How's the weather?

The cold wave is completely gone here, it's really warm at the moment and feels like spring already.

It's warmer here too, however, it's extremely windy this morning.

So last week the U.S had quite an Arctic chill so it was much colder than usual last week, down to freezing temps. It even snowed one day which is really bizarre for winter, let alone February (I guess February is the new December? Lol).

Ah yes, I hear that was pretty awful. Were you affected by those blackouts I was reading about?

There's been a mad amount of wind and rain here these past few days, but it's calmed down a bit now.

The wind was crazy this morning here, as was the rain. I just kept hearing banging noises (I don't even know what they were ), and the bathroom was even making mad noises because of that drain pipe where the air comes in from the roof.

Yeah the power went out at my house for awhile but it wasn't as bad as other places around town. We only had loss of power for 2 days. Interestingly my uncle that lives a few neighborhoods from us had power on that entire week. Thankfully, we were not affected by frozen water pipes or bursting water pipes thanks to leaving the taps on at night (just drips but it was still enough).

That's a clever idea to stop the pipes from freezing actually, a lot of people do this. I'm surprised that it gets that cold there though when you consider how hot the summers are. We've had crazy low temps here, and my old school prefabs used to have the pipes freeze up. I've never had this happen in my house though, no matter how low the temps were outside. I mainly only see it with places that aren't so well insulated to the stage where the pipes are exposed to extreme temperatures.

Well, that's pretty common for continental climates, though quite unusual for Texas.

Now it's just ridiculously hot here, my car read 25°C earlier and the sun is shining bright.

ow it's just ridiculously hot here, my car read 25°C earlier and the sun is shining bright.

So essentially an Irish summer day, but in February.

[Hunchman801]

What, you actually get sunlight in Ireland?

Seldomly.

It's sunny now, but don't let that fool you, it's 8°C.

[Aaron]

It's been very hot lately and still is which I find pretty concerning.

Cold and sunny, arguably the best weather one can think of.
