How's the weather?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I have a big meeting in the morning and then the plan was to leave for PA from there. It would normally be a 7.5 hour drive. With this bad weather, who knows how many days it'll take to get there! They are calling for freezing rain there tomorrow and 'heavy freezing rain' tomorrow night, then snow until Friday. Buying this gas-hog of a truck was obviously the right thing to do!

[Topkat]

Yesterday & this morning it was freezing here in NYC. The winds were really kicking up making it feel even colder. This morning I think it was in the 20's & that's really cold for Nov. When I came home this evening it was a little warmer, but still in the 30's. I'm so not ready for winter. I hate the cold & we have many more months before it warms up.:fear:

Be careful Va!

The last couple days have been bitterly cold here in IL, but like Brooke, the bad weather seems to be missing us.

For anyone else who is traveling during the holidays, please be safe.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Be careful Va!

I'll try to remember to check-in on Facebook. It's easier than calling or texting the whole family just to let them know I'm still in one piece.

[Houston Baby]

Yes, do be careful VA & take your time. And hopefully your workplace will let you enjoy your
family time.

[HenleyFan1971]

it is suppose to rain in SoCal on weds and thurs no surprise lol we need the rain anyway :thumbsup:

[zeldabjr]

VA...safe travels to you tomorrow...

We have a winter storm warning up..from tomorrow through early Thursday...8-14"...hope they're wrong like they were over the weekend...

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Safe travels to all who r traveling this holiday weekend
It is cold here

[prayfordaylight]

Looking more and more like the system will be out of the way before I get on the road tomorrow night. Just hoping things can dry out for a few hours so I don't have to worry about ice.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

rain lots of rain

[Outlawman13]

It was nice and cold, but no rain in sight!!! Glad!!! LOL the sun is supposed to peak out tomorrow. Let's see about that.

[Grey Sadler]

It's 28F and at least 1 inch of snow here, school would have probably been cancelled if we weren't already out for the holiday weekend :)

I posted some pictures from my front door on FB...seriously, when we get substantial snow before my birthday, LOOK OUT!! :fear: :lol:

[SoaringRockyMountainWay]

I was supposed to have school today but it's a snow day because its super icey. It's a great day though because I didn't have to take a science test and I have more time to spend here. Yay!!!:partytime:

[Midnight_Flyer]

It's freezing here some days

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I love your av, MF!

I'm here in Somerset, PA, got in around 8:00 last evening. Eight hour trip with two quick stops, one for lunch and one for coffee. Didn't even need to stop for gas!

The trip itself was miserable. The first hour was dry but even though it was noon, it was very dark out. Then I ran into rain, then snow, then sleet, then feathers. Yes, feathers. The truck loaded down with chickens was in front or behind me for half the trip! The last two hours was torrential rain instead of just regular rain and made for a tough end of the trip. It all turned to snow overnight, and so today I got to go out driving in it. The truck didn't slip a wheel even when I tried to make it spin! Tomorrow I'll go find a big, empty parking lot and have some fun with it.

[WalshFan88]

COLD!

[Houston Baby]

It is FREEZING here in Houston! Barely freezing but it is 32° here this morning. At least the rain has stopped!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It's 18 here in Somerset! Brr.

[Houston Baby]

Glad you made it home ok VA!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

I agree its cold

[Outlawman13]

Love this cold weather!!! It's awesome!! LOL

[Tiffanny Twisted]

[HenleyFan1971]

In Southern California anything under 50 degrees in the morning is cold for us lol but even of the temp is under 70 you still see people wearing shorts and flip flops that is California for you but starting to warn up now we had a cold snap last week :partytime:

[MaryCalifornia]

Yeah, 47 degrees on my car thermometer at 7:45 this morning, but lots of kids running to school in t-shirts and shorts! We're in a long stretch of sunny days, though.

[HenleyFan1971]

yes that is true it is amazing when I drop my son off at school what these kids wear in the cold I am freezing and they are wearing skirts, short tank tops

[Brooke]

I still see people wearing shorts around here. Some people! He had on shorts, sandals, and a coat! Can I say 'stupid'! :lol:

[HenleyFan1971]

In Socal shorts, flip flops etc seem to a all year around clothes I don't personal were those type of clothes all year around but some do lol

[Brooke]

In Socal shorts, flip flops etc seem to a all year around clothes I don't personal were those type of clothes all year around but some do lol

[MaryCalifornia]

It just started flurring and we are waiting for 3 to 6

So I took the long way round and he was coming up our street brining it as well so ...guess we are good to go..

[zeldabjr]

yeah...it's snowing again here..and 22 degrees...I'm really over it too!...what's the date?...oh no!...I'm moving to Calabasas!!

[StephUK]

Here we've had a day of continual rain, and it's windy too. Yuk.

(for those who don't know, I'm on the South West coast of England).

[zeldabjr]

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Bj I so hear you

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Wow, Z, Cooper's a huge dog, his hoo ha is pretty high off the ground!

Both Farmer's Almanacs said east of the Mississippi is supposed to have a lot more snow and cold temps than normal this winter. Not looking forward to it. Talked to Mom tonight, it's snowed the last three days in Somerset and they're calling for snow for the next three days. I hope it stops when I have to drive up there!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

We're getting more too ?
I just have to do today
and tomorrow at work then off for rest of week
I hate snow

[Brooke]

Wow, I feel for you guys out east and north!

