It's freaking snowing here again!

[Aerows]

I'm on the Gulf Coast. We have huge chunks of sleet falling all over the place, and it's going to hard, it sounds like hail almost.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

1. N Texas having our first snow blanketing this winter. We already did the ice thing - BIG TIME! n/t

[snooper2]

3. and you know what, I checked my weather.com app last night

Nothing, showed 0% precipitation through the weekend...

Checked it at like 10:00 last night. Woke up this morning and was like, WTF?


yeah, that app is gone- they have been sucking for a while

[ChisolmTrailDem]

12. Well, not only are we neighbors, but we also had the same weather.com app experience

related to this snowfall. Same exact thing. When I woke up this morning, there's a small space in the blinds and it looked particularly bright outside. I thought, that's the sort of bright that only comes with a winter snow. I got up, looked out, and what do you know? "Stupid weather app!"

But I like it. Something quiet, soothing, and peaceful about a gentle snow. I only wish I was in a cabin in the woods with a fire and a cappuccino before a great picture window - instead of a suburban apartment.

[Aerows]

4. I'm WAY down South

on the Gulf Coast - very close to the beach. And this is the second time we've gotten this mess. It's nearly noon, and it is already below freezing. Whacky weather!

[SomethingFishy]

2. It's been freezing and snowing in Colorado too..

Last night it got near minus 10.. and the snow comes on and off. Total of about 6 inches where I am so far... Can't wait to see the heating bill for this month

[fizzgig]

17. this cold is ridiculous

i'm in the northern front range and the milk was frozen when we pulled it out of the box this morning.

[TexasTowelie]

21. I'd be much more impressed if the milk was frozen when you pulled it out of the cow instead.

[fizzgig]

36. ha!

[Aerows]

41. It so cold

I'm surprised the cows aren't giving milkshakes.

[SomethingFishy]

29. They are calling for it to warm up tomorrow..

I sure hope so my car barely started this morning.

[fizzgig]

38. my car has been pissed

he'll start but he's not happy about it

[Aerows]

42. It's cold when your nose is running

but your car isn't.

[SomethingFishy]

45. LOL...

It's cold when your nose is running and a gust of wind comes along and freezes it.

[Aerows]

48. If your shadow sticks to the ground

...It's cold outside.

[fizzgig]

47. this is truth

it took us two years to figure out the cold start issue and i'm so glad we finally did because the winter car finally gave up the ghost.

[Aerows]

52. I don't live up north but I do know that those

awful little Isuzu pickup trucks can make it through anything. They are bare-bones, and we had water going over the hood of one in a flood, and the sucker kept going. It was just a plain commercial stick shift small pickup, and that thing made it through EVERYTHING. It's still hanging around, too. It's far from a nice ride, but it will get you from point A to point B no matter what is going on.

I'm pretty sure this little ugly pickup could go through Armageddon and still turn over.

[fizzgig]

55. that's how my old volvo was

she got me through so much weather before her electrical system went to shit. i miss that car.

[LiberalArkie]

27. 17 degrees here in central Arkansas and a its snow

[fredamae]

5. It's freeking snowing on the Beach

in Oregon-
I need to take a road trip cuz I'm gonna test it to see if it's "Obama's Plastic Snow" lol

[Aerows]

6. LMAO!

I saw that article. That is one of the looniest things I've seen in a while.

[fredamae]

13. I Know!

I swear-every dang time I tell myself-"I've heard/seen it all" "they" nail me again!

That is beyond, I think-even what "The Onion" coulda dreamt up hahahahaha

[Aerows]

44. And they are serious!

Mass delusion. I never thought I would see the "beating a donkey" in that Russian author's tale, but he was spot on about mass delusion.

[fredamae]

64. I agree-but it was far

outside my ability to comprehend it as a "reality". I certainly never ever thought I'd see it happen here.......

[Aerows]

73. There are some nuts in this world, fredamae

I don't know how to classify them other than that, and be kind about it.

[fredamae]

74. No argument here

Hopefully (sincerely) I hope many can be helped via coverage under the ACA.

[Aerows]

75. You and I both. n/t

[Shrike47]

26. Snowing in Eugene, too.

And the city is out there tearing a big hole in front of our driveway to look for a water leak. I don't envy the workers one bit.

Edited to fix autocorrect.

