Ok, it has officially changed here.  It is actually just like last night.  I just got back from a call, and it took me 45 minutes to go 26 miles.  The roads are glazed, the state plows are running and keeping the highway open, but the county plows are not, so lots of drifting on the county roads.  Stupid serpentine belts slip when they get snow on them, so lots of dim lights and watching the voltmeter go down and back up.  With the sun down the biggest thing is visibility.

As of now, light snow falling, 20 mph winds straight out of the north, and 20 degrees.
In my late Grandads neighborhood a house just sold for $170k. This is compared to the $330 we got for an identical house when my grandad passed 2 years ago. waterfront (canal, but full of bass and bluegills). It's a three bedroom, 2 bath with 12 foot ceiling and a spanish tile roof. You're 3 miles from the ocean and 90 miles from the glades. Plenty of casulties to keep an EMT busy, and gun laws? Oh, yeah, try not to shoot someone who didn't have it coming. Just saying.

Eastern Iowa it is Still Raining.  2 Days of rain has pretty much taken all of the snow away but the SNOW IS COMING!!!! ;D :(    ( I love the snow.  BUT My little sis is suppose to be driving down from Chicago and my Dad has already freaked out about her driving w/bad roads AND I'm on 3rd shift and I normally don't mind calling out the Linemen [they make plenty on call outs] but it is Christmas.  Bad timing for this winter storm )

I checked "warm and clear", but that will be later in the day. It's cold as I type this. Cold for Phoenix anyway. 34 degrees on my patio digital. Once the Sun comes up it will be in the low 60's.  Bill T.

Wind, snow, drifts, blowing snow, roads barely passable.

Typical ND winter.

More Christmas candy!!!!   ;D

And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

It was a wet Christmas. None of the freezing rain and snow that was predicted. Just a little rain and it was in the 40's.

Actually, in NE Ohio it warmed up overnight and we got rain enough to melt most of the snow.  Not warm enough to go without a coat but warmer.  33 and sunny tomorrow.