We got 5 or 6 inches Friday night and it was a very wet snow that stuck on everything. And it has remained very cold (17 this morning) and the snow is still stuck on everything! Usually it melts off by the next day. I'm worried about some of our trees branches breaking from the weight of it. No power outages though. A very good thing!

I couldn't handle it snowing constantly and being cold so long. Our winter temps are usually up and down every other day.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

I am so tired of going everywhere in snow boots. Honestly if I knew I'd be wearing them so much I would have been more stylish in my choice.More coming but it will be 50s by the weekend.

[bluefeather]

still NO snow here and it's warmer than it should be!:mad:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

cold and another three inches today ...ugh:nausea:

[sodascouts]

It's getting up to almost 70 in Houston today. Un-freaking-believable.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

rain rain go away and come around another day.
well now between all the snow that melted and all the rain yesterday and today its nothing but a mud pit around here.
Two weeks ago the dug up the front lawn along the 125ft long driveway to run the gas line from the main across the street to our house so it is one freeking mess out there .
rain rain go away:nod:

[zeldabjr]

YUCKY!!!....two feet of snow melted in about two days...now it won't stop raining for the last three days...we are living in a mud pit!!!

[Brooke]

Ice, a skift of snow on top of it and 8 balmy degrees this morning!

http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/freezing.gif

[VAisForEagleLovers]

well thank you, Brooke, for sending that crap this way! I left to go eat lunch with my father and it was 50 degrees. By the time I ate lunch, did a little shopping, and then stopped at his house for a visit and try to come back it was 31 degrees and snowing!!

[Henley Honey]

It was warm enough that I could grill outside tonight. It'll be in the 30's tomorrow, so I think my grilling days are over for the foreseeable future. :sad:

[Glennsallnighter]

Its not gonna be cold this Christmas but the wind is howling and there are 2 storms forecast over the next few days.

[Witchy Woman]

It was warm enough that I could grill outside tonight. It'll be in the 30's tomorrow, so I think my grilling days are over for the foreseeable future. :sad:


Pssshh. Our family was well known in our neighborhood for grilling in the winter. The grill was under the overhang for the garage, so it was game on !! I remember one time when it was snowing like crazy and my grandmother was out there cooking her London broil and cheesy potatoes. Good times.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

well after being so hot and wanting to pass out yesterday its cold again

[Brooke]

We grill some in the winter too.

-3 this morning! A bit frosty!

ETA: Fp, what is your temp there these days?

[Freypower]

We grill some in the winter too.

-3 this morning! A bit frosty!

ETA: Fp, what is your temp there these days?

Oh... as you've asked, normally in late December it is the height of summer and the temperature is in the mid 30s to low 40s (mid 80s to low 90s). It was hot last week. Today, Chiristmas Day, it's overcast & cool. We had some rain. I don't usually post in this thread because I don't get interesting things like snow.

[Brooke]

Wow, that's warm on Christmas! Nice! It's hard for me to imagine Christmas being warm, but it happens in lots of places!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I don't usually post in this thread because I don't get interesting things like snow.

"Interesting". Nice word for it. A lot nicer than the words I have for it!

[Henley Honey]

Good luck to all borderers who are dealing with the NE storm. We are due 8 to 10 inches with blizzard conditions -- high winds, low visibility and snow drifts upwards of 2 feet. My back is still screwed up so while I cant help with the outside clean up, I can keep the hot chocolate coming and make a really nice meal for my poor hubby. Morning temps are supposed to be in the single digits. Brrrrrrr. Stay safe and stay warm!!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

oh HH your DH is a lucky dude.
well we have almost the same thing coming here and it has started about 45 minutes ago.
OUr office will open on a two hour delay.
I have made arrangments to get a ride to an fro.
If that fails there always is the rails but if its bad enough it wont run,
so it is what it is and I cant change anything so I just gotta wait it out and see what we get...
Me Id be happy not to see another snow flake.
yes single digets coming here too.
stay safe everybody

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes, all of you take good care of yourselves and try not to take any unnecessary risks going to work. It's about 40F here. Not a flake in sight!

[ktdids]

I'm trying to think positive about this snow storm, and am grateful that it's not a Nor Easter, it's only snow! Freezing cold yes, but it's only snow so far!

[Henley Honey]

Snow Day!!! We got about 8 inches so far with a few still to come, but what makes it so dangerous is the wind and the temperature. Gusts up to 35 mph and 11 degrees.

[Zanny Kingston]

The greater Boston area got about 15-20 inches of snow so far. Its the cold temperatures that are making it a problem. With wind chill its about 15 below zero. That is really cold for us.

[Brooke]

I feel sorry for you out there in the North east! Stay safe!

We got about 4 inches of snow Wednesday evening and now have horribly cold temps. Minus 10 this morning! http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/freezing.gif

[Elizasong]

I'm on Long Island and we have about 10 inches. Staying home. Might pop in the HOE...

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Stay safe and warm everyone! :grouphug:

[prayfordaylight]

I feel for you guys further north. Two inches of snow managed to mess up a lot of stuff here in the DC area. They didn't prep a lot of roads ahead of time as they expected rain before snow. The rain didn't last long and as a result, side streets were still a mess at lunchtime today. My power also went out for several hours but was back mid-morning.

I can't complain though - got a delay at work until 11AM which is especially nice because I only work until 4 :)

[Brooke]

Wow! Great pictures in that! Keep warm and dry everyone out there!

