No snow here since 3 weeks 😀 ...but bariely cold, now its -30c 😯 ....we had at least 8-10 nights Under the -20c mark, never saw that since a lot of year. Normally we have 4-5 night Under -20c in a normal winter. But this year its amazing...no nights over -25c till saturday 😯 ....high between -17c to -20c in the day.
Dawn it, where s the global warming 😕

Ben

hopefully that will keep some stuff warm in the 4 f temp this morning and winds, ugh

Oh man, to actually be grateful for a foot of snow... 😕

no nights over -25c till saturday

Ouch.
What a test this winter for everyone's protection.
That's why global warming was rephrased to climate change.
Or global WARNING.

We haven't seen the sun in a week, with valley fog that'll get worse before disappearing. 😥

Hang in there, folks.

It is a cloudless sunny beautiful day though, was out shoveling....not in shorts this time though....lol 😮

Sunshine makes such a difference...I'd happily trade a few degrees C for it.

Weather channel just reported it's 40F in Fairbanks Alaska. 😐 😯

yeah the sunshine does make it more bearable, gorgeous outside too..i was actually sweating while shoveling at 10 f, even with the wind...

Sorry to hear of the that continuing dreadful Weather some of you are having. That wonderful jet stream has kept the UK relatively mild. So mild that my Musa Basjoo is opening new leaves and my beloved Beschorneria Albiflora has started to flower... in January 😯 not good 😕

Musa Basjoo

Tree ferns.... Dicksonia Antartica ... still happy and relatively green

The Cycas Revolta enjoying all the rain.

I hope it warms up for you soon... but not too soon as we'll get all that crap then 😆

Not warming up in the ten day forecast, all under freezing and single digits at night, ugh! I'm moving to Alaska!

I remember last year Europe got spanked, now it's our turn.. 🙁

Love that Tree Fern AndyM!

Great tree ferns!

Strangely enough temperature wise it was a mild winter in most parts of Western Europe but it was a very long Winter that went on until May. My minimum was -7C but many parts of the UK were much milder than my inland climate
The beast from the east is not currently far away from us though and in 2011 I had a -11C from its last visit

Glad you liked the tree ferns, both are around 6ft tall.

when is that January meltdown? I got enough of this:

The US is set for its coldest month this century after weeks of sub-freezing temperatures.
The Daily Mail reported:

America is set for the coldest month of the century as weather forecasters predict yet another freezing blast of Arctic air – putting Super Bowl Sunday in jeopardy.

Teams have been warned to stay on high alert for changes to the scheduling of the first Super Bowl to be played in an open-air stadium.

Temperatures have already hit record lows, at times making parts of the U.S. colder than the North Pole, and are expected to plunge in the coming days.

The timing could not be worse for one of the biggest global sporting events, which will be exposed to the full force of the elements at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on February 2.

It is ridiculous, should moderate this week after Thursday here in the east coast....... Warmer today but then plunging again for tow days tonight!!!!!! I shall never post a January forecast model that predicts a warmer than average January, and if I ever find the meteorologist who predicted that, it shall be a slow and painful_______________....LOL!!!!!!!

if I ever find the meteorologist who predicted that, it shall be a slow and painful_______________....LOL!!!!!!!

Start with Gore. 😆

Cold of the Century...that's quite a phrase. 😯
