What is your weather like?

[Best Mom]

In Western NY today it is dark, windy and cold with a high of 44 failing into the 30's. In the hills there is snow expected for tonight. Oh how I wish I was in Florida!:cold:

[Donna]

Pocono's, Pa..,:yuck: It is cold, damp, and dark here too..

Tonight it is going down to the 20's...barf...I HATE the cold weather...:cold:

[Best Mom]

I am going to hide out under heavy blankets with my electric space heater on. When will you be in the Villages Donna?:cold:

[MelZ]

Lower Hudson Valley, NY

Nasty Skies, 50's during the day and frost tonight. After the rain the winds are supposed to start.

Florida sounds so nice

[Donna]

I am going to hide out under heavy blankets with my electric space heater on. When will you be in the Villages Donna?:cold:


We are arriving late Sunday night...:a040:

[rekop]

Well, not to rub your nose in it, but the weather here in The Villages has been absolutely lovely. High's in the high 70's to low 80's, sunny, lows at night in the high 50's. The golf courses are green and lush. Hang in there, Bestmom!

[Mikitv]

It is cooler here in Arkansas but not as bad as you Northerner's. It has been mainly in the mid to high 70's with our nights in the 50's. Hopefully we won't get really cold until January. At least the summer heat here as prepared me for Florida weather.

[ConeyIsBabe]

This is my favorite time of year.... the summer heat is gone and the bleak, cold rainy season has not arrived yet. The fall colors are glorious at its peak!

Today is a blue-sky sunny day around 70 degrees with no wind. Overnight the temp drops to the low 40s. These nice days are numbered :faint:

[Shirleevee]

It was a lovely day in Manhatttan earlier today. Right now, getting windy and it is starting to look nasty. The temp. here on Staten Island is about 50 degrees. :sad:

My husband is arriving in TV on Halloween and I will follow soon after:a040:

[graciegirl]

It is pretty near perfect, but the leaves are strange this year, damaged due to the high wind, the unusual wind from Ike. Who would dream a hurricane could reach Cincinnati? The leaves aren't bright colored, just brownish and beaten up looking. It is 70 during the day and mid 40's at night.

[graciegirl]

I want to apologize. It seems like I am posting every five minutes. As soon as we get to TV, I will not be beating my gums on here. I just am thinking about TV and this is my only out until we get there Friday. Woooo hooo. You won't be hearing from me much once we get there. Some of you will appreciate it more than others.

[nONIE]

Gracie, it is a shocking fact that some of us are still on TOTV alot when we get down there.:rolleyes: It is a hard habit to break. I know it seems ridiculous but its true. Mabe you will be the exception.

[sschuler1]

If it means we don't get to hear from you anymore GG, then please don't go! :ohdear:

[nONIE]

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!:cold:

Very cold and gloomy in Upstate n.y. The beautiful leaves are gone and the air holds the promise of snow & cold! IMHO definitely time to head south. :crap2:

[Best Mom]

I pay for my home in the Villages for 12 months and I am stuck in this cold weather due to doctor's appointments ...how dumb is this!! :cold::cold:

In the meantime it is interesting to hear about everybody's weather.:)

[The Great Fumar]

Calling for 24 tonight in Northern Michigan ......11 more days and I'm otta here for the winter...........I'm sure the weather is gorgeous in the villages where the only wind you get is from chelsea24.............

can't wait fumar

[Best Mom]

The Great Fumar,

:agree:

Read rekop...

There is a reason there are so many people from upstate NY and Michigian in the Villages.

[chelsea24]

ahhh, and what a soft, gentle perfumed wind it is, eh Fumar! LOL
:laugh: Hurry home, dear man, the buffalo need feeding. ;)

[Best Mom]

High so far today is 38, rainy and cloudy. However, I am happy to be alive and that makes it a beautiful day!! :laugh:
Any other weathermen out there who want to report?

:thumbup:

[rekop]

Just another great day here in The Villages. Its 79, sunny with a few clouds, a light tropical breeze blowing.....

[Best Mom]

Western NY is very sunny and warming up to the 50's :a040:

[tkret]

Wed. night 10/29 ... temps dropping to below freezing tonight in downstate NY.

[Shirleevee]

This afternoon, here on Staten Island, we had gumball size hail. Five minutes later the sun was out and a few minutes after that the sky was dark and it rained. :sad:

[chuckinca]

SF Bay Area has many climates. In the East Bay it was a high of around 70, foggy and in mid 50's during the 6:30 AM drive to work in the dark.

Holloween decorations are in the yard and the front door entryway.

Dawali lights on many of the houses.

High school soccer season starts in two weeks. Our 24 yo son will drive in 100 miles from Sacramento State to play in the annual alumni game on the 14th.

[Jerseygirl08]

You guys in TV are killing me - stop bragging about the weather, NOW!!!
Just kidding. In Joisey, it's been raining, 45ish, then lots of wet snow yesterday, many trees down from the weight of all the moisture. Today, grey and dreary, then drizzling, then blue sky with white puffy clouds. Tonight, on way home from work at midlnight, stars are beautiful. Who knows about tomorrow.

Graciegirl: I'll be in Cleveland this weekend. Never been there before but I am looking forward to the long drive across PA and into OH. The trees should be gorgeous. About getting on TOTV when you are in TV: I tend to not get on, mostly b/c my puter was not set up. But I think I will once I get down for good. Love all the information available on this site. That is most important to me. I figure I won't be doing alot of small talk; won't have time. But that may not be true. Either way, I sure hope TOTV is still around when I finally get there fulltime. Ciao:2excited:

I was in Cleveland about 6 years ago for the first time on business and really liked the area - but most places are great in the early fall.

Do the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ! ! !

[BritParrothead]

It is awful here in England at the moment. Very cold & damp, just like our summer really! 40 miles north of us they have snow!! Hate the stuff. Lucky we do not get that stuff where we live. Too close to the sea, and on the Gulf Stream, so it does keep us a little warmer.
All the leaves are now changing colour and do look lovely.

[Bogie Shooter]

I went to Cleveland once, and it was closed.:laugh:

CIB,

Is that Jack in the photo? And that looks like a heck of a dog house he has!

Nice Fall colors ... thanks for posting.

[ConeyIsBabe]

YES, that is Jack in the photo - he loves to run and play with his toys in the yard; and NO, it's not his doghouse..... (he lives inside) .... that's the pump house, where the well is located ;)

He looks great ConeyIsBabe. Pump house reminds me a doghouse I used to find myself in on occasion.

[ConeyIsBabe]

:1rotfl: I'm sure you are NOT the rascal you sometimes portray yourself as -- :shrug:

[tkret]

Thanks ConeyIsBabe. Now I know I have at least one person on my side!

:a040: :1rotfl:

I like that word "rascal" that you used; another member recently called me a "masher".

Who Me? :) :icon_wink:

But I can't imgaine for very long....you are too much of a sweet, funny rascal! LOL

[ConeyIsBabe]

"masher" is a very, very OLD slang word for a gent who might offer unwanted attention to women and I'm sure it was said to tkret in jest :ohdear:
:1rotfl:

But no matter whether he is a masher or not...he is a little rascal...and the best kind!! Glad he is a friend!!!

Masher? You Tkret....I can not imagine!!! :icon_wink:

PS....the weather is just fine!!!

[tkret]

Thursday evening ... the weather in downstate NY this evening is just fine, thank you. The chilly weather seems to have departed and the 7-day forecast is for upper 50's to low 60's. In fact, the overnight temp is supposed to higher than the high temperature during the day yesterday and today. And I noticed that the temperatures are very nice in the North-Central states, too.

But, for those of us who are not in Central Florida ... what's the forecast for you folks, please.

What a great afternoon/evening the weather was for the kiddies to go trick or treating. It was so much fun to see the costumes and not coats hiding them. While out walking my Murphy I was fortunate enough to go near the elementary school and watch the costume parade in the school yard while all the proud parents looked on. Really great and really cute.