Thanks Lamorna!

[Henley Honey]

This is how your weather is reported here in the UK. We've got gales of 70mph, heavy rain and high tides so much coastal flooding as the sea loads the rivers and they burst their banks.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2532566/Storm-Hercules-grip-Northeast-Canada-records-temperatures-cold-MARS.html


Thanks, Lamorna! I got cold just looking at some of those pictures!!
They're great.

[zeldabjr]

oh wow Lamorna those pics are amazing...and very scary...especially this one...

[Glennsallnighter]

I've been watching news reports of the weather here, in the UK and in the USA. Galway (on the West coast) was very badly flooded. Please take care everybody in this inclement weather. Remember your safety (and consequently your life) is most important.

[Brooke]

Blizzard conditions here this morning! Very fine snow blowing everywhere in 25-35 mph winds and we have gotten about 4 inches so far! I know that's nothing compared to what some places are getting though! Temp was 14 when I got up and has been dropping ever since. We are now at 11. Church canceled. I'm staying in! http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/freezing.gif

[sodascouts]

Everyone in these terrible conditions... I'm thinking of you! Hope you all stay safe and warm!

[Brooke]

Minus 13 here this morning, but the sun is shining! :yay:

[Grey Sadler]

Right now 5ºF with a wind chill of -13º...and dropping to a predicted low of -2º :-x
Hasn't been this cold in 20 years (when I was a wee undergrad)!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

well its cold outside.
\Hard to believe there was 10 inches on Friday
it rained so much over nite and got so warm this am its all gone but all the water is freezing cause we went from 55 to less than 30 tonigght

In the meantime, my son left fro Chicago yesterday am at 600am
they got 200 miles from Chicago last nite and had to get a hotel room due to whiteout conditions and a blizzard and road closers.
He just arrived in ranger indianna 150 miles from his apt and the main road they need to get into town is closed so they are bunking in for the night at a friend of a friend.
he said by the timethey unloaded, his beard was frozen .

[Brooke]

TT, glad they are stopping and safe from the awful weather.

We made it all the way up to 0 today! Most everything was shut down here today mostly because of the cold. Schools closed again tomorrow as it is to get down to -13 again tonight. (shiver!)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It's -3 here. I never blow dry my hair, so it was all frozen after walking less than fifty feet. Amazingly enough, I wasn't cold! Anyway, I can't wait to complain about how hot it is outside! 102 degrees and humidity means no static electricity and you don't get zapped every time you touch something.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

thanks brooke tough week weather is not helping

[ktdids]

Howling winds outside and its getting the temp down to -13! Yikes! Everyone make sure gloves, hats and scarves get some good use, and stay safe and warm out there!

[Brooke]

Great pics again, Lamorna!

We had -13 this morning, but it's already up to 4! Supposed to make it to 24 which will be great and every day a little warmer. :yay:

Hang in there everyone!

[zeldabjr]

blizzard warning in Buffalo from yesterday til tomorrow...what more can I say??? lol

[Grey Sadler]

Finally up to 28ºF--heat wave!! :thumbsup:

[EaglesKiwi]

Thoughts and prayers to all of you in northern hemisphere experiencing awful weather. Our news sites had pictures of Niagara Falls freezing. Stunning, but actually having to live and work in it surely would not be fun.

[bluefeather]

blizzard and strong winds here, yippii:sigh:

[Brooke]

Woo hoo, we made it up past freezing today! 37 with rain, thunder, and even a little lightning! Makes me think of spring till I look outside and see that there is still snow out there! :nope:

[Midnight_Flyer]

very cold here

[bluefeather]

the proper winter has finally come:yay:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

raining all day vey very very wet

how bout some sun and wind to dry out all the mud that's my front and back lawn:shrug:

[zeldabjr]

[Tiffanny Twisted]

the proper winter has finally come:yay:

[HenleyFan1971]

For Everyone coming the LA this week warm and sunny cold in the morning and late evening so bring light jacket going to the hotess week for this time of the year enjoy and safe travels to all

[bluefeather]

TT, I meant a winter with snow and below zero degrees celsius which is what it's supposed to be here in Finland

[Tiffanny Twisted]

TT, I meant a winter with snow and below zero degrees celsius which is what it's supposed to be here in Finland
thanks for clering that up for me>:headbang:

[Brooke]

56 here yesterday and sunshine! Felt like spring! Most of the snow has melted now! Still seeing a few piles around the edges though.

[bluefeather]

Nice wintery weather here, could be warmer though, -15 celsius or 5 Fahrenheits as you guys would say

[Houston Baby]

Bluefeather - what is the coldest that you have seen it be where you live?

[bluefeather]

about -8 Fahrenheit but that is rare here in Southern Finland whereas further up north where my mum is from it's quite common

[Midnight_Flyer]

wet and rainy

[Glennsallnighter]

Snap!

It's what we call 'a soft day'. The rain is soft, the sky is soft and even the concrete is soft. As in 'Squelchy'. My boots are soaked.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Cold and wi dy it was nice when we went to church but when wr came out it had dropped lie 30 degees. Cold

[TimothyBFan]

:cry: I'm just not going to talk about the weather. During the "Polar Vortex" blizzard we got 20 inches. Now starting early tomorrow, after the temps drop all day today, we're expecting 12-18 inches & said in the heaviest lake effect area, or as we call it, over our house :mad:, we could get over 2 feet. Ugh!! I'm so over this winter!!!! Our average for our area is 105 inches a year. As of last week, the local weather man said we were at 77 inches already. I'm doing the math & figuring we're in big trouble this year. Hopefully it'll all be melted by my birthday in July. Lol

[Brooke]

TBF, :shock: that's terrible! I can't even imagine! I won't complain about us here in ne Missouri getting maybe 4-6 inches at a time after that! So is everything pretty much shut down?

