I never need to hear the words winter hurricane. I'm over it. And the storms from the south are always the screw you here's 3 feet of snow variety.

Yep, I see them. PLEASE, everyone that may get hit with this stay safe. With possible power outages with these winds, maybe better plan where to go just in case?...or be ready to be without for awhile anyway. Thank you mmhmm, appreciate the curtesy. Just wanted to make sure all are prepared as much as possible.

I wouldn't worry about it, zib. sometimes they don't show up in Tapatalk, but they usually do in browsers. just don't post only in emojis and expect everyone to get your point, and you should be fine.

Your point? I've stocked up on Considering how bitterly cold it is here, where everything turns brittle, keys break off in locks, extension cords to block heaters snap in half, and windows break on their own.... screw the beer. The only thing that would probably make me feel better is heroin.

We had sleet & then snow this morning....way down here close to Tallahassee, Fl.! It's all gone now since the sun came out & we are up to 41º if you stand in the sun....otherwise, feels about like 32º.
Savannah is just about shut down...sleet/freezing rain there. Warnings to stay off the roads. Think Jacksonville, Fl. may have gotten a touch of it early this morning too.

They told us and told us....climate change will bring weather extremes. Like cold weather in the winter, in Canada ?

today is the first day where the temp is above 0 all day, but tomorrow it's going back to -12, and below zero through the weekend.
This just sucks, sucks, sucks. I'm done with this shit!

weather.com is now saying 1 to 3 inches of snow that will stick. I will have to drive in it tomorrow to work. The good news is it appears the snow should end around 1PM and then there will be wind. And likely blowing snow. I hope its not too bad, as I have a long day tomorrow and will drive home after dusk. The low temps for the next three days are horrible, we even get a negative single digit low for Saturday.

Accurate records go back about 160 years. Basically nonsense in reference to climate. Context, context, context. She's like 'Chicken Little' with the sky is falling stuff.

I'm done with this shit! we hit 30 degrees on Cape Cod. it was glorious! I took the pups to the dog park and let them play for over an hour. it would have been longer, but my fingers were frozen. I know we won't be going anywhere for the next couple days, so I wanted to make sure they got some time to get out and play. latest forecast maps have my area of MA expecting anything from 2-4" to over a foot. the only thing they all agree on is the hurricane force winds, yay.

Basically nonsense in reference to climate. Context, context, context. She's like 'Chicken Little' with the sky is falling stuff. I understand her point. I don't understand why accepting that the climate is changing is such an issue. I don't know if it's a natural phenomena or man made, or both, but the rising average global temp is causing some weather anamolies. I don't think we're all going to die, or drown, or die in a hurricane, but it's something we should look into.

It's been much, much warmer in the past, and much colder. Without man. Edit; Her only point as far as I can see is either trolling or fear mongering. Take your pick!

I don't think "cold" is even the right word for it. It's beyond cold. It's a brutal, bone-breaking, window-shattering freeze. We haven't seen anything like it.

Due to recent weather events in Canada, they will be expecting more cold weather in January. It's expected to be warmer in the southern hemisphere.

It's snowing here right now, on top of all the snow we got on Christmas Eve. I hate winter, it can just go and fuck itself, for all I care.

Our accumulation stopped at about 3". Very windy and just snow dusting the last few hours, although I heard something is coming from DC and it isn't politics.

Fortunately, we're not getting snow anytime soon per current projections. It's darned cold (for here), though!

My DGS is driving into this mess today...left SW Ga. a bit before noon headed to coastal Va.....where the snow is deeper! It's just now starting to get out of the snow area, so he may have some very bad roads to contend with....hoping he has enough sense to stop for the night & finish his drive tomorrow....I gave him $$ for a motel & told him to USE them. But you know how kids are, us old folks don't know anything...until we do!

Here on the Eastern shore of Md right now it isn't the accumulation but the temp and winds that blow snow back onto the roads. This is a light, dry snow. We put down brine yesterday but it isn't effective below 20F. Winds have knocked trucks over and shut down highways.
