Forecast for tomorrow night
Heavy frost from Finland to Czech Republic, not better in other regions.
We are going to have couple really cold days in whole Lechia:coldbanana:

Re: Weather forecast
 

What is it ? A map of some ocean??? :ha:
Central Europe people have all of my admiration for being able to live in such conditions.

Anyway , let's get ready for the next two days.... they will be as tough for us as for our nanas.....

Re: Weather forecast
 

Ehm... these are conditions similar to Turin, Milan... ;)

Re: Weather forecast
 

That I consider MITTELEUROPA too !!!!!!:ha:

Re: Weather forecast
 

We had -13,5C last night, the lowest temperature so far was -17,3C.
I have two thermometers with memory located in 2 different places in the garden to get quiet reliable results of measurement.
These temperatures are for my home town Józefów where I have a garden but I work and live also in Zamość (40km North) where is usually a little bit colder.
Although this is one of the coldest regions in Poland (winter) we have very hot summers.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Thats nothing for Poland! Even here we had -18C in Otočac last night. U can do much better Sew!

Re: Weather forecast
 

Some parts of the country had more (or less) than -20C, I don't know why the biggest frosts omit me so far.
Forecast for today night brrrrrrr (but still relatively warm here)

Re: Weather forecast
 

We had - 0.8° C last night here, but we can do better.
The record low for Greece was - 15.2 ° C. Well, it was at an altitude of 2090 m (6860 ft) at a ski resort, but we can compete with you guys!!! :ha:

I've been at the ski resort Kaimaktsalan and if you got bored from greek beaches, try a glass of ouzo in the snow!:bananas_b

Homepage of the ski resort (only in greek): Kaimaktsalan Ski Resort. By the way: Kaimaktsalan is a turkish word and is used today - even the Greeks and Turks are still not "best friends". The meaning (litterally translated): "thief of the cream topping". You can steal personally from tomorrow on, because the season will start.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Wow, I didn't know there are places for skiing in Greece... but I think I would definitely chose beach.
I know Greek only from physical and mathematical formulas from school... :ha:

Some curiosity:
Max and min. temperatures in Poland:
-41°C in Siedlce 11th January 1940
+40,2°C in Pruszków 29th July 1921

Re: Weather forecast
 

Yeah, it's not very known that there are ski resorts here and they're very small - compared to the ones in the alps, but at least one could go skiing here and it's not very expensive.
It's a bit strange if you know greek beach bars/tavernas, because it's the same thing here in the mountains at the resorts. The only difference is that fresh fish is not that reguarly offered there and the spirits sold are also the local homemade types, but they do taste good and warm up you're body on a cold day :bananas_b

Re: Weather forecast
 

Yeah, I'm busy working. :ha:

Didn't notice my hands freezing off. Btw, Sew, we've got purple in the map!!! na na na na na na!

Re: Weather forecast
 

I have drunk 3 mulled beers to warm up.:ha:
Jack
Purple... but only in the mountains, If you have purple in Bratysława that would be an achievement:ha:
Bernd
I don't know why but senstece like: /I am going skiing to Greece/ souns very stange :D

Re: Weather forecast
 

Looking out the window this morning I found this:



- 2° C / 28 ° F and this is still Greece (!) on that pic! I'm just 87 m / 285 ft above sea leavel. (My daughter is completly excited. I have seen enough snow myself, as I grew up in Central Europe :-)

Re: Weather forecast
 

Never going to happen. :08:
I just wanted to point out, that we have the more beautiful side of the Tatra. ;)

It's nice, sunny and cold today. Time to check on the Makarska palms and what -10 several times in the previous weeks did to them. :08:

Re: Weather forecast
 

This is because you lay your hands on majority of it ;)

Just made photo:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Ok guys , things got officially ridiculous !

-4° in Rome ? In December ? It must be a joke..... I do not remember such an occurance....
Today I woke up to find that my hot water's pipe was frozen because it ran on the roof to join the thermic solar device.

