I drove back home to the Twin Cities from Iowa visiting family throughout the snowstorm. That was not fun. Slippery conditions from time to time, passing vehicles kicking up wall of snow making me snowblind. Still made it home okay, but was surprised to hear that the Cities were getting hit when it wasn't supposed to go north of Albert Lea!! So I missed a bit of "24" but happy to be alive...

I only hope the fellow that struck into the support of an overpass just south of the Iowa/Minnesota border is okay, too. Sheared off the whole front end of the car and the emergency staff on the scene had already cut the door off so I was able to see inside briefly (had to concentrate on my own driving even if I was going 15 mph). My thoughts go out to that person and his or her family. It didn't look too good, but I hope their guardian angel was looking out for them.

The road crews have failed to put a plow to any of the streets here all ******* weekend, so it took me a half hour to go ten miles from my folk's house to my place tonight. I thought for sure I was going to end up in a ditch, but thankfully, it didn't happen.

I doubt I'll be going to work tomorrow, since it's just terrible out there, and my work is in the worst possible place to be in a snowstorm.

We finally get some snow (4" maybe) and my 9 year old is in a cast (torn tendon in her foot). I am going to be hearing some serious griping about life being unfair when I get home from work  ;)

-1°C right now, what a change in temp. Roads are slushy, mucky, filthy blah. Need lots of windshield fluid today.

That won't hit us.  We're supposed to warm up to about -6 C on Thursday, then back down to -24 on Friday ::)  Windchill warning overnight and tomorrow: -44 C  :D

1°C right now, break out that BBQ!  :P

Very warm on the way to work, same temp & holding all day. Windshield fluid is a big seller. Staying just below or above zero for the rest of the week, I'll take it.  :)

Iced over here in Central Texas. Sleet and ice are everywhere. It even snowed for about 30-45 minutes this morning. We've been between 28-30 degrees C since Sunday night. Since anything under 70 degrees is considered cold here, town has basically shut down. No school today, and a very high chance that there won't be any tomorrow either!

You know, I find myself saying this each and every year, but your wintery weather is more than welcomed here.

We ran the chance of having an ice storm in Northwestern SC today, however the artic high pressure system in New England failed to dam any of the truely cold air far south enough for us to get anything other than cold rain. Ah well, I suppose our light icing from last Thursday will have to suffice for now. At least that caused school to have a 2 hour delay.

Current conditions, as reported by the GSP WFO: 39°F (4°C), Light Rain with winds from the NE at 9 MPH.
