And that's high to high. High to low might be +20 to -20 this week.

We've always lucked out with west Maui in January... last time it was 28-30 everyday in the Lahaina area for nearly two weeks straight with some humidity - so walking around in the sun early afternoon had us seeking shade. It was usually 26/27 by 10am & the coolest I felt was around sunrise when the truck gauge said it was 18 - I was still in shorts & t-shirt tho - but sunroof closed There was a cold snap the week before we arrived - a few days with highs of only 24 along with high surf. I believe there was even some snow atop Haleakala. Lots of people were still talking about it when we got there.

If you didn't already know, the warmest spot on maui in winter is usually south Kihei...it is typically 2/3 degrees warmer than west Maui - and if it's raining in west Maui it's probably sunny in Kihei. And, if you haven't tried it yet, the Kohala coast on the Big Island generally has the best winter weather in Hawaii - don't stay in Kailua-Kona! The area from Waikoloa Beach Resort north past Kawaihae is basically a desert with several awesome beaches.

Filmed a little bit of my early rush hour commute to my mother's place, where I had supper, and then a little bit of the runaround in Rabbittown once I got home.

It was slow going in the storm, and by the time I got home, it was already turning to freezing rain.

We weren't at +20, but yes it is a roller coaster for sure. It's always been this way, nothing new. It's what happens being at the Front Ranges, directly effected by both Pacific and Arctic systems. What's new is how high the temperatures are going, not the fact that we have extended warm temps in the winter. Last year our January avg. high was 3 degrees, a degree higher than what we're likely to end up with by the end of this January, but none of the individual days last Jan. were anywhere near as warm as what we saw today and Sunday.

Lethbridge IS likely to go from +20 to -20 this week though.

Edmonton will very likely go from +9 to -25 this week. A temp swing I don't believe I've experienced before...

[craneSpotter]

Man, what a nice afternoon in Victoria. High of 14. Sunny and calm...just beautiful....

the west at midnight...



Forecast for today is a mix of sun and cloud and 11. We'll see.

[SignalHillHiker]

It's morning here and, finally, we're back above freezing at 1C. The forecast is for 7C today.

Records for today:

High: 13.4C (1986)
Low: -18.3 (1992)

Snow on ground record is 126cm from 2001! Wow.

[SignalHillHiker]

Lol

Don't believe him he's full of —.

He's speaking newfie.


I'll speak mainlander for you I think I can pull it off.

HOLY — WHAT Was that — last night.

This weather — —.

Slipperly as — everywhere.

Wet sloppy snow everywhere, and I think it's still raining.

Like seriously it's insane how bad this weather is.

[SignalHillHiker]

Where are you? Sun is out here. :-) Defintely not raining. Last night did — tho. I posted a video of it above. ;-)

Edit: Fog is back. But still definitely not raining. And you can see the sun through the fog more than usual. It's quite thin.

View from my office right now:

[MonctonRad]

We're on the tail end of the storm now in Moncton.

Currently -6C with freezing drizzle.

Totals so far are 39 cm of snow. Peak wind gusts yesterday were around 112 km/hr.

As occasionally occurs when the jet stream dips southward over the east coast, you can have a progression of nor'easters one after another. There are snow events now forecast for Saturday and next Tuesday.

God I hate winter.......

Lol I'm not believing you. It's completely overcast from my window.

And the ground is a — mess.

Are your sure a street lamp didn't forget to turn off or something?

Maybe your in St john Jamaica?

EDIT: A glowing corner of the sky is not what people call teh sun being out.

Your nationalist propaganda will be exposed.

FACT: 6000 thousands sewersides occur here after each storm.

[SignalHillHiker]

Yeah but my initial post said it was breaking through the fog. How else would you describe half the sky a bright orange? Between that post and your comment, the fog disappeared entirely and the sun was out here. Now the fog is back. But it's still bright, sun is still breaking through the fog, it's officially 8C and rising at YYT... I don't understand what part you're disagreeing with?

I've no problem admitting when our weather is —. That's half the fun of this thread. But today isn't one of those days. It's a fantastic January day.

Aaannnddd now the sun is completely gone lol. But it's just fog. It'll roll away and back again probably before I even click post on this reply.

[SignalHillHiker]

Sun is back. Completely unobstructed by fog or clouds, which are still low on the horizon. Now 9C. I think this would objectively be a fine January day absolutely anywhere in Canada. Even BC and Windsor.



(Heating in my office is insane. I have to open the window even in -5C. Not showing off)



(Despite what my shadow may imply, I'm not secretly a voluptuous bald woman)

We get our share of — weather, Stryker. They already know that. That's our reputation. We don't need to deny the fine days we do get.

EDIT: Sun is gone again. No wait, Nevermind. It's coming back.

EDIT: 10C!

Take care of frostbutt !!

[SignalHillHiker]

I never heard —. But I certainly don't pronounce bit like he did.

[north 42]

Sunny and forcasted to hit -4c, Detroit calling for -1c, hopefully it'll hit -1c.

[SignalHillHiker]

Humidity is 100% right now. Doesn't that mean I should be drowning?

Edit: Also as of yesterday, our average daily high for January is up to -0.1C. With today and the rest of the month forecast to be at least above freezing, we should have an average high above zero for this month.

[Marty_Mcfly]

I think the weather's great here today. You gotta put it all in perspective. Sure, it rained all last night and everything's wet, even a little slippery in a few places.

But when I walked to work yesterday it was -10, dark, and windy. When I walked to work this morning it was +10, pretty bright, and calm. Plus we're over halfway to winter speedo temperatures

Enjoy today, it won't be this nice again until June.

[Chadillaccc]

Already surpassed our forecast high of 2, currently 4 as of 11 am. Highs for Thursday and Friday have been revised up to 6 and 7 respectively.
