January 2015 weather. Winter is half over!

L.A. (Canoga Park), CA(Zone 10a)

Could get as high as the low 80s today. One thing I have noticed and it may not be true all of the time, but when it is hot here in the winter, it is cold in the Midwest and East. When it rains in southern CA, it is warmer back east. Sorry, no rain in the forecast. It's a bummer for me, too. We have to get our rain in the winter or we don't get it at all.

It's definitely cold today and tomorrow will be downright dangerous. Schools cancelled across the whole area.

High of 24, then it dropped quickly to 14 before going back up to about 20. Currently 15.

Bad news is my thermostat went bad on my truck so I'm forbidden to drive it til it's fixed.

Winter Springs, FL(Zone 9b)

45° this morning, but sunny and clear. High today 69°. low tonight 39°, guess I got to drag in the hoyas, and orchids.

Lots of cars and trucks outside left snow covered and unstarted , nobody (or few) wants to deal with the cold .

. Brrrr it's cold outside .. redundant isn't it ?

Magnolia, TX(Zone 9a)

6° on my dash, cant judge these icy breezes, wondered where she went -Lilypons. Dont forget to turn the engine over or winterize the truck so you don't crack the block.
Sunshine and hazy clouds, Time to head north

Plainwell, MI(Zone 5b)

Very very cold here in Michigan latley. Not above 13 for the last four days and going on for the next 3 days. Right now it actually is really sunny but bitter cold. Been trying to get some energy to go to the store. Snowy snowy for the next three days. Below zero for the overnight high tonight.

Magnolia, TX(Zone 9a)

Am in Ann Arbor, Mi and my dash says 10° but Fox Ch 2 says 8°, -27 for windchill, am going to figure that windchill for a 60mph figure one of these days. Mostly sunny today, but caught a whiteout at Ft Wayne Indiana that lasted 3miles, hmmph, flash on my camera is making stars. I agree with gardenlady- brrrrr!

The big news headline here is the freeze warning...
followed by girl thrown off bridge dies, iphone sale ends in gunfire, one injured. SpaceX Falcon launch Saturday, and Disney is removing the Sorcerer's hat, what ever that means? ☺

Anderson, IN(Zone 6a)

We will have to see about getting to the SpaceX Falcon launch ,,, To see about getting close enough to get warmth from the rockets ,,, Should be nice and toasty for few minutes ,, lol ?

Freeze fever humor ...... Cold ?,,, ha , ha , ha ,ha ha , ha , ha , ha , an ice cube should wish ,,,,,

8 below with a 23 below wind chill here now .

Needless to say .. Freeze chill warning still in effect , basic frost bite , hypothermia , warning

L.A. (Canoga Park), CA(Zone 10a)

I've never seen a rocket launch but I've seen two rocket engine tests. We were far enough back that you couldn't feel the heat but you could feel the shock waves vibrating your clothes. It was strange.


Once again it's Planet Kelli, unlike the rest of the world. They are calling for a high of 72F

Early this morning a white-out.
Now partly sunny 14º & going up.

KC Metro area, MO(Zone 6a)

Reached 31 but with the wind blowing like it was it might as well have been 10 degrees all day.

Good news though: Only 7 more Fridays til Spring!! lol.

Mountain View, HI

A nice breeze tradewind day, upper 70s. No rain, too dry. Next few days wind will drop off and become light southerly and blow volcanic haze to Honolulu. Asthma alert.
Sadly it will likely stay dry for another week.

New lava flow 2 miles upslope from nearest road is moving - 50 yds yesterday.

Winter Springs, FL(Zone 9b)

45° this morning, feels much better than yesterday. Cloudy, high 64°, might rain.

I know you can laugh at our weatherpeople, but they have a pretty boring job down here. They do get a bit excited when cold fronts come down, but Hurricanes really get them rockin!

Anderson, IN(Zone 6a)

8 degrees F here this morning , - 10 the chill
wind 16 to 22 mph.
Humidity around 70%

Pepper can thaw us out for that Friday about 5 Friday's from now ?

sunkissed ,, I will stay with snow as to Hurricanes ,, Excitement from either is not what it once was ,,,,if it ever was ?

I will type in that it is cold anyway ....

L.A. (Canoga Park), CA(Zone 10a)

The weather people out here must get pretty bored. They act like rain is the Apocalypse.

They're calling for a high of 71F.

Looks like a nice week to go to Hawaii or S. California ☺

Plainwell, MI(Zone 5b)

Yes the weather looks so jealous. We got 9 inches of snow overnight. Very cold todays high is 7 degrees. Is Hawaii jealous? Lol. How about California? We have gotten plenty of excercise today.. shoveling. Tomorrow it is suppose to be not so snowy just cold. A high of 12 I think. Haha. Have a great evening all.

Mountain View, HI

Hawaii is jealous - of the beautiful snow covered scenery. We don't get that here. That's why I enjoy the pics so much. Please keep posting.

KC Metro area, MO(Zone 6a)

20 was our high today but wind chills were in the single digits all day. Wind finally died down just before sunset. I think we are done with the teens for highs for awhile. Looks like we'll be in 20s and 30s thru late next week then we warm up again.

Winter Springs, FL(Zone 9b)

43° this morning, predicted high 67°, sunny and blue now but they say chance of showers later on. Tonight not as cold low 57°, hoyas can go back outside. ☺

Yesterday the temp climbed to 58° by 10AM, but the winds picked up, it mizzled a bit while I was on my walk, and then temp dropped back down and hovered around 49-51° the rest of day. Not what the weather people predicted.

So...where are the snow photos? ☺

Magnolia, TX(Zone 9a)

Just 100m north of Chicago- Belgium, Wis. -3, windchills still to -25/-27mph. No precip here again for which I am grateful, yesterday across Indiana Tpke was enough- just saw the Mich wrecks, and van hung under a tk, and can vouch that spot across Ind and Mich was rough. Many new tk drivers are afraid to stop when conditions are bad- they cannot afford to miss minimum wages or the kids will go hungry, and they are driving with drivers who think bad weather is normal and overdrive the road. Be safe out there, keep your space and dont get pushed.

Magnolia, TX(Zone 9a)

Ok, Green Bay last night, Fremont Ind when the storms began
