Snow will become heavy, dropping visibility to near zero in many areas around rush-hour Thursday making for hazardous travel across the entire area.
Gusty winds will also help deteriorate visibility, drop feel-like temperatures below zero and created blowing and drifting snow.
Temperatures will remain bitterly cold as overnight low temperatures remain in the single digits, with wind chills remaining well below zero.

Yep. 9 degrees feels like a Heat Wave! The birds are cleaning out the feeders as fast as I can fill them. The dog (he’s 14!) won’t venture more than 10 feet from the kitchen door. I can’t remember the last time I heard the wind HOWL like this! Oh, wait. It was only LAST winter! ;)
Had to replace my furnace blower motor today - of COURSE it gave out on the COLDEST day of the year, so far! Murphy’s Law.
And I FINALLY got the bathroom sink drain un-frozen with a strategically placed fan and a lot of boiling water.
But, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I HATE heat and humidity. :)
That photo was from last winter.
“That planet has a FEE-ver,”
When yur bay-bee has a fee-vur, you take it to the dock tore.
9 deg. In KC yesterday. Resort temps today, up to 20!
bummer. If you bring it in the house and give it a trickle charge for the night, it should recover. God Bless.
Early January is young man winter time. The hormones rage at that age.
A mere 82 degrees here today. About 10 degrees cooler than normal. Praise the Lord for the cooler weather :-)
Hey Cripplecreek...now that snow’s covered the roof and the wind has died down some...it’s actually warmer in here....I think the snow definately prevents the heat from escaping that might otherwise.
Tonight here it is going to be around 39 here... it hit 59 here...
Snow in Jacksonville tonight.
It is definitely winter here on the Big Island. The tops of both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa (14,500 ft) have a good amount of snow. There is only one licensed snow plow driver in the state, and he goes to our church in Kea’au. Locals will spend a day above the 7,000 level skiing or snowboarding, load the pickup to the gills with snow and then drive down to Hilo and make snowmen in their yards.....followed of course by lunch and then maybe some surfing.
A little background. I spent 30 some years in NE Calif where in winter we burned upwards of 10 cord of wood, the deepest the snow got was 6 feet and the coldest time was minus 38degrees for 3 days straight.
I live in Leesburg, but visiting family in Indiana.....cold. However, I heard that you guys had 35 degree weather on Tuesday.....now that is cold for Florida.
I grew up in North Dakota, so I know about the cold. It is perpetual summer now :-)
I lived in Florida for a time and could barely stand the humidity in their summers, not to mention those nasty Palimino Bugs everywhere!....I remember stepping off the plane and felt a blast like stepping into a sauna!
As I saw it the difference between the North and South was everybody down there went inside for the summer to get away from the heat and humidity like folks up here do when it gets frigid.
If I was to do heat I would prefer a drier heat then the south.
Oh wow! That cold!
My cat, who usually enjoys going out even if it’s snowing has pretty much stayed in ...when He goes out I set the timer for five minutes...he does his business and is back before it goes off!
Are the RV’S designed to withstand the N.Dakota temps and climate?
LOLO at his face full of snow! Cute!
What! Did you say snow is really in Jacksonville! LOL.
My brother shared that happened another winter and cars were piling up all over the place because they don’t know how to drive in snow!
Jacksonville FL got ocean effect snow, second time in 20 years
