Weather in AZ is freaking trippy today man ... 10 years I been here, never seen this ...

[mr_lebowski]

Usually rain here is very off/on, I've rarely seen > 4 hrs straight of rain.

And the sky is normally cloudy when it rains here, like you can see the rain clouds.

But today, since about 6am (8:30pm now) it literally has NOT STOPPED RAINING for any more than 2-3 minutes at most. Hasn't rained HARD, but there's been times it came down pretty good, but all in all it's just incredibly steady.

And the sky? There's no discernible clouds ... it's like someone sprayed the entire sky with Grey spray-paint.

And there's just been this steady, 3-4 MPH shifting wind, all day ... no gusts, but also never entirely calm. Just this slow, shifting breeze.

And it's freaking COLD (for Arizona) ... I keep expecting it to start snowing, though it's clearly not THAT cold, it feels almost like it's cold enough.

It really seems like a nuclear winter would feel.

1. Where are you?

In Eugene, Oregon, the grey sky rain is what we usually have. I enjoy visiting family in Flagstaff and watching rain fall from discrete clouds. Far more appealing to look at.

5. Phoenix area ...

7. Around 2 p.m. the wind picked up and I swear I saw snow out my office window.

White, drifting, not bouncing off the ground.
Didn't stick, and only lasted about 15 minutes - I can't see how it was snow though, because it was nowhere cold enough, but it definitely wasn't hail.

14. I'm in flag. We've had about two feet of snow since last night. I'm snowed in my place. Was talkin

About the snow of 67 with my kids. The whole town shut down and tunnels were made to get around. We are expecting more. Grey skies, snowed nonstop all night and day. Snowmaggeden. I don’t like it.

2. Sound like most of November where I live

3. Spray paint the sky gray

Cold and rainy all day long

Some days it snows.

Multiply that by 5 months

And I would say Welcome to Ohio

I can imagine you folks in AZ must find that freaky.

4. Oh I've lived other places where I've seen this, it's actually very N. California-like

This weather though ... it doesn't really happen here. It's just trippy on that account.

I actually love it (5 months of it, I wouldn't lol) cause it's like being back home. Too bad it doesn't smell like Oak trees ...

6. Here in New Jersey, the last couple days were weird too

Yesterday it snowed for about ten hours. I don’t think the temperature ever got above freezing. Today it got to 55, at least. I went outside without a jacket at one point. The snow was melting and water was falling out of trees so much that it looked like it was raining.

8. Welcome to our world. Atlanta has about as much rain as Seattle. Phoenix back to 70s soon.

I just looked at the forecast. The gloomy skies will open.

[mr_lebowski]

10. My point is that this place is not like other places weather-wise ...

Today, though, for the first time in 10 years ... it is.

It's just trippy FOR HERE.

11. Climate Change.....I fear we haven't seen anything yet.

9. Welcome to Pugent Sound weather

[First Speaker]

12. Hmmm...Arizona isn't that far from Roswell, is it...?

...not making a point, or anything. Of course. Just sayin'...

[mr_lebowski]

13. Nope, no it's not. And you know, I'm pretty sure I saw some Chemtrails just yesterday (nt)

[vsrazdem]

15. I'm cold in AZ too, but then I keep telling myself, in about 2 months my electric bills are

going to start skyrocketing again and it will be in the 1-teens and higher before you know it.

[mr_lebowski]

16. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it ... I'm just finding it trippy ...

i mean damn, it's STILL RAINING ... in about 5 hours, it'll be 24 straight hours.

To people in other places it's like 'meh, happens all the time' ... but it really doesn't here. Not for the last 10 years, anyways. I was here, I'd remember it.
