Got an inch on the ground here right now,but another storm coming through tonight with accumultaions of up to 10" ,UNLESS we get thunder snow,then they said accumulations would be huge,there are supposed to be periods of sleet,with up to 2" of ice down in amongst all the snow.....
Good old thunder snow. I grew up just off the Great Lakes, Upstate NY. Only saw it a couple times, but as you say was awesome. We in NJ are bracing for a winter assault of a trace to 2 inches!!!! Better run out to get bread, bacon, eggs, milk, don't remember why, but seems the thing to do :)

On my way out the door now to get the milk,some coffee,and lunchmeat in case the power goes out,maybe some munchies too:D
91g,, my daughter manages a bakery at one of the large supermarkets, she says the stuff is flying off the shelves. Mmmm,, maybe we could be snowed in for as much as 15 to 20 minutes if it gets real bad. Hey Nell! How about a gallon of milk since you are going anyways :)
Mid to upper seventies here - cooling down for the weekend.
Not as cold as our brothers up north get but still cold enough to put a cool breeze up your shorts.

For folks not used to the snow I guess stocking up on milk and bread is normal. Especially since they don't have the snow equipment. I travel to my companies plants in the south, and am always amazed how 1/4" of snow can shut things down.
Now an ice storm, that is a different story, those can knock our power for days and very dangerous to drive on.
I hope you all stay safe.
For all of you that are thinking of warm thoughts.....

-28C here (-18F) not so bad. I'll post if it gets cold. Clear skies, so it probably will:(
Thermometer said minus 20, yesterday morning - and today. Today was livable. Strong winds yesterday morning had wind chill down to minus 50.
Warmed up to -15C (5F) and it's been snowing hard all day. Somewhere out there on the lakes is my Sweetie, snowshoeing the 40kms back home after his 3 months away. Guess he's making good use of the GPS and compass today, visibility is just a few hundred yards. He should be here some time tomorrow.
Tell him howdy from all of us.....well, after you're done saying howdy of course.;)Quote:

If you guys and gals keep talking about the cold and snow, I'm gonna have to go put on long pants.
Crash,please reread post #11:D:p
:eek:LMAO!!!:D:D
Ok --- I'll stop.:DQuote:

The snow is still falling,and the real ice is supposed to hit this afternoon,and they have extended the forcast to say that this will continue through tomorrow evening at least.
-19 F when I went to work this morning with 25+ mph winds. After two hours in a bucket truck (very little movement to generate body heat) with having to work with no gloves, I called the boss and told him I'm cleaning the INSIDE of the office today. I haven't done this much dusting in years. :)
Someone is enjoying the break in the snow/ice falling,he loves the stuff!
Cute pic....
there you go people, that young fella's got the right attitude, if you can stand out there in that stuff and smile.....
nice pic MDN
Thank you darling,but he wasn't exactly smiling when he first got out there they took too long to get him ready to go out.Quote:

Thanks.
Well I can see that darlin', when I was his age, half that gear would wind up stashed behind a rock somewhere (now that I'm a little older mind you, I'm grateful for all that gear when I have it, lol)
Looks like they forgot to put his hands back on when they were done dressing him.

Cold is pretty normal,but we did drop below 0 last week and it had been over a decade I think they said since it had been that cold here.
LOL her idea of saving money is to buy things he can wear for a "couple" of years.Quote:
