Anybody seen that worldwide weather expert Al Gore lately, and his global warming lies? ::pullhair::
It's bad enough down here when we aren't used to this, but you folks up north - STAY SAFE
We dodged a bullet yesterday, temps just above freezing, weatherman [?] off in prediction I guess, but today when I got up it was 25 and as he said temps are dropping.  Down to 20 already and have only been up hour and a half.  No snow yesterday, but rain, now frozen with some roads closed.  Tonight they are saying 6 degrees then wind 20-30 mph, so could feel like 8-10 below, below freezing for the next 60+ hours, and possible power loss in areas.

It's -14oF now, and it's falling. It will be all day, to about -20oF tonight, according to the weather wonks. Wind chill about -45 right now.

My wife has a doctor's appointment, but I'm not gonna go anywhere, except to take out the garbage for tomorrow morning. I need to blast off a little snow in the driveway, but I can do that when I take the garbage down to the street.

Yeah I share the curmudgeonly sentiment against this whole naming winter storms thing. I figure it to be part of the modern media culture's need to make everything sensational, and the collective narcissism of our age needing to believe we're the first to ever endure this or that.

Everything is a mass freak out now.

Yep.  Central NC counties considering canceling school tomorrow -- expecting temps down to 9 degrees tonight, well below freezing in the morning and throughout the day.  Starting the buses appears to be an issue, and having the chirruns chilling their buns at the bus stops.

The idiots also constantly give us wind CHILLS, and not the AIR temperatures.

Naturally.  They like to go with the most sensational angle.  In the summer they'll report the heat index.  I wonder if summer heat waves are going to start getting their own names too?

It's a toasty -0-F here in York Co, PA. Breathable but not pleasant.

+4 headed to 17, then it's going to keep on rising, all night, to the 30's tomorrow.

Almost back to normal here; 18 last night up to 32 now, but expected according to weather guessers to make the high 30's-low 40's today.
