What is your weather like now?

[babylonsister]

I'm in southern GA, winds are picking up, supposed to be 30 tonight; that is cold for here.


How ya doin'?

[Agschmid]

1. 8 inches of snow so far, about 9 degrees...

Ugh

[Motown_Johnny]

2. Very cold, the snow is finally ending (Detroit)

The storm heading for the east coast was just here.


The forecast high for Tuesday is 3, and the low is -4.



Extremely cold for us. We don't get into the single digits very often. It has been in the teens for days. Also colder than average for us.

[JeffHead]

3. 14 inches of snow on the ground and about 5 degrees here in northern Illinois.

5 on it's way to -8 tonight. It will be -18 on Monday; that's DAMN cold for here.

[billh58]

4. You guys take

care and stay warm.

[Texasgal]

5. Cold in Austin, TX.

Cold for us anyway... 42 degrees right now but getting colder tonight.

Keep warm everyone!

[babylonsister]

6. You all stay warm! They named this storm? What

do you think about that?

Hercules?

[LiberalElite]

64. NYC here -

20 degrees, wind chill zero. Later wind chills will be around -15. A couple inches of snow so far. I live by a highway and the plows go by at least once an hour. Sanitation Dept. is on it! We can check on the plowing progress through the nyc.gov website.

[Brigid]

104. Freezing. About six inches of snow on the ground.

Right now, the temp is a big fat goosie egg. We got more snow coming on Sunday, and even colder temps for the first half of next week. Heading off to the grocery store today while the getting is good.

[Mariana]

107. The Weather Channel started naming winter storms

so they can try to make them sound all scary and apocalyptic.

[panader0]

7. Gorgeous here in So Az

64 0r 65 degrees in the day, 30 at night, clear, little wind. Great climate here. 4600 feet, no hurricanes, no tornadoes, no floods.
We had a bad (man made ) fire two years ago, but, overall, fablous climate.

[ChazII]

24. Here in Phoenix

and very similar tonight. It is 66 right now (a little after 8 p.m.) and 48 is the predicted low. No snow or windchill factors.

[jwirr]

8. In NE MN it is very cold with a lot of snow and often glare ice on the roads. My grandson just hit a

Last edited Fri Jan 3, 2014, 12:21 AM - Edit history (1)

patch of glare ice coming home from work and rolled his truck - totaled it. But he is alive and I will soon know how bad it is. I had to tell his children what was happening and why he was going to the doctors. He could use prayers and good vibes.

I guess weather does not have to be bad to cause a lot of trouble.

Good news. He did not break anything. The seat belt did a job on his stomach and shoulders and he pulled some muscles so he is on crutches. What a blessing. Thank you all for your concern.

[Tree-Hugger]

13. Prayers for your grandson!

[jwirr]

17. Thank you.

[cbayer]

19. How terrifying.

Glad to hear he is ok and hope he has a rapid recovery.

My thoughts are with you.

[jwirr]

23. Yes, he couldn't tell us what exactly happened. Said that when you are tumbling around in a car all

you think about is surviving. He is in pain but refused to let his children see how bad. He made his own rescue call so I don't think he was unconscious.

[cbayer]

26. It's so scary how quickly things can happen.

I hope you are feeling more settled and that the kids aren't too worried.

[chillfactor]

52. I rolled my truck...

it was totaled......I do not remember the accident at all.....and it took me 6 months to recover..I hope he does better..I was in so much pain they gave me morphine by drip and shots..so I had to kick the morphine addiction as well...

[jwirr]

58. He has a high pain level tolerance but the fact that he asked to be taken to the hospital says it

all. We have one family member addicted to pain meds so I am sure he will want to use a few as he can. His cousin is having a terrible time kicking the habit. I am patiently waiting for someone to call me so I can find out how he is.

[ChazII]

25. Prayers from AZ for the family and his medical team.

[jwirr]

33. Thank you.

[panader0]

62. Hold good thoughts. Keep us informed.

[catbyte]

34. How terrifying. Vibes to all of you.

[MADem]

9. Halfway through a blizzard. Cold as a welldigger's ass. nt

[sakabatou]

10. 52 F, partly cloudy

[femmocrat]

11. Western PA: snow, wind and frigid overnight.

Just got the call... 2 hour delay tomorrow!

[chillfactor]

55. keep an eye out...

you may be able to stay home tomorrow

[femmocrat]

118. Yes!!! Snow Day!

Three-day weekend!

