We were hit starting last night.
It took me twice as long to drive home as it did to drive to work last night. I spent an hour on the road this morning and it sucked.

We're getting hit by temps in the 40s(!).
Cold for Texass, anyways.
I don't wanna get hit by a snow storm. My bro was working on my computer and I wanna get it back ASAP. :(

So far we've got rain and sleet in southern Illinois. Sounds like sleet, at least. But it's supposed to be pretty cold, so there might wind up being snow.
They were actually talking about us gettin snow last night as well. Of course since it's Texas we also had a tornado warning.
That's right could've had a snownado.
I hear the best course of action in a snownado is to play only in larger snow banks.
I hear the best course of action is to run like hell.

I've heard we could get sleet and ice, especially Fri/Sat (work days! YEA!!!).
If you want to see the worst cold-weather drivers ever, try to find the Txdot camera system that monitors our highways. If we do get sleet or snow, it should be good for a few laughs.

It's currently a mild, moderately cloudy 65 degrees in Manhattan today. People are walking around sipping frappucinos, wearing shorts/skirts (Both sometimes!) and waving Yankee pennants around as the neighborhood kids crack open fire hydrants and play in the water.
Meanwhile, I feel like a cool lemonade! Mm-mmm!

There's SNOW on the ground. It's STICKING to things. This hasn't happened since sometime before I moved here.
It's NUTS.

I saw some snow in a picture once. Is it anything like sand?
Because we have a lot of that here, which I can see from my bedroom window, overlooking the beach.

No snow here in frosty MN, but we had 16 degree temp last night so it won't be long now.
No snow yet. I wish I didn't live in New England. I like snow, and I'm not getting any yet. :(

No snow here, just bitterly cold wind.

No snow here, but of course that's expected. It snows maybe once every 5 years in GA, and even then it's maybe an inch. Going to be 63 tonight, and is 72 right now, though it will be 31 tomorrow night. Yep the weather in GA is ****ed up, always has been. We don't really get winter anymore, just a couple of weeks of winter interspersed in fall/spring. Hurray for widely fluctuating temperatures.

About 3-4 inches in St. Louis now. I was driving 15-20 mph on the highway all the way home from my college. Before I got home, I stopped by the local church and did a bunch of snow donuts in the parking lot.

Sleeting all day. Snowing tonight. Expecting 5 inches of snow before this weather passes. I am totally caught off guard.

My company closed its doors tonight because none of its three night shift employees (me included) can make it to work on account of the weather.
I could probably get there, I drove it last night and this morning, but I really don't feel like it. Spending over an hour on the road when it should take half an hour just doesn't appeal to me.

Last year this time we had power outages and power lines down all over because of the ice storm. I love ND....

That's how I feel living five minutes from campus but having to wait for a stupid bus because there's no parking.

On sunday it was -25 celsius, with 60kmh winds. My 10min walk home from work was brutal.
Well, we got the freezing rain on the ground and trees now. I hear we could get more than six inches of snow. If that happens, the trees are going to snap and the power is gonna go bye-bye.
I just got back from Blackberry's home. It wasn't bad once I got out of her driveway, but my tires were spinning like mad trying to get up on the road, which is raised above the end of her driveway. After that, the side roads were pretty pathetic but the main roads were quite clear.
I remember a few years ago during one of the big freezes they were talking about people accidents caused by ice on the roads and they went to the field reporter and she was standing in front of this truck trying to climb a hill, but was instead just spinning his tires going nowhere. I found it funny that they choose to use this guy as their backdrop.

I remember being in an ice storm (freezing rain) didn't have power for 7 days straight. Thankfully we had Gamboys to keep us busy :lol

Today's weather comes with rain and humidity......
Jesus...
It was like, 50, 60 degrees Thurs. I kept hearing about the big snow storm.
The next day it's 16 degrees w/ 12 inches of snow outside. Work was called off.
This is the most drastic next day winter I've ever experienced.

My power went out a week ago, which is why I haven't been here. I stayed over at a friend's house since he had heat and I didn't. I may elaborate on some of our antics in the Playground, but over 500,000 people in the st. Louis area were out of power, which was an excellent situation for our choice of activities.

See, if you did that here, you'd be dead.
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing about the Chicago weather. I go out for a few minutes and a feel the windburn on my face for a couple hours.
It only snowed like an inch a few days ago. And, it melted in like an hour. I was sad.
I may elaborate on some of our antics in the Playground...
May away.

Lost power that Thursday night. Got it back a week later, Thursday morning. Didn't get the internet back until a day after, because the internet people came at one point and took away the sagging cable line. Even for me it wasn't too hard to notice that I had one less line going to my house. I wound up staying with my grandparents, who, while they also didn't have power (I live right next to them), they had a couple gas fireplaces that did a great job of keeping the place warm.
The best part of all this is how there's a tree sitting on my house, a few feet from where I'm sitting right now. I'll have pictures later. :)
