Weather WTF

[Savonarola]

Current temp is -36c at 10am.

Apparently it was cold enough to cause one of the LRT rails to crack, which led to an extra half hour being added on to my commute this morning.

I told the team working on Edmonton LRT this; they said they were going to check to see if they could have Edmonton moved about five hours south.   

They do have to design the rail differently in Edmonton than in the other projects I've worked on due to the potential for extreme cold.  I guess it wasn't enough in this case; that surprises me knowing how much we have to over-design everything.

I have to hand it to whomever was outside working to fix the rails in  that cold (and at night!) - they had it repaired within about 24 hours or so.

The snow, she comin down pretty good now boss.

Snow drops and crocuses out.

Start of February Daffodils are coming out here a month early; Nature thinks Spring has arrived.

Punxatawney Phil calls early spring. 

[Admiral Yi]

7F right now, gonna drop to -6 tonight.  Then shoot up to 40 on Saturday.  Crazy.

Looks like Phil called it.

Cold here today too, but weather lately has been warmish - in the 40sF. Lots of rain this week. But this time of year the sun is higher in the sky and because of that it almost feels like the beginning of Spring.

[Caliga]

No accumulating snowfall at all this year so far.  Global warming = TEH FAKE

Spring here, nearly everything is growing.

If only it would stop raining for a week or two.

Forecast for the winter 19/20: 8 degrees day and night with high chance of drizzle.

Denmark

If the Gods are mild we might be able to confirm the existence of the sun by spots of lesser dense clouds appearing slightly back lit.

It's been slightly colder than that, about 4 degrees, and the drizzle has been replaced proper rain almost every day. That and the constant 12m/s westerly wind has flooded several parts of Denmark

I recant my previous and replace it with a .

The record has been broken: wettest February ever in Denmark! And the forecast has 6 days of rain ahead.

[KRonn]

Warm today for February, 40s (7c) up to maybe 50 (10). Going to get some rain or rain/snow mix a couple days this week, probably some snow in northern New England.

[Malthus]

It actually feels like spring is in the air here in Toronto.

My guess is that the weather is just softening us up for a massive ice storm.