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Don't want to rub it in

we are warm, in the 70s in the daytime

Don't worry, we will pay for this with a wonderful drought.

[cbayer]

14. Mid-sixties after a day in the low seventies.

Clear with a moderate breeze.

In other words, perfect.

[Tree-Hugger]

15. Cold and snowing

We're in the beginning stage of a Nor'easter. It's pretty dang cold. Plenty of snow on the ground and BAD road conditions. My husband is on the way to work and I am praying he is safe.

Tomorrow is supposed to be colder than a witch's tit wearing a steel bra and doing push ups in the snow.

Obviously, this means global warming is a total scam.

ETA: I am in SE PA

[Freddie]

47. Me too

Scary how quick this thing started. I stopped at the store at 4:20, nothing yet. Snowing heavily 10 min. later and the roads were totally covered by the time I got home at 5. I work for a school and already got the magic robo-call but DH's work never closes so he has to deal with it in the AM.

[Tree-Hugger]

67. You might be interested in this local site...

Are you on Facebook? You might want to check out these guys:

https://www.facebook.com/easternpaweatherauthority?fref=ts

Their website is http://www.epawablogs.com

They are very consistent in accuracy. I've been following them for a few years and they have a very good track record and are typically more accurate and level-headed than local weather outlets and The Weather Channel.

[GP6971]

16. Western WA.....mid 40s & rain. n/t

[bravenak]

18. It's so nice out here right now.

About 30, piles of snow in the ground, light snow flurries, and no wind chill. Feels like springtime in Anchorage tonight. I'm not even wearing my coat, just my Columbia fleece.

[Skip Intro]

20. Getting cold quick, windy -

Charleston SC area

[scarletwoman]

21. Fucking cold. (east central MN)

It was -13 when I got home from work at 5 pm, it's much colder now - will probably get close to -30 (air temperature, not wind chill) tonight.

[meow2u3]

22. Eastern PA: snowing and freezing

We're supposed to have a low in the single digits. Tomorrow, my town is expected to have a high of 13 and a low below 0.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

27. Snowing here in D.C. Temperature is supposed to drop overnight to about 21 degrees tomorrow.

With wind chill, it'll be much worse.

[Cadfael]

28. At 9:10:37 pm Chicago metro area (collar county)

4°F
Feels like -6°
Humidity 85%
Pressure 30.35" & rising
N wind 5 mph gusting 22mph N

Predicted overnight low -7° F

Even worse, predicted Monday high(!) of -9°F

Damned clipper + lake snow just dumped over a foot on us.

[XRubicon]

29. 74 now...

I need some winter. It is going to get down to 61 tonight.

[catbyte]

30. 3F & partly cloudy in SW lower MI. Points south of us got a foot of snow.

[hrmjustin]

31. Snowing heavy with strong winds. 3 inches have fallen in 4 hours here.

The winds are helping me with the shoveling.

[babylonsister]

42. You found a warm spot!

[hrmjustin]

60. Lol! I will be fine.

[shraby]

32. Along the lake in Manitowoc co, WI it's -6 degrees. Had a couple inches last night, but no snow

tonight.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. -4 in Minneapolis, supposed to get down to -15 tonight.

Predicted wind chill -36.

[babylonsister]

44. Holy shit! Are you tucked in? nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

45. I'm under a pile of cats.

But this isn't all that cold, at least compared to 20-30 years ago.

[legcramp]

49. Boy, I'll say. New Years Eve 1977 at our "cabin up nort" near Walker Mn

our furnace went out when the propane tank froze up. That happens at about -42 degrees.

Then in Feb 1996 I was chaperoning a group of 6th graders from the Mounds View school district up at the Laurentian Environmental Learning Center near Tower Mn. It got down to a record -60 degrees on Feb 2nd.

Now days you guys still up there have it easy. 20-30 years ago it could be hell. But it's still plenty chilly.

I left for Arizona and don't ever look back.

Tower set the Minnesota record for coldest temperature on February 2, 1996, when the temperature dropped to -60°F (-51°C). This was the lowest temperature ever recorded in the United States east of the Great Plains. Tower and the Embarrass Valley to the south are the coldest inhabited locations in the Lower 48 states, based on average winter temperatures

[madrchsod]

74. i live in northern il and that year the wind chill was around -70 at the farm i lived at

fun times was`t it......

i`m waiting to see what this weekend brings.