[fredamae]

66. Yes-I think you got it first

Eugene has had a rough and very chilly winter. You guys got hung big time that last cold spell-while "as the crow flies" I'm not all that far north of you--it was miserable enuf here-but I was glad I wasn't living "there" then
These temps are insane considering its at the beach

67. Be happy you're not here :)

[Lasher]

7. Got snow here again last night.

Gonna get more this weekend. Gonna be cold too.

[Aerows]

10. You and your raccoon pics LOL

Hey at least this might keep the little idiots away. They can stay in their little dens until the summer (or forever) as far as I'm concerned.

This is weird for us.

[Lasher]

18. It's not extremely rare for West Virginia

I remember when the river would freeze solid enough to ice skate on it but it hasn't done that for decades now.

Aww, you should put the little guys someplace warm. Like your grill or crock pot.

[Aerows]

19. They wouldn't *FIT* in my crock pot

And it's a big one.

[Lasher]

28. Hee hee. Now I am inspired to track Skittles down and annoy her.

She always gets mad when I expose her for wearing pajama jeans and crocs with white socks.

[Aerows]

30. I wear black cowboy boots quite a lot

Definitely good for delivering ass-kickings

[Lasher]

32. I'm picking up what you're laying down.

I've got cowboy boots from Phoenix and silver spurs from Dallas. Don't wear the spurs much anymore because they get hung up in the foot pegs and such of my Harley.

Oh, and ETA:

[Aerows]

35. I've never worn spurs

I never needed them. Strong thighs are all that is needed to make a mount mind you.

Oh wait. That didn't come out like it sounded in my head.

I mean when riding a horse.

[Lasher]

46. Dammit, I hate it when milk comes out of my nose.

Coulda been worse. I coulda been drinking that that West Virginia toxic tap water.

That might be what you really meant but I'm not sure I'm gonna remember it exactly that way.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

39. So they do wear those little bandit masks for a reason! nt

[Lasher]

51. I'm not sure, Aerows is the Raccoon expert.

I think she can recognize her favorites even if they don't take their masks off.

[Aerows]

56. Studies on Network latency and packet emulation? Nope

Hardware evaluation of routers? Nope.

I'm an expert on RACCOONS now.

[a la izquierda]

60. The Monongahela was frozen for over a week

Just thawed in the last two days.

[Lasher]

63. I live south of Charleston, where we haven't seen that sort of thing lately.

I have seen the Kanawha frozen over at Charleston but that was long ago. If I go to higher elevations not far away, it's quite a bit colder on average.

[Coyotl]

8. Here on the Central Oregon Coast too, over an inch in 20 minutes and more to come

The jet stream had dipped all the way into Mexico.

[Aerows]

9. I see that.

We are having a hard mix of sleet and snow and it is nearly noon, the warmest part of the day. I wonder what it is going to be like later on in the day when everyone leaves work?

[Coyotl]

23. I-5 in Oregon blocked in both directions now. Three inches of snow here this morning so far.

[MicaelS]

11. Drove home 15 miles throught blowing light snow.

Thank god it's windy and not sticking. Right now it is 16F with Wind Chill of 8F at Ft Worth NAS. High today will only be 28F. Brrrr.

[2naSalit]

14. I was wondering if you guys

were going to have another event of that sort. It was -37F here last night, currently somewhere around -28F at 11am, might get above 0F today. Wood pile is getting small.





Stay warm!!

[Aerows]

20. We had an incredibly mild summer

I guess we should have suspected this was coming.

[Coyotl]

25. Saw a -57° wind chill in Livingston MT report on Fb.

[2naSalit]

50. Not surprised but that's wind chill

Last edited Thu Feb 6, 2014, 07:51 PM - Edit history (1)

which is not the case where I'm at, though Livingston is roughly 110 miles from here. It's calm as can be here, thank goodness! Because -37F is cold enough, I have the stove going full bore and I can only get it up to about +65F in the cabin. I'm wearing some interesting duds at the moment! And I'll have to get out to the shed to get some more wood in the next hour, it's snowmobile suit weather just to walk outside, to hell with the snowmobiles and the wind chill factor! And I'm up along the divide, 25 hundred - ft higher in elevation.

It's supposed to warm up and snow tomorrow. And up into the +20F temps this weekend. Not starting the vehicle until it's in the double digits on the right side of 0!! I could if need be but my Toyota is old and I want to make it last as long as I can. I will go out and either hike or ski a few miles for exercise in a couple hours regardless of the temps. I don't mind the cold as long as it isn't every day all winter, and I don't care how deep the snow gets and can deal with that easier than the extreme cold.