For a moment I thought I was in Alpes in a place like San Candido or Bad Gastain....

My basjoo that was unprotected got a big toast... the Orinoco hold a little better but effects could be seen in a near future..... I didn't have the courage to look after D.C. and Thousand fingers inside their nursery...

The last few days were the worst weather I remember since I was I child.... Last year in February we had snow, it's true... but temps were somewhat above zero.... not -4°

Re: Weather forecast
 

;)
Oh yeah. :08:


Yup, that's ridiculous alright. But more ridiculous is that it was 4°C in Genoa this morning, while it was -3°C in Rome. At least that's what my stickers said it was.

Pretty switched, right? :ha:

Hold in there pal. And while you are at it and can't remember that it was this cold, look up the year 1985. ;)
It was so cold then, that vast majority of citron trees in the south actually froze, while the north was scorched by blizzards and cold never seen before.

Quote from Wikipedia for Firenze (Florence):

Re: Weather forecast
 

Was that actual -4 or just on sticker? My sticker was also at -4 this morning, showing Split airport temp., some 80 km North from me but we were arround ZERO :( at that time. Its even now on 3C and actual temp is above 6C

Re: Weather forecast
 

:eek::eek:It's snowing.....now......in Rome......:eek::eek:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Lovely:ha::ha::ha:
My friend is going to Rzym tomorrow, I must tell him:ha:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Just got back home..... what a mess.... everythin has been toasted for goods.... even plants under greenhouses....
The only hope is that the pseudostem is alive or as last resource , at least the corm....

Tomorrow I'll put up the pics..... I'm too sad right now...

Re: Weather forecast
 

I feel it every winter ;)
I hope all damages are superficial and your plants will be ok.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Wow Rick :(. Can U digg the corms out and try to save them? Its raining now here and good news is that we will have first night above ZERO in last few days.

Re: Weather forecast
 

here it's raining too and temps have raised well above zero.... I hope that damage is limited to leaves and to an ugly brown looking....

Re: Weather forecast
 

Cut off the damaged tissue, or you will be risking rot with those temps.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Hey Jack
where is palm report?

Re: Weather forecast
 

I didn't get to it. Too cold outside. :ha:
I couldn't even force myself to have a look at the worms.

Re: Weather forecast
 

OK, they survived several lows of -14°C, lots of snow, frost and water, when it all started melting and now the same again. And most of them live. Damaged, but live. I didn't get deep enough to find those in the ground, but I guess the situation is the same. More to that. All those palms outside were in pots, so that's another advantage. Yeah, Ante, they are veeery strong. I must admit that. Those, that survive, will be planted in the ground next spring. Pics tomorrow, when the snow melts down. ;)

Re: Weather forecast
 

Re: Weather forecast
 

This is how it looked here this morning

Good thin is that most of that white thing disappeared till noon so my ananas can enjoy few more days

Re: Weather forecast

Re: Weather forecast

The yard has a strange look:waving:

Re: Weather forecast
 

Those palms with snow just look great! :08:

Re: Weather forecast
 

What are these wreaths underneath the trees Sherry?

Jack
You have lovely temperature recently:ha:

Ivan
Wow, I think it is not ordinary to have frost and snow in South-west France?
Beautiful pictures you've made :)

Re: Weather forecast
 

Still alive. Thats all I can say for now:ha:. I ll try to get some pics tomorrow.

Re: Weather forecast
 

Those are wreaths that people have left on their loved one's graves...I was in a cemetery.


Today, it snowing hard again. Here's a shot I took from my window...you can see an icicle hanging down in the picture from the roof...





At -5°C...22°F, it's going to snow the rest of the day.


Hope everyone's having a great Sunday. ;)

Re: Weather forecast

Re: Weather forecast
 

I understand that Blue are regions were temperature was lower then usually(opposite to red), aren't they?

"Decembrove" sounds hilarious to me:ha:

Re: Weather forecast
 

No, blue means cold, red means warm. White means borderline cold/warm. And yes, it is taken as a comparison to statistical cold temps. :08:
