60 in Riverton and 38 in Rochester?

[Phillip Dampier]

Argh... it's 38 degrees here, yet the frigid, barren world of Wyoming is sitting pretty at 60 today....  Weather weirdness.

[Front-Ranger]

Yup, it's 70 in Denver! Pretty strange!

Could anyone please post a Celcius-Farenheit equivalence chart please? I can tell you that it is around 5°Celcius here in Rennes (twinned with Rochester by the way, Phil!), and that is above freezing temperature! So how much is 38°F , above or below freezing?

HI there Isabelle - long time no see (Ça fait longtemp que je n't'ai pas vu sur le site - Heureux de pouvoir te parler)

0 C = 32 F
5 C = 41 F
10 C = 50 F

for every 5 degrees celcius, there are 9 degrees farenheit

15C = 59 F
20 C = 68 F
25 C = 77 F

and not that we need it for the next few months but,

30 C = 86 F
35 C = 95 F
40 C = 104 F

more to the point, for the next few months"

-5 C  = 23 F
-10 C = 14 F
-15 C = 5 F

now the really cold:

-20 C = -4 F
-25 C = -13 F
-30 C = -22 F

and when I go back home to Timmins at Christmas, I'll be hearing

-35 C = -31 F

and finally the really cold temperature (where it don't matter no more)

-40 C = -40 F

Don't feel too bad, Phillip.  It got down to 38 F last night here in Boca Raton.  Florida, that is.  It's 43 right now.  (Secretly, I LOVE it, but then that's the Ennis in me coming through again.)

[Phillip Dampier]

Now it's crazy the other way.  It's 16 degrees in Riverton and 68 here in Rochester... in late November.

I wish NOAA and the National Weather Service still made their jet stream maps available on the web -- I have to try to figure out what's going on from the satellite animations, and I would rather see the real data. But it looks to me like the jet stream is making a really loopy path across North America right now, from north-to-south and south-to-north, and the locations of the north and south loops are shifting across the continent. So Wyoming (and Colorado) are getting all this cold air carried down from the north, and then New York is getting this air from Texas.

Beats the heck out of lake effect snow, huh?

Let's see.... It is 10:50 PM EST here in Connecticut and the Weather.Com "Tent" on the bottom of the scene says it is only 8*F in Riverton, Wyoming right now.

BRRR!!    Ennis!  quit yer hammerin and git in here!

Last I check the high for today here in the Chicago area was 63, and tomorrow it's 35 (with snow).

[Front-Ranger]

I just got back from the Proulx lecture in Boulder and the temp never got above 3 degrees the whole trip!

[RouxB]

It's pretty chilly in my neck of the woods as well-relatively speaking. 2 weeks ago it was in the high 80s/low 90s. Today I needed a coat.

 

[Phillip Dampier]

Three degrees... ohmygod.  We get that here perhaps at night for a few days during winter.  Lake Ontario, our grand lake effect snowmaker which can dump 120 inches of snow during our average winter, also keeps the climate temperate here as the lake stays warmer than the land around it, which keeps temperatures higher than in the middle of the midwest or the mountain west.

[Front-Ranger]

Yes, but I had just seen Annie and my buds LauraGigs, brokebackjack and EDelMar, plus my daughter, so I was warm all over.
