It's just now hit 32F here.  That's cold for us.  The weather forecasters were about 10 degrees too high in their forecasts.  I'm definitely in the wrong business...

I always wonder how meteorologists retain their jobs with such a relatively low success rate compared to other professions.

This weekend is predicted to bring the storm of a decade (no joke! Possibly a 5 to 10 year storm) to come through. Can't wait to run my 15k in the "heavy rain and breezy" conditions predicted for Sunday, after all the "heavy rain" on Saturday that will probably flood parts of the course!

Snow day = brew day

The snow is "falling" horizontal.

Sad that all my southern friends are trying to enjoy 1/4" snow and we just pile it up like trash in the parking lot...

Next to no snow, but about a 1/4" thick layer of ice on Friday night/Saturday morning.  Enough that it took down a massive limb on my shitty-ass piece of f*cking sh*t bradford pear tree out front, JUST missing my car.

I was going to complain about it being 3 degrees this morning. But I realized that's like a heat wave for some of you.

It's only in the TEENS here, man.  The TEENS.

I think single digits is always justification for complaining

Well, it was freaking cold this morning. My car was not happy to be woken up. It's all good, it's going to be in the 50's by the end of the week.

-9 when the Buff household headed up to go skiing on Saturday. But it warmed up into the 20's on the hill by the end of the day. The bonus is that the blower motor on my furnace crapped out on Friday night. Thank God for neighbors and friends with space heaters. New motor will be delivered on Tuesday, and my FIL and I will put it in on Wednesday. Luckily, it is warmer (in the 30's in the morning) today, so we don't have to run both of our gas fireplaces AND the eight space heaters to keep the hopuse a decent temp.

It was cold (single digits) outside this weekend, but truthfully I was thinking about some folks on here and how the heck do you stand extended periods of sub-zero weather.  F' that.

It's a "dry" cold.....

my younger son is doing this this weekend- I am kind of bummed I have "other" plans to be honest!   (My older son is having some GA friends fly out for a quick ski weekend) but in all reality this looks a lot more fun for the weekend.. we did this our first year here, it was around 0 degrees but a balmy 40 degrees in the Quinzee!

^Looks like fun.

they canceled school today which was already going to be an early dismissal because of a freezing rain storm headed our way this afternoon

I fondly remember the deep freeze camping trips I did in scouts when I was younger.  Fun times.

Southern California is about to get pounded by a series of three storms... caused by so called "Atmospheric Rivers"... This year the "Pineapple Express" has been very active and hopefully it reduces the state wide drought...

SF is getting hit by storm No.1 as I write this.
