It's sunny and low-mid 30's here, so all the snow and ice is melting. Which would be great, except it's suppose to get really cold tonight, meaning all the melting is going to turn to sheet-ice. Fun.

Just to make everyone envious, the weather here in Houston (1/30/09 at 1:15pm Central Time) is,
61F
35% Humidity
Blue Skies
Very light wind 5mph
In fact, we've had pretty good and dry weather since hurricane IKE passed through in September.

We are due some severe weather on Sunday and Monday, snow, snow and even more snow, it is coming in from Russia.
We have had "severe weather warnings" out and it is going to be very cold too.

3:05 AM, EST. 50 degrees F, clear. High tomorrow 60 deg. F. Inland Florida is having a hard freeze, but the ocean makes temps a little milder.

Pretty mild here compared with much of the country. However, we still have snow on the ground where it was piled in December, six weeks ago. That's really unusual.

Many of you may know, some firsthand, that we here in WKY and others along the Ohio Valley were slammed with a severe ice storm Tuesday. Some 150,000 people without power still while only yesterday did temps get above freezing. Ours was restored yesterday, luckily.
I feel for those who're not prepared to deal with such emergency conditions...

We handle snow, wind, wind and snow; but the ice is the worse thing winter can throw at us. Its awful. Good luck to you folks down there.

It is snowing here it has been trying to all morning and now it is getting slightly heavier. The temp has dropped to -2 already and it is ony 15:14pm
Order of Kilopi
Thanks much.
We'd actually settled in for the several weeks predictions they announced at the outset. The kids considered it living "in the old the days" or camping inside; well, me too.
Unfortunately for many they're not capable of keeping their houses warm without power, or even cooking food. Alas... a painful lesson in disaster preparedness and self reliance.
ETA: Ooops, this was meant to follow Veeger's post.

Just prior to your ice storm, we had a major snow storm pass through Sunday - Monday. Perhaps that one was mainly rain for you in WKY. The remarkable thing was for several days in advance they were predicting it and 24 hours in advance they stated it would commence around 4:00PM and end around 4:00PM the following day. They were within a half hour of being dead-on in both predictions. The science of meteorology has made amazing progress in my opinion...and yet we still take it for granted.
btw - many of our secondary streets were still a mess; snow and ice covered. Thankfully, we will break the freezing mark today.

Snowing hard at the moment.

While sunny and melting, we're barely above freezing and expect some snowfall.
I've friends from Paducah & Bowling Green to Owensboro & Louisville without power still.
Damn.

I have the misfortune to live in London, where we've had all of six inches of snow, but enough to shut the city completely down. No road transport, no public transport. So unless something is within walking distance AND worth going out in blizzard conditions for, it seems best to stay in.
Order of Kilopi
six inches is 'blizzard conditions'? And I thought we were soft down here in Central Ohio!
Order of Kilopi
snow.
I like snow.
Order of Kilopi
Part of the problem is word usage.six inches is 'blizzard conditions'? And I thought we were soft down here in Central Ohio!
A lot of people think "blizzard" equates to snowfall.
Officially, a blizzard can occur with no (current) snowfall. Its the cold and blowing that characterizes one.

Left my kitchen window open all night by accident, (fair weather in the daytime) and this morning it was so cold that my coffee mug split in two from top to bottom when I filled it!

Why do I get the suspicion that you're leaving out part about using it up-side the head of some deserving lowlife?
Perhapse it's because between your stories, and your name, I could picture you as the head of some Itallian "family business."

My family is in NKY-Cincy and they were hit with snowfall and very little ice.six inches is 'blizzard conditions'? And I thought we were soft down here in Central Ohio!
Snowfall, even blizzard conditions I can handle, but the ice, the ICE, seemed inches thick and wreaked havoc on my trees, let alone the power grid!

'O4 I think it was when a window was left down on one of our vehicles. The temps swung wildly and minutes after my wife starts the car, turning on the defrost, a crack appeared, running the width of the window.
I say '04 because that was the last time we had similarly intense winter weather in this area; big snows with multiple freeze thaw cycles.

Yeah, we had that up here too. Power outages. Car accidents. Down trees/limbs. My back still hurts from shoveling our 6-car parking area and walkways at the office.
Back in... '05? '06? ish was worse. Same type of storm, just more ice. People were without power for up to two weeks in some areas.
Order of Kilopi
Fazor, get out of my head!
Why just a month and a half ago...
I was just along to leaven the kids out and to keep them from thinking they were tv characters. Just looking out for my friend's best interests. Make sure everything goes like it's supposed to. When the kid driving gets a leadfoot on the way back. I don't say anything until he gets over 70. And then I had to repeat myself. I don't like having to repeat myself. Makes me feel like I'm being disrespected.
Then, of course, he looked me in the face and we did 85 past San Francisco Airport, where the Highway Patrol likes to troll for speeders.
So when we get to the garage, what other option did I have? (Large ashtray though, not coffee cup.)
Order of Kilopi
Scary, for many.
And shows how fragile our society is.