We have a chance of a little snow tonight and our temps will be falling down to 8 after a high today of 43. High of 17 tomorrow. It's a roller coaster for us this year, warm one day and bitter cold the next. More very cold than warm most of the time though. Crazy! :crazy:

[Elizasong]

NY area we are supposed to get about 8 -12 inches depending on the area of NY and then the temperatures area supposed to drop again. Can't wait for summer!

[Eaglesman99]

Hot and sunny here in LA...85F today :thumbsup:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

SNOW SNOW AND SNOW up to 16 inches:hand:

[TimothyBFan]

Right now it's sunny but only 7 degrees. I hear that the lake effect has moved onshore to the west here but they're saying it might not move much further in shore, depending on the winds. Fingers crossed we dodge the bullet this round.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

ok since I work in medical I had to go in .:nod:
yuck. it started around 1000am

we left the office at 12 15pm and it took me till 230pm to come home and I live a short 10 minute drive to the hospital but I travel through 3 counties,it was terrible.
At some points , we just sat and sat and sat for up to 15 minutes at a stretch. I had my ride drop me three to four blocks from home and walked the rest of the way since our streets were not salted or plowed. it took her almost an additional 3o minutes to get to her home and again our homes ,are 10 minutes apart:spin:

so Snow is for children...:blueblob:
now that I am in dry clothes and had some hot soup I need a nap.....:nod:

[Zanny Kingston]

Snow just started up here in the Boston area. We have a blizzard warning that goes into effect in a few hours. Just hope we don't lose the power! I am charging laptops, cell phones and have the heat in the house cranked up!

Stay safe and warm everyone!

[GlennLover]

There is a blizzard warning here with 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) of snow forecast. Kingston, this is the storm that is starting now in your area. It is moving up the coast & is expected to start here around midnight. I've lost track of how many storms we have had so far this winter. All I know is that it is far too many!

I hope everyone stays safe & no one loses power!

[Brooke]

I'm lucky. We just got a skift of snow, but it is very cold from that polar vortex-12 for a high today! Too darn cold!

Take care everyone!

[bluefeather]

3 F and maybe a half inch of snow here, cold but nicely white winter athmoshphere and getting over 8 hours of daylight at last:D

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Hot and sunny here in LA...85F today :thumbsup:

I have to wonder how they'll have an outdoor hockey game there on Saturday?

It's FREEZING here. My hair turned to ice again this morning, and it was 30 out. Lots of wind, though. Right now it's 15.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Snow just started up here in the Boston area. We have a blizzard warning that goes into effect in a few hours. Just hope we don't lose the power! I am charging laptops, cell phones and have the heat in the house cranked up!

Stay safe and warm everyone!

Might I make a suggestion??
For Christmas, I got this "charging wallet".
Its a leather wristlet and has a packet that holds a battery that when fully charged will charge my phone twice from dead.
We lose power around here a lot in all seasons so I keep that charged and I am ready to go. Once charged it holds it for a year.

When we had a family emergency I through it in my bag and out the door I went knowing I could charge twice.
pm me if you want purchase details.
I love mine and my hubby says if I use it once then it paid for itself.

still snowing here..just got a text we are starting late by two hours but I just don't know after that ride home today...
we should have been home,....

yep verna cant go out with wet head anymore in the am.lol
:D

[ktdids]

Snowing since 10 am, and it's still going steady, with at least 4-5 inches so far. At least there's no harsh winds to go with it, so it's not all that bad!

[sodascouts]

I feel guilty for being annoyed that I had to scrape ice off my car today! Obviously, there are a lot of folks who have it much worse.

[Houston Baby]

We had sleet & a little bit of snow last night & early this morning. It is clearing now but since it is still below freezing the roads & freeways are still icy. The schools are closed & the city of Houston is basically shut down. Even my boss called & told me to not come in until later.

[sodascouts]

I miss "ice days"!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Wnkother three inches coming tomorroe #$%$#snow

[Topkat]

Snowing again here now. They said 1 inch...no way, It's going to be a lot more. At least today was warm enough to actually walk around without freezing my ass off!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

This is a family message board, so I'm forbidden to post what I really think of this weather... :censored:

ETA: I just called my brother back in Somerset, today's his birthday, so when I asked what he was doing, I was expecting a good answer, like 'getting ready to go out for dinner'. Instead I got, "driving in a *bleep*ing blizzard. There are people in ditches everywhere and the guy in front of me just ran into a utility pole." Needless to say, we got off the phone quickly, since he was pulling over to make sure the guy was OK. I'm betting he'll spend his birthday night pulling people out of snowdrifts because that's the kind of guy he is. Is it any wonder I don't live there any more?

