The official NerdZoner's weather zone! How's your weather today?

I had to convert 8C to F (46F). That's always nice when you are expecting cold temps when you walk out but then the sun is shining and it's pleasant. I also love when there's just a breeze in cool weather instead of high wind gusts. The sun can do it's thing making some warmth even in the cold. That makes the cold even colder for me if it's super windy. 
Spring weather has arrived in Texas. Some of our recent days have been in the mid 70's F. The nights are still staying pretty cool but much better than most of January and February. We have some storms coming through another sign of Spring weather working it's way as the jet stream begins to move towards the south for awhile.

A change in the polar vortex could make things all nice and cozy in the UK this month.

What is the polar vortex and how could it affect weather in the UK this month?
Forecasts have indicated that there is a good chance of a ‘sudden stratospheric warming’ event in mid-March.
I thought this paragraph was particulary interesting from a weather nerd perspective. The reversal part:
I hope you get the warmer weather this month from this polar vortex reversal.
Last night we had a severe squall line come through. My patio furniture and cushions were tossed in the yard and my outside sofa was moved by about 10 feet. We had severe wind with this storm up to 75 mph which is hurricane strength. There are broken trees and debris everywhere. A lot of homes and businesses in our area had damaged roofs or roofs that caved in. Today we got to enjoy a super dust storm. The sky turned yellow, and the sun disappeared. We've been under a wind advisory since yesterday until 9pm tonight. I went to check my mail and you almost can get blown away walking. There are areas of Texas that are under a fire danger warning because they are so dry and with these excessive winds they are subject to fire danger, much like what happened in California when the Santa Anna winds picked up recently and set off so many fires and destruction to a lot of homes.
I have to say, kind of wondering what kind of Spring to expect if it's already starting out this way?
I hope everyone else in Texas is fine and have your power back from the storm. I also hope everyone is staying warm and cozy for this early March too where ever you are.

Not too bad over here. Basically mild with a touch of cold and sometimes rain over the last two weeks. Temperture does drop quite a lot overnight though. For example, today was 17c which dropped 4c when I drove back from a night at the cinema this evening. Overall, we're heading into spring.
I can recommend this movie that we saw:

Basically the same type of weather here lately, though a couple of degrees colder. Like 11°C during the day, and maybe 2°C in the night, which is near freezing. In other words: when I ride home from work on my scooter it's quite pleasant, but on my way to work in the very early morning even with some good gloves the cold still hits my fingers! 
@Retro Your weather still sounds cold for March, but least you are having mild temp days. I just watched your trailer. Omg, Mr. No Pain looks great!
@Hitcore 11C would be pretty cold on a scooter in the morning.
Your country has all the best clothing for cold weather unlike the states. Retail stores send the lighter coats to the south, warmer rated coats and accessories to the North and East, so you have to really shop online if you are looking for something specific for super cold weather, that is if you live in the south.

No, no... 11°C is the afternoon temperature. In about half an hour I will be riding through this:
For about 32 kilometers / 20 miles!
Lol...that's a clever way to put it.Let's call it a form of meteorological masochism.
The cold will certainly wake you up! There's a big multi-day weather outbreak in the southern plains states of the US and central plains states through this Saturday. This is spring weather in the US. Unfortunately, March came in like a lion (intense weather) instead of a lamb. We have to make it through May. That's my weather over the next few days. 
How's everyone's weather this week?
How's everyone's weather this week?That's my experience in the south as well, at least as far as Texas goes: it's either hit or miss. Either the most perfect weather ever, or quite eventful, devastating sometimes even.There's a big multi-day weather outbreak in the southern plains states of the US and central plains states through this Saturday.

The temperatures here are still a bit chilly in the mornings, but slowly they are getting better next week.
Yep, exactly. It's been hit or miss for several states this week and some states have really suffered with numerous tornadoes, and some were EF3. There's a tornado on the ground in Texas right now, but I'm good where I'm at.That's my experience in the south as well, at least as far as Texas goes: it's either hit or miss.

Your temps at 1C are pretty cold.
Do you have a lot of wind in the spring and fall? What is the worst part of your weather? Lots of cold and snow or does it rain a lot? Since you already know Texas weather, the worst part of it for me are the hot summers when they reach over 100F for days and weeks and there's no rain. It gets so dry in the summer too. I'm used to the bad weather in the spring and fall. I think I've only taken cover once as an adult, otherwise, I'm the one fascinated by seeing a wall cloud, super cell or funnel forming and I'm out there taking pictures. 
The time I took cover, we had a severe storm come though with excessive winds and most everyone in our neighborhood lost large trees and fences.Your temps at 1C are pretty cold.
Yeah, it's generally very windy here. See the purple bit in northwestern Denmark?
Yeah, that's where I live. It's so windy here that it is windfarm central. Combined with loads of precipitation we pretty much have the same weather as Scotland. In winter we have snowstorms. I'd say that's my least favorite weather type, especially as a scooterist.
Still, I prefer the Danish climate over the Texas climate. I'm totally with you there, Tiffany. Prolonged periods of 100°F is something I am pleased to do without.
While Danish winters can be quite harsh, Danish summers on the other hand are perfect. The hottest recorded temperature here is 36°C. That's 97°F. Imagine that: whereas in Texas and most of the south this is a common summer temperature, in Denmark that's a peak we only get to experience maybe a few times in our lives.
Usually summer temperatures are 20~22°C here, which is in the 70°F region.
Windfarm central...good way to explain your windy part of the world. I'm looking at a world map, so I can clearly see Denmark and the comparison of Scotland's weather which is much like where you live. Cold, windy, rainy weather that would be a challenge on a scooter, too.
I'd take your climate too, over Texas, lol. The summers can get really repressive with the hot days, no shade or clouds, very little wind and hardly any precipitation for months. Your summers sound awesome and the perfect temps too!
It is very disheartening. So many deaths and damage and a lot of these states are dealing with flooding for several more days as the creeks, lakes and rivers have been flooding into neighborhoods and streets. The weather can be very powerful, but it's heartbreaking seeing the substantial damage and so much loss on the human side especially. People can rebuild but it's getting increasingly more difficult here in the states with the inflation on building materials, food and everything for people to be able to keep up with a normal life, much less a tragedy like this.
