It is freezing cold and kind of cloudy. Yesterday it snowed. Luckily it didn't stick as it hit the ground. It just stuck to the glass and metal of the cars.

We got snow last night, not a ton of it, but it still snowed. Right now it's rather icky to with a snow/rain mix.

I was here for that. That was rather interesting.

Today, it was cold and windy. it is currently 29 with a wind chill down to 20 degrees. I heard that the wind chill brought the temperature down to 17 earlier today.

If I can pretend to take that in shorts and a sweatshirt with the sleeves rolled up, I might be able to take the Michigan winter after all. I could see my knees and arms turning purple too.

(CBS4/AP) DENVER A major snowstorm will bring up to 4 feet of snow to parts of the Colorado high country over the next 2 days while the Denver area will see a little light snow or flurries Saturday morning. The storm will also mean dangerous cold and ice in extreme eastern Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas through Saturday afternoon, especially along Interstates 70 and 80.

Holy....

It's been raining pretty steadily here for two hours, now. We need it! Cloudy, gray and low-mid 60's. 👍

27 degrees. Feels like 14. Very light snowfall. Ice in places. Still waiting for some real snow.

I love the weather we are having: Sun and cold; We are having temperatures between 50 and 55 degree Fahrenheit, what is perfectly normal for the time of the year. What it isn’t normal is that we are getting very but very low rain. In all November it only rained for about 3 /4 days , and if we still get in this feet, we are going to have another drought, and that would be devastating.

 

[Philly]

It's finally snowing pretty hard. Lots of tiny flakes. And it's sticking, the roads are all white.

I'm pumped.

It started to snow today, but a couple of hours later it turned into a really wet mixed. I was going to adjust my tire pressures today, so I wanted to move the car into the garage. I tried to get in the car, but the door was frozen. I cleared the ice in the cracks with my key and opened the door. The scraper for the windshield was in the trunk, but I think it was frozen pretty solid. I probably could have cleared the windshield with a shovel, but I don't think it was worth the effort to adjust tire pressures.

edit: This is around Chicago

Been nice, mid 60's during the day and 40's at night.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Cold, and mostly cloudy today. It's started to drizzle again, but it's not going to equal what rain we got yesterday. We got a good soaking yesterday, and it was much needed.

Tomorrow, mid to high 70's after today's low 60's. Nice expected change.

We've had snow over here in Eastern WA, and it's frozen on the roads.
It's been snowing off & on all day, in the 20's & low 30's.

I wanna move to Texas.

 

[Joey D]

It's sleeting really bad right now and it's making the snow that fell early a real mess. I hate our weather here.

You should move to Texas too. It's got great weather for 90% of the year.

I don't think I could deal with Michigan winters...the ones here are bad, but yours are on a whole new level of frozen hell. Good luck commuting in this crap, bro. 👍

I've been to Texas and it's probably one of the last places I would ever want to go again. 120 in the middle of summer is a bit much for me.

And I was already out driving around in it, if you are born and raised in Michigan you just have it in you to drive in the snow. It's not easy, but you manage.

 

[Kylehnat]

It's been snowing off and on here for most of the day. It's only started to pile up in the last couple hours. We shouldn't end up with too much though; maybe a couple inches. It sure transforms the look of the landscape, though.

Update on the Michigan weather:

Philly and I are about 30 minutes apart, so I'd bet we're getting the same stuff; Freezing rain on top of snow from this evening, about 27F outside with a wind chill that has to be nearing single-digits. Its bitterly cold... My military jacket was having a very hard time stopping the wind. It was cold enough to pretty much kill my battery as well, as I required a jump.

...Driving in this weather isn't that bad, it just isn't that good either. I'd estimate that if I had the V6 Jetta it would fare a bit better in the snow by comparison to the I4 I've got, but it isn't as though its that bad. Poor tires are partially to blame...

If this year is anything like the past few, it will be crappy for a week or so, then it will be rather mild, and we may get one or two more storms before it warms up again.

Guess what ... We have rain, ... again! And a small storm.

It snowed here too. It wasn't supposed to snow. It stuck too. But its only like half an inch.

 

[superberkut]

Today: 10cm of snow in a freakishly fast blizzard. I had to clear my grand-mother's bungalow though. If someone actually lived in there, I'd be okay with it...

However, rain is expected very soon, melting it all or turning it to ice.

 

[Kylehnat]

Snow! One shot from my bedroom, and the other from my back deck. Should be gone by this afternoon, though (and tomorrow's forecast high is 56 degrees).

I heard about that. it sounds really nice. Starting to wonder why I ever left the place. Maybe we will get a little over christmas. And that is quite a lot for Seattle. I'm impressed.

Out here we had about an inch or two of ice and freezing rain. Great fun for sliding around and rolling down hills in shorts. My knees were purple.

I remember the wind chill must have been in the single digits early in the day but I was surprised how warm it was once it started sleeting. Maybe I just had an adrenaline rush going. And I had to walk back to my dorm at 2 AM in shorts and a Tee shirt because Mr. Genius here's sweatshirt was wet.

Here in ontario we got bombarded with a lot of snow last night. Now it's raining and everything is turning into ice, makes for some splendid driving conditions I might add.

 

[exigeracer]

Call the army!

It's been almost 10 years and that joke still hasn't gotten old.

But seriously, I don't think anyone in this province knows what a plow is...

 

[Casio]

Incredible rain, most I've seen in a long time. 34.6mm so far and it's still coming down. Most roads here have flooded and shops are being closed off to stop water coming in.

Some towns here were like that on Friday-Saturday. But, they'll soon dry up. It's going to be 78 tomorrow, uhhh, later today, and 82 on Tuesday.

How quickly the weather turns here. It was 61 and and a low of 34 just yesterday.

 

[kikie]

Storm is over, no more rain but still a lot off wind.

 

[Joey D]

It's windy and the roads are a solid sheet of ice, took me almost 40 minutes to get to work this morning when it typically takes me 15. The awesome thing is our state is broke so they've reduced the amount of salting and plowing the trucks do keeping them mostly to the motorways.

 

[Philly]

It snowed again last night. Solid half inch or so. And half of the walkways on campus are icy. Basically, enough to cancel school at home for a week.

Speaking of home, they are getting dumped on. 6 inches in 7 hours in places. Lots of Seattle roads are closed due to flooding because the drains can't keep up. Who knew rain could cancel school?

Winter is always a fun time. And global warming only makes it better.

 

[FoolKiller]

Who knew rain could cancel school?

Spring, 1997, my senior year of high school, the Louisville, KY area got tons of rain. My home town of Taylorsville had three feet of water running through the streets. It was something that hadn't been seen since the Taylorsville Lake Dam was built, but because it had happened long before most of the buildings were still built on raised concrete foundations.

No school for a week.