[2naSalit]

89. Oooh, gosh

I lived in northern IL back then and that was a rough time for winter!! The cold and big snow was a combination of winter I wasn't ready for back then. Now I live in a place where that's just normal for at least a few weeks out of every winter... and I love it here.

[Historic NY]

36. 8 degrees and snow intensifying in upstate (60 miles north) NY city

wind chill -7 at midnight the main east-west interstate will be closed, and the north to northwest interstate will be closed to at least 5am.

[distantearlywarning]

37. 67 here in the Sunshine State

Was a high of 81 earlier today.

I recently moved down here from the Northeast, and I gotta say that I am sooooo damn happy to be here right now instead of where I used to live! I threw away my snow shovel and my ice scraper and I haven't looked back for one second. It's so nice I think we might open the bedroom windows tonight.

(Might be missing it round about next July, though, when I'm sweating my ass off in swampy mosquito infested nastiness...)

[bobja]

38. It was hellish here today in San Diego

i was delivering flowers as a part time job. It was very and mid to upper 70's today all over town. I like it little cooler. I had to zip off my North Face pants to feel comfortable. It's a shorts, t-shirts and sandals day here! Yee haw!

[tammywammy]

39. A chilly 36 in North Texas.

At least there's no ice.

[bobja]

40. It was hellish here today in San Diego

I was delivering flowers as a part time job. It was mid to upper 70's today all over town. I like it little cooler. I had to zip off my North Face pants to feel comfortable. It's a shorts, t-shirts and sandals day here! Yee haw!

[safeinOhio]

41. 9, real feel -16 n/t

[Rowdyboy]

43. Central Mississippi 33 dropping to 23 later tonight....heading into next week, highs in the 30's

lows in the teens

[Thor_MN]

46. It's no degrees in Minneapolis.

Supposed to be a bit warmer for a couple days then the thermostat gets turned OFF. Supposed to be a HIGH of -16 on Monday.

I invite anyone describing 40 degrees and over as cold to come to Minneapolis and lick a flagpole.

[Omaha Steve]

48. Inch of snow yesterday severe cold on the way wind chills from 20 below to 40 below zero

http://www.omaha.com/article/20140102/NEWS/140109784/1685#frigid-weather-expected-this-weekend-could-produce-wind-chills-from-20-below-to-40-below-zero

Frigid weather expected this weekend could produce wind chills from 20 below to 40 below zero

By Nancy Gaarder

Homeless shelters already are geared up, trash collectors will do their best and school officials will monitor forecasts closely.

Bad as the weather is now, it's going to get worse.

Dangerously cold Arctic air will arrive this weekend.

By early Monday morning, the temperature in Omaha could bottom out at 10 degrees below zero or worse. Wind chills of 20 to 40 degrees below zero are possible, said Brian Edwards, meteorologist with AccuWeather, The World-Herald's weather consultant.

FULL story at link.

[2naSalit]

90. Here's a visual to go with that...

Pretty toasty in the Rockies for once.

[JNelson6563]

50. 2 degrees. Might get some snow. Northern MI.

We don't usually get a whole lot of snow when it's this cold. We've gotten a lot of snow this year so far though. 58" or something like that last I checked.

Julie

[babylonsister]

80. 58" of snow? Sounds horrible to me, but

whatever floats your boat. The laundry would suck, I think. Smooches to you!

[JNelson6563]

112. It can be difficult.

If we get a lot at once getting around is a bit challenging. But these days where we get a couple/few inches every day aren't too bad. We're rather used to it. It's the bitter, bitter cold temps that are unbearable right now.

We are on course to top the record this year. The mounds of snow at the ends of driveways and streets are getting rather large to see around in order to pull out into traffic. Other than that, not too bad. Good for our ski resorts and such. Lots to do here...skating rinks, ice fishing, snow mobiling and skiing. Personally I like a cozy fire and a nice glass of wine.
So many ways to enjoy winter in northern MI! And it is really beautiful!

Julie

[Journeyman]

51. South California. ("Oh I wish, I wish it would rain. . .") . . .

[riverwalker]

53. -20F

Spent the day ice fishing, cozy warm fish house. Two little granddaughters caught fish and even played in the snow.

[TheMightyFavog]

54. Cold.

Relief will come Friday and Saturday, but we shall see a major arctic blast cover Wisconsin Sunday. It's the major reason the playoff game is under threat of blackout. People don't want to sit in subzero evening temperatures to see the 49ers stomp us into the ground.

