Arctic Blitz 2007/Ice Storm/whatever it's called in your area ??

It's about 20-something outside, but the wind is blowing between 20-40 MPH out of the North bringint the Artic air with it, so the windchill is much colder.

This morning it was gusting between 40-60MPH and it rained through the night, surprised it didnt snow (But it will on Valentine's Day).

I dont complain about the cold weather, cause I know summer is around the corner and then it will be in 100-110's daily - And I will complain! (Dont think I can take another summer of 40+day of temps over 100.)

60's and partly cloudy here. You guys in the snow and rain will get your revenge when it hits the 120's here this summer.

We got hit overnight, still going strong. I'd say we got around 8-10 inches total so far. That's not really unusual here - but it's really cold & windy, worse than usual. I think today it's about 15 degrees with a wind chill below 0.

I just can't keep warm, even inside. Last night while I was up watching TV I had on flanel PJ's, a big fleece robe/pouch-thingy and a wool blanket. Of course,my husband has on pajama pants & a Tshirt.

My property's perimeter is lined with pine trees. I've got broken limbs everywhere. My driveway is blocked with iced limbs(still attached to the trees). We pulled the limbs out of the way, and got my truck to the end of the 300' driveway, so I'll be parking by the road, and walking in, until it melts enuf for the limbs to lift themselves.

I FUKCING HATE WINTER.

I was wondering how you were doing down there. I see you have power, though, so that's positive! Stay safe!

We have about 3-4 inches of snow with rain coming down on top of that. This will likely ice over later, plus get snow on top of that ice, making for some insane road conditions.

It's snowing outside, while the sun is coming through...Maybe that wasnt snow but fallout from Iraq possibly???
