As the old saying has it, when all other subjects have exhausted themselves, you can either talk about paprika, or the weather. Since we've recently gone the paprika route, that leaves the weather.

So, give. What's the weather like where you live?

It's cloudy and in the low forties, Fahrenheit-wise, here. The trees have lost their foliage, and the architectural horrors of New Jersey are revealed for all to see.

Typical British Weather

Raining brimstone.

Its been unusually cold here in the southwest and it rained a little over the weekend, but its warming back up to the low 70s (f) for the rest of the week. My orange tree is starting to ripen, I should be drinking fresh OJ by Christmas.

It's currently hazy and 48 degrees.

Man, I could respond on this subject EVERY DAY FOREVER!

Rainy, grey, cold....not fun at all actually. Typical Dutch weather.

Cloudy, cold and snowing....

Well here in Bergen we have a truly lovely weather at the time, the temperature is about 2 degree celsius, and we have a nice mixture of snow and rain falling from our fabulous gray heavens. Here we call it "sludd" don't know what it's called in english though.

So in conclusion the weather is really crappy, but that's okay, because it could be better

Oh, and by the way, the ground is becoming rather sloppy, which is great since we can now slip and fall when we are walking somewhere. What makes it more fun is that Bergen is basicially a whole bunch of downhills, which means that when you fall, you just keep sliding untill you hit something, like a car for instance

It's dark outside and I can't see what the weather is like.

@ Asriel. I guess we would call 'Sludd' Sleet.

Weather here is night! It's been pretty clear and frosty the last few days, so very cold, but tonight there's a bit of cloud cover, so it shld be warm(er) this morning. Temperatures are around 3/4C early and late, and 8/9 mid day. This topic is so british!

Hmm I would say, dry, windy and too hot for the time of the year. Are we in the same Netherlands??

I'd say it's rainy, grey, cold....not fun at all actually. Typical Dutch weather but also dry, windy and too hot for the time of the year.

Fable... please don't tell me you've run out of idea's for topics? That would mean APPOCALYPSE!

No, but I knew this would draw answers. It's funny how you can get people to always talk about the weather, isn't it?

It's Vancouver and it's November... pouring bloody rain.. what else is new...

Actually, it is a bit of a double-edged sword. Wonderful to fall asleep to... there are few things more relaxing than the sound of rain. However, knowing that you have to get up and go out into the stuff eventually is less than inspirational.

We actually got up to 60 Fahrenheit, today, under skies that constantly moved from cloudy to sunny. This is unusually good for this area, but then, the weather has changed greatly since I was last living in the New Jersey/Pennsylvania/New York City region. Then, about forty years ago, it was common to have an average of 25-40 Fahreinheit now; 35-50 seems to be the current average. And they say they can't detect any difference in US weather patterns over the years.

Where I grew up along the front range of the Rockies in Colorado, the winters used to be very cold, and very snowy. Even in this area that was known for its changeable environment, there would be weeks where the roads would be covered in deep snow that couldn't be plowed. I would imagine that those few weeks were something like what the northern climes experienced for the duration of their winters, when horse-drawn sleighs were a viable means of conveyance. As I grew older, the cold and snow seemed to diminish. The sledding hill only gave a spotty few days of fun rather than a month or two. Further proof of the weather change was the old rope-pull ski lift in town that hadn't been used since the 1950s. I used to marvel that anyone would have thought that there would be enough snow in the winter to justify putting up a ski lift. Must have been even more snow in the 50s and before.

I used to attribute the cause to global warming, but I have reconsidered. While global warming may be affecting the world's climate, I think the greater affect for local climates may be the spread of urban and sub-urban development, taking up precious rural and natural land. There is a known correlation between laying that much concrete and asphalt and a rise in average temperature. In addition, the kind of fumes produced by a city will also affect the weather.

Here in Arizona, Phoenix has always felt considerably warmer to me than the surrounding desert. Tucson, which isn’t as large, hasn't felt as bad, except that continued expansion may be changing this trend. But we are also in a drought for the last several years, so things may change when (if) the drought ends.

Wow. It sure is nice to live in Southern California...

About seventy five degree's... warm... nice... comfortable... guess what. It'll be that way tommorow too...

We dont really have this "Weather"

Cold and sunny right now. It is said to snow this weekend. I hope not.

[QUOTE=Gwalchmai]I used to attribute the cause to global warming, but I have reconsidered.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure about all this global warming stuff... The climate changes on a cyclical basis, or so I hear. So although global warming might have some effect, the climate would have been changing anyway. I'm not really an expert. Does anyone know anything about this?

The weather here is grey and windy, but it's not raining, and it's fairly mild, about 14C.

It's supposed to pour with rain tonight, and get cold this weekend.

Last weekend was surprising. It was a bit early in November, and yet it gets freezing cold (about 13 degrees Fareinheit; don't know what that is in Celsius off-hand), and last Friday was filled with freezing rain, sleet, and SNOW. Not a heck of a lot, and much of it has melted as tempuratures over the week have risen into the low 50s Farenheit, but some of it still remains as of today.

The thing is, it was almost like something was giving a sign of more bountiful things to come, such as my favorite treks through snow-covered forest trails.
