We were 16C today :p I think we switched weather this week from last week.

[18lbs]

Was it -3 for the coldest of the eve??

We were 30 F this morning. Just wait until it get cold.

[escogt]

42 this morning here in NY, then it warmed up to 55 with a breeze. Good HP weather.

[FoxBuddy]

Well, the first "weather event" for this winter season. Supposed to get 4" of snow and be -11*C (12F) tonight. Mediocre mid-week. Blah!

Man, that looks awful... :(

[MikeFleming]

79 degrees here just now. I think I'll go for a drive.

[FoxBuddy]

The worst part it was beautiful and around 70 yesterday. That's Alberta weather for you.

:stick_poke:

That's not nice. Hit a guy while he's down. This was my '82 GT and the SVO a couple of weeks ago :(

70 F this morning at 0530 when I drove to the office.

With many snowbirds down there they mentioned it on our weather here tonight.

I assume your parka still fits then?

[MikeFleming]

I assume your parka still fits then? Thanks for the reminder. It's out in the north forty near the water collection tank. I should collect that.

[MikeFleming]

Yesterday was 55 F on the drive into work. Today is is 42.

If this keeps up, I may need to buy some socks.

[FoxBuddy]

Yesterday was 55 F on the drive into work. Today it is 42.

Awesome. We were about the same this morning! We are straight north of you (relatively speaking), so the saying is true about sh** flowing downhill!

Its been in the 40's here in northwest Ohio it warmed up today to about 60 but it has rained since about 10 this morning.

[MikeFleming]

82 F here just now. 49 on the morning drive to work.

[FoxBuddy]

** here just now. ** on the morning drive to work.

My spam blocker is working nicely!

Nice today; 50. Some snow again tomorrow and Sunday.

[MikeFleming]

No snow for us, please. Doing battle with Flat Bob's Nemesis tomorrow.

Some snow again tomorrow and Sunday.

Well pretty much all of that first blast last weekend melted during the week and while we didn't get as much as predicted this weekend, we got another four inches or so (and it looks like the previous picture again). The highway north of the city is closed due to high winds and drifting right now (they must be erring on the side of caution because people forget how to drive in winter).

I talked to my dad this morning. They live about 90 miles north and west, closer to the foothills and they got over a foot and it was still coming down!

Not quite like Arizona!

[84svounoh]

Just wondering how terrible are these cars in the snow

[MikeFleming]

^
Tyres are more important than the vehicle in snow/ice. The SVO is very light in the rear but the power comes on much slower than a v-ate car would so it's easier to control in limited traction conditions. Imho.

[84svounoh]

Well I'm about to buy 4 new Goodyear eagle sports which is technically an all season tire. I know it will be bad though

Typically not the car's fault for not being good in snow. Tires as Mike mentioned are very important. It's amazing here when we can have winter driving for six to eight months that people cannot drive for the road conditions. Everyone is in a hurry, speed, not leave enough room to stop etc. Every year they need to retrain themselves!

[Chalky]

Just wondering how terrible are these cars in the snow

Don't know about snow, but they HATE ice. Just trust me on that one!!!!

[FoxBuddy]

Well it is nice today...and then it's all downhill from there Monday. Sh** or get off the pot eh Old Man Winter? We've only had snow on the ground for over a month already anyways. This is in Celcius too! If you were to convert it would still be really cold! Notice the "feels like" note for wind chill? At least Wednesday, there is to be little to no wind.

5761

[MikeFleming]

High-40's (F) in the deep dark cold of the night and low-mid-80's all day long. Some warm coffee in the mornings and then it's perfect shop weather. Stop by if you're in the area.

Good thing we didn't get more snow. Here is a pic of my truck after being parked all day.

This was one of those blizzards to remember. City half paralyzed with drifting from 30+ MPH winds, highways closed all around, cars stuck all over the place. The wind is to die today and the sun come out. -20C and no wind isnt that bad when youre dressed for it.