[Best Mom]

:coolsmiley:

Frost is on the ground and the pumpkins! It's about 38 degrees now. Super sunny and blue skies. Squirrels are all over picking up nuts. Suppose to have a high of about 60 today.

37 degrees here (Staten Island)....great day for the NYC Marathon.

Go John! :super:

[ConeyIsBabe]

Finally the rainy season has begun in south Oregon; our rain is not like the daily monsoon downpour in Florida..... it's more of a slow, steady piddle - almost every day for 6 months :ohdear: However, the good thing is that means the fire danger season is over !

We're contemplating a trip to the Napa Valley and San Francisco - about a 7-hour drive south :a040:

[tkret]

We're contemplating a trip to the Napa Valley and San Francisco - about a 7-hour drive south :a040:

Oh, ConeyIsBabe, what a nice trip that would be. If you go, PLEASE post photos... you always post such beautiful and interesting photos.

Will you do lunch or dinner on the Napa Wine Train? :icon_hungry:

[ConeyIsBabe]

I lived in the city of Napa for one year and never rode on the Wine Train - it always seemed like a waste, since I could drive the same route and eat at any of the many gourmet Napa Valley restaurants :icon_hungry:

Besides, we'll have Jack along and that would be awkward. AND....... the challenge will be to find a nice hotel that will accept Jack. I already called the Embassy Suites in Napa and they say.... "no dogs" :cus:

Does anyone know of any nice hotels/motels in Napa or SF that take dogs?

P.S. Sorry Off-Topic-Cop :ohdear:

[faithfulfrank]

Well, after spending about a month at our Florida home, we are now back in western NY. I'm freezing!
Fireplace is going, it was 27 degrees this morning and heavy frost.

Last week our friends totaled their car in the ice/snow. In a few weeks we'll cut down the Christmas tree....(12' Doug Fir, not our biggest, but nice), drag it through the snow to decorate while the fireplace warms us up.

We'll be back to Florida for May...can't wait!!
BTW, gas here is $3.07 a gallon.....gotta love NY....low temps and high taxes and gas.....oh well, before long Florida will be our full time home, never to see NY again......

Count your blessings Floridians!!

[Bogie Shooter]

Does the Plantation have a Forum?

[Jim007]

It is currently 38 degrees in Putnam, Ct, and I don't like it! Can't wait to be able to move to TV.

[faithfulfrank]

Does the Plantation have a Forum?

No, they do not. There is a local Central Florida Retirement forum that has sub forums for different central Florida communities, including The Villages and The Plantation, etc. I would post a link to that, but I assume that it would be against the TOTV rules, and I wish to be compliant to those rules.

I have been welcomed here by many others here on this forum, and I assume that the welcome has not expired. It is my understanding that this forum is visited by many who are not T.V. residents....many wannabees, etc.

When I am at our Plantation home, we do a good amount of business in The Villages at the shops and restaurants, etc. I have helped many with interest in TV to actually buy in your community.

If I am mistaken, and have overstepped my welcome, or if the rules here have recently changed and non residents are no longer welcome, please let me know.

Frank ... as far as I know, everyone is welcomed on TOTV, resident or no. And you always have very nice postings and information to share and it's nice to have you as a fellow-member. Please stay aboard.

[punkpup]

34.9 degrees right now; the high today was 41 and the low will be 31. cold

[tony]

Frank,

Don't run away. We welcome all.

Yes Yes Yes And try to stay warm! :)

[chelsea24]

Frank! You can't leave! Who's going to help me with my iMac!

You're always welcome and a very pleasant man. You and the Mrs. hurry back here where it's warm. :laugh:

[faithfulfrank]

Thank you.
Even though I'm 13 miles down the road from you all, with T.V. being so big, I may still be closer then some T.V'ers.......:laugh:

I perhaps misread the question.......my first thought was that it sounded like a snub, but that might not be the case at all.......it is difficult to sometimes understand the intent of the written word.

Anyway, thank you for the kind words and the continued welcome.

