We sure got some! Probably 5" now and still coming. Supposed to get another 5-8" today

Just record breaking cold up here in MI. Yesterday morning, I asked my furnace to raise the temperature over a 100 degrees above the wind chill outside. No snow, though, so I don't have to go out and work in these temps.

I was actually looking forward to the first measurable snow since I have been down here. And much prefer snow over ice any day. -

Isn't that a weird thought? Wind chill of -36 last night, my thermostat at 72.... 108 degree difference. That's messed up.SleevePlz:Just record breaking cold up here in MI.

and i thought it was bad here....but the windchill was **only** in the -20 range.SleevePlz:Just record breaking cold up here in MI.

“Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms.”
..... IPCC 2001 Third Assessment Report.
In the 30+ years I have been in Delaware, this is the first time I can recall temps below 5 degrees. Twas 1* this morning, and 8" snow is predicted tonight. Once the temps drop into the singles, I'm rolling the dice whether my motorcycle will start after parking in front of the office all day. Oil gets thick, battery gets weak. The KLR has an automagic compression release that makes super cold starts more likely. But at 2*, I'm not optimistic.
Talked to a guy in North Carolina today. Told me his shop was unheated, and temps in the 20s; wearing all the layers he could, but his toes were hurting. Just got off the phone with a gal from the northeast part of that state, where it hit 18* last night. Reading about record snowfall in Lhasa. Snow killing animals in Spain. A fishing vessel trapped in ice near Antarctica.

Well, we got that! Snow over ice. I'm just a little north of you, get any of the snow yet? or just ice...?jd50ae:Gray4lines:We sure got some! Probably 5" now and still coming. Supposed to get another 5-8" today

Another day in paradise here, don't worry jd the birds are taken care of.
The back door to the deck is open, was buried to the roof. Little damage not too bad.

Everything stopped and the we got about 3 minutes of snow. Otherwise just ice. -
We are supposed to get 10 inches tonight. Snowing hard right now. It is also going to zero next couple of nights. My woodpile is disappearing.The ski people are happy. My humidor temp in my studio is in the high 40's. Extra suet, corn and sunflower seeds are out. Saw a couple of Robins last week, hope they make it.

If it makes you feel better, it's only 76 today and Frankie has diarrhea.jgibv:

Part of me misses it, but only a little bit, its gotta be hell to work and commute in -
No hell in the least. That's ridic. Of all the things people like to exaggerate, snow has gotta be right up there near the top. The worst that can happen, you get to stay home and snuggle by the fire, and say: "I couldn't dig out, boss." This morning was just like a picture postcard:
Light, fluffy, 5", A nice workout shovelling the drive. Then a slow relaxed drive to work. Tires crunching, flakes floating. You got to like weather. The breath of the universe.
Worst thing that happened, yoga got cancelled. The instructor advised snowga instead:
There's only two of us who appreciate weather for the great thing it is: Me and Jim Cantore. Well, us, and all the children home from school today, making snowmen and looking for a slope to slide down. Soon enough, we'll all be in a hermetically sealed box where there is no weather. Enjoy it while you can.
-
I like the weather, too webmost. It's idiots who can't handle it that bug me. All the schools around here are cancelled, but the roads look better than they do after a good plowing and salting up North. Bad thing is my job cancels when the schools do, and so I don't get paid.
I saw a report that part of the obesity epidemic is because we don't allow ourselves to get cold enough to force our bodies to use energy just to stay warm. -
This thread makes me miss North Dakota,LOL

Here's all the fun we're having here in Massachusetts, after four straight weeks of foot-or-more storms, including 19" last weekend. I had to venture into the backyard to snow-rake three feet of snow off the roof and the untrodden snow I was trodding through was literally up to my collarbone. I'm about 5'9". The snowdrifts around the walkways are about 12 feet high. We're thinking about offering lift tickets.

holy icicles raisin!!!
i know you guys have had a particularly brutal winter/snow this year but you best check those gutters as soon as the temps warm up ... and check that attic insulation too, could be getting ice dams. -

Oh, believe me, we have Hoover-sized ice dams, as does everyone else up here. We've had one intermittent inside leak so far, and people tell us we're lucky--all the local Home Depots have run out of pails.