[rodster]

Now that doesn't look like fun. :(

[FoxBuddy]

Ok, its starting to get cold. -37C windchill tomorrow morning!

It was actually balmy here in PA today...

[Chalky]

It's snowing in P-town today!!!

[in2fords]

we got some snow in So. Oregon, Im glad the shop has a good heater cause my Hawaiian bones dont like this cold!!

[MikeFleming]

22 F overnight, 34-37 on the morning drive to the office. Too cold for the summer-only tyres on the EVO.

[MikeFleming]

It's just really hard to paint in really cold weather. And forget about getting emblems, trim and such to stick on.

[in2fords]

we have great heaters in the shop and the phones have allready been ringing off the hook. I wish there wasnt so many wrecks but this scratch and dent work keeps the daily bills paid so we can complete the big jobs we have in :)

all we have in right now is the old t-bird, 55 chevy, 41 ford convert, first year imported vw bug, 53 chevy truck and 64 falcon, all long term projects. The 55 chevy 2 dr is due on xmas but other then that we need a few little payments now :)

Well we have had 50 hours of freezing rain-so far...I consider myself fortunate to still have electricity. As a bonus we got 8" of granular snow on top of the ice overnight. Its expected to slowly clear out today. Hope all my SVO friends are safe.

[brownsvo]

I caught a lot of shit when American muscle shared this pic of my cobra when i left it out in the freezing rain. I couldnt beleive the ignorance lol..
My favorite was "if they could afford a cobra, then they could easily afford another car to beat on."

It would make a nice Christmas card. :D

[Ford Builder]

Poor Cobra , baby its cold out side.

[rodster]

No icicles here today, record high of 62deg so I spent the day in the garage w/ the SVO. :cool:

[MikeFleming]

36 degrees F driving to work this morning. Heat of day yesterday - while working in the shop - was 62.

[FoxBuddy]

We actually had a decent Christmas week of slightly above normal temps. Capped off with +10*C (50*F) yesterday- it was a real beauty!

Last night, they had a "fast freeze" warning as a cold front was going to come through. I'd seen many other type of warnings before, not this. The wind picked up to northerly gusts over 30 mph, some freezing rain on the leading edge that turned into a couple inches of drifted snow and the temperature dropping to -18*C (0F) overnight!

Pretty crazy temperature swing for ~6 hours!

[MikeFleming]

58 F here outside just now.

[brsvo]

We are in the middle of that cold swing right now as it was 40 here yesterday and now the wind is up to 30+ MPH and its supposed to be a high of single didgets by tomorrow!

[18lbs]

This is all I can say

[Mike Croke]

You guys do know you can move to better climates, right?

[18lbs]

Actually no I can't

[MikeFleming]

63 F outside here just now. Another scorching winter day in Southern Arizona. That's why the whole state is shown in red on most maps.

[FoxBuddy]

You guys do know you can move to better climates, right?

If you can you arrange to have my job moved with me, I'm on the way! :fasttruck:


Actually no I can't

I'm in denial too, knowing I really can't. I just need to spend more time R&R'ing in those better climates when it sucks here!

[Chalky]

Currently 81 in Honalulu, I'm gonna miss this when I het back to Oregon.

[Laredo]

You suck...!! :)

[rodster]

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This morning...

[Mike Croke]

Another shorts and t-shirt day here.

I used to travel for an employer years ago. Where ever I went, I was offered a job. In each instance, I had to explain that no matter the pay or how great the job was, I'd wind up quitting so I could go live some where nice. A job is not something I'm willing to sacrifice my day-to-day happiness for.

[MikeFleming]

We have an environmental testing room here that will go from -85 F to +260. We put electronic stuff in there and break it.

And the NASA folks across the street have rooms that go MUCH colder.

[Chalky]

Doug, you ever miss OR/ WA much??? Coldest we've gotten so far this year was 17 and it was a bad night to be working outside, lemme tell ya, it was Grimm:):):)

Haven't been outside yet today but it's a beautiful 66 sitting on the couch.