[Tiffanny Twisted]

been snowing on and off all day.
blanket on the couch time for me folks I have had enough of that four letter word

[Brooke]

VA, sounds like your brother is a nice guy. Good of him to help out when he can, even on his birthday!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

cold

[Brooke]

-4 degrees this morning and clear. No snow or ice though! Lots of people around here with frozen water pipes. Ugh! Not me though!

http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/freezing.gif

[bluefeather]

"only" about 15 F here, nicer than last week

[Molly]

-17 here this morning. A balmy -2 right now. -40 with the wind.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y137/mollycinder/28_3_71-1.gif (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/mollycinder/media/28_3_71-1.gif.html) This pretty much sums it up.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

We got snow sgain yuck

[bluefeather]

got colder again, really chilly wind too, ugh

[PJ]

Those with snow just be glad you don't live in the south. I've lived just outside of Atlanta most of my life and they still haven't figured out how to handle the white stuff. The only safe thing to do is don't leave your house. And never ever get on the highway.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well I know many of you have it a lot worse than some of us, but I'll vent anyway. Here in VA, we've had one of the coldest January's on record. And I'm pretty over it, even though I did have a very nice break with the 80° temperatures in L.A. I'm just sick of hearing about how it's colder here than it is in most of Alaska right now. Really? Um - there's a reason that I don't live in Alaska. :doh: Oh well - hopefully, things will warm up soon.

[sodascouts]

Those with snow just be glad you don't live in the south. I've lived just outside of Atlanta most of my life and they still haven't figured out how to handle the white stuff. The only safe thing to do is don't leave your house. And never ever get on the highway.

I heard about Atlanta's nightmarish highway issues this week. It was astonishing. Glad you weren't caught in that!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

well I am still wearing snow boots to work everyday lol
cant get out of the house without wearing them and the parking garage is such a mess part of it is blocked off cause the roof is open and all the snow is melting and refreezing and icing up on the other levels..jeeze its a mess...
I am so over this

[bluefeather]

I'm very used to snow and I'm enjoying the snowfall that's been going on since this morning:)

[Brooke]

bf, how do you do it? I just could not live where it snows and is bitter cold all the time. Missouri is bad enough and we are having the coldest January for a long time.

Snowing right now and 15 degrees. Brrrr! Wishing for spring.....

[bluefeather]

I've always accepted the natural conditions of my country, besides the long darkness is a worse thing than the cold and snow brings a little light to said darkness

[prayfordaylight]

Happy it rained today so I could get all the salt and crud off my car.

[ktdids]

Ohhh, more SNOW! 4-8 inches today, ALL DAY, and more to come in another few days! Damn those Groundhogs!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

well, I got up extra early after not sleeping anyway and was going to walk to the train since it was raining, JAHH said I will take you to work since its only raining...we picked up my practice manager and it started to sleet .
We were in work by 645am
Busy day lots of cancels and r/s. We got about 10 inches here.
The doc was nice enough to drive us gals home when he found we were walking to the train station. He dropped me a block from my house cause our township had not plowed and it wasn't pretty.
When I walked in from the street the snow was almost up to my knees.
(I am 5 feet tall)
so snow snow go away , I am so sick of you.

[Houston Baby]

I think I speak for most here.......Come on SPRING!!!!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Hey, eight weeks until the opening of baseball season, so spring's got to be on the way!

We had over 4" of snow after a long period of freezing rain. So this morning, the road crews scraped all the snow off so it was just a glistening sheet of ice. Nice. Thank God for four wheel drive! Tomorrow it's to be more rain, then tomorrow night and Wednesday it's back to freezing rain and sleet.

VA it's pitchers and catchers in a mere few weeks! Maybe by that time my Mets will have signed EVERY over 35 year old relief pitcher to try out in camp!

[bluefeather]

It's about at 32F here and just when we got a bit more snow it started melting an now it's very slippery and wet:scowl:

[Brooke]

It's been snowing all day here. I guess we've got about 6 inches so far. The boss said to go home whenever we wanted. Of course this always happens during my busiest time of the month and I have tons of work to do! I made it home about 45 minutes ago and it's nearly a white out! Thank goodness for 'all wheel drive'! I only live about 2 miles from my office, but it is down a gravel county road that hasn't seen traffic since I left this morning. I just aimed it between the side ditches and went for it! Woo hoo!

I'm ready for spring and baseball too!

[sodascouts]

I remember that road. It would be terrifying with a white out!

Thunderstorms here. Ugh.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Lots and lots of freezing rain here. We had the freezing rain and snow here Sunday night and where I work didn't do too bad of a job cleaning the sidewalks and parking lots. Last night, though, was fog. Made everything wet and it froze, and they didn't treat the parking lots. SHEET OF ICE! I didn't wear appropriate footwear and there was no way to walk on it. Someone ended up giving me a ride to the front door. Many people slipped and fell, it was a real mess. We're to get this all night, then snow tomorrow. What a mess.

[Houston Baby]

Gosh, everybody be careful in this frozen & white stuff!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Waiti g fir an ice and sniuw storm
So many patients canceledvfor tomorrow we did a later start.
I have day off csuse I have a dr appt might not get there due to weather coming this"
Way yuck

[Brooke]

We had 10-12 inches of snow here this morning and falling temperatures and wind. It was 18 earlier and is 10 now.

I'm actually mad at my husband. We were going to get to stay home but he hired a friend to come down our road and plow us out with his huge four wheel drive tractor! He plowed our whole mile of county road and then our drive way! No one else is out, but now I have to go to work! I have no excuse to stay home! :scowl: :steviesmack:

And the road will now drift back shut because of the winds today............

[Tiffanny Twisted]

we have no power.
all the snow and ice has limbs down everywhere and there is no power all the way up the pike in chester county and that includes us.
There are some major tree limbs down across the street and next door to us.
I thought getting trough jan was goinna be great now this feb is terrible

[Brooke]

TT, no power is awful! I hate that! Hope it comes back on soon for you!

I am back home. Ventured out to work, took the mail to the postoffice and came back because the roads are drifting terrible. I did NOT want to spend the night at my office!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

We had a few people with no power, but mine only went off and back on again. Roads were icy this morning, had a two hour delay, and once again, the parking lot was a sheet of ice. I wore the appropriate footwear today, my Timberland boots, so I spent a lot of time walking people in and out.

The freezing rain stopped around 10am this morning and it's been snow ever since. Yay.

[Houston Baby]

I hope everyone's power is on and stays on!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

No power we r one of 599,000 without it we made the national news
They think ee will not have power for st least a week and that means no heat
Yuck

[sodascouts]

Awful, TT! Can you stay with friends?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

A week! I'd go insane! I hope they miscalculated and you get it back tomorrow...

[Houston Baby]

TT, I hope you & JAHH are finding a warm place to spend the night. My thoughts are with y'all. And our news just said it was now @ 750,000 without power in PA. :hug:

[Brooke]

TT, that is awful! I hope you can get somewhere with heat for sure!

10 below zero this morning! Brrrrrrr!

[prayfordaylight]

I feel so bad for everyone in PA without power...so many people I know back home. Please be safe and find warm shelter if you can.

After losing power for a week after the Halloween 2011 blizzard a few years back, my dad got a generator and it has been worth every penny.

[sad-cafe]

We received 9 inches of snow and I have had 3 glorious snow days. Hoping for a 4th but I would be surprised.

This morning when I got up it was 0 with the wind chill making it feel like
-10

I love the snow days off like a mini vacation but I am so ready to warm up.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

OMG - It has definitely been a long, cold winter so far. I really feel for the Borderers here and others in PA. who are without power. Hopefully, you all have fireplaces, generators, or a backup place to stay. It is unbelievable that folks are expected to be without power for a week in these frigid temperatures. Please all of you, stay safe. :pray:

[sodascouts]

I live in the Phila suburbs and PECO thinks theyre doing fine getting the power back on by Sunday! We'll freeze before that since it's going down to 10 degrees tonite and pipes will freeze. What a nightmare.

Unbelievable! I hope you have a place to stay, too.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

We're .hanging in guys .
I went to work today hospital on generator our office was good
Recharged phone and pad
Work was busy no internet and I need it to do a big part of my job
So mmany reschedules and emergencys
The hardest thing is we have more snow coming on sunday and do t even know when they will get to us.
There r so many people without power and so many businesses closed
We r blessed we have good neighbors and we r all helping each other
But we think we will be last cause that pole that holds wires snapped in half nd had to be reset then restru g

It is what it is

As bad asthings r there is aleays someone in greater need than me so prayers for everyone

[Brooke]

TT, you have a great attitude about the whole situation! I don't think I could. Good for you and I hope the power comes back on sooner rather than later.

-10 again here! http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/freezing.gif

[Tiffanny Twisted]

thank you , you are too kind.
I have a great hubby and very nice neighbors on both sides of us.
Today I stopped and got hot pretzels after work for the boys next store while my neighbor brought me home dinner from wegmans..lol we exchanged goodies in the driveway.

then even though the issue with the pole and live wires is not resolved...the power came back on around8pm

:partytime:we have been out since 700am on Wednesday.
my son said they got three inches in Chicago and its coming our way tomorrow.....yuck yuck yuck:fear:

[ktdids]

Getting colder and there is more snow coming tomorrow night. Hope it misses everyone in Pennsylvania this time. Will it ever be spring again?!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Ee are getting more snow on tbursday a lot of it

[prayfordaylight]

I keep telling everyone in PA to send the snow down here to VA. We've barely gotten any and I'd love a few paid days off :)

That being said, I feel for you guys up north. Things have barely recovered from last week and now you're getting hammered again. It hasn't stopped since before Christmas it seems.

[Brooke]

-14 this morning and clear. Yesterday was a record low for the high temp. 8! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[sodascouts]

Just a dusting, but we got our first snow day of the semester! Yay!

[Brooke]

:yay: for you Soda!

[ktdids]

Snow, ice snow, snow, rain, snow, more snow. :brickwall:

[Brooke]

It got up to 40 here yesterday! There was actually melting! Now this morning it's snowing like crazy! It was nearly a white out coming in to work! Our weatherman didn't think it would amount to much.....2-3 inches and the roads were awful! :scowl:

I don't know about other areas, but our state road department has cut way back on keeping our highways and roads cleared. They used to be on top of it and were out before the bad stuff ever started. Now we are lucky if they make it down a state road once a day. They are concentrating on the major highways, so they say. Lots of cut backs. And I think the cut backs have been for the people that actually were out there doing the work and driving the trucks. The big wigs are still sitting in their offices.....planning.........:mad:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Two words ...

C'MON SPRING!!!

[Houston Baby]

Two words ...

C'MON SPRING!!!

I second that!!

[Midnight_Flyer]

hasn't been too bad today but wind was soo bad last night

[Elizasong]

More snow Monday night into Tuesday. I officially cry "UNCLE"!!

