Big winter storm

[DavidMn]

Well all is well here in the chilly upper midwest. Snow has finally arrived, and in a VERY big way. Here in MInneapolis as I type it's blowing very hard outside and still coming down. We're expecting 12 inches give or take a couple by the time it ends here tomorrow afternoon. I'm a Minnesota boy so this time of the year I'm like freaking out if there's no snow on the ground! I only live 2.5 miles from work so it's no big deal for me getting to and from and I'm just going to hibernate over the next couple days. How is the storm affecting all my gellow ledgies wherever you are?

Hmmm well I can't comment on the winter storm! But in NZ its HOT, plus i was just in Sydney and that was even hotter! The Humidity kills me in NZ sometimes

I'm in Wisconsin and while there is a decent amount if snow out there it's not the blizzard everyone predicted. In fact, in the city, near the lake, it's rain.

I'm just extrememly bitter this morning because I was counting on a snow day. Or at least a delay. Heh.

we got a foot, everythings closed~ we have drifts nearly as high as our cars~ we are now having 40+ mile an hour winds to blow it all around~

never been so happy to wrk from home~ & no one can get out to come to my daycare, so i guess it's a snow day for me too~

Here in Massachusetts I woke up at 5:00AM and looked out the window. No new snow. Then I got up at 7:20AM and it is snowing and there is 3 inches on the ground.
It's almost 8:30AM now and it's still snowing. In the words of Stevie Nicks: I was not ready for the winter.

Then again, I never am.

Three days ago it was 25 degrees here and we had the earliest snowfall on record for the area. Yesterday it was 80 degrees and humid. Tonight it's going to be 35 degrees. I just keep a coat, a sweater, and shorts at the ready because I never know what the weather will be like from minute to minute.

You're in Massachusetts? How did I not know that?

We switched over from snow to freezing rain in Boston about an hour ago. Favorite

We got hit hard in Madison--I think it will be close to 18 inches by the time it's done. Here's a couple of pics

Monday we only got about an inch, but there was ice underneath and no salt trucks in sight. It was hell getting to work. We had real heavy snow this afternoon, but have only accumulated about an inch. The winds are 50 MPH, and tonights lows are going to be in the low teens. I'm not sure how much more we're supposed to get.

Heh... an inch of snow and Sara's on the phone with a friend talking about going sledding at the park. Good luck to her. haha! Guess I'll let her go and figure it out on her own.

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

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.
