You prefer it should come from behind?

SUNSHINE ! after some really dreary weather over the holidays we saw the sun this afternoon . fairly mild for january - temp arond the freezing mark , getting to about minus 10 C for the weekend - with sunshine , i hope.
Predictions for Friday night is 36F, extending over the weekend, a little bit warmer but not much.
Hi everyone, I'm new, so excuse my barging in. I'm in Iceland, where, although the temperatures seldom go below freezing, the wind is a two-headed monster.
The temperature, as I write this, is freezing. This morning, the winds were 35kts stustained, with gusts of 45kts. Iew. It has been snowing on and off here, and while I like a few snow flurries, I hate the showery stuff that pelts ya in the face with 35kt winds.
So the winds have died down to about 15kts right now...but alas, they are forecasted to go back up to 25G35kts this evening. ARgh.
I'm from Florida, where I can do without winters. (Though there is an inner voice that tries to remind me of those days I drove to work in a car without an AC and how I burnt my hands just trying to buckle the seat belt).
Anyway, nice to meet you all. Have fun!!
Hi Devrie, interesting to hear about the weather in Iceland. What on earth brought you there?
Weather in Balingen: sunny! But cold, cold, cold...
Iceland
Hello Urs.
I'm here because my job sent me here.
Enjoy the sunny but cold weather!
eastern lake ontario :
woke up to beautiful sunshine and minus 10 C - but it quickly turned grey and damp, just a bit of snow.
wish we had some truly canadian winter(cold and sunny !) - i mean it . hbg
The sun came out for the first time since 12/23. It was a wonderful day! Temps approaching 40F, blue sky for most of the day. That will need to last me for a while. Clouds return tomorrow with a chance of snow.
It is very cold here, about 52F midday and sunny (actually beautiful) and predicted to go into the 30's again tonight.
I woke up a few times last night to turn the electric blanket back on, there was my daring Paddy trying to get under the sheets to enjoy the warmth. The blankets and sheets were covering him and his little face peering out was a sight for sore eyes, he was so funny!
I don't mind cold weather for a change in Florida, it only lasts a couple of days, I can deal with that:)
Welcome Devrie, and yes, how many years have you been in Iceland? Do you plan on staying there?
Keep warm:)
That is pretty cold for Florida, Misti! I just checked the web cam at Best Western Cocoa Beach. The pier and beach look wonderful!
It was -7 °C this morning. My poor car is all frozen. Now I am waiting for the sun to get rid of the ice. Then I will drive it to the public car park so I won't have to sit in an ice cold car tomorrow morning...
eastern lake ontario :
just slightly above freezing and SUNSHINE !
freezing rain forecast for tonight, not looking forward to that.
forecast for the next ten days calls for above freezing highs every day, just slightly below overnight.
this is certainly very unusual for early january,
usually it's 10-20 C below overnight at this time of the year ... well, it'll keep the furnace-oil bill low. hbg
bright, cold and sunny at the west end of Lake Ontario
the snow will melt again soon
eastern lake ontario :
another almost springlike day (for our area anyway). birds are chirping ... i guess all the snow and cold temperatures have shifted to japan , china ... hbg
Still unseasonably warm here. Just around freezing.
On the upside, we expect at least 5 cm of snow by noon tomorrow.
Just north of here, they're expected to get 20 - 45 cm.
I got a new spark plug for the snowblower. Just in case. :-)
eastern lake ontario :
still unusually mild, daytime highs above freezing, up to plus 8 C, lows just below freezing,
cooling trend to start by end of next week,
no ice on lake ontario yet, usually there is an icecover heavy enough to walk on by this time(will lake not freeze over this year ?),
february and march can still be brutally cold - down to minus 30 C overnight, so we are not out of the woods yet.
i suspect the "siberian cold wave" will come across the north-pole within the next two weeks.
it's unusual to walk on green grass in january, that's for sure.
in the meantime the oiltank isn't being depleted. hbg

I'll make some baked beans for Setanta. <same thing :wink: >
Well - I'm heading to Melbourne tomorrow, where the temperature is expected to reach 41C - that's about 105F in the old money! MsOlga and I have just been discussing food and adult beverages! You need a lot of beverages in that heat - but our apartment has a/c. Cuppla days of intensive tennis watching coming up (Australian Open - first of the grand slams for the year!) The Centre Court (Rod Laver Arena) at Melbourne Park has a retractable roof - they close it if it gets too hot for the players and/or spectators!
Sydney today is just magic - about 30C - around 80-ish, clear, cloudless, slight breeze, humidity not too bad - a great day to be out and about - wearing full cover-up, hat and sunblock, of course!
