Yep - The minute I listened to the weather, I knew you were getting slammed, Huk. :-( It's bad enough that we're getting so much snow, but this cold and wind is making it unbearable. Stay warm!!

Comparing now to the pics above I posted, it looks like we hardly had any snow then!

I really can't say too much about snow, but wind always makes the weather, cold, hot, icy, snow, wet, whatever, so much worse. Hot and cold aren't really too bad on their own but get those high winds behind it and it's just slamming those temps into you.

I hope ya'll get a break in the snow and a chance to dig out some!

Was checking out the weather report and see we're expecting rain Monday and Tuesday and could have snow Wednesday and Thursday. I'm thinking snows not too likely, last I heard snow levels would be around 5,000 and that's way too high for us to get any.

I just woke up about a cup of coffee ago...good grief, we are completely socked in. Between new snowfall of who knows how much, the winds blowing the snow from the lawns back into the driveways, and the plows burying ends of the driveways, we are in some trouble here!

Unfortunately, my snowblower requires a gas/oil mix and I have only enough mix left for maybe 2 tank refills of the snowblower after all the use during this lovely storm. I do have another gallon of gas, but I'll have to trek out into the tundra later today to get more of the special oil. Wow, this is a pretty unprecedented type of weather pattern for this early in the season.

The local news just now said that we broke the one day snowfall record that was set back in 1914. Lovely, and now a travel ban. I'll just have to pretend I didn't hear about that and hope the store is open that carries the oil!

ETA: Watching2, we got 7" more than Buffalo, those babies, hee hee!

Not much snow, but the wind started blowing something fierce last night and blows right through the apt. Might as well be sleeping on tundra.

Just a little bit of drifting, wouldn't you say? This is the neighbor's garage, since it gives more perspective to the height of the drifts.

The angle is all crooked because I just stuck my camera out the back door, as I can't get onto my back steps. They're under that mound towards the front of the picture...



Oh, and now we have orange water coming through our faucets and toilets. I'm guessing a water main break, as our neighbors have the same issue. I'm grateful it's not just OUR water that's doing that!

The mound on the left is my Mom's vehicle, and mine is the lump on the right. Oh boy.

And all that white crap all over the place? It's why I refuse to travel this time of year. Even down here, where whether rarely affects OUR flights, all YOUR crummy weather has dozens of flights cancelled! :-)

(I do feel sorry for people trying to get home in time for the holidays, tho.)

North Texas today and it is 27 degrees. At least it looks cold today. Yesterday was about the same, but when I looked outside I thought it would be gorgeous. Sent me right back inside to bundle.

No snow, but after a very cold and rainy weekend for us here in Northern California, we have sunshine!! They say more rain later today, which is fine, just like a little sunshine in between.

So, like you northern California folks. Ya couldn't have kept this stuff up there? Or sent it due east, rather than south? It's now drizzly and cold and yuck!

17F, winds making it -5, schools are closed. We don't have it as bad as Huk but because we're down by the lake, we have it worse than areas south of us. We also had a record snowfall yesterday. The NYS Thruway was closed between Buffalo and Rochester (130 mi.) for six hours (Huk is inbetween, closer to Buffalo) and there were cars, trucks, etc., stuck there. I bet those who were close to a rest stop sure were happy. I would have gone nuts having to be in my car that long - no bathroom, freezing cold, blowing snow... what a nightmare.

ETA - I think Buffalo was up to something years ago, Huk. They stopped winning the snow award and either we or esp. Syracuse started winning it. I think they did something to send it to us! LOL

4 degrees, wind chill -6 and sunny right now. The temp is supposed to go up a little finally very late tonight. Then the snow is supposed to roll in. They are predicting 3-5 inches for tomorrow.
