We got 10 inches about a week ago and got another 6-8 last night! It is 5 degrees here right now and with wind chills it's -20 to -30! All members in warm weather, I am jealous..lol Just trying to lighten the mood here! LA

-27 with wind chill here. Car broke down on motorway at 8am. Thought my fingers were going to fall off. Just trying to dampen the mood. Ha!

-5 without the windchill.

Yikes! I got my wheelchair stuck the other day..lol Just trying to get stuck in the mood, LA

70 with a chance of surfing. Winter in Monterey is brutal....

Stephen, you are bad..lol I am so jealous..lol LA

Stephen....... How ever do you guys cope.

I tried eating a snow cone once in an effort to experience a mid west winter.

Enough already! Definately not kilt weather today.

Was it yellow? lol How do you and David ever get any work done..lol LA

Keep a bottle of Scotch in the boot, it's a great survival kit ;) 1- Use it for defreezing the motor 2- A couple of drops and your can see through the windscreen, take the bottle your can hardly see your feet. 3- Heats you up and merry if stranded. 4- Give it to the breakdown truck guy,the probably won't charge you anything. 5- Give it the the policeman to avoid a illegal parking fine, but checkout if he has a red nose and a big belly. If he looks fit and thin, don't. You might end up having free bed and food for a while. MacApple can recommend a good brand, I'm sure. :) Happy New Year

@MacApple... I was in Scotland for New Year. In Edinburgh, there's no touch of snow! Time for kilts (or at least for those annoying bagpipers)! About 10 degrees Celsius here in the UK. What's your feeling on independence?

PADDY!!!!! My man with the plan. BIG smile on my face seeing your name. Hope this finds you well. You'd be proud of my bourbon and whisky consumption over the festive period, never more than one bottle at a time. Gave up smoking, drinking and fast cars for the new year. Oh, yeah, gave up telling the truth as well. Darn fine to see that avatar. Perfect tonic to a Monday and Stephens Monterey patter. Peace bro.

Hey Buddy, Ok for new year resolutions(don't believe a word), you can give up that stuff but never give up your beautifull wife and familly. I'll be back soon here. I have a couple of things to sort out first. Sounds like a blooming dating site. See you guys laters. Peace to all of us in 2014.

Dang LA, you're having a heatwave downstate at 5. -16 was just reported at O'Hare with a windchill of -31. Took me 3+ hrs to get to the office thanks to train and bus delays. I can almost feel my toes again. I need a snow scraper to see out my office window - this is the view from INSIDE my office currently: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73858894/2014-01-06.jpeg

@ATRAIN53, Yeah I heard you guys got it worse up there. LA

Are you guys talking Fahrenheit?

All greetings from Russia! We have great weather: only 1 degree below zero. Soon as always begin blizzard snowfall and cold 30 degrees below zero ...

LA I am jealous of you guys whoever enjoy having snowfall. Its winter here too but the temperature is about 20 degree centigrade (not fahrenheit). At worst it can not get below 14 degree centigrade. In summer its about 44 to 48 degrees hot...

So I'm not even going to say anything except, if you're ever cold, you can visit Guam. Cheers! -- Smug

ok so we are all cold but Stephen and Smug..lol LA

Heating out in house. 34 degrees f here so officially my house is at freezing point, 0 degrees c. Awful. Can't get furnace going, send cookies and hot chocolate.

High of 74°F today, low of 34°F overnight. Yikes! Walking the dog in the morning is not gonna be fun. -William

No snow just sand California Dreamin on such a winters day elsewhere

I've never experienced a summer as hot as this one, and we're less than a month into it. I think our ongoing streak of 40+ days with maximum temperatures above 31°C (about 88°F) is finally going to be broken tomorrow - all three of the weather sites I foolishly continue to check claim that it will rain all day tomorrow, and the high temperature will "only" be 28 or 29°C. I can remember entire summers in which it didn't get over 31°C for more than a couple of days (there may well have been zero days over 31°C in the summer of 2008). I cannot remember any summers with 40 days this hot. 40+ days IN A ROW of this is just ridiculous. I'd absolutely love this weather if I were living somewhere with a beach, but I'm stuck in a giant concrete jungle where 34°C feels like the end of the world (and we've had several days already this summer with highs above 34°C). Bleah!

Concrete jungle, sorry! That is crazy hot, was watching the tennis down under and they too are having a silly streak of dangerously hot weather. #ClimateChange
