There isn't any snow here yet. Just winds around 50 to 60 mph. I literally almost got blown over while walking to my car today.

Long hair + wind = frigging tangled mess

Wow. another Minneapolis Ledgie!

No snow here. And there's most likely nothing to come anytime soon. We usually have like 4 days of snow here each year

. I'd so love a white Christmast... Oh well. I guess I'm gonna move to the Arctic. Wait, no, the Antarctic! There are penguins

A big rain storm hit Los Angeles last Saturday. It rained all day...over two inches. Back to normal and 75 today.

I hate hate hate winter storms, especially when I have to travel. Last year was a f'ing nightmare. One year ago today, I was snowed-in in LAS VEGAS... 3.5 inches of snow at the airport.

Oh good grief, where was this?

I hope this isn't what we're supposed to get this weekend. It'll bury our little state!

I live in KY, and there has been cars flipping around here, and the roads are horrible. Other than that, I'm looking forward to just staying in for a few days, and having a good reason to call out of work

Yesterday, the daytime high was 40 degrees.... today, it was 75 when I got out of school. I'm missing the 4o; winter is supposed to be about big jackets and freezing all the time.

Yes, I'm from California and spoiled with this moderate weather-- but I wish I could have white Christmases.

Don't wish for the cold. It is 26F here right now and it's forecast to go down to 19 next week!

Yeah, Long Island's getting hit right now.
I just went Christmas shopping at the mall with my Dad
and we were driving down the highway in it -
everyone was driving nice and slow, thank God,
so it wasn't that bad at all. Happy that all the
Long Island drivers decided to be cautious and sane.
SO far the snow flakes seem kind of small - it's not really
the "large fluffy stuff" - - But there's not too much wind (yet?...)
so it's not that bad. I think maybe D.C. is supposed to get slammed
pretty hard, though.

There's a lot of cancelled and delayed flights, of course. On one of the most heavy travel weekends of the year. I feel bad for all the "kids" coming home from school and so on - - I have a sneaky feeling that there's a LOT of suitcases that are going to be getting some "extra work" as pillows in airports tonight....

I imagine others are gonna be jam-packed onto busses and so on and taking 12-hour bus trips instead of 3 hour flights - a lot of stuff like that is going to be going on, I bet.

Looks like the snow has caught a lot of people unaware......

slow down..........

I don't know what CNN is talking about. I'm in Western Massachusetts and so far no snow has fallen from the sky.