[JVS]

56. Cold

[NutmegYankee]

57. 8°F Heavy snow.

[Skittles]

59. last night I heard the wind, woo wooing for hours

I haven't heard that in a long time

[Snarkoleptic]

61. In NW suburban Chicago, we just dug out from under 13" of snow.

Tonight will have a low of -9, Sunday night is forecast to drop to -18.
Monday is going to be brutal as Weather Channel is saying the daytime high will be -11 with 17 mph winds (for a wind chill factor or around -40).
Wish I could afford a trip to Orlando.

[babylonsister]

68. Wow. Are you okay?

Sounds really sucky, but keep in touch, please!

[Snarkoleptic]

109. Doing fine, thanks!

It's a matter of wearing layers (and layers and layers).
Hopefully the area schools will be shut down due to the cold on Monday.

[customerserviceguy]

63. Nice dusting of snow, probably 3-4 inches

and ass-freezing temps, my thermometer says 11.5 out in the backyard. Supposed to get more snow and lower temps in the midnight to 5 AM time. My company already declared a 10 AM start, my guess is that they will just call it a snow day when I check in with their website after 8 AM.

I miss the mild winters of the west side of the Pacific Northwest...sigh...

[panader0]

65. Malaise??

[yewberry]

66. Rainy, 50 in Seattle.

Pretty gloomy week predicted here, missing my family in New England... they're darned cold, but sledding with the kids until the temps get too cold!

[H2O Man]

69. Very cold,

with lots of snow here in rural upstate New York.

[babylonsister]

73. Hi, friend! Stay warm! nt

[dylan33]

70. Weather

-3 in mid michigan

[Blue_In_AK]

71. Warm, 28 degrees.

Partly cloudy and no wind.

[Beacool]

72. Warm, upper 70s.

I'm currently in South Florida.



On the other hand, my home in NJ is under a snow storm.

[babylonsister]

75. I love and thank you for responses! xoxoxox nt

[msongs]

76. 75 breezy, scattered showers. sun just set . gonna be another coooooold night :-) nt

[ohheckyeah]

77. Very windy

and very cold here in Virginia.

[Viking12]

78. Currently -4, -19 windchill

-10 w/ -35 windchill expected in the morning

[darkangel218]

79. Very windy here, theyre saying it will drop down to lower 50s tonite

[laundry_queen]

81. 33F, freezing rain

Near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Supposed to start snowing later, and the temps are supposed to drop drastically tomorrow until we hit -15F in the evening.

That's been the pattern this year. Warm (for us, lol), freezing rain, then drastic drop with tons of snow, cold snap, then warms up (Chinook) and we get freezing rain again. ugh. The roads are the shits. I've never seen so much snow in this area as I have in the last few years. Growing up we were very dry in the winter with tons of Chinooks. Now, our Chinooks are wimpy and it snows or rains every time the temperature shifts a few degrees. There's more snow here than when I lived up north! crazy.

[Vashta Nerada]

82. Well, here in west central MN, it's supposed to be a low of -30 degrees F on Sunday.

Not wind chill. Actual temperature. And it's supposed to be windy.

[MannyGoldstein]

83. About 250 degrees outside my window

Kelvin. Makes it feel warmer.

Snow. Snow.

#%^*.

[Egalitarian Thug]

84. According to my thermometer, it hit 69 today here.

This is the time of year to be here.

[Warpy]

85. Not bad, freezing so my feet are starting to get a little cold but otherwise peachy

Unfortunately, this seasonably warm pattern is also a dry one and we need moisture desperately, especially on the mountains. California is going to be in tough shape again next summer if we don't start getting it.

The wet summer and fall have made for a bumper crop of mice coming in. I've offed 20 of them so far. Those electronic traps are great and more humane than a snap trap that often just gets a leg instead of breaking the critter's neck.

[babylonsister]

87. Dammit, Warpy!

Wet summer here in GA, too, but no mice-yet. No heat there? More socks?

[colsohlibgal]

86. Awful

Here in Central Ohio we got a few inches of snow today and the thermometer is heading south. We'll get another snowstorm in a couple of days then our temperature is going way south of zero, a projected 13 below one night soon. I hate it so much. I have no idea how people make it in places like Minnesota in winter. I have an indoor tennis match Monday and a clinic Tuesday, I'm hoping the club cancels those events.

