon.
This morning around 3am high winds and rains hit the place and then around 7-8am the temps started dropping. By 10am it was 32F and windy, with gusts up to 35-40mph at times.
It's stayed like this all day for the most part. Up on the northern reaches of Texas there was snow I'm guessing as I saw a pickup truck with icicles hanging from the bottom of the back bumper and a wee bit of snow on top of it. Then I was more ice and slush in the wheelarches along with some snow on the hood/bonnet.
Tomorrow and into Thursday it's supposed to get low as the teens to 20s and somewhere around 40F as a high. Luckily, Bodger has doctors appointments tomorrow all day long so won't be freezing the cajones off thank you very much.
For those Blog readers in the UK and Europe who are thinking "What's he rabbitting on about, that's not too bad!". For here it's like being in Siberia. The locals aren't used to this type of weather for the most part though The Bodger for one loves it, as long as there's a Thermos full of tea to keep him warm while outside having to earn a crust so he can get the things needed for his projects.
So if you're in a warm place right now reading this, have some pity on those who have to be out in this cold, windy weather.

Saw a weather report that said it was snowing from North Texas to New York. Sun's broke out here in the Sacramento Valley and it is a balmy 63 degrees at the moment. It will hit near freezing tonight but at least the days have been warming up a bit. January has been a bit dry, but the snow pack in the Sierras is hitting record accumulations. Last week I was working out in the cold and dreary weather we had then.Well Bodger,keep your powder dry-and your monkeys warm,and don't take any wooden gudgeon pins. Hairy Larry
ReplyDeleteToday was even worse, think it was a high of 27F. I saw an electronic sign that said 18F at one point.
ReplyDeleteThis winter storm caught the whole state off guard and statewide rolling brownouts were the order for most of the day.
Tomorrow is supposed to be just as cold. Luckily a physical in the PM so won't in the cold all day.
Lovely balmy weather here today Bodge, but yesterday was cold, very wet and very windy. A heady 7degrees!
ReplyDeleteThe cold, windy weather is absolutely great, haven't been in this since the early 90s in Korea! This'll defo wake ya up in the morning!
ReplyDeleteWe had a bit of snow Thursday morning, but thankfully didnt stay around long, then the strong winds and rain started, seen a few cars sitting in BIG puddles on the road home tonight.
ReplyDeleteHey Bodger think your in the wrong country if you like the cool weather...
Aye, that I am Kawa. Would love to be there in Alba, but taxes, price of petrol and getting a job scuppers that idea.
ReplyDeleteaoh well, will try and enjoy this weather while I can.
If a bloke from work posts a piccie on Faceache, then that'll be part of the next posting aboot the grand weather we're havibng here. A hint; a 30minute drive to the Postal salt mines took 1h45min today. Two guesses why!