And let me guess Mike, you never put your beer in that testing room do you? :cool: Correct, I do not.

I just put it in the refrigerator in the Stock Room. Right next to my lunch.

Time to put away the parka & break out the shorts!

Time to put away the parka & break out the shorts!

I remember seeing a documentary about scientists in Antarctica that play soccer bare chested in the "summer" down there when it is still slightly below freezing. When you're climatized to the cold, a slight warm up feels like summer I guess!

We had more snow again last night. If it keeps up like this, we'll be setting more records! The picture doesn't do it justice. The snow in my yard is close to 16" deep right there.

60106011

[brsvo]

I agree that after -10 for a while 25 feels pretty warm. We need that kind of stuff to make the rest of winter feel tolerable.

I see your area; Manitoba, Northern Ontario and south to you has been pretty darned cold!

[SnakePlisskin]

Sunny and 60 here! The above posts are large reason I left NY. The northeast is about to get a storm thursday/friday. My hometown Poughkeepsie in the hudson valley looking at a foot of snow. suckers! lol

[SnakePlisskin]

Since Mike hasn't posted, sunny and 65 today, low of 41 this evening and clear.

[MikeFleming]

Sorry, I forget to post weather report some days.

This AM's drive to the office saw a low of 48 F. This aftn and most of the weekend is supposed to be 67 and sunny. Pretty much the same as Vegas.

Now where should I take a leisurely drive to?

[JTurbo]

Forecast for New England. Going to be really cold tonight.....

Drive up to Phoenix and enjoy mid-70s through the weekend!

[Meotchh]

Mid 30's to high 40's in Seattle. Looking forward to warm weather in Vegas for the next 5 days!

[FoxBuddy]

In Southern Alberta we get a weather phenomenon called a Chinook (named after the westerly wind). When the weather pattern is right, warm air comes over the mountains from the Pacific and gets us warmed up in a blink sometimes. Yesterday was +8C (46F)! Man it was beautiful, the melting snow made the roads pretty messy. It actually felt like a spring day! The bad thing is when a cold front comes (typically with a bit of snow), it can go away in the same fashion: quick. This year we seem to be back and forth every week or less (with quite a bit of snow already).


So this morning...woke up to a mini blizzard and another 4" of snow with the thermometer on the way down to freezing temps again! The roads sucked.

6047

I'll soon be running out of places to put it in my back yard! Our dogs have quite the playground when they get running and playing. It's going to take half the summer to melt these piles this year.

6048

[rodster]

I thought I told you guys to keep your winter weather. :p

Great......snow and now a low of -4F forecast for tonight!

[Kendal Coker]

It is going to be 5 degrees in North Alabama Monday morning. Ya'll can keep the cold weather, we are not use to it here. I am looking forward to global warming.

That's got to be a record low for down there no?

No such thing as global warming....... now it's 'climate change'.

[SnakePlisskin]

Ah cute little doggies! Throw your snow over the fence!

Suuny 65 today, it's so terrible here!:stick_poke:

I started doing that. Ugh, my poor back.

Oh yeah, woke up to a few more inches of snow and it's 0 F.

[Meotchh]

Leaving behind these freezing temps in Seattle, 31° :-)

Vegas bound for warmer weather & CES.

[FoxBuddy]

Throw your snow over the fence!


I started doing that. Ugh, my poor back.

This was to the left of what you already saw! I think I've already shoveled close to as many times what I did all last winter!

6075

[FoxBuddy]

Brrr again. Clear sky overnight and sitting at -24C (-11F) with a -30C (-22F) windchill. Old man winter needs to take a vacation!

[Mike Croke]

We went to two parties yesterday. First was mostly in the garage and back yard. We wrenched on a car and a quad for a while then moved to the back yard later. Shorts and t-shirts for most attendants, doors and windows open in the house.

