So what's the weather like in your neck of the woods?
My in-laws live in Vegas and it's been snowing a lot, I also heard it snowed in Malibu, CA?! That's a beach area, very odd.
It's 57 out here, but foggy. |

Partly sunny & about 70, after something like rain in 7 days of the last 10. Even our overnight lows have only hit mid-50s for the past few days. This is supposed to last until Sunday when it drops to low 50s highs & upper 20s lows.

too cold, too much snow, too much ice. And more on the way. Sounds like another foot or two of snow before this weekend is over.

It has been fucking freezing up here for the last couple weeks. It's a balmy -13 Fahrenheit today (with the windchill it's -33 F), which is sadly warmer than what it was earlier in the week (I think on Sunday it was -56 F with the windchill or something stupid).

It's cold. Hovering just around freezing. We're getting ready for the same "nasssty storm" storm CW mentioned. They are expected 3-5" of snow starting around midnight or 1 AM through the morning and another 3-5" throughout the day tomorrow.
The commute will be awesome!

Storyline is that there will be a nasty storm in Chicagoland. I work about 3 blocks from my house, so no ugly commute home for me.

We are having one of the coldest winters in the last 30 years in Spain, snowing a ton that is not usual here unless at the North. I wonder where is the global warming...

We've been fortunate here in South Carolina, seems along with parts of Georgia and all of Florida to be the only places having nice weather. Temps in the 60's and 70's, some fog in the mornings, a little rain here and there but nothing major.
Looks like the Midwest and then the Northeast are going to be nasty the next couple of days |

As the local ESPN station jokingly labeled it, we were having the "Arctic Apocolypse" for a couple of days...it got all the way down into the upper 20s with very slight freezing precipitation. Yesterday was low 40s with fog. Today, well, I haven't been outside yet but it appears to be mid 40s with a chance of rain.

Snow here, traffic is a mess. I'm staying home also. One of the perks of living here, it doesn't snow enough to have the infrastructure for it, and there's a ton of hills. Place shuts down for days like this.

KC has an ice storm that's expected in about an hour or so. Should be a fun drive home.
The temperature at Arrowhead on Sunday for kickoff is expected to be 3 degrees with a -20 degree windchill. I'm guessing the visiting Miami Dolphins won't be too happy about that forecast. Last edited by Mizzou B-ball fan : 12-18-2008 at 01:06 PM. |

Cold and snowy. The storm in the Chicago area is expected to move north into our neck of the woods, bringing another 10 inches of snow with it (luckily no ice up by me, from what I have heard)

After being colder than normal for much of the last month, we've been kind of trapped in a London/Seattle (non-winter-storm variety) mix of weather the last few days: mid 50s and just socked in with clouds and fog. No heavy rain, but just a lot of misting and drizzling. Supposed to improve tomorrow before I guess the really cold stuff (relatively speaking) comes charging back in here by early next week.

It's nice and crisp during the days, and then cold as balls at night.
Please get warmer at night!

Winter Storm Warning just got issued. Between 4-7" of snow expected between 3am and 6pm CST.
It's a balmy 6 degrees right now. High of 25 forecast for tomorrow. I guess I'd rather have snow now and dry weather on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day so I can go visit friends to the south than the other way 'round. |

after a week of teens and 20 s and a small ice storm on monday, we are getting to 50 on friday. Then comes Sunday with a high expected to be 18 or something stupid. Our weather guy said this was one of the coldest Decembers in St Louis recorded history.

Freezing rain in southwest Chicagoland at the moment. It'll be interesting to see if the vaunted snows they're projecting are going to happen as anticipated or not. I'm fine with it, if it happens...just curious about it.

I think it's in the eye of the beholder, really. My dad's side of the family is virtually all Canadian, and what I've seen so far doesn't really measure up to the winter stories they've told over the years. Ask me again in February. |

The snows have hit here.
There's less than expected, but it's still coming down. My office is "closed", but that doesn't really mean much of anything for me. I may still have to go in, though I'd rather not.

They delayed the opening of the university until 10am today. No students on campus, just staff since finals ended yesterday.
We didn't get much snow, though the freezing rain and sleet and such came at random times. It's not pretty out and I imagine the drivers are doing silly things, but given the hype, it ended up not being much. |

I don't think most of the snow has even hit Chicago yet. We got 10-12 inches of snow and a coat of ice in north east iowa last night and this morning. Everywhere has closed and I'm staying home from work.

We got hit with 8 to 12 inches overnight with another 3-5 expected today. Looks like I will be a bit late going into the office this morning.

Apparently it's going to warm up to -2 F tonight and then snow on us. I'm actually looking forward to it; cold snow is generally fluffy and light and easy to shovel, yet with the slightly warmer temps I might be able to stand at the bus stop for 10 minutes without my wiener going MIA.

Not sure how much we had, probably 8 so far with blowing and drifting.. Car is plowed in by a 3 ft snow bank so, I'm working from home today...
Good news is that with all the blowing, I don't have to rake the roof.

Still snowing here in Chicago. In the past 5 minutes where I am (just north of the city, it's turned from a sort of snow/sleet mix to fluffy snow, which is nicer. I'd estimate we only have about 5 new inches on the ground where I am, but it's supposed to go on for a while.
I got told late in the day yesterday by my client that they would be encouraging people to stay home, so I'm home today. The only major thing I have is a call with senior leadership at 10:30, but that meeting, usually in Deerfield, got switched last night to conference call only. I just looked at our car which stays in the driveway and looks like the early sleet encased it in a block of ice. Luckily I don't need to use it until Monday. Hopefully it'll thaw out by then. ![]() |

One could also do this to keep snow from melting and refreezing back up into the eaves. If you have a well-insulated roof, though, it's usually not a problem. |

Certain style buildings/houses need the snow raked off or they are at risk of collapsing. It isn't a good idea for most roofs to hold several feet deep worth of snow on top of them. I've heard stories about families dying due to roof collapses under the snow. |

Hmm, I wonder if I've been playing with fire (or snow, I suppose) all my life, or if living in the prairies basically eliminates the risk because the wind keeps snow from building up too high? I can't imagine see a house with 'several feet' of snow on the roof, that sounds wild!

My brother-in-law had some ice-damning issues a couple years ago, I forget how he solved them, I didn't think it was with a rake though. Interesting little lessen I'm getting here!
