Weather where you are

[Born2Late]

26 degrees F. Ice and snow on the ground. More snow and freezing rain forecasted.

 

[Hexavalent]

It's a "refreshing" -10 C and sunny this morning. Sigh... winter again.

 

[Black Dog]

Hey BradleyK did you mean 29 F?........

I doubt that the temperature in Jasper has been 29F (-2C) for well over a month! BTW: I think my conversion is more or less correct. Fahrenheit and other imprecise/crude scales of measurement went the way of Mr Dinosaur years ago up here. lol

Fahrenheit has a longer scale between freezing and boiling point and therefore provides more precise reading.

Winter arrived, finally!
Looking forward to more of 14 deg. C
Mid afternoons go around at ~30 C :|

 

[removed account4]

its around 30-32ºF, skim coat of snow last night at about midnight
now frozen rain and rain mix to make things extra special

Perhaps "logical" would have been a better term to use re Celsius vs Fahrenheit measurement. To wit: in the former, water boils at 100C and freezes at 0C; in the latter, it boils at 212F and freezes at 32F. Possibly a longer scale (albeit arbitrary), but one which lacks the logic, simplicity - and beauty - of the former.

Insofar as distance/weight/volume measurement is concerned, the metric system (micro/milli/centi/deci/kilo, etc. - multiples of ten) is so much more precise that one can hardly compare it with the old English system. Small wonder that most of the world long ago went the metric route. lol

I don't take advantage of it as often as I should, but sometimes the worst weather makes for the best pictures.

 

[Black Dog]

+1 on that.

A thermometer that is precise to 1 degree F is also precise to 5/9 degree C.

True, and I'm not knocking the metric system, as when it comes to measuring solution and chemicals, I work in grams and cl. But to give you an analogy with my preference to F, if you measure a solution in a tall thin measuring cylinder with graduation marks, it can be read more easily (and perhaps more accurately) than using a wide based beaker.

Shouldn't we be using Kelvin anyway? ;-P :crazy:

Currently it's 271.7 K and cloudy...

[jovo]

Completely up in the air here. As a life-long northeasterner, I'm totally gobsmacked wearing sandals, shorts, and a tee shirt in December. High tomorrow will be in the upper 70s. Go figure!!

^rub it in...rub it in...

yeah.

it was -18f this morning, tonight supposed to hit -8f.

One of the kids left a plate on the kitchen table yesterday and the night was very cold. This morning I found what looked like a raisin on the plate, picked it up, warmed it in my hand and it went BUUURB
Best regards

+1. Found that out last weekend. Despite the miserable cold, and the protests from two of my cameras, the shooting was great. I can handle the most inclement weather...as long as I can find something out there to shoot!

 

[lxdude]

Nice today. The sun feels quite warm. 76F at noon, supposed to get up to 79 this afternoon. 52 tonight. Tomorrow, 80/57.

Beautiful snow-capped mountain views. SoCal at its best.

 

[Black Dog]

A dreich rain there is aboot the toon today...

 

[BMbikerider]

Cold wet and miserable yesterday but sunny cold and cheerful today. Thick frost on the car and the neighbours garage roof before the sun came up but that has gone. Visibility is incredibly clear with the hills 9 miles west of me and 12 miles east can be seen in fine detail.

 

[BradleyK]

It's currently +5C here, this am; forecast is a for a high of the same. Serious cloud cover, fog and a bit of drizzle. So...it's load up, and do a walkabout, with some of the PB 6/13 Tri-X I found yesterday while cleaning out the deep-freeze...

When reading this and other treads, I often see the poster location on the left as somewhere I have never heard of, as if you don’t live in that country you are probably not familiar many of these places. As we are mostly visual people, would it be possible to have a thumbnail map of the poster’s country with a dot showing there approximate location?

 

[Tom1956]

It's cold down here today. A bitter 29 degrees at noon. But at the same time I feel for you folks up in the top right hand area of the country. I hear tell you all have really been socked. Snow up to your eyeballs and colder than a witches ...... Keep warm, although that might be a dumb thing for me to say right now.

 

[E. von Hoegh]

Minus 13f this morning.
