Are you in an area where it usually snows in January? All it does is rain in January where I am :-D

Going to guess he's somewhere near me (in which case, the answer to your question is yes). Here in the snow belt, it's 50 degrees and raining  :pan:

Correct, I live in PA.

Darn, missed my opportunity to get Reply #1000 :-( I'll have to settle for #1006.
It's actually sunny here right now, albeit cold, temps in the 20's.

Brief spring taste today before back to average for late January

7/8

Today's the day of the Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR 2018) at my local ski hill (Chicopee). Just our luck, the weather is a high of 7°C (45°F) and rain :ded:. I'll guess we'll have to make the most of it. Go Waterloo! :clap:

Last two days had highs in the 50s (52 Thursday and 57 (‼) yesterday), but back down I go!

It's an unremarkable 57 and cloudy. Well, okay, I guess that's more normal for mid-February rather than late January, but still, no big whoop. Expecting some rain tonight and through most of the day tomorrow.

Another record high: 64

It was similarly warm up here (my dashboard read 60 earlier today), but the temperature tumbled when the rain moved in. Mid-40s now, only two hours later.

Funny how things work because my thermometer today went the opposite of what you had (45 until 3pm when the rain moved in, then raised to 52 in an hour).

Last night, had a 40% chance of flurries.  Turns out I woke up to 2" of flurries and school delays in my area.  30 miles south and east, places that were supposed to get 2" tops got 8.  Supposed to warm up into the 40's Thursday before rain, then a cold front and a change to snow on the backside (probably not much).  Pats fans and people flying back to Logan and TF Green from Minneapolis after the game may have to endure the remnants of a possible Sunday snowstorm.  Not liking the next two weeks; payback for an extended January thaw after the deep freeze.
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

Well that's a forcast bust if I've ever seen one. :bigass: Now, can I have some of that snow?

^RGT, I do wish you'd spend at least some of your online time browsing the forum, and posting in complete thoughts, instead of posting fluff like this.

A bit of snow this morning. Very cold and windy at night.

47 degrees isn't the weather. That's the temperature. "Weather" encompasses many things beyond temperature, such as how dry or wet it is, if it's windy, etc.

The original post describes both temp and precip. I would assume that this is the baseline for a response, as it would be in real life:

"What's the weather, John?" "64 and raining, Mary."




Seattle is entering a dry streak. No rain in the forecast for at least four days (and Thursday looks to be mostly dry with a passing AM shower). Temps relatively steady in the low- to mid-50s. Beyond Thursday, I don't see any rain in the forecast. I'll take it! Especially after a very rainy January.

Hurricane Rex

Okay... 5th 60 degree day in the year and all but one have been dry. This was the first to be sunny for a lot of it.

To strengthen your point Jakeroot, from dictionary.com: weather: the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.

Round 2 of snow today after a bitterly cold morning following a 2-incher storm yesterday. 3-6 inches tonight possible, with another 2 storms this week. A very active pattern

The missing rain in Seattle has, I believe, found a home in Atlanta. We got something like 1.5 inches yesterday (mixed with some sleet/ice in the far northern suburbs), with thunderstorms in the forecast all day on Wednesday, and a likely complete washout for the coming weekend. It'll be fairly mild, though, with highs around 60 for most of the week.

We're dry today, though. Sunny and 39 right now, with a forecast high near 50.

I was talking to one of my "girl...friends" who lives in Statesboro, and she told me the same thing! I don't mind thunderstorms though. You can send those our way.

This is an odd thread. What's the weather right now? It'll be a never ending conversation.

Definitely an endless thread. But to take the question literally, one's response would have to include more than just a single aspect of the definition of weather (posted above by Hurricane Rex -- thanks mate). In my opinion, that would mean including at least the temperature, and the amount of precip (or lack thereof) now and forecasted, since those were the two things mentioned in the OP.