This is so reminiscent of the little ice age we had here in the late 70s, I recall it going below zero at night for I believe 12 straight days in the 76/77 winter, then the next winter we had the legendary January blizzard, basically a winter hurricane.

I'd like to wake up to May tomorrow but know we have a long trek to get there.

[Douglas Carpenter]

88. 83 degrees F- overcast and cloudy with scattered showers

Saipan

[babylonsister]

92. No WAY!

You live there? I used to live in Guam; been there, done that! Enjoy!

[cyberswede]

91. -8 with a wind chill advisory tonight.

By Monday, the high will be -5, the low -20. Brr!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

93. CAF...

Cold as fuck!

28° and still dropping.

[SCUBANOW]

94. I'm cold.

[Hekate]

95. 50 degrees tonight and bone dry. Rainfall this year is at 19% normal for my town, 22% for the county

That's a bit over an inch of rain.

Sorry, our concerns are a bit different! I am grateful as all get-out to not be freezing under a ton of ice and slush.

All you folks in the cold parts of the country stay warm and safe, please.

[PDJane]

96. It's so cold in Toronto that the streets are dry and white.

We have been getting snow, off and on, but it's not accumulating much. The temperature here is -20C, with a wind chill of -30C or -22F. By Sunday, it will be -1C during the day, -3C at night.......and then it is going back down into the deep freeze for a couple of days, back to normal for a couple of days, back down..........you get the picture.

I wait for the good days and get groceries and so on. I did have to go out yesterday for the necessities of life....nearly froze going up the street to get milk, bread, fruit, butter and so on. I'm trying not to do so again!

[Jamaal510]

97. Sadly, there has been no rain in the O for weeks.

Just a dry and mild winter.

[B Calm]

98. Colder than a Well Diggers Ass in Indiana

[Brigid]

105. Get ready for more.

More snow coming in on Sunday, and really low temps for next week. I'm off to the grocery store today while the getting is good.

[gaspee]

99. Blizzarding

And the wind is howling here in coastal New England - freezing spray and cold, cold, cold!

[democrank]

100. -9 below

103. -9. but I'll be at Packers/49ers game Sunday. pray for me.

[Siwsan]

106. Minus 10 in Flint, MI, this morning

Maybe more snow tomorrow and/or Sunday. It looks like after Monday, things will start to I improve.

[CFLDem]

108. Upper 40s, breezy, natives in full winter regalia.

[hobbit709]

110. Cold for Austin 29°

[magical thyme]

111. -6.4, wind, tiny horizontal snow

It was supposed to go up to -3 or something last night, but I don't think it ever did. Snow is supposed to stop sometime later this morning or noontime or so.

Extended forecast shows it will jump to 30s on Sunday with freezing rain overnight and then 45 degrees and rain on Monday and back down to 12 Monday night.

So I'll be clearing a lot of snow away on Sunday.

I moved into the family room the day before Christmas Eve due to ice taking out power. Looks like that's going to be the theme this winter.

[rurallib]

113. -12 last night (Thurs - Fri) will warm over the weekend

til the bottom drops out Sunday night. -22 expected that night and then a warming trend.
ETA - eastern Iowa.

[Jenoch]

114. It warmed up overnight in Minnesota.

Last night it was about -10° and this morning it's up to about -3° in the Twin Cities. The whole state is warming up. It was -33° in Ely (NE Minnesota) last night and they are -2° now. The cold will return on Sunday.

[adirondacker]

115. -12, -30 windchill, 12 inches of fresh powder that is dry enough to be comparale to the Rockies.

-20 tonight.

Chickadees are in full puff mode at the feeder.

[RebelOne]

116. It is 26 degrees in the metro Atlanta area with a high of 36 predicted.

On Tuesday it will be 29 with a low of 13.

[greytdemocrat]

119. VERY windy last night.

50 this morning in SW Florida. Still went for a walk in shorts.

[jpak]

120. It hasn't got above 0 F for 2 days here in Maine.

But it's a "dry cold" - lol

[maddezmom]

121. 13.4 up from -4.4 this am

[polly7]

122. It's only -13C here but

the snow is so frigging deep in my yard I just did a face-plant in it going outside to plug my car in. I couldn't see the steps in the dark, the snow is over-top them, and I missed the last one. Obie, my dog thought it was great fun and jumped on me ... what kind of dog thinks humans like to wrestle in the snow?! I keep shoveling them off, they keep disappearing. And now I just saw we have a blizzard warning.
