Supergranny, we've been having two days of severe weather warnings for high winds and the first cold front storm of the season. Even talk of snow in the mountains around us, though the snow levels would have to drop a whole lot for us to get any of that. All weeks supposed to be cold, windy and maybe rainy.

Chiliwilli said: Saturday, -30 Sunday, -20 Chili, HOW do you manage to survive in that? I'm here, complaining about +plus+ 34 degrees, wearing 3 layers of clothes and my hat with heaters chugging away. Do you have to drive out to work and school in that kind of weather? I would be a freaking popsicle!

Hey, OG! My niece is just across the river from you in Vancouver. It's still sticking here, so it may not slide your way! I was raised a Desert Rat in Phx, & just don't do snow well. 1" in our town and the whole place just shuts down, so I have plenty of company. Keepin' my fingers crossed for ya!

Biscottiii, this is not cold yet. The first time it hits -20 it feels cold because there is still some humidity and it's a little bit of a shock. But when it hits -20 after being -50 it truly is like a heat wave. The difference in your 32 and our -20 is humidity. The humidity makes you feel the cold more, I think. There is normally very little humidity here in the winter so the dryness helps. I know it's hard to understand unless you've been there. Our school kids are required to have outside recess to -20 and we never have snow days.

Thank you, Rosie. Biscotti, my house is 90 miles north of you up I-5 where it is really snowing, and I just got in this e-mail report from the neighbor: quote:OVER 14 INCHES SINCE 7 AM THIS MORNING! HEADING FOR A RECORD 24 HOUR SNOWFALL. AND ITS STILL COMING!
I would sort of like to be there to see it, but overall, I am really glad I am basking in 80 degree heat somewhere in Draheid, Tx. Of course, we might have a freak snowstorm here in Texas later this week when the temperature abruptly changes ...

60s in Rochester and we're supposed to get a couple more days of mild weather and then probably SNOW by the end of the week. We were 3 or 4 degrees short of hitting the record for the day.

What did I tell you about this town shutting down during snow? hmm? Knew it would get cold...but I am SO GRATEFUL that I sprung up the courage yesterday to do-the-ol'-scissors to cut out my new bathrm carpet/rug. (Bought it about a month ago but too nervous to do the old chopjob.) Otherwise I would likely have FROZEN my little popsicle-butt tonite. No joke! I was amazed how much warmer my upstairs was after I did that last night. And it stayed bare-ably warm tonite! About 7:15pm the relays started bumping, you know the lights flickering & trying so hard to keep the lights a-going. (Relays are like the BigDaddyCircuitBreakerBox of the utility system.) Then BOOM. Yeah, lites out for over 2 hrs. Probably a car/pole accident or broken down tree. I'm on the same Feeder as the utility company's service center (I can look across the park to see if they've got lights, & they were in the Dark Like Me) so I know I get the fastest service ever. So hard to look out over my alley in the back (yeah, They are on a different feeder) to see their lights. AND KNOWING - - THEY ARE WATCHING THE AMAZING RACE while I can't. Sob. Sitting in the dark, talking on my only landline phone to my Sis in Phx (dang, I was BORED! just sitting here in the dark) I learned that one Sis taped the show and they will mail to me. My place is just now starting to feel warm. Bisc, Popsicled in Seattle P.S. - JuJuBDg watch out for all them thar hurricanes okay? Don't get your flipflops spring a leak or your tootsies get sunburned, okay? We miss you here in the Happy-2-Tax State doncha know?

It has been really weird here at the beach. Got up this morning and the deck is covered with hail. Then it snowed and now the sun is out. We tell everyone that we get sunshine everyday...it may last only 5 minutes but the sun does come out. Then we look out at the ocean and see the next storm come rolling in!

Juju said,"Of course, we might have a freak snowstorm here in Texas later this week when the temperature abruptly changes ..." Ahem! So you've arrived? The weatherman reported there may be snow heading this way. Friday's forcast shows low of 31º with a 10% chance of precipitation -> snow. Enjoy the 80's while you can!

Uh, Gracie? Yes, we arrived Saturday. You might want to put that snow shovel where you can find it.

Juju, I hear ya. I was walking around NYC yesterday without a coat, and sat on my parent's porch in Maryland this afternoon barefoot. I find it hard to believe it's snowing at home -- though the Seahawks game is on and I can see the snow. I fly back on Weds - wonder if the snow will be gone... (?)

Calgary is stuck in a mini deep freeze. Snow, -30C with a windchill of -41C. Five days of this is about all I can handle right now. Too goshdarn cold to be standing around at the bus stop. If I didn't have to go to work I'd stay tucked in snuggly in bed until it passed

Hi Lyn, my son is in Calgary, he told me about the weather last night. Here on the eastcoast, way up north in Canada, we haven't had any snow yet, the weather is unbelieveably nice.

Yankee -- they're forecasting another 10-12 cm tonight. You should be able to play in the snow when you get home...
