Could we build a wall a few miles high on the Canadian border at least? Heavens forbid we build one on the Mexico border.
Godspeed and I reiterate ... brrrrr.
Southwest Iowa. Windy cold and snowing. 8-10 here only though. lol. ONLY!
Ummm. Haven't you gotten the memo? Since a lefty went to the North Pole to prove how much global warming is melting everything and came back with frostbite (what a ditz) it's no longer global warming, it's 'climate change' so they can cover all the bases. (true story)
Get with the program, program!! ;)
*mutters sob*
We filled the bird feeder for the birds last night before all this started and sprinkled some on the ground for the local squirrel that lives in a tree right outside our front window. Poor little things.
It hasn’t really been as bad as we were hearing it was going to be. We have a bit of wind, but thank goodness it’s dry out there. The temp is down a lot from yesterday—but it is winter, so I suppose that’s to be expected.
Tat's an UGLY picture!
I’m in the north end of that dry slot currently and I would say I have about 18” now.
The back side is going to whip around and whack me good. I just hope it blows the snow OFF the boat dock roof instead of blowing it over. The boat is in it on a lift and I would be really ticked.
I am not going to shovel the steps down there and go out on the dock. Falling in the water kept open by my de-icer would be a touch cold at 12 degrees and good wind.
I’m in Illinois 50 miles SW of Chicago. I wasn’t trying to be rude or bossy, just thought it would be helpful if we all put our state in our posts as we posted weather updates!
Hard to believe it is still pulling moisture from the Gulf at this point. No wonder they are saying snow all nite for most of us!
I’m glad to see the almost clear sky, but that means quicker cooling off later. We will get some heat from the lake water since the wind is from the NW. The wife talked about letting our two cats into the laundry room tonight instead of making them stay in the garage.
You can already see it whipping around on that map, you are in for a second hit!
Hope your hubby gets home safely. That is one of the first things I thought of today was about my poor mailman!
>>Poor little things.
I know. The snow is up to my waist from previous storms (CT) and I can’t get to the birdfeeder or shed where I keep the feed, so I haven’t be able to feed the birds since mid-Dec.
We are supposed to get another 18” of wet snow, but possibly freezing rain (which would be worse IMO). Glad I cleared the roof of the 2-3 feet up there.
Stay safe everyone.
In anticipation of the second hit, I took the lull to fill the big bird feeder after knocking the snow off and out of it.
I now am the most popular human in the little cove. Thirty to fifty birds flying in and out constantly.
Thank you! Same to all who are in the path of Snowmageddon! : ) Stay safe!
Here in Indy we’re getting bb size ice pellets.
That’s great because they don’t stick on trees or power lines.
(last night’s freezing rain built up about a quarter inch on everything)
Hopefully it stays in the pellet form for the duration of the heaviest precip.
Winds are 20-30 mph.
No flights in or outbound at least until tomw.
Hope yours stays pellets too and you don't lose power.
You do what I used to although none of them camped on the property that I know of. One of our sweetest cats is from a family who take care of an outdoor cat famliy.
