Record high temperatures expected tomorrow. My area of Seattle is expected to reach 66. Seattle itself should see around 60. This is due to a storm that originated southeast of Hawaii. Very warm waters. The tropical system is bringing lots of rain with it. Or should I say, did. Today sucked...just rained all day. Tomorrow should be warmer and drier. Should be a nice change.

Sounds like beach weather.  Around Chicagoland, it's supposed to be a high of 43, coming up from a low of 29 in the morning.  It was only in the low 20s this morning.  Friday should be a heat wave in the low 50s.  :biggrin:

Currently 1 C (33 F) and snowing in Ironwood, MI (on the Wisconsin border). It was overcast in the eastern U.P., raining across the middle of the U.P., then quickly turned to snow in the western U.P. Here's a photo of driving through Ontonagon County on M-28.



For the roadgeeky here, this is why we need No Passing Zone pennants, Do Not Pass signs, and Pass With Care signs.  Striping is worthless until April.

Sunny outside and 57°, but it's windy (NW 18 mph). Not a cold wind yet, but it's picking up–supposed to go down to 29° tonight.

Michigan is great at signing these, but Ontario almost never signs no passing zones. I agree that it's a great idea. Even in the summer, the pennants are nice and easy to see.

As for weather, it's currently -2 C (28 F) in Guelph.

Christ, if you need the NPZ pennants to not pass in that weather, you may have other issues. :)

You haven't driven much in Da UP, have you?  The roads almost never get plowed down to pavement.  Yoopers pass in that weather a lot.

Not at all actually, though I have driven through Minnesota winters, which I have to imagine are similar. But in any event, that was just my (poor) attempt at a joke. :ded:

Yikes! That sounds downright cold, compared to the temperature it actually reached today:

A little bit of the tropics.  Monsoon rains yesterday.  Today, turned to partly cloudy with some sunbreaks and warm, warm, warm.  65 degrees, which is absolutely amazing for the day before Thanksgiving.

Almost as cold, but the Upper Peninsula sees a lot more snow.  Houghton and Hancock, for example, see an average of 210 inches of the white stuff every year.  One season, I was up there for college, they got over 320 inches from October through May, inclusive.

Winter is coming closer by the day. It's frosty every morning, plenty trees lack leaves, and it's getting nice and cool.

It was around 50, slightly breezy and "nice" where you were on Black Friday (according to your post). I don't see why Chicagoans were so much luckier. It wasn't that much warmer.
