Gee Juju, our ice has not melted! In fact there is a little more white on the tree limbs that are all encased in ice and my car has a solid sheet -car shaped of course. The grass blades are individually covered with ice and up close they look like groupings of coral! Thank God our trees never got heavy enough to bend!

My son's school has been closed all week and may not open tomorrow either. My cat goes out the door only to retreat back into the warm interior 10 seconds later. We are getting cabin fever.

ok, Ladytex, that explains why our Dallas facility shut down for bad weather!

It rained here in NoCal last night so all the "frozen" areas were mostly melted and gone when I came in this morning!

It poured last night in Northern California but it's beautiful today ... blue skies and white clouds, just like what Sea said. And today is the first time in a week that our bird bath didn't freeze.

Nothing falling from the sky for most of the day today and it looks like it's started to melt, but once the sun goes down it'll probably freeze up again, but as long as nothing new falls we should be okay tomorrow

Well, that article is about The Grapevile grade, and Antelope Valley and they do get snow. I've seen snow around the grapvine many times, but Malibu and West LA are entirely different places, at sea level.

South of Pyramid Lake, in the Santa Clarita area, drivers were contending with hail and slushy snow.

"It was just enough to stick, like flurries," said sheriff's Lt. Diane Walker of the Santa Clarita Station.


You're correct, I don't see anything about West LA.

My bils headed home on the grapevine now (saw pics on your link Vee, lol.) Sis is a bit miffed they worked the full shift before heading home.

We haven't seen a thing here, not rain, not snow, just cold weather and nasty clouds that have the very occassional break in them. My weather warning was updated though to say that the advisory has been extended and will remain in effect til later tonight.

Oh thanks, that reminds me....does Santa Clarita even get snow? I live right over the mountains and even though I believe they are higher up than us, I can't remember ever hearing they had snow! And LA, they've only had it what twice in the last 2 or 3 decades right? If they're talking bout the Antelope Valley getting snow it's most like Palmdale right at the base of the mountains. I don't think it snowed out by Mojave and Rosamond (the other way) because Darren's on his way home and didn't mention it.

Cool! Wish our ice storm had actually been a nice blanket of snow.

Juju2bigdog is not in Malibu!!!

Texannie, that stretch of I-10 closed last night. I would have thought it would have opened in the last 24 hours. Surely it has. That would be a LOT of traffic backed up.

32 degrees here and no precipitation. Hopefully it will warm up tomorrow and we can finally leave the house.

There was a double fatality ice-related accident yesterday on I-35 just a couple miles as the crow flies from where we are. I am glad we stayed home.

I love snow covered trees- very pretty picture! Well, minus the powerbox looking thing, but the tree is beautiful. It's snowing a little today. Supposed to maybe get a half inch and be 28°.

Vacation check- I'm leaving for my dad's in 9 days. Current weather forecast for Prescott, AZ:
Today: Mostly sunny. East winds up to 15 mph. Highs 44 to 50.

Not too bad. I can do 50°. Anyone (Treasure??) know if they have snow in Flagstaff this year, even up on the mountain?

Well, we ended up with about 1.5 inches of snow and some ice on the trees. Not bad. Unfortunately, its also colder than a well digger's a$$. LOL

Ice has turned white on top but is finally melting. Schools and other things have reopened. We will still have lower temps than Draheidville, but need a good thaw before Saturday. I haven't been out of the house for almost a week! Buddy the cat and I are getting itchy feet and cabin fever.

They reopened IH 10 from San Antonio to Junction. Pbbbtt It's still closed from Junction to El Paso.

34 degrees and ice melting here in Draheidville. I got all the ice chipped off the car this morning, and the roads are ice-free, so we can actually leave the property if we want to. BUT, I had to break down and wash my long johns this morning, so I am still waiting for them to get out of the dryer. LOL.

We got yesterday's and today's newspapers together this morning. I think I will try to drag Bigdog out for a walk in a little bit.

Wow about I-10 still being closed. For those who don't realize, I-10 is a MAJOR east-west corridor of commerce in the United States. It is far enough south that it almost never gets bad weather, so a lot of people use it when going east and west rather than chancing the more northern route of I-40 which could be closed by bad weather.

And wow about the Orcas Island picture. Orcas Island is up where I live when I am not fleeing where I live for better winter weather (and ice storms, snort). It is out there in Puget Sound, and the water all around moderates the temperature so they hardly ever get snow. You talk about a place that is not prepared for snow ...