[sad-cafe]

45 felt like a heat wave today. Glad to see it, melting the snow but creating a muddy mess for my furbabies to track in mud. But I am thankful. the low this week is supposed to be 38. For a while the low was in the --- numbers! Spring is coming.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It went up to 41 yesterday and it's supposed to get warmer throughout the week, which gives me a huge sigh of relief. Except for late at night when the temp drops below freezing (if it does) my drive to VA should be snow-free!

[Brooke]

Ice storm here this morning! The highways pretty much cleared off yesterday with temps to 28, now this! Everything is covered and immobilized! Do NOT go outside! :roll:

[bluefeather]

Lovely sunshine here and a little bit of snow in the morning,there's hope for spring!:)

[sad-cafe]

today it got up to 71% I absolutely LOVED it. The sun felt so good after all this snow and 0 degree weather.

[sodascouts]

Thunder, lightning, and hard rain right now. There's a tornado watch but I'm not really that concerned about a tornado so much as losing power. The forecast says it'll lighten up by tomorrow, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

[DJ]

7 inches of snow and 6-10 more inches
predicted for tonight. UGH where is Spring!!

It's Cold And It's Getting Colder, It's Grey and White
And Winter's All Around. Oh I Must Be Getting Older Cuz
All This Snow Is Trying To Get Me Down........(John Denver)

:brickwall:

[Houston Baby]

Good grief DJ! Where do you live?

[bluefeather]

exceptionally warm here for the season here and days are getting longer and longer:)

[Brooke]

We are in for another cold spell from the wonderful (ugh) polar vortex. We got a light skift of snow overnight and will have a high of 25 today and then 4 tonight and in the low 20's the rest of the week. :thumbsdown:

[prayfordaylight]

Got a few inches of snow unexpectedly today. We were forecasted for a dusting but it snowed quite heavily for about 5 hours here. Thankfully the roads are too warm (it was 65 two days ago!) for it to mess up much.

[Brooklyn Roads]

Northern California: 52 degrees and cloudy; supposed to rain for a few days and we need it badly!

[prayfordaylight]

More snow today but this time it's actually sticking. They'll call delays for rain storms here and not when the roads are actually treacherous.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Its snowing AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:brickwall::brickwall:

[WalshFan88]

Below 0 here. I. Hate. This. Weather.

[DJ]

Houston Baby: I live in Montana, the snow has stopped today and sunny but by the weekend it's going below zero. The snow's not so bad but the ice underneath stinks......We normally have mild winters on the west side of the divide but not this year....:thumbsdown:

[ktdids]

Freezing here, temps in the teens, and there's a snow storm that will be coming in on Sunday, just as I get back from DC, suffering from Post Eagles Distress...

[Houston Baby]

Aw, Montana! ! I don't think I have ever known anyone from Montana. Cool!

[bluefeather]

almost 36 F here and the snow has practically vanished, that was it for this winter I guess, I'm kinda sad but also happy for the light and the warmth

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Pardon me if you have already answered this bf, but I'm very curious - how many hours of darkness do you all have in the winter each day?

[DJ]

It's about 20 here in MT and the wind is blowing 40-50 miles per hour.
We have a bonafied blizzard with a lot of school and business closures!
Usually we have mild winters on the west side of the rockies but I guess not this year. Brrrrr..... :thumbsdown:

[Brooke]

It actually broke 42 degrees here today! :yay: We haven't seen it this warm for many days! We have a warm day then several very cold days and nights.

But, winter storm predicted for Saturday night in to Sunday. Anywhere from 6-10 inches predicted for my area. Then it's headed east! Look out everyone! :brickwall:

What a winter! Coldest and most snow for us for many years! :thumbsdown:

[bluefeather]

during autumn and winter it goes from 12 hours of daylight in mid September to about 9 hours in mid October to a little over 5 hours on the winter solstice day(the shortest day of the year 21. or 22. of December) and then again a bit over 6 hours in mid January to 9 in mid February and about 10-10,5 hours now

[Brooklyn Roads]

It's thunder, lightening and hard rain right now at 10:30 pm PST. We need it so bad, so I am happy for it - I love the rain anyhow! :)

[Grego]

I just heard this on a local tv news channel. South Louisiana ( which is where I live) averages 13 days each winter where the temperature drops down below freezing.Thus far this winter there have been 26 days where the temperature has gone below 32! I live 20 miles from the Gulf Of Mexico! It is very rare for this area to see icicles hanging from roofs, tree branches, mailboxes etc. I have seen this 4 or 5 times since January.

[rick endres]

I've decided to give up SNOW for Lent... :???:

Today it's mid 40's - close to 60 by the weekend. The snow (which has been on the ground in Cincinnati since November) is gone except for the piles that were shoveled or plowed. It's the second worst winter ever; worst was 1977 - 78, when we had @ 75" of snow, temps were at -25 for a couple of weeks solid, and coyotes crossed the frozen solid Ohio River all up and down its length. We now have thriving communities of coyotes in the Tri-State area (Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana).

But no sand or cactus.

On the UP side...daffodils are up about 2 - 3" and the snowdrops (beautiful little white flowers that grow wild) are all over the front yard

[bluefeather]

We got some sunshine today and the winter is all but gone:-)

[zeldabjr]

sunny today about 30 degrees...feels good!

[Midnight_Flyer]

beautiful, sunny :)

[zeldabjr]

today 50 and sunny....but there is a winter storm warning for tomorrow into Thursday...

