I think the best $20 bucks I spent this winter was for a "squeegee" to get all the snow grime and water that falls off the car out of the garage ....

Thunder Sleet!

I just wish it would make up it's mind on what it's going to do... rain, freezing rain, snow and sleet for today and I've already seen all three and back to rain before 9 am.

 

[engineergurl]

oh and they should let us dress casually for days like this, the wind nearly blew my skirt up over my head in the parking lot this morning.

Got pics?

Warm but rainy today. Temp supposed to continue to drop.

 

[Krakosky]

Warm and toasty in the 80s.

 

[matt267 PE]

Cold and snowy in the 30s. :redface:

 

[mudpuppy]

30s would be great. It was 4 here this morning. But by next week it's supposed to be nearly 50!

 

[Road Guy]

Woke up to 7° it's almost 20 now supposed to be 40 in a couple of hours lots of sunshine for the weekend

Our weather decided what it was going to do last night at about 6 pm. It chose snow, and kept with it until about 9 am. We have north of 7" on the ground, and the plows didn't even try to keep up. I brought my computer home last night and I'm not even attempting to go in today.

we stay in the 20's through Sunday but hopefully the warm up will begin next week. Current forecasts say pushing 50 next week. Can't come soon enough.

Would anyone really call you out on dressing casually at that place?

Yes, it's now in the 20s and dropping.

surprisingly yes, I have been called out for that EXACT reason before, which is why I refuse to wear business suits and aim for my most casual dressy outfits (today I have a cotton knee length skirt with knee high boots on, a long sleeved "almost t-shirt" and a sweater on) I don't think I look any odder than the ladies walking around in their pin strip pencil skirts and bedroom slippers.

 

[Supe]

Raining... hard.

 

[engineergurl]

School is closing at 4... the grumbles around here are amazing. I intend on leaving before them because my attitude is I'm salary and if I've made an appearance and put in the majority of the day then they can't dock me for any time.

They still haven't plowed my street. I may not go to work tomorrow either.

Looks like you are better off staying home: https://news.yahoo.com/colossal-snowstorm-strands-motorists-on-kentucky-highways-171616570.html

Vehicles could be seen parked on a stretch of Interstate 65 for 10 miles north and south of Elizabethtown in the northern part of the state — some say for more than 12 hours.

on the interstate for more than 12 hours. that's what caused the weeklong shut down here in Boston for the blizzard of 1978. they couldn't plow the major roads with all the vehicles on them. It's a slow process to tow all the cars to allow the cleanup to begin. During the most recent similar storms the governor implemented a driving ban to preclude just that type of situation. It worked.
