It's a rare day when a nor'easter passes us by in NE PA, but we ended up with just a couple of inches.

Marej it's only gotten colder instead of warmer. It's now -12 with a -37 wind chill, and suppose to continue to get colder. Dang why do we live in Minnesota. They were saying that up in Northern Minnesota they could easily get -60 wind chill or colder.

We had bizarre weather yesterday. Started out just cold, got freezing rain after getting to school -- state police actually came through and said "Send them home NOW!" While scraping cars, we had thunder snow (complete w/lightning), then hail/snow pellets and by 1:30 PM it was snowing like crazy. An hour south of us they had 60 degree weather with tornado warnigns and an hour east of us they got a ton of ice! We did get more ice last night -- so no school today. WOOHOO! The temps are going to bottom out here in the next day or two (all that cold air coming from Jagger's neck of the woods), so maybe we'll get more "normal" Michigan winter weather (cold and snow, snow and cold).

Our weather has weirded out.. last week it was warm, then on Tuesday this week it was very warm at lunch time.. by 3:30 we had cold wind. The winds have kept up with intermittent sun and some rather impressive cloud formations. Tonight I was here inside and suddenly realized it was RAINING. Now, actually, this IS supposed to be our rainy season, but it was quite a surprise.

So Cal desert here and we're expecting snow overnight! The desert! (Hehe, I've been posting my disgust over this since yesterday all over the board.) Up until this afternoon I thought they were just talking like always and we'd end up with nothing. It even warmed up to the 50's by 9am this morning, but by 3 it was cold, windy, and raining. By 5 the temp was down to 41. And same thing here, last week, even early this week, it was warm enough to open up the doors and windows for fresh air and warm enough for the kids to play outside without jackets until dinnertime!

Still cold around here, -13 below at the moment with a wind chill of about -30 below which seems to be gusting to about -50 below at times. Man the next gas bill is going to really suck, I turned the heat up to 68 degrees to keep the pipes from freezing. Teach I didn't mean to send you this cold weather, but maybe you could send me some of the snow. Southern part of the state got a bunch of snow the other day, I didn't get any. Nothing worse than freezing cold weather and no snow. I'm wondering what this cold will do to my bulbs in my flower gardens, they have absolutly no snow covering on them.

Yup I saw that Sea (about the Grapevine.) Also saw on the news they're expecting snow for us tonight/tomorrow morning, not last night/this morning. Bigger part (or a new bigger storm?) is coming in later today. Kinda worrying me too, cuz at not quite 8am its really not that cold outside right now. Harvey's playing out back like its no big deal, lol. But this is how it was yesterday, got warmer before the temps dropped and the nasty weather came in! I'm still hoping the snow won't hit us at all. -13???? Wind chill at -30 and down to -50??? I'd never leave the house, lol! Seriously, how do you get anything done when it's that cold? Do schools close and jobs shut down for it?

You want to talk weird? January was like Springtime here, many days in the 50s and 60s, last week we had the biggest snow ever in NYC, well the past 3 days were in the 50s and 60s, there is thankfully no snow on the ground, and today is 30, going down to 12 tonight. Very very weird.

Two days ago we had snow in the morning, and then a thunder and lightening storm all afternoon. Today when I woke up it was 1°F. Right now it's 5°F.

I just watched a bit of the WeatherChannel and they were saying that snow is a possibility at the 1500' level east of the San Francisco area. Brrrr! I'm near the coast in SoCal and it's very cold and soggy outside this morning. During the night I was awaken by heavy downpours off and on. It's suppose to only get up to low 50's today which is considered "winter" to me. I just can't imagine what -13 and wind chill factors of -30 downward would feel like...brrrr! Keep warm Jagger. Just saw Lori's post after posting....you keep warm too Lori...brrrr, it makes me shiver just thinking about it.

You guys did have it weird Ginger, the amount of snow NYC got was amazing! Our winters are always a little odd, going from cold to hot and back again with no in between, but the snow is different. We usually get that once every 6-7 years or so. And we had that last year (enough to coat the grand before it turned to rain and ended up a dirty slush, lol!) The last I heard (at 11:30 last night) the snow level is supposed to drop to 2000 ft and we're several hundred above that. If we get a decent amount of snow, you can bet some news person from L.A. will be standing on the side of the 14 freeway overlooking a huge empty expanse of desert with one little joshua tree covered in snow, lol.

War -- we don't shut things down because of cold, nor does Jagger's state I suspect. You just wear layers of clothes, grab the skis, sleds or snowshoes and head for the great outdoors! LOL Lori -- what part of MI are you in? We had the thunder snow, but it was followed w/ more snow rather than rain or ice. You must be south of us (I'm Ludington area sorta'). Jagger --We got another 1-3 inches today, so I'll see about mailing you some snow. Sound good??? ***ducking and running**** It's down in the negative windchills here, too. Wavering between -13 and -15, but actual air temp is still slightly above zero (2). (we need a snowflake icon here!)

I remember those layers of clothes when we lived in Conneticut. Mom would get us all bundled in our regular clothes, sweater, jacket, snowsuit, gloves, hat and scarf. It was usually around the scarf part when one of us would say, "I have to go potty!" LOL. I hope ya'll are staying as warm as you can and not having to go out too much! I've been freezing my butt off and we haven't hit below 29 yet this winter.

Wow, snow in Berkeley yesterday? Juju are you vacationing in the SF area by any chance?? Mt. Diablo is part of my early childhood. It was so close, I felt as if I kept walking past the corner of our street where I waited for the school bus, I could actually touch it...lol. I was able to view it with all the foothills leading up to it back then. Now those foothills are solidly filled with communities.