[Zanny Kingston]

The weather here was fabulous today- Sunny and in the high 50's- made me really feel that spring is finally on the way!

We are only supposed to get rain tomorrow- we are hoping that the snow storms are over for this winter!

[zeldabjr]

YAY...they've cancelled the winter storm warning!!....now it's a blizzard warning!!...Are you kidding me?...

[Brooke]

Oh geez, Z! Hang in there!

We had nearly 70 the last two days and last night the temps dropped to the 30s with thunder, lightening, and a bit of rain. Later in the night it snowed a couple inches and the wind is raging! Back to winter for a day! :crazy:

[bluefeather]

Our spring is beautiful but windy and it's a bit chilly, nice anyway

[ktdids]

Very nice yesterday in the 60's, today rainy but in the 50's, tonight into tomorrow.... freezing! Temperature has already bottomed out so far!
Spring, where are you?!

[WalshFan88]

Very warm here - but I'm in Florida. :D Will NOT be fun going back to Illinois!

[ktdids]

Spring will be here in about 36 hours!!

[Brooke]

I hope mother nature cooperates and gives us a warm day. The weatherpeople say 62 here for tomorrow. Bring it on! :yay:

37 and blustery here now. :scowl:

[Midnight_Flyer]

cloudy

[bluefeather]

about 32 and snowing here

[zeldabjr]

rained all day..and cold...then turned to snow...about 4" so far...geesh!!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Rain but no snow yesh I think

[Brooke]

69 yesterday! Loved it although it was a bit windy!

58 and rainy now. But anything above 32 is welcome around here!

[bluefeather]

37 and sunny/semi cloudy here:) plants are finally waking up from their winter hibernation:grin:

[Houston Baby]

The azaleas and bluebonnets are in total bloom down here! Spring is definitely here! :yay:

[Brooklyn Roads]

The azaleas and bluebonnets are in total bloom down here! Spring is definitely here! :yay:

I saw Texas Bluebonnets for the first time last year as we hit the tarmac at Houston Hobby airport. Was so glad I finally got to seem them!!

[Houston Baby]

Bluebonnet season is a BIG deal down here BR. I am happy that you saw some at Hobby airport as they have just started planting bluebonnets in Houston the last few years. Growing up we had to go outside of the city to see them. Now they are popping up everywhere in the city. I see lots on the way to downtown along Memorial Drive. They are beautiful! I just wish they would have a longer blooming period.

BTW Soda, did you know that some botanists at A&M have developed a maroon bluebonnet?

[sodascouts]

No, I didn't see that, but I'm not surprised, lol.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

yesterday was sunny but very very windy it never reached 65 and I think the wind made it feel cooler.
today is not susposta be as windy and be 60 and sunny fingers crosses

Houston, I hope to someday actually be outside to enjoy the Bluebonnets instead of viewing from an airplane window someday! Funny, I've been to Texas three times, but only for layovers, lol. Austin seemed really nice from the air as we made a stop there, too. I didn't realize Blue Bonnets weren't across the state until a few years ago. Glad I caught them at the right time :)

The weather here in California today is absolutely perfect and it's one of those days that you really wish you didn't have a desk job! I'd really love to be on my Grandma's ranch today and enjoying nature!

[Brooklyn Roads]

[bluefeather]

Raining here

[DJ]

Cloudy about 60 it's suppose to be 70 by wednesday I sure hope so cuz we need some SPRING

[WalshFan88]

Slowly starting to warm up. Thank god! And like clockwork, I'm starting to feel a bit better too. I don't handle winters well.

[zeldabjr]

Glad you're starting to feel better Austin!!!...right now...at 8:30 PM it's 67 degrees!!! WOW!!! Spring is here!!!

[sodascouts]

It started out chilly, but now it's gorgeous! A lovely Easter.

[bluefeather]

SO warm I can't believe it! still 50 F and it's almost 11.30 pm:yay::yay::yay:

[Brooke]

We had a beautiful weekend, 72 Saturday and 82 for Easter Sunday! We were all sitting outside at my snl's after dinner and it was actually too warm and there was not much shade because the trees haven't leafed out yet! Some actually got sunburned.

Loved it though! :thumbsup:

It's rainy today.

[Brooke]

Well, we had summer for a couple days, in the upper 80's and muggy. Thunder storms went through last night and it's now 52. Air conditioning on yesterday, off today! And highs around 60 all week with lows in the 40's. Love Missouri weather! :crazy:

[DJ]

Nice spring weather today and warmer the rest of the week! I've seen it snow on the 4th of July!

"Springtime in the rockies and it's 40 below"...........

[cricrichan]

Crazy weather here in Northern Italy lately ... we've just had several sunny days and very high temperatures, but today is very cold and cloudy and it's supposed to rain ... :confused:

[DJ]

High of 80 today FINALLY spring in the rocky mountains!!

[Victim of Love]

We've been in the high 80's and low 90's for several days now BUT they're now projecting a POLAR VORTEX is coming in from Canada. Seriously? In July? If we get another early blizzard I'm going to be really unhappy! Stay tuned...

[Brooke]

I heard about that too, VoL! A blizzard in Missouri in July? I don't think so! :hilarious:

We have enjoyed cooler than normal temperatures the last few days though. 82 right now. Usually it's 90 or above here in July. Plus we are having a rainy summer so far. Last year a drought. This year some rivers are flooding. Back to hot and humid again tomorrow.
