any update FW?

I thoughtyou were supposed to get the winter off from that stuff.

we had thundersnow the other night. kinda scary that.

 
No damage in our neighborhood but trees and power lines down around parts of the city.
What a tragedy. Was that supposed to happen at this time? I mean....tornadoes spree?

Man, I woke up and saw that on TV. I am glad you are OK mate.

Is everybody here accounted for?

Yeah, I saw that on FOX news this morning and on NPR. This was the first thread I checked into to day, just to see if everyone made it through oK.

 
-15 with a wind chill of -30 this morning!
I think the sun took the day off.

You should follow the example of the anti-scammer that nailed Prince Joe(refer to the thread of the anti-scammers...) and start a business exporting snow. Send some down here to South Florida. Then these pussy cats will know what cold weather really is. They are complaining because it is 50 something this morning.

^ They are already exporting it somewhere. We have so much of it that it's pile 4 or 5 feet high on the side of the road. The town highway crews were out with excavators and dump trucks loading it up and hauling it away like dirt. With another 6-10 inches expected overnight, they need a place to pile up the new stuff.

I should post some pics this weekend. It's pretty impressive how much we have.

What a difference less than 200 miles makes. We have been to bare ground a couple of times only to get a few more inches. Expecting something like 4-6 in. tonight through tomorrow AM followed by rain. It's not pretty and I don't like playing in it. quite framkly it's just a PITA.

We're planning on driving down to visit the indians tomorrow and make some donations at the gaming tables. I hope the ride doesn't turn into a nightmare.

It's the coastal influence. I grew up 50 miles from the open waters in NY. I had the misfortune of being right on the rain/snow line for most storms.

Yet from time to time I talk to my parents and they've gotten a big storm and all we got was a dusting. Weather is a funky thing!

 
WE got an inch or so of snow last night, then it got into the mid 40's and it all melted by the time I got home.

 
It rained all weekend here, even had some thunder. It's all good, though, because it was getting way too dry. This weekend probably saved the dry season for us.

 
We have a winter storm WARNING and are about to get sent home. Everything around here is closing up shop right now. Having come from California, I'm very excited about my snow day. Having grown up in Iowa, I think that it is ridiculous that anything is closing down for one inch of snow AND temps still well above freezing. But like I said, YAY SNOW DAY!

I have one word, and one word only for you. In honor of the tank...BASTARD!

 
lol, I was going to ask if you wanted to take this one FLB!

but then employers and DOTs have gotten more pro-active about shutting down before the 20 car pileups start.
