    No complaints from me, but I don't live in the flood zone either. Be careful out there!

    snow yet?
    Looking at a weather maker coming through tomorrow afternoon into Tuesday. We're due for some significant snowfall having had nearly none this December and mild temps for most of the month. Global weirding anyone? We're looking at 6-12". I have my snow shoes at the ready, of course...

    Stalled high pressure has us sunny, clear and seasonable here in western WI. Highs will be near 60 and lows mid-30's the next 5 days/nights. Fall colors are arriving at their peak as well. I hope to get in one more solid bike trip in the forest (Monday) before the snow flies. The colors should prove to be gorgeous!

    What's the weather like at your place? In Oakland it's chilly and overcast, but no sign of rain, which we need.

    how cold is it?...
    so cold that the avg. four foot frost line is now at seven feet. Many townships are requiring people to run their faucets open at a "pencil-wide stream" until told to turn them off. No increase in the water bill but a full charge to unfreeze a frozen lateral. Water mains frozen beyond belief. One more week of continuous 20 below nights. Just hoping the car starts every day and the power doesn't go out. Propane? Customers here had the opportunity to "lock-in" in the fall of '13 for about $1.50/gal. Currently at $3.60/gal. A 400 gal fill up is $1,440! Here in the second lowest per capita income county in WI., that's all but impossible for most. Seven adults and five children recently were rescued when one family member was able to call 911 before they all died. Tried to heat the house with a charcoal grill. Even the police were overcome by the carbon monoxide. That's how cold it is. March is coming. Hopefully there will be some new and warmer conditions to complain about.

    of snow today, finally. 5" and I've shoveled 3 times to keep the drive open. Schools and many businesses are closed. The long awaited release of Boulevard Brewing's Chocolate Ale has been postponed (aaargggh) but I still have a good stash of Hopslam!I don't get the Weather Channel anymore, since Directv told Jim Cantorre to go f#%k himself, so I rely on the National Weather Service site for snow news.

Pinwheel down the road like carnival rides on the road to work this morning, hoping that I just hadn't had my ticket punched for a session of bumper cars! Not supposed to be like this in NC, at least not unless you're in the mountains. I moved from New England for this?

Sounds like a typical commute for us! Fun isn't it? Although so far it has been way too mild. We need some snow!!! "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Lived in Maine a good long while...I actually used to have fun, which is to say actually enjoy, driving on fresh snow as long as no one else was on the road. It's this ice stuff that is more typical around here that gets scary, and the fact that the road crews aren't very well-prepared to handle it (a generous appraisal of their preparedness, I assure you). Yesterday you just didn't know minute-to-minute if the road was ok or if it was a sheet of ice. And then there's the clueless drivers -- one truck blew by me going at least 80 mph, and a few miles later I was following traffic going 5-10 mph. Reasonable speed was somewhere in between. Anyway, we'd be happy to send the snow and cold weather to CO where it belongs!

Got it up here in Ontario, Canada too. Beautiful snow, fluffy & flaky, just the way we like it. Already had a few good skates on the pond after the first snap and I'm looking forward to this lunar eclipse. Gonna go trudge through the woods in my woolens and breathe the good air. Happy Solstice!!!!

I went up to Paddy O'Quigley's, the other day, for a pint and met up with a bloody British chap who said airport runways were shut down for the first time he can remember, at both major London airports. Is the rest of Europe experiencing an early winter too? Y'all must be getting the snow that we're not getting here in Kansas City....

Well, I made it throught the blizzard at Heathrow last week and said "That's it, no more traveling!" Yet here I am am at home in Vermont with a wicked Nor'easter dropping a full 12" or more and making life a little less delightful. I think we can look forwad to more of the same all winter and in future winters. It''s a trend! I used to love it more when I did outdoor winter sports (besides cleaning the car and driving to work!)

Cold and dry just became cold and snowy: from Manhattan, KS to Columbia, MO, anywhere from 5" to 9" blanketed the ground. Shoveling the drive off took an hour, then the slow drive to work...whew, time for a nap... and a cookie!!

North Carolina hasn't exactly been a joy this winter season (a white Christmas even!), especially if you are in the mountains (I'm not). But then again, I've got nothing to complain about when you stack it up against minus-anything F for a temperature. Stay warm, folks!

That the storm front caused by the Europe '72 brouhaha subsides and we see calmer weather in these parts come next week. Looks like high '50s and sunny for my part of NC this weekend, hoping that some of your snow gets to melt away, unkle sam. I work with a guy from Boone and they've had something like 19 snow days for school kids already this season. Not fun at all.