Second soiree was later in the evening after sun down so the temps had dropped. We still wound up in the back yard when the host started a small fire. Apparently, after we left, a couple people went for a polar dip in the pool. The pools get chilly here in the winter because few people heat them.

[FoxBuddy]

6047

Sometimes it is good living on a bus route. The windrows were getting large enough that the roads are almost impassible for two cars going opposite directions and you (not me) cannot park on the road without hindering traffic even more. Enter our fine tax dollars at work. This is only the second time they have had to do this in the 17 years we've lived here. The last time they did it, it was way further into the winter. They graded it and hauled it all away (my side of the road and that's all that matters :) ) And BTW it is still really cold outside today!

60886089

[rodster]

Reminds me of the snow we had back in '95-'96. There is a road and driveway somewhere in the picture. If you know how big front end loaders are, you can judge how deep the snow was!

[k98dave]

Do a search of recorded snow storms and for the NE and mid west and it shows a regular cycle. Now for whatever reason now its a major new item with all kinds of stories.
Wish they would just say......It snowed, stop complaining, dig out and carry on.

[blueboss]

It's not the snow, it's the cold. It's warmer in Fairbanks Alaska than in Cleveland right now. As I type this, it's -1F and dropping. When I left for work this morning, it was 31F. We're supposed to go down to -18F tonight with a -40F to -50F wind chill. Snow we can deal with, but this particular flavor of cold is a little much. It's cool though.....by Friday, we'll be in the low 40's.

[MikeFleming]

Very low 40's on the drive to work this morning. High 60's by 1400. Mid-60s now.

You northerners can keep that snow stuff.

17 deg in Fort Worth this morning. High today was 29, its back to low 20's tonight.

[MAPSVO]

2 degrees this morning in KY. The SVOs are all tucked away with their covers on waiting for spring. I did have to move the Cobra outside and it's ice/snow covered. I hate having to put a car outside. It's not supposed to be above freezing until next Tuesday. I keep telling the wife I need another garage :stick_poke:

[MikeFleming]

46 on the morning drive today. Looks like our 4 days of "winter" have passed. Supposed to reach mid-70's for the next 2 weeks. Perfect track weather.

[brsvo]

What do you track now days the Red Baron or your EVO?

[MikeFleming]

EVO. It's a much better highway car.

[FoxBuddy]

I went and swapped steering wheels on my '82 today and I had to take a gander at the SVO while there. It was -25*C last night and -18*C today.

Stupid groundhog. Take your six more weeks of winter and shove it!

After a bitter start to the winter with lots of snow, we had a nice three week warm up after New Years, then another three weeks of bitter. Another Chinook (which they call a Pineapple Express this time by the way the weather system sets up) has come. Sure beats the -30C wind chills earlier in the week!

[MikeFleming]

Sometimes I think this should have been called Mikes brag thread! Let's see which way that envy turns in June and July.

[Chuck]

85 here today and 88 tomorrow...maybe a record. Just think, by June it'll be 497 degrees if this keeps up.

[brsvo]

This is true Mike! Warm weather States like to talk in winter. Kind of like gamblers that tell you how much they won but never how much they spent to win it!

[MikeFleming]

85 here today and 88 tomorrow...maybe a record. Just think, by June it'll be 497 degrees if this keeps up. I wouldn't recommend going outside in that weather. Makes you appreciate the solar-powered underground bunker more. TGMC (The Great Man Cave).

[brsvo]

My man cave is on the second floor at this time of year!

[rodster]

I am looking forward to global warming.

Bet the kids love the snow! ;)

[MikeFleming]

94 degrees here this afternoon. Peaks for Friday/Saturday/Sunday to/from and at the track (4200 Ft, in New Mexico) were all 82-84 degrees. Perfect track weather.

[Sick Puppy]

A pic of my 2R SVO from this afternoon, honest it's RED!

