What is Your Weather?

[Johnny West]

Stay safe, John!

We are fine here. We went to Madigan so I could get meds and Nancy went to craft center for a bit. Traffic at that one wasn’t bad and only intermittent showers. I did run into a sleet storm this afternoon but last only a few minutes.

 

[Johnny West]

Long story but did a drive to Puyallup army satellite pharmacy and power is out all over with crews working. The strip mall army pharm was closed. Traffic was horrible with traffic lights not working at several locations. By the time I got to my street Tacoma Power was working on lines coming in to our neighborhood. While I was as gone Nancy moved furniture so I could build a fire. I’m using pressed logs and they are not easy to ingnite. I went out and brought in a bundle of reasonably dry store bought wood and it took off. It’s getting cozy in the family room. This probably the first fire I’ve made in 4-5 years.

I miss this! Haven't had a fireplace since I was a kid, when my dad built fires all winter long. Wish I had one!

Today is going to be warmer, then comes the wind, then a flash freeze over the next couple of days.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Looks to be a warm Christmas

Slight dusting of snow last night.

The real feel is currently minus 17.
Ty was supposed to go to the bad pile up around Grand Rapids, MI..
But he declined, thank God.

I saw that on Facebook. Nasty!

Yep, but he's going to be out probably half the night with "Noah" (the big truck) ditch diving and towing cars with dead batteries.
Locally!

I was promised snow. I dusted off my car this morning and went to lunch. The snow,which resembled a smattering of tossed flakes, was melted by noon.

37 for the high today.

 

[Sass Muffin]

We might get slammed on Saturday.

Then....

 

[SilverSage]

You really don't want to know. There is no danger to the iguanas.

 

[fingercuffs]

I live in the desert so don't really get freezing weather other than the odd frosted up windscreen but we pay flipside with a ton of the summer being 115f every day.

State of emergency declared.

[SilverSage]

Someone has to live here.

 

[Sass Muffin]

Governor DeWine has declared Ohio under a state of emergency.
The heavy snow isn't even arriving here until later tomorrow morning.
Well after I've gotten home from work.

That's good to hear, Lora! I am sorry for the nursing staff and all essential personnel everywhere that has to work during these big storms!

I used to live for it. I had a 4x4 truck and always got the call to come in and usually double shifts.

To hear the news, one would be expecting snow-mageddon. The grocery stores are slammed. No tp, milk, eggs, bread, or ice cream. Reality is that we are expecting around 4 to 6 inches overnight and perhaps up to 4 inches tomorrow. In the midwest, this would be called flurries.

Osha is snuggled on my lap waiting to see a snowflake.

 

[Sass Muffin]

I'd say we got about 4 inches as of right now, and it's only just starting to get bad.
