Winter has arrived in Ottawa for the third time.

Will it stay this time? Stay tuned...

We're in our January cold spell, with temperatures of about minus 15 or so.

Edinburgh is having a once-in-a-lifetime snowy period. Lots of youtubers are posting videos of just walking around the city, allowing me to live vicariously.

It's been a very mild winter here, so far.
Maybe the fig tree I planted won't get killed down to the roots this year? I can hope.

We had 70s last week and now there's frost on the ground. This is late - when we had normal years, we had frost around the new year. By now, cherry blossoms are beginning to open.

I wonder what my trees are thinking.

My daughter is desperate for snow to take pictures of her pony in! Sadly we just have rain mostly, with the occcasional frosty morning.

I hear there's a huge snowstorm in the Northeastern United States going on. Is that affecting anyone here?

Not me, but next week looks like it's going to be the coldest and snowiest we've had here all winter (still not like what they're getting farther east, though).

For a few days this coming weekend was forecast to have a low of -13 F / -26 C. Happily, the forecast has mellowed to only -3F/ -19C.

Average low temp for this time of year is 24 F/ -4 C. A strangely bitter end to a very mild winter.

Forgot to say, it finally started snowing on Sunday afternoon, but didn't start laying until overnight and we woke to a light covering Monday although the roads weren't really affected.. All melted by yesteraday but it still snows on and off and it's only just above freezing. Am glad this is not something I have to get used to!

This is one of the coldest winters we've had in years. This is like the winters we used to have when I was a kid.

We're gearing up for a big winter storm, so they say. We'll see! Is it making it up to Canada? It's definitely predicted to affect a wide swath of the US. I think it's probably God's judgment or something on the right-wingers.

We have 2 to 4cm predicted for tomorrow, which is basically nothing. When are you expecting this storm?

Oops. 45 minutes after posting that we now have a weather warning: heavy snow Monday night going into Tuesday.

I gotta say, I'm really appreciating working from home these days :halo:

Monday through Tuesday. They're saying maybe 2 feet, but we'll see. They usually exaggerate. I am off those two days, so I am not sad. I have worked 4 12-hour days in the last 5 days. I am TIRED and do not mind being snowbound for a bit.

Wow, I just read that Texas is having a huge winter storm that has cut power for millions. This must be a totally unprecedented experience for them :Q

Yeah, it's pretty bad there, and it's cold--something they're definitely not used to. :(

Yeah, it sounds bad. I don't know how they build houses in Texas, but in a house like mine, freezing temperatures are not survivable without heating. It's not designed to hold the heat, even with new windows and insulated attic.

I learned today that Texas is the only state that has its own grid because they wanted to escape federal regulation.

So I work with mostly Texans. They're managing fine in Austin at least.

My friends there are managing, but it sucks. They got more ice than anything, I think.

Plus there was a tornado in North Carolina very close to my favorite beach. It killed 3 people! This is/was a wicked storm. We're still getting snow here.
