It’s raining and grey but warm. How about where you are?

Me, I’m at school working on a Final Project for Art, waiting until I get home so I’ll finally be able to read HTDYF after finally being able to get a copy =]. Yay!

It snowed! This has made my week because I’d never seen snow before today. It does not usually snow here. I’m fairly sure it isn’t supposed to snow here. But it did. And I built my very first snowman. It’s only a foot tall, but I’m okay with that! I love snow. I wonder if I will have to be twice as old as I am now before I get to see it again.

Well, Manhattan is cold today if you ask me… And I had to buy another umbrella because I forgot to pack one.

Your description of the weather sounds like Melbourne the last few days, Justine, though today is supposed to be more rainy and less warm, which we all know means blisteringly hot and no rain for the next century. Yay for water restrictions Level 3a.

A little chilly and kinda sunny. Might rain later.

Brent Says:
Here in southeastern Michigan there is a bit* of snow, but mostly it’s too cold to snow more than a dusting. Good news is that the highs for next week should be above freezing.
*This bit includes about 4″ from last week’s somewhat warmer weather.

Cold and wet and chilly! Good thing I just made a pot of yummy veggie chili.

Sunny and warm! Good ol’ Arizona! Weather predictors must have it so easy here, all they ever have to do is say that it’ll be sunny and warm tomorrow and 90% of the time they’re right.

Steve Turner Says:
I’d ask if you were in Sydney already, but it’s not particularly warm here. Other than that, it is also raining and grey.
But apparently tomorrow it will be 35 degrees and sunny. Go figure…

It’s very cold, although not ConFusion cold, and there’s a beautiful view of the full moon.

Patrick: I am not in New York.

Patrick Says:
Ah, good. So, maybe we do have the same understanding of the word warm.
I will be leaving New York today and returning to Florida where I am pretty sure I will find warmth. and probably some sun.

Tim Says:
It’s pretty much the same in Brisbane. Hell, it’s been pretty much the same in Brisbane for the past three or four weeks.
But it doesn’t bother me too much, I love rain (sometimes the humidity + heat does get to me though)!

Julia Rios Says:
Cold and rainy, though the rain seems to have let up for the moment. Enjoy your warmth!

Hey! It’s not that bad in NY today! I’m still leaving though.

Nicholas Waller Says:
I am where it has been “pretty miserable, by and large” (ie grey, wet and cold), a brief radio weather report by John Humphreys subsequently discussed in this thread in Language Log this week. Tomorrow, though, it is going to be sunny but partially cloudy, about 5degC at midday with mist and fog later, and I am going to walk round the top of Cheddar Gorge (a place that, like River Avon and Sahara Desert, has two parts to its name that mean the same) and then go to the pub, where there will be a log fire, a real one made of burning wood, and hand-pumped beer from a local brewery.
