an Alberta clipper just blew thru. 10 minutes of wind and heavy snow.
now it's just flurries with an occasional gust. will be windy for the next day or so with lake effect snow flurries.

It reached 51 today. It's 40 and a little foggy right now. The forecast low is 42, but it's obvious that's wrong. Rain is expected tomorrow as well.

High 20s/low 30s to mid 50s or 60 through Christmas here.

I spent a couple weeks in Corpus Christi in ‘86 one weekend…

I did get to drink beer at the original Gilley’s while I was there with my crew. That helped

It's been in the 50s at night here. I never thought I would ever say that 50 would be cold...

high humidity makes it worse. it's bone-chilling cold.
winters on Okinawa were like that, 48 degrees at near 100% humidity was miserable.

right now, midnight, it's 44 in northern Ohio. not bad for the middle of December.

The humidity is high here. Not 100% but high.

 

[Bill]

It's currently 43 and foggy on the ground. The fog is about 8 feet deep. If you look straight down the street you can only see about 150 feet. If you look up towards the streetlights it's clear.

thats what kills us here is the humidity. if it was low humidity here though, it would cost like cali or florida to live here. the humidity keeps most people from wanting to live here, luckily.

and 50 feels so cold compared to 25 in colorado felt when we would visit our son at fort carson

Years ago in the San Joaquin Valley (Fresno, Visalia, Bakersfield) there was a regional weather term for that. It was referred to as the "bone-chill factor." The fog would set in which would keep the sun from warming up the afternoons. Temperatures typically would reach 50, but there are days were it might not make it much over 40. If you had to work outdoors you would really feel it. I think the term originated from the Dust Bowl migrant workers. I heard it used a lot when I was a kid. I never hear it used now. Another regional term is, "tule fog." The origin comes from a plant that is common in wetlands. The term "tule fog" was originally used in the San Joaquin Valley, but now it is commonly used to describe fog anywhere in a valley because people living outside of the San Joaquin Valley used it anytime they encountered fog driving through California.

/\ interesting facts you probably won't learn on google.

bone chill factor, like wind chill factor here

 

[Bill]

The high was 48 yesterday and 46 today with drizzle and mist. In the Sierra Nevada foothills above the foggy inversion layer and above about 1700 feet in elevation, it was in the mid to upper 60s. It's foggy again this evening. Rain is going to come in overnight and the inversion layer will gradually go away due to the air above it cooling off as the front moves in.

Woke up and headed out this morning to a crisp 32°F and some snow showers. Temp is supposed to drop all day. Should make for an interesting afternoon. People around here can't drive in the rain. So the snow will make it exciting, haha

 

[pjtoledo]

here in Toledo we got 'nuttin but typical January temperatures.
the approaching snow line stopped just south of town.

Last I looked, it has been pretty snowy and cold at home, from what I see on the weather bug app and via the ring cameras. Not the worst winter, so far. Though, I haven't been all that thrilled with the "feels like" temps. The temp reading would something like 20 and "feel like" 9.
