We're having big storms here. I'm not sure which way they are headed.

It's heading towards me.

I came into work a little early, because I'm sure I'll want to leave early. Radar shows the snow just moving into our county now, with 6 to 10 inches expected.

Yeah, I got up early because I wasn't sure how bad it was going to be. Plus, I was still fired up after last night's interview and couldn't sleep. LOL

Do you live near me, Marley?

I don't think Ithaca, NY is all that close to Idaho.

And now I'm thinking we're talking about two different storms. This one is stretching from Minnesota to the east coast.

We are expecting a snow/sleet mixture today, with an accumulation of 6-8 inches of snow by tomorrow afternoon.

We are expecting 8-12" starting around noon. I am hoping the boss lets me head home early. Had to come in, though, because of a shipment and record review.

I will get to try out my new Toro snowthrower. Bought it about a month ago, and finally put it together last night. Until this past Wednesday, Fort Irwin had had more snow than we had in the northern suburbs of Boston.

Well, sure, they're both "Elsewhere".

If there was any chance of getting out of this area now that the storm's begun, you'd be getting some company!

we are still in a deep freeze here, and are expecting more snow on the weekend. Thankfully, school is out this afternoon, until the 5th, and I only work Monday and Tuesday of next week.

I am really hoping it is not as bad as predicted, 10-15 cms, because I don't (of course) have snow tires and Big J and I are supposed to spend Christmas eve and day with my parents. They are in quite a rural area though, and the roads could be really dicey.

I am gonna bake some banana breads and muffins and make me some butternut squash soup.

I love doing that kinda stuff during a snow storm.

On the other hand, I'm on day 3 of a major headache!! Scheduled an appointment with my
chiropractor as I've over medicated for 3 days now and I don't think I can do it another day.
The humidity here is ridiculous!! (94% right now and it's NOT raining!!)

Yesterday morning it was 20 degrees.

This morning it is probably at least 50 out there...

Sunday morning, it will threaten single digits....

Where is my buddy Al Gore....?

Update: It is now back down in the 30's...

So, yesterday, it was in the 20's all afternoon....

The temp rose throughout the evening and night, until it hit 50 early this morning....

And now, at noon, it is back at the freezing point....

So much for your typical daily high and low temps....

I heard it was an impromptu weather forecast that got the attention of an AP for LB about 8 years ago....

He still can't have my job though. I have to travel to places with brutal weather like Vegas and Florida....

amateurs.

This storm is missing us - we're too far north. But we're supposed to get hit Sun. night.

But the windchill is -9 right now. I'd rather have snow.

If you lived here, you wouldn't have to choose, you'd get both!!
Yay, us!

tired, tired, tired of the cold. I know, it's freakin' Montana, deal with it.

Just in latitude.

Here is the weather for Ojmjakon, Russia

I think I like saying Ojmjakon.


lol

We got about 5 inches from the storm last night/this morning. They closed all the schools here (today was supposed to be the last day before the holidays). Tomorrow we get a break to dig out, and then tomorrow night we go under another storm watch-this one goes all the way to Monday. The weatherman even mentioned the dreaded lake effect.

I guess we will have a White Christmas.

Looks like our total is about 7 inches. Sting will plow us out this morning and then we will wait for the storm that will come over night!

it rained so much that a manhole cover got blown off its hole by a geyser

it was a balmy 52
