slo’s MONDAY 2/20 poll - Winter 2023

[SandyinMonterey]

A lot of rain this winter. A couple of days ago it dropped to 35. This Wednesday we're heading into the 80's.

Winter, around here, has been pretty good but I don't want to jinx anything as we still have March and April..........

Same here. Highs in the 50s-60s here most of this week, but we don't have reliably nice weather until late April/early May.

Our winter has been nicer than normal.
We have broken the heat record several times.
We do get rainy and gray days.
We have only had 2 days of snow and this was a coating.
I think all the kids around here want a snow day.
I feel sorry for all the landscapers that do snow removal because they haven’t had any business all winter.

Here in north central Ohio it’s been definitely warmer than usual. We’re having days in the 50’s but then the next day it will be 20’s and 30’s. It’s crazy but nice. We’ve had very little snow so far too. Our granddaughter’s 12th birthday party was yesterday and it was in the 50’s with beautiful blue skies. It was the best weather she’s ever had for her birthday.

Overall, it's probably a little warmer than normal even with the two snow days (one for ice) we've had. However, the storm right before Christmas with the -6 degree temps (windchill was 32 below freezing) took all the leaves off our bushes. That has never happened in the 20 years we have lived here. We're patiently waiting to see if they all come back in the spring.

Rollercoaster weather here, but overall warmer.

Had below zero (-23 with windchill) over Christmas but that was only for a few days. The majority of it has been warmer than normal, which I will gladly take!

I live in Georgia so our winter is sort of all over the place every year. We did have a few weeks in Dec. that were cold, I'm talking the highs were in the 30s. But then we also had some weeks where the highs were in the 50s and 60s, which is normal for us. We pretty much have a week of winter then a week of spring then a week of winter, then it thinks it's going to be spring for about a month, then it's summer until it thinks for a week or two Fall might be fun then back to summer then it plays at winter. Today it is getting up to 70 and is even supposed to come close to 80 later in the week. Next Saturday the highs are supposed to be in the 50s. We have had snow in early March in the past but that is just normal here.

We had some cold weather in December, but feels warmer in the DC area, barely any snow at all (not that we usually get much, but this is abnormally low) Trees are blooming, daffodils and hyacinth blooming, pollen in the air!

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

I live in SE WI
Milder winter than average and now another storm approaching. My anxiety level is UP since my husband is flying home on Thursday ( or maybe not).
I was just thinking this morning that I would much rather have all my "winter" weather in Dec and Jan.

 

[tvguy]

Much colder. And may actually get snow this week, something that only happens every 5 or 6 years. People that heat with natural gas are going crazy with huge bills. Some close to $1,000 a month. Electric costs are much much lower here to heat, but my electric bill was $250, which is very high.

 

[MamaMermaid]

Things are pretty normal here in South Florida!

 

[disneychrista]

It is has been so long since we have had a normal winter, it is hard to say. I do know that it has been colder than the last few years. It has been threatening to snow several times over the past week. The only time it snows it is a surprise, so I don't expect that it actually will. We have had a couple wet storms but long dry spells in between.

 

[SueInBoston]

DD’s birthday is this week. We were just reminiscing on how we used go snow tubing or ice skating for her birthday. It is 58 here today.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Very much warmer than usual. It's going to be 70 degrees on Thursday and then 46 on Friday. It's been like that all Winter-up and down, up and down.

 

[bobbiwoz]

A bit warmer than normal.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

It's been warmer

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

Warmer and drier. I've lived here nearly 40 years. It used to be we could count on having several snow days a year, a few times even for a full week. The past couple of years we've had just a dusting or two, and this year nothing. Not looking good for it either, we'll be pushing the 80s this week. My kids are very disappointed.

 

[nene0182]

Looking at my backyard, it appears we have way more snow than I remember since living here but that’s probably not true. It’s winter in North Dakota, it always sucks whether it’s a lot of snow, butter cold or both.

 

[The Mayor]

We’ll our strange winter continues today. 60 degrees yesterday and now snowing today!!

 

[elgerber]

I am in MN. Our temps have been all over the place. We have had subzero snaps, and mild periods. It is however, snowier for sure!! We had already has most of our winter average by early January. And in a couple of hours we start a winter storm warning, that they are saying will likely be in the top 5 snowfalls ever, maybe even top 3. Yuck, just yuck.

And about two minutes after I posted this, I just got notice that its now a blizzard warning.
