Wind chill is -33 here right now.

 

[Road Guy]

We had a pleasant 2" of snow...

 

[mudpuppy]

Wind chill is already -20 here, just spent an hour out snow blowing in that.

 

[Flyer_PE]

On our way to -20F here tonight. Not a good evening to be a brass monkey.

 

[matt267 PE]

It's 12 deg. in RI right now. It actually feels warm.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

-8 feels like -31.

The wind here is a real bitch. There are no trees or hills to break it up. In the summer, it's a pleasant breeze. In the winter, it's an arctic blast.

Was surprised my car actually started this morning. Last polar vortex it did not.

 

[envirotex]

Black Ice.

Ick.

 

[Master slacker]

Sleet and freezing rain . Fun

 

[NJmike PE]

yeah, I saw that on the news this morning, MS. They reported mult inches of WW crap.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Only 20 degrees outside, but the clear skies are allowing the roads to melt anyways. Should make for a wet/sloppy couple of days...

 

[Master slacker]

Very sleet-tastic here.

We got snow today, probably 2 inches of it. I left the office at noon, when it just started snowing, and was very glad I did mostly because the roads became a total gridlocked mess by 1pm. For those that left work later it sounds like a 4+ hour commute home was the norm rather than the exception.

I do believe Atlanta roads had a saturation flowrate problem today

 

[NJmike PE]

Supposedly after tonight, we should begin to warm up. Maybe even get above freezing for a change.

I'm not exactly sure what it's doing outside.... it's not quite snow, not quite sleet, not quite freezing rain... whatever it is, it is cold and annoying

 

[NJmike PE]

It is definitely cold out there. I will welcome the 30 degree temps with open arms.

 

[roadwreck]

it seems that things are actually much worse than I initially suspected. A number of people I know have had to abandon their vehicles and set out on foot. One of those is my sister-in-law, who was trying to pick up her daughter from school. It sounds like their plan is to spend the night at the school!

I feel a little guilty about my speed limit drive home at lunch today and my casual stroll around the neighborhood this afternoon enjoying the snow now. :blush2:

 

[NJmike PE]

I heard the same on the evening news. Most school districts with busing services were suspended in the afternoon. Parents were welcomed to pick up their child if they could. Otherwise we're prepared to hold the children over night due to travel conditions. It never dawned on me that parents could the night with the kids, but it's probably a good idea.

Oh, a winter mix. Broccoli, cauliflower, turban squash, etc.