Only THREE snow storms this week...so far...lol

[Laredo]

...82-84 degrees. Perfect track weather.

12 more inches expected today / tomorrow, low temps -8F to highs of 10F, Perfect snowmobiling weather!

[Rosamond SVO]

what is this stuff you all are talking about? the only weather we get here is sun and wind. well today we have something falling out of the sky that looks like it should be in a water bottle, this old timer said it was rain but we have not seen anything like this in years.

[BLK BRD 88]

According the the weather channel,it is supposed to start raining here around midnight and rain until late tomorrow night ........If it does, it will be the first moisture of the year here in the Az mountains.
Ron

[84svounoh]

There has been over 70 inches of snow here in Northwest Ohio this year and we're supposed to get 6 to 10 more Sunday. Woohoo lol

[FoxBuddy]

well today we have something falling out of the sky that looks like it should be in a water bottle, this old timer said it was rain but we have not seen anything like this in years.

I was watching the news today and it looks like the prices of produce are going to go up a lot here due to the drought.

Sun and wind I could handle right now!

Wind with these temps? BITTER! This is the winter that won't end....sigh. The cold front is supposed to have upwards of -40 winchill in the morning before it calms a bit.
6459

[FoxBuddy]

I'm so excited. It's is supposed to creep over the freezing mark for the first time in around three weeks! Upward and +10*C on Saturday and Sunday! Almost warm enough to work in the garage with the door open!

It didn't even freeze last night and it almost feels tropical compared to what we were dealing with!

Weather channel predicts 6-8" of snow tomorrow. ENOUGH ALREADY!

[MikeFleming]

NPR reported late last week that the average temps in Southern Arizona over the past three month period were the hottest ever in recorded history (~120 years) with a daily average (throughout our "winter") of 56 F. They also mentioned that rainfall over the same time period was 2" below the average (of the last three decades).

2" out of a yearly average of 11" is a bunch.
http://average-rainfall.weatherdb.com/l/28/Tucson-Arizona

That's serious weather change stuff right there.

[FoxBuddy]

Yesterday: Update on the spring of 2014 and a six hour snow storm. I think I could handle some rain instead. It was barely above the freezing mark! On the plus side (no pun intended), before it started in the morning, the junkyard wasn't busy. Supposed to "normalize" today and be sunny and a little warmer.

Several 100º+ days forecast for next week. But ... but ... it's only 77 F just now. We saw some high 90 temps late in the week.

[Mike Croke]

It's not the highs during the summer months. The lows are what matter to me as the oven season approaches. For another few weeks, it's still cool in the morning and evening so I can work in the garage or outside. When the temps are still 90°-100°F at 2am, the only escape is to stay indoors or to travel to the higher elevation areas of the state.

Yeah, but it is 'dry' heat...right?!? For reference, I had a trip to Dubai back in August 2012 where I had to do some rework on some of our products in a warehouse. Needless to say, the warehouse was not air conditioned in any way, shape or form. They had a swamp cooler unit that didn't do much more than blow air around...better than nothing as the average high for the 5 days I was working was 105, but the kicker was the heat index was 135-140 deg F. Walking outside into direct sunlight was like walking into an IR oven. I have no idea how the road crews there were working in full gear during the midday sun. I had to drink 1 liter of water per hour just to stay barely hydrated. Going out for a short walk after dinner was almost as rough as the relative humidity at 10pm was ~98% with ~100 deg temps still.

In any case, can't complain about today, 75 deg, sunny and light breezes with lows going down into the low 50's tonight...oh yea!

[Mike Croke]

:cool: The humidity is what matters to me. I'll take 110°F @ 10% humidity over the Midwest's 90°F @ 90%.

[Chuck]

Make no mistake. A dry heat is what we cook our turkeys in for Thanksgiving. Opening your front door in august is just like opening the oven door and sticking your head in.

[svono50]

:cool: The humidity is what matters to me. I'll take 110°F @ 10% humidity over the Midwest's 90°F @ 90%.

No arguments here, temps today were 84 deg with a 70 deg dew point...can you say HUMID, I knew you could. Hunted jackrabbits in the desert flats on the northern end of Great Salt Lake when I was a teenager, much more manageable heat than the 'wet' crap we see in late summer. Dubai was like a sauna out of control, the only way to explain it was that the air felt 'heavy' and/or 'oppressive'.

[FoxBuddy]

Well here we go again.

So it looks like we went a hair over four months without snow. Freak early snowstorm that started Monday afternoon with rain. Been hovering around the freezing mark since then! It looks like a war zone today on the streets, power outages, LOTS of trees are severely damaged all over the city and in the snow zone. Crops are flattened that weren't already cut....and back to 70* on the weekend.

At least with spring snow, the leaves aren't out to catch the snow to weigh them down!

Neighbor's tree this morning and afternoon after the snow stopped. Not much left to look at.

The whole city is like this in many places.

What I came home to today. There was only a couple downed branches yesterday. I think I got off lucky as I didn't lose any huge branches. I was worried the large one in the back right would break right off with the size and weight!

[MikeFleming]

On Monday some parts of Tucson received 5.8-6.2 inches of rain. On one day. There were 4+ foot waves of water covering many roadways from door-to-door of businesses that lined the roadways and an hour after the rains stopped you still couldn't see the sidewalks from the roadway. Braille Driving.

The newly-installed electric trolley system had to shutdown for a few hours as the tunnels they used to travel through had 10+ feet of water in them and some streets had 2+ feet of water. The tracks still have lots of rocks and sand in them. I wonder how they play to clean that stuff out? I stayed inside most of that day and traveled home after everyone else got wet.

That's ~50% of our ANNUAL rainfall on ONE DAY. Fun times. Gotta get a bigger boat and refll the scuba tanks.

[MikeFleming]

We have finally shifted to 'light jacket weather' here in SoAZ. This mornings drive was a dark, crisp 70 F.

[MikeFleming]

34 F today on the morning drive. 83 outside just now.

[svono50]

Bite me! 10.9 deg F this morning and now currently 11.2 deg F...never got out of the teens today and sporadic flurries all day. Is this November or January???

[MikeFleming]

Is this November or January??? Are those months supposed to have different weather? Always looked the same to me - from here.

[Under Pressure]

72* and dry here inside. UPS delivered my new cam so I'm keeping it warm. 33* in the garage. In a few days it'll be in the 60's fire up the propane heater and get the cam installed. Then I'll let her breath some nice cold air.:fasttruck:

[MikeFleming]

87 F here yesterday aftn.

[Rosamond SVO]

mike it might be 87 but the rain is coming your way. It has been raining here for the past 14 hours and not going to stop till Wed mid day.

[MikeFleming]

I wouldn't actually call it "rain" just yet, but there is some increased moisture in the air. 60 degrees at 0530 today. Moisture warms things up.

And I want it to go away - I need to use the blast cabinet and wet media no spray so good.

[SnakePlisskin]

finally a cold week here, low 30's and windy out, kinda feels like NY! haha

[MikeFleming]

Last PM reached into the mid-20's and the late-PM precipitation yesterday left this slippery white stuff that is slowly melting and falling off the solar panels. Mid-30's just now and the sun is making a comeback.

[MikeFleming]

Wow - this thread hasn't been updated in a very long time.

Today just now is 104F at 9%. Weatherpersons say this week will be 10-15 F above normal seasonal temps. So only another ten degrees to go. Where's my hat?

[Under Pressure]

It's not the heat, its the humity, unless you're in the sun, 94 degrees 55 % humity, 74 inside

[grntRUDD13]

We have the humidity in KS right now. It's pretty brutal some days. The worst place I've ever been was New Orleans. That was pretty miserable. It was over 100° and air so thick you could cut it with a knife.

