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

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...

Well, it took a while but, fall has set in here in St. Louis. Had to break out the jackets and such. Not much color on the trees yet, but it shouldn't be long now...

we'll take 'em!

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!

big changes in da Buff....after an extremely dry hot and humid summer, a cold front is moving in on the back end of some heavy rain.... After today, hi in the 60s, lows in the 40s....gotta get out the hoodies and jeans.... Time for some hot cider and a fire to warm them bones....

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

This is the winter America's fat people have been preparing for.

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.