Having to be a "part time" Floridian, and having to rent my future home to snowbirds until we retire in 2 years can sometimes be hard. My presence on the Florida forums helps us keep in touch and keeps us going while we cope with the long, cold, NY winters.

Enjoy! Frank D.

[Peachie]

Oh, Frank, I'm glad you're convinced to stay on board. I enjoy your posts and positive attitude and The Plantation is our down the road neighbor. It's good to have you and Mrs. Frank on board. BTW, you had planned on going to Crisper's October meeting.... were you two able to be there?

[tony]

Frank,

Long cold winters? Do what I did. I put a wood burner in my shop on Friday, with help from a neighbor.

I had quite a crowd out there this afternoon backed up to the burner, watching me working at the wood turning lathe.

Let it snow.

[faithfulfrank]

Peachie,
Thank you. I had both the Crisper's lunch and the Mac user's club on the calendar, but got so busy I did not make it. In the 25 days we were back, We had a new roof installed, blew in more insulation, planted 3 more citrus trees, replaced the lampost, and installed a sign I bought up at TV, powerwashed and cleaned the whole house, dug up and moved my sprinkler valves, did some electrical work, installed a attic ladder and shutters and a new address light for a neighbor, fixed and installed some window treatments:yuck: did tons of trimming, planting, etc.....did much more, but that was the bigger stuff.

Tony, Your heater is for your shop/home down in Florida? Interesting. I did not know one there would be needed....but I suppose you do get some colder days....a toasty shop IS nice.

Actually, I just got HOA approval to add a 12 by 20 garage addition for a shop for the Florida home. My house up north here has a 2500 sq ft basement and a 28x40 garage...I will need more storage room for tools, etc down here when we make the move. I may start that addition in May when we return.

My apologies for hijacking a thread that is about the weather.....I was just answering questions......this week up North here it is supposed to get warmer with highs hitting 60.....that is warm for us....

Frank D.

[tony]

No, Frank, it is up north.

[faithfulfrank]

No, Frank, it is up north.

OOPS...my bad. There are few things in life as satisfying as turning wood on a lathe....

Frank D.

[graciegirl]

The weather here in the Village of Hadley is a little tooooooo cool for me. In the past when the G family would vacation together in a warm spot we would throw in a sweatshirt to wear just in case it got cold. It seems that we were always wearing the "just in case" sweatshirt. It now has become a joke. Now here we are and we are NOT warm. NOPE. I think it is gonna snow.

Just kidding.

Ahhh, Frank, it sounds as though the two of you are in the grips of the Florida homestead! You now know the joys of owning two homes and you forgot to mention the constant opening and closing of your wallet, :1rotfl:
Joking aside, there is a great feeling to be working on something together that you know will make your lives even more fun and exciting. You can schedule those other things in when you're in town again.

And in keeping with this thread, it is sunny, beautifully colorful and going to the mid 70's here in the upper Midwest today. This weather is predicted to last through Wednesday which is highly unusual for this time of year. Yea!!!!!!! :a040:

[Best Mom]

Election Day in NY
Beautiful sunny day. We are having what some people call an Indian Summer here in Fredonia,NY for a few days. That means summer weather and lots of sun.
Our fall colors are here but we will get into the 70's. Many are outside raking leaves and the squirrels are all over- busy picking up nuts.

A few college girls on campus are in their swimsuits on a blanket outside!!!

Beautiful weather. :a040::):pepper2:

[Best Mom]

Nov 19th,2008
It is winter in Fredonia,NY. Temp is 28 degrees. Along Lake Erie here we only have a trace of snow but there have been bans of snow away from the lake up to 2 feet.

Best Mom.... overnight we weren't too much higher than you. Got down to the upper 30's but will improve over the next few days into the upper 60's. Today, however, it may not get out of the 50's.

[graciegirl]

Tkret? Your avatar? Is it your barber shop group and the MC?

[Best Mom]

Tkret,
Thanks-yes the papers are saying the South is unusually cold. I guess everybody needs to stay warm!

[tkret]

Tkret? Your avatar? Is it your barber shop group and the MC?

