That snow is really pretty, but we dodged it this time. We had 50 mph winds (lots of downed limbs to clean up again) and some flurries, and is it ever cold! It was so windy, there were white caps on our little reservoir. Wind chills down around zero. Don't know where this arctic blast came from but the arctic is welcome to have it back. I'd say we weren't ready for this kind of cold, but then we never really are.

Buffalo is shut down. Everything is closed due to the huge storm that's been happening since yesterday morning. So hubby has the day off. There's lots of that white stuff outside.

All of Genesee County is shut down too, Twinkie! There isn't much snow at all, but I suppose it's because of the high winds. Hey, we're New Yorker's, this doesn't bother us at all! Enjoy the day with your hubby!

We ended up with thunder storms and a tornado about 40 miles south yesterday afternoon. Within a few miles of my FIL. Didn't get nearly the snow called for, but could still have 2 feet by tomorrow.

I'm waiting for the temp to climb above 0 before going out to shovel the snow that drifted back onto my sidewalks after I shoveled yesterday. We got 10 inches of snow overnight Wednesday and during the morning yesterday here in Minnesota, and it's COLD! That first cold snap always feels the bitterest.

Most folks in the Spokane Washington area are hoping for snow. We've had a cold spell and have seen temps drop down to zero at night with highs in the mid teens. Gusts of wind up to 35MPH, BRRRRRRR We'ld love it to warm up enough to snow. Next week we might be up to 32 degrees.

Another snow day here - much worse today than yesterday because of lake effect snow (we're 10 miles from Lake Michigan). The west wind kicked in and has dumped a bunch of snow here. Temps are plummeting (I think a high of 15 today - but wind chill is below zero). If it keeps up, we may not have school tomorrow either as they have not sent a plow down any of the back (i.e. dirt) roads in the past 48 hours! We're a rural school with over 200 miles of back roads, so unless the road commission kicks it into gear right quick, this might be a REALLY long weekend!

Portland area: Sunny, cold with a high of 26 degrees. The low last night was between 15 - 20 degrees depending on where you were. I'm ready for a normal winter: 50 degrees and rain...

Oh my goodness, it just started pouring rain. Was clear just a bit ago when I let the dogs out but now it's coming down hard. Today was the first day all week it got over 40 degrees. It's been bitterly cold here.

Someone explain to me, please, why on earth it gets warm when it rains. Today it hit 50 here but once the sun went down it was around the low to mid 40's and cold. Started raining and now I'm sitting here just sweating. I had to crack open the back door a while ago...and usually I'm freezing my butt off!

War...it's because the humidity gets higher and when it gets humid, the heat can't be carried away from the body as easily. It's raining here, too.

Thanks. I don't deal well with humidity...too used to the dry heat around here. It rained hard and steady for about 2- 2.5 hours, little while ago it slowed down quite a bit til it was just a light sprinkle. Sounds like it's picking up some again though. I'm of two minds about this...we need the rain so badly, but so much of So Cal is burn areas (as you well know, Bee,) and has to worry about mudslides with it. Good we're getting it, but scary too.

It's been hovering right around 0 degrees here for the past two days (is 0 currently), but we're in for a warm-up tomorrow into the high 20's, just in time for our trip to cut down a Christmas tree.

It's 17 here, feels like 4 and we're on another snow day because of the blowing snow last night and the plugged roads.

46 and overcast down in New Orleans. With the wind chill is in the mid 30's. Expecting rain this afternoon through tomorrow. It's going to be a good night to snuggle on the couch with a 25 lb. cat and a cup of hot chocky.
