An inch or two of snow. This is our Christmas tree waiting to be planted in a pot for decorating inside.

Ugg. It's -17 this morning --frozen nose hair weather. My dog loves it though.

I nearly wrote "Your dog loves frozen nose hair?" but that would be predictable and would probably get a groan so I won't.

Here, it is damp and cold. Not Montreal cold, but annoying, none the less.
(Baby steps, JoeP....Baby steps.)

This weekend, we are building the snowpack on the mountain to replenish our fresh water supplies.
Simultaneously, it's raining buckets here.
ETA: Seriously, over an inch and a half of rain in the past 24 hours. That's highly unusual and we now have a series of flood warnings out in the western portion of the state.

Cold, clear and still. Not quite freezing, but close.

It has been raining all day. There was to be a "big So'wester" blowing in off the Pacific, dumping near two inches of rain and buffeting the region with high winds and gusts that may well take down trees and limbs and potentially cut power. So far, it's been fairly steady, but not particularly heavy rain. The same with the winds. The big front is to roll through in about three hours from now. Of course, if it lives up to the forecasts, we'll be looking at high stream levels and lowland flooding over the next few days.

Frost at night, cloudy and dreary or clear and sunny during the days.

It's pretty cold here (-6 or so) but not as cold as it usually is this time of year. So far we haven't had any of the -20's that January usually brings.

Boring. The weather here is boring. Cloudy grey and a steady 5°C day and night for the next 24 hrs.

Blustery with heavy rains. Flood warnings out in the valley again today.

Hail-ish sort of rain at times and grey. Not very enticing.

We seem to be swinging from nice, sunny, unseasonably warm and dry days to nasty, blowing squalls that engender widespread flooding.
Really extreme climatic mood swings.

It's snowing. Very pretty at the moment, but we're supposed to get 30 cm of it this weekend. Luckily I don't have to drive in it.

We got about one flake's depth of snow this morning and then the snow turned to rain.

We were promised 4 to 5 centimetres of snow. I'm sure some people got that, but we sure as heck didn't! And what snow we got started at about 6 pm and was gone 12 hours later. No first time in the snow scene for us.

Didsbury, just eight miles away, is the area most affected in South Manchester. The River Goyt runs through Marple Bridge and to the north of Marple and the fields surrounding the river are likely to be flooded. The Goyt river feeds into the River Mersey in Stockport town centre and it is the River Mersey that is flooding Didsbury. Marple itself is on high ground so we are not at risk of flooding but a couple of routes out of Marple could be affected and we could be cut off from my daughter who lives two miles away. Meanwhile we have more snow. Our back gardenSorry Claudia

Heavy frost early. It won't last long, as there are no clouds.