Hi graciegirl ... first of all let me tell you that, although waaay too briefly, it was a pleasure to meet you at a few days ago. And, no, not a barbershop group ... just your's truly and a couple of friends with the waiters on a recent cruise.

Best Mom ... yes we need to stay warm and have warm - feelings, too. Isn't it funny that just two weeks ago you were in the 70's! Are those college girls still in their swimsuits outside on a blanket? :1rotfl: :eek:

[Best Mom]

Trek,
Nope, no college girls on blankets showing a lot of skin today.;)
I plan to hug everybody I can today.( just to warm them up ;)) I gotta get going and stop hijacking my own thread!
Everybody have a super day.:kiss:

Now back to people's weather...

[canadianchick]

It is sunny and cold in Ottawa but kind of refreshing..... cannot wait to get the the villages next Friday to soak up some of that sun. You will recognize me easily .. I will be the one with the white legs lol

[nONIE]

So, I left the villages at 8:00 this morning, a little chilly yes, but beautiful blue skies and lots of sunshine, arrived in Rochester N.Y. 7 hours later to a deep freeze with a few inches of snow on the ground.

My advice to anyone whos thinking of heading North.......DONT DO IT!!!!

Donna, Brace yourself g/f.:grumpy::cold:

Keep the faith and think positive. You'll soon be back in The Bubble. :laugh:

I live 25 miles from Rochester, and sadly have to be here all winter, as we have our Florida home rented to snowbirds all winter. My son lives in Rochester, and WE'll be there all tomorrow. I do feel your pain. Be thankful it is just a visit for you......it is our home still for another 954 days.....

I now believe God never intended anyone to live where you could see your breath......the birds fly south for the winter......they are smarter then we are.....

Sittin here freezing, Frank D.

[Pookirgirl]

Friday nite, Nov. 21st...Just came home from shopping at the HOT mall! When we came outside it was FREEZING! It's 28 FREEZING degrees in Jersey! I WANNA be in TV!!!!

Tony,
Where do you live with 21 inches? Is it melting?

Bless all Northerns who can't get to a warmer climate.!

Very true, very true.......driveways full of snow and ice, cars are all gray with salt slowing turning them to rust, no way to wash them in this cold...(24 degrees now, will be 17 tonight) The fireplace is looking good and feeling great.

I can endure it better knowing that the end is in sight.....

Frank D.

[Boomer]

I do not know what the temperature is out there. I just know that I don't like it. There ain't no sunshine. I hate it when there ain't no sunshine. Gray days make me grouchy. Gray days make me want to say bad words and use bad grammar.

I just put on layers of clothes. I am going to the store right now. I am buying large hunks of red meat and lots of potatoes or maybe I will make some corn pudding (my people call it carbs) and then I will sit around tonight, wearing flannel, and drinking wine, and trying not to type stuff on TOTV. I just joined a wine club. They sent me a whole case. Fed Ex brought it yesterday. I pretend that I will share it with company. HAH! It better warm up here fast.

You know, I met TOTV last November when the weather got this way here in Ohio. I never thought I would stay this long. I pretended I was going to move my computer out of my kitchen. And now, AND NOW, I have written a whole bunch of posts and I cannot seem to stop and now winter has returned......

[conn8757]

From Orlando - we have had our heat on for 3 days - (I have it on in the car too.) I have lived here 25 years and this 50/60 degree business is way too cold for me. I like the 80's.

[Barefoot]

Poor nonie?
Poor Tony has 21 inches of snow on the ground!

Enquiring minds want to know where Poor Tony lives. :shrug: Nanook? My friends e-mail me pictures of Ontario and they have about a foot of now right now.

It is encouraging to hear from experienced residents that this cool weather in Florida isn't the norm.

[Hawkwind]

10 degrees out with a wind chill of 0, about 3" of snow on the ground and it is not even December 1. Location is Uniontown Ohio just south of Akron. The further north you go the deeper the snow gets. East of Cleveland in the snow belt off Lake Erie they have anywhere from a foot to two.
