    Cold and snowy, though it didn’t actually snow much last year. Hopefully we get more snow this year.

    The weather where I live on the California coast is between 55°F and 85°F year round. Earlier this week it was foggy at 60°F, yesterday it was 80°F.

      Yeah, mid-south. It’s been a few years since we got more than a dusting. We’ve had freezing temps a few times so far this year, but nothing that lined up with precipitation.

      Same we always seem to get several weeks of 20F or lower and snow after Christmas but before that it’s rare to have accumulation stick around for more than a few days. It’s kinda sad

    Pacific northwest but west of the Cascades mountain range.

    Rain. Rain for days on end.

    It’s changed in recent times. It used to be more consistently constant with virtually no breaks in the rain and it was more of a drizzle too. Now it feels like it’s trending towards more substantial and less frequent, more like what the rest of the country is used to

    A typical winter day is below freezing but above 0. Snow will fall and usually melts away a few times before sticking around until spring. Lows in an average year will have a few nights that drop below -10, but won’t hit -20.

    That said, there’s a huge difference between the average and the extremes we sometimes get. Any given day in winter can range from about 50 to -50. I’ve had multiple apartments where frost forming on the walls was a problem. We might get absolutely buried in snow, or we might have almost no snow all winter and then get a blizzard in May. Last year the USDA updated plant hardiness maps and our area went up a level, then a month later we had a massive storm and deep freeze that killed a lot of trees.

      We had some young trees killed by rabbits gnawing at the base. They’ll gnaw on anything if they can’t get below the snow for grass. Got some alligator bags for the replacement trees and that’s seemed to work well. One of them got slightly munched by a deer but survived, which was nice.

    Pacific Northwest. Usually I would’ve had to plow the driveway several times by now. The one snow we’ve gotten didn’t last 24 hours. Christmas is projected to be way too warm to snow. This will only hurt our water table with less snow accumulation.

    Cold and dry, but still pretty warm during the day. A good amount of snow can fall and be gone by the afternoon.
