9. We have flash flood and strong wind warnings here
Edited on Wed Dec-09-09 01:46 AM by rebel with a cause
in the southern part of the state. Snow expected tomorrow along with more rain, then down in the teens tomorrow night. I have the freezer full so it is time for an ice storm with downed power lines. Hope I am wrong and this all blows over for all of us, with the minimum of damage and loss. :grouphug:

5. I am under a blanket
A little snow on the ground from Sunday, but it's mighty cold for December! -25 currently, but hey, the wind isn't blowing here tonight.

Stay snug you blizzard buddies!

13. Thank you. I will try and you too.
It is much colder where you are than here. We cry at the temp getting in the single digits and below zero is pipe freezing weather for us because some of the houses are still not prepared for it. But of course, when the power is off and there is no heat we are not prepared for that big time.

Our weather forecast has been changed a little. They are now saying no rain or snow tomorrow, only wind and colder temp. We will have to wait and see.

You take care. I worry about all of you in the north who have such cold temp. You are probably use to it but it sounds scary to me for the temp to get that low. :hug:

14. Update:
Currently where I am: in NE WI at least 8" snow with drifts approaching 2 1/2-3 feet in some parts. And it's still snowing.

15. Snow sure is pretty but that is about all the good
I can say about it at the moment. If you have nothing to do and can just go out in it for fun and recreation, then I imagine it is great. Having to clear paths and make it down the deep rutted streets is not so pleasurable. ;)

It is clear here with no forecast of precipitation today. The high winds dried up most of the wet areas so the falling temperatures will not leave us sliding on ice covered surfaces. I still don't like the biting cold of the strong winds but I can live with it long enough for the dogs to go out.

Take care and stay safe.