[Under Pressure]

I'll say you're right about LA. I lived in Baton Rouge & New Orleans for awhile drink a lot of water.

[MikeFleming]

Last week's drive to work was 38 F on he drive in, 84 F the way back. Yesterday the drive home was 94 F. The server room is a steady 67 F at 55%.

It's getting really hard to plan a wardrobe.

Low 60's just now - mostly overcast all day.

Blame El Niño. We had a ten or 11 days "heat wave" (by definition) the first half December. Now it's winter with another fresh few inches on top of the other we had gotten last week. White Christmas!

[FoxBuddy]

OK - now I'm confused. How can it be 92% RH and -15(C) at the same time?

That's a good question I can't answer. I got it off an app off the internet. It must be true.

Honestly I can't comment. Maybe it's El Niño. It always feels colder when the humidity is up in the winter (think coastal) but it's not usually high here in the winter at this elevation. It makes that -30 c day slightly more tolerable I suppose.

[MikeFleming]

The outside temp gauge here shows 34 F just now. It's been snowing for about an hour after raining reasonably steady for the previous three hours. There's 4-5 inches of snow on my solar panels so solar power output just now is zero.

If it's any consolation, I heard it's snowing south of you in Mexico too.

The arctic air is moving away for a couple of days and going from -14c to possibly above the freezing mark tomorrow as a Chinook is set to blow in (or as Leonardo DiCaprio put it in a recent interview that he "witnessed global warming" while filming "The Revenant" near here and a Chinook came).

Today's morning temp was 38F, petrol is back up to 2.04 while 3 weeks ago (most recent time I fed my car) it was 1.19.

That's insane prices for fuel! Our high taxing Canadian governments have kept our prices around .95 per liter ($3.61 Cdn./US gallon). I think with conversion that would be around $2.50 US/gal.

We have had a ton of rain over the last two weeks. Yesterday had a couple of episodes where it was monsoon-like for hours!

[MikeFleming]

Last week was interesting, weather-wise. This is "normally" (whatever that means) our cold[er] season. Early in the week started with 2017's typical +6 F over average and ended at +20 F for Wed-Fri.

So if any of you "northerners" (residents of cold country) are thinking about a visit in Southern Arizona this year, y'alls best do it before May, when it gets "hot".

But I gotta ask: How many of those folks walked out on stage under their own power (sans wheelchairs)?

[Under Pressure]

All of them walked out. Played their instruments, still had their vocals. But they are in their early 70's. The guy I saw last year that was performing like he was in his 20's was John Mayall he's 83. You Millennials have never heard of him but a lot of the rock stars started with his band over 50 years ago. Peter Rivera was the best concert I've ever been to, and I've been to a few. His new CD is great, "It is What it is"

[FoxBuddy]

Late winter cold snap...

-20°C high with a wind chill around -28°C yesterday and another 4" of fresh snow over the last few days. Its supposed to be above freezing next week again! I blame the stupid groundhog for predicted six more weeks of winter!

We can usually expect some snow in March and even April but it's usually closer to "normal" temps which btw is supposed to be +3°C this time of year.

[MikeFleming]

Mid-70's here all week. Had some friends come in from Montana last week - they left 4 feet of snow and drove back to an additional foot coming.

I don't understand what Northerners like about snow. It's "fun" for a few hours, but for months? Naw.

Unless you are a skier or are into snow machines no one likes snow except for the look outside. I on the other hand love spring and fall and hate the heat of summer. Never mind the heat of southern summer.

When I worked at the Bondurant Shccol summer of 1990 the PHX airport was closed during daytime for a two or so weeks. Temps were 125+ and they wouldn't allow any landings/take-offs between 1000-1900 hours.

And there I was working on a 12 acre blacktop standing next to cars with running engines. I think I was younger then.

[MikeFleming]

The average temperature for Tucson this June was 90 F. That's averaging the nite time low and day time high. We had 2 days at 114 F. and 25 days of 100+. That's just June. 2017.
