We're supposed to get 4-5" of snow tonight and a few days later rain. We've had record lows and fairly warm days mixed together. The good news is I don't have to shovel rain. The bad news is that it's going to freeze the next day.

This is the time of year, Valentine's Day, that we commonly get a 2" rain.  Problem is that it hits the snow and we end up with 6" of solid ice on top of everything white.  In 1995 we had snow 15' deep in the grove, and in spring the ice layer stripped all the branches off the trees as it went down.  Blue Spruce that were completely under the ice cover were accordianed down and looked like drink straws we twist and coil as we sit in cafes.

Hope we don't get it this year!

I wouldn't ride a snow mobile at 16 degrees!  I would worry about "Black Ice" if it were me!

I would worry about brown ice. Riding a motorcycle in winter I would definitely s**t myself.

Well, I'm one of those guys who ride the motorcycle in the cold. Wind chill of -45 was the coldest, and yes, it is just like riding a snow mobile. 2014 haven't been out on it yet here in MI due to having the shoulder rebuild, but will be back out again soon.

Expecting mid-60's here in KY tomorrow, then back to the light freeze, 30's over the weekend.

Most of the snow is gone. it's been a lot for central KY this year, or so I'm told. Seems light to me, but then I was acclimated to North Dakota!! If we got a snowstorm in KY of 2-4", the news was apoplectic, schools and .gov offices would close, and on an hour long newscast, 44 minutes of real content, fully 30-35 minutes were weather related. I especially like the car tasked with driving around with a dashcam on roads the .gov was frantically telling us to stay off!

In the meantime, ND was minus teens or twenties, with snow, and life managed to go on without a lot of comment.
