How About That Weather?

We had near freezing temps yesterday, today it's in the low 70's (F). When I was a kid there was no way the temperature would have been above 40F until at least late February.

What part of the country are you from. Sounds like it will continue to be warm across the country.

From Southeast US, back in this region for the time being.

I remember walking to school this time of year as a kid, it was strictly big coats, beanies, gloves, etc. Now people are walking around in shorts and skirts.

Keep an eye on the weather. GA & AL have been getting hammered with tornadoes the past few months.

A weird 24H blast of cold air as the next week it warms up, with late next week being above 0. With the rain expected half of the snow will probably be gone in a week.

Haha! Yea, that's not entirely uncommon in Wyoming during the winter and I contend it's a massive reason why it's the least populated state in the US. Winds during the winter in Wyoming can easily get between 50 and 80 mph on nasty days and you WILL see semis flipped over on the highways.

Hmm I will put this in the cons column while I try to convince my wife to move there. I was thinking of coming out this summer with her and the kids to give it a bit of a test run. The sky at night looks freakin amazing.
 
We got ourselves a nice dusting of snow over the past day. Those are freedom units for those countries that haven't been to the moon--just shy of a meter. This was the worst of it. The rest was between 12-24 inches. Lots of big drifts piled up around the yard.

The interesting thing is that though I agree it is hotter in the winters, I tend to look at weather a lot these days (been in several tornadoes, friend is a meteorologist), and if you pick a random spot in the country (let's say the southeast for example), there have been hotter days during the same part of the year before. 90s, 80s, 40s, etc.

This La Niña year has been wild, which is somewhat expected.

It's just interesting.

I hear a lot of people say "back in the day there was never tornados in December".

That's false as well. Tornados happen frequently in certain regions in the winter, but I feel like we didn't cover it the same way… for reasons beyond my knowledge.

Actually, speaking of tornados - the last EF5 was almost a decade ago.

Weather is weird.
 
it's 72 right now for me and the high is supposed to be 75 and then back to a high of 41 on Saturday 40% chance of snow I think this is the hottest it's been for my area all winter
 
The English throw shade at the arbitrary nature of the Imperial system. Then when they think Americans aren't looking, turn around and measure their body weight in "stones".

Bunch of tea-taxing hypocrites if you ask me.
 
Yeah, tornadoes are insane, I ordered a tornado shelter almost a month ago. It'll be here in about two weeks.

That whole region through northern Mississippi/Alabama is especially dangerous since the tornadoes tend to happen more during evening hours. Awful situation all around, I hope they get all the help they need to rebuild their community. Honestly those states should look into figuring out solutions for tornado safety for all families in that region. It's only going to get worse. It's a good investment too, shelters don't need much in the way of upkeep. If you have a mobile home park, you could get an oversized above ground one that could shelter multiple families at once. There's a company in Alabama that makes solid steel ones that can withstand small arms fire.

Tornado went through Mississippi a few days ago ... Where my dad, aunt and cousins are. I JUST found them (in 2020) and I thank God they're all ok!

Honest question, whats the point of living in the tornado belt if theres a good chance you could lose everything in a moments notice

The actual odds of getting hit are not that high. Most tornadoes occur in the countryside and most are relatively small.
