How's the weather?

[Hunchman801]

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

[Steo]

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.

[Steo]

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?

[Steo]

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.

The weather in the Southwest of the UK has been very calm this week. A bit of rain this morning but other than that it is much sunnier and warmer than it has been recently.

[Hunchman801]

It's gotten colder again here, though nothing like what we got a few weeks ago. Hoping to go for a nice walk in the forest on Saturday, the forecast is looking good so far!

[Steo]

It's been pretty cold out here too, even though we'd expect warm weather since it's supposed to be Spring.

[The Jonster]

The forecast is pretty nice lately, even though I’m sure to most people it’s still a little cold. Should take the opportunity with this weather to walk more often and longer.

[Hunchman801]

Today was just great, I went on a hike by the river and the bright sun made it very pleasant.

[The Jonster]

As usual, it's sunny. It would be a great day to go to the beach tbh if it wasn't a 2-hour round trip drive....

[Mortamon Saturn]

Weather had been all weird this summer where I live. It’s mostly very cold times and very few hot days. Felt more like autumn.

[PluMGMK]

I think it's shaping up to be quite hot again this week. I've restocked the freezer with Cornetto!