But the serious cold might help kill off some of the bark beetles and that would be a good thing which I am willing to endure the cold for.

ETA: On my afternoon outing down to the root cellar I ran into my landlord there and we chatted about the temperature last night, he wanted to know if I was able to stay warm. He said that his digital thermometer was reading -48F this morning!!

I thought it was a little colder than my cheap, spring loaded unit outside was indicating. I think it freezes up at about -25F though the lowest temp on the graph is -65F. Oh well, its supposed to only get -20F tonight so it will probably be close to -50F again. Brought in more wood, landlord said he'd bring some more up tomorrow.

[B Calm]

15. We got another 10 inches Tues/Wed..

Ready for SPRING!

[liberal N proud]

16. Snow was 3 feet deep in my driveway when I got home last night

That was fresh snow.

I have piles of snow in my front yard taller than I am.

[2naSalit]

53. Normally

there are snowbanks higher than 13'6" semi trailers around here and you HAVE to have a loader of some sort to move the snow around in a small driveway, and a place to pile it up. I have to park down at the end of the road/driveway so the sun will be on the hood of the vehicle during the day.

We haven't had nearly enough snow, I can see over the snowbanks and piles... a storm dumping 3+ ft is normal but not this year.

All the snow seems to have fallen far east of the Rockies this winter, but then most of the frigid cold went there too - that's our usual fare.

[cascadiance]

22. A snow storm is now starting to hit here in Portland as well... Snow coming down now...

... and supposed to give us a few inches today.

[msanthrope]

24. Hopefully a chunk of sleet will hit the raccoon. nt

[Aerows]

33. Remaining optimistic is always important.

I like the way you think!

[MNBrewer]

31. That's not snow, it's nanobots.... or something

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/act-gov-meet-americas-fake-snow-conspiracy-theorists-1435094

[Aerows]

34. It has to be something other than frozen water

Because, I mean, frozen water NEVER falls out of the sky when it goes below freezing. That's just a myth.

[Historic NY]

37. Humm...its saying 70% chance of precip..

here in NY next Wed. perhaps another snow event.

[WhiteTara]

40. It's snowing again here too

We have about 4 inches on the ground and more is on the way. We are in a mountain community and it's really rough since our roads aren't cared for very well.

[William769]

43. It was 88 Degrees here yesterday

& only got down to 72 degrees last night with a real feel temp of 76! I'm looking forward to winter.

[Aerows]

65. Oh hush, you

It sucks up here, not in the state when you turn the US on it's side and shake it. Everything loose falls into Florida!

[William769]

76. Hey!

We like to get noticed.

[Aerows]

77. LOL!

Honey, I lived in Florida (St. Pete, to be exact for 7 years). I know . Still, shake the US and everything loose falls there. It's one of my favorite Florida jokes

[Skidmore]

49. We had -31F windchills this morning when I went into town and

-11F actual temps. The wind is brutal. I would have stayed home if we didn't need supplies so much. We're supposed to get more snow on Saturday. Right now bright cold sunlight is glaring on the snow fields.

[clarice]

54. Snow on the ground in Houston this AM. nt

[Aerows]

57. I lived in Houston for a while when I was going to U of H for an internship.

You folks are as far south as we are. When we are getting snow, it's an event, and this is twice now. Crazy winter weather!

[clarice]

58. About 8-9 years ago...

It started snowing here on Christmas Eve! On Christmas morning there was
2-3 inches on the ground. My kids went crazy !!!

[Aerows]

59. It's crazy!

Stay warm, my friend!

[clarice]

61. And you as well..Go Cougars !nt

[steve2470]

62. 34 and light snow in Brooklyn MS right now....

I looked by the gulf and no stations are reporting right now, but I DO believe you !

Feeling 100% yet ? Read my raccoon story ?

[Aerows]

71. It has stopped coming down for a while, but the temperature is dropping

and there are clouds in the sky. This has been an incredibly strange year of weather for this part of the country! First we had a mild summer, now this.

[Rowdyboy]

68. 34 and a few light flurries a few hours north of you....

It can end any time and I'll have seen quite enough for the season.

[Aerows]

69. You and me both, Rowdyboy!

This has been a strange winter. I guess we should have expected it, since the summer wasn't as oppressively hot as hell, though!

[PasadenaTrudy]

70. Hopefully

it will keep the racoons away

[Aerows]

72. Oh Goodness

I'm afraid I'm going to always be associated with the raccoons. I'm the were-raccoon woman
