How's the weather?

week of high winds here in Adelaide South Australia. Many damaged houses. Forecast is for a calm afternoon tomorrow sat 7th Oct. Perfect to fly my two Half-A Ringmasters. fingers crossed the forecast is correct

Hi All,
A first taste of cool NW wind in along time, near Toronto Canada
Got allot of early morning 250g flights in this year.
Exploring local urban fields, weather conditions, etc
Something that I would like share with you.
Unfortunatly, 90yr old Mum got getting sick about a month ago.
Yesterday, 4 cops in bulletproof vests took an hour to get her in the squad car and hospital against her will.
She fought them best she could, but it was 4 against one. The cops were fantastic on an impossible job. No shots fired.
I share this because,
As the fan speed and amount of [bleep] increased, I looked in here on CEF just for a sense of reality.
Mum is in good hands. A prayer her way would be nice.
Do not reply to this situation.
Let's get back to the topic,
How is your weather?
Thanks CEF forum,
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave

Our club is supposed to have a free flight contest today. Winds are at 14-15 mph, and it is raining. We have had some really nice weather here in north Ohio but yesterday and today it all disappeared. mother nature wins again. I'll just use the time today to plan out my winter building projects.

Hi All,
The gusty cool N/W winds have arrived.
Same wind that changes the colour of the leaves, takes them down.
Fall is beautiful here,  just west of Toronto, Canada.
Back in the days,
We raked in cash, by raking leaves, and spent it all at the local hobby shop.
We had to wait till it snowed for the next income...
I remember the long lost smell of a pile of burning leaves....
Going to the Library, checking out the latest stuff in Model magazines.
Asking Mr. Penrose at the Local hobby store how much it would cost for the latest Cox product.
While we were going to the school, that got us to High School.
Mustang bikes, with banana seats...

I'll stop. Thanks for letting me bend your ear.
Send a prayer to my Mum, she needs it.

Thanks, CEF friends,
How is the Weather there?
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave

Reporting from N. Smithfield, RI.. Northeast USA (New England). GPS 41.99N 71.60W.

Currently 50F temperature since midday.. and forecast to be 60F through the night.. and early morning Monday. Rain started just after noontime.. and is forecast to continue through Monday night. A flood watch is in effect for low-lying areas in the surrounding counties. There is also a wind advisory later in the evening.. and into the early morning with sustained speeds of 20-30mph and "gusts" to 45-50mph.

It's definitely unseasonal (milder) weather for this region.. but has been a roller-coaster weather-ride for the past few weeks.. Freezing for 2-3 days.. only to "warm-up" again. It's odd to see plants sprouting from the ground when they're usually dormant well before this time of the year. I'm seeing more and more of that over the past few years.. and it concerns me. It somewhat reinforces what I've been dismissing as hype.. when it comes to the reports on climate change.

Hi roddie,
Over the decades, I am now used to 'gaining/loosing' daylight for Daylight Saving Times.
Winter here is now, so it is Daylight Spending Time ! ?
Whether or not, I like it,
The Weather is changing here.
Picking sun ripened tomatoes late Nov here is one month later than last year.
Usual NW prevailing winds have shifted to SW.
Forecast for no snow for Christmas.
The roads are unsalted. Mid Dec.
Far cry from my 65yrs living here. (I was a snow plower ! )
Not complaining.
Just observing.
Take care,
Have fun,
Dave

P.S. I got allot of urban flying in this year, I'll share in another post.

Pretty warm day yesterday, leading into a "sticky" night with 100% humidity up to 9am.  Drove home from a meeting around 9.30pm watching flashes of upper level "heat lightning".  It was nestled up high in the clouds and flashed an eerie orange colour.  Today has been around 30 degrees Celsius, mainly overcast with an occasional light shower which barely hit the ground.  Still about 80% humidity.  Just had a storm front rumble through which brought no relief, just even more humidity.

Another dusting of snow yesterday. I happened to be out in the four car garage and snapped a picture.

Standard roller coaster ride here in NC , seems I would bee use to it but No lol . Going to bee 57F today and 35F night time not to bad but plenty to do work on a chainsaw I need to get finished up so we have a bigger one to use. Fresh tomatoes in Nov. would bee real nice Halfadave the Humity you can Keep Rod Snow man Bob hope we get some this year but that will bee in Jan. or later ??

It's still raining and we're well into Summer here. Rain in our neck of the woods has been calm and steady, although some flash flooding in a couple of spots, but up north they've had to deal with Cyclones and severe widespread flooding. More normal for them this time of year, but really strange for us.
We would normally be looking at our lawns yellowing off by now but they still need mowing twice a week. Lucky my wife does the mowing

It’s been pretty cold for a couple of weeks now, around -27degC, or -17F. Fortunately not windy, although with even a slow breeze the windchill is below -30F

Supposed to get warmer by tomorrow, around 15F, practically t-shirt weather

Early afternoon today as seen from the dining table:



The dogs love to run and play in the backyard, hence the trampled snow

Sleet and rain till 2;30 yesterday nasty day to , today better with 45F now and 52F later no rain calling for more rain Tuesday and 62F heat wave !

Snow here Eric, about three inches maybe more.  My son about 30 miles East of me just got sleet.

Winds westerly, 17 to 18 steady, gusting to 28. Just spitting snow. Currently 24° with evening temps in the low single digits predicted for the next 7 days; day temps below freezing for 10 days.

Weather here in Elyria Ohio is 27 degrees, wind is 29 MPH with gusts to 47 MPH. Good day to stay inside and build some planes.

Well, we are currently in our current deep freeze...... Nice out right now being only -40 F with the windchill. Slated to hit between -40 F and -67 F over the next couple days. The first picture with current weather is in farenheit, but the picture of the 'warning' is in celcius.

Kim wrote:Got a mean 5°F morning here on the hill, with a brisk northerly breeze trying to shove it through this old house.  So I sent a totally unappreciative Mavic Drone out for some quick photos.  The nice lady robot voice was fussing the whole time, but it made it back home OK.
Good Ole Winter Time!

That light dusting you got came here in NM first. Yesterday was in the low digits (e.g., 8°F or -13°C). Today now it is a warm 18°F (-8°C) and bright, sunny, lower winds.

Hi All,
November here just west of Toronto, Canada,
Is usually ~freezing, grey clouds, preparing for a nice "White, Snowy Christmas"...
Well,
It is end of January and we are stuck in our usual unfortunate November weather.
-snow that melted, before we could shovel it.
-the Sun barely penetrates the dark grey clouds, that still persist.
-all usual Winter outdoor sports are so far cancelled around here.
-I pity the kid who got a toboggan for this Christmas...
-ground is barely frozen.
-zero amount of piles of snow in parking lots.
Lucky for me,
I flew Dec 31st an electric, in a 2C very fine mist. Landed with water dripping off the wings,
First time I have landed a plane heavier than I launched it !  

I also have got 'full spectrum' LED  lights that really help me in the darker days.
It really helps me.
I hope you have Sunnier days...
Take care,
Have Fun,
Dave

I've just returned from the Tamworth Country Music Festival (1,300 km drive each way) where our band was performing in a tent (Imagine a small circus tent). We performed for two hours five nights straight. Daily temperatures were around the 40º Celsius each day but one, with night time temperatures only dropping to around 35º C by our midnight bedtime. Not very comfortable for performing and low crowd numbers proved that even the locals were suffering.

Rain just keeps coming scattered but still wet, 55f yesterday today 45 I think mud and Spongy ground..... 55F Tommy. and sunny lol
