Who else is buried in snow today?

We had our cold snap a few weeks ago, and never did get our January thaw, but I think our weather is better than most of the country...other than Fl.

We didn't get ice. We didn't have heavy snowfall, several little ones, no big ones.

We lost power so we no longer have heat or hot water not sure when it is coming back heard it might be 8 more hours

Snow and Ice! A lovely way to spend a day, I remember those days well...I feel for all of you who find yourself cold, without power, and shovelling....having done my fair share in those days past....I cannot report our weather here, as I feel too much sympathy for your experiences....all I will say is that it is sunny. Stay warm, get the hot chocolate or rum toddies going, and this too shall pass!

No snow, but it's been really cold here. It's 65 right now at 6 am.

Yeah, brrrrrr!

It was 78 here yesterday and had a cold front come through today. High is about 45 but sunny, sunny, sunny.

We had 4-5" snow, then sleet and freezing rain turning to plain rain. It's hovering at the freezing mark and has gotten very windy. I'm sure everything will freeze overnight making for roads of ice tomorrow. Can't wait until I can retire and move to Sun City.

Not sure but there is now flooding every where for that rain.

Going westbound on 287 this morning we witnessed 2 spin outs and automobile meets concrete barrier crackups. Right before my eyes and both within 5 minutes of each other.

All because each one of these morons just had to pass us on the left. For some strange reason these morons just knew we were going tooooo slow in 3" of ice and slush. 25 mph was just not fast enough!!!!!

Well at 35 mph Newtons law says rubber does not make contact with road when there is 3" of ice and slush on road. Newton has you loosing traction and all use of normal steering. Back end of car is where front was 2 seconds ago and you loose all control of car.

Does not matter that you have a $75,000 dollar Mercedes 4 door sedan with the best anti-lock, traction control, electronic warning stuff. You will spin and hit concrete.

Then comes the 4 wheel drive I am better than you driving machine. I must pass you now. Oops I am not in control anymore now that I beat you. Crack, smashed, front end. then bang rear end really bad.....

I just had to smile and wave as I passed in the comfort of my van. Not to worry.... Morons did not get hurt. Maybe their ego.

We too missed the annual January thaw. Only 1 day in January when it hit 32. I guess that's why I am in Puerto Vallarta now.

Tell me more ... pleeease

I love the descriptions of icicles, sleet, freezing rain, heck even slush sounds good

We are in the middle of a heat wave - 6 days of over 104 degrees. The hottest place was 118F. Electricity was cut to hundreds of thousands of homes because the system couldn't cope, train lines buckled in the heat, trams broke down, even possums are falling out of the trees with heat exhaustion. A radio station experimented with the best place to fry an egg - the footpath, the road or the top of a car
