It's about 45 here in Louisiana. I moved away from the North to escape the cold, what is this bull

Sounds like you succeeded.

Woke up and it was 9 degrees. It's only December 19. WTF?

I had to drive to work in Columbus and Seymour, IN today for the first time in about a month to deliver client Xmas gifts. Holy shit it was cold out this morning. Went to 5 different sites and all have parking in BFE.

Had a record high of 67 yesterday...spring fever starting to kick in!! I'm sure mother nature will come back with a nasty cold spell later this month though to make up for it.

Sun & Mon were great except for the wind gusts. Talking about rain/snow tomorrow so you better control that fever.

Yeah, gusty it was...blew off my pool cover for the first time this year. Which isn't too bad because it came off like 5 or 6 times last year.

Here in the SB area we had record highs of 57 on Sunday and 55 yesterday. It was awesome!

Back to normal temperatures here in MN. Just in time too---things were getting gross and melty.

We got hit with about a foot of snow in the Black Hills yesterday and last night. It's a mess here. It had been sunny and in the 50's earlier in the week.

It was 65 degrees yesterday afternoon here in the WV/Ohio/Pa area and I just went through a snowstorm.
Are ya saying we have Global Warming?....

I know it wasn't freezing but man this tropical storm was a real pain in the ass. We had 6 confirmed tornado's in our area which for us is big time.

Most know obviously by my profile i am a firefighter but i am also a 911 Dispatcher and this morning our shift was on. But huge shout out the the utility guys and gals they rocked today.

 

[Bishop2b5]

It's snowing at my house. Seriously. Two weeks left in summer and it's flippin' snowing in the Black Hills. It was hot yesterday. It's snowing tonight. Really. White stuff falling from the sky. In early September. We are being told we may get as much as 4 inches of it tonight. WTF???

 

[zelezo vlk]

Wow. And I thought it was weird that it'll be in the 70s on Friday

 

[Irish#1]

Appears Mother Nature has smacked a lot of the country with a Winter blast. Got out the snow blower for the first time in three years last night. Got another 4 inches overnight and will have to use it again when I get home. Texans were in for a shock!

 

[NorthDakota]

Other than any serious injuries or hardships...it is a bit fun to see others get lit up by Father Winter from time to time.

 

[mango4]

Where I'm at in South Dakota has maybe an inch of snow on the ground. There's parts of Texas that has more snow right now than we have. I feel like we've barely gotten any snow, maybe a foot all winter. Seems like all the big storms have missed us and we get just a dusting. I've used my snow blower once this year.

I'll take some snow soon but this a week straight under 0 can leave.

 

[zelezo vlk]

We got 5 inches of snow on top of up to a quarter inch of ice. That's not too big of a problem in the grand scheme of things. But the proper authorities did an absolutely awful job of preparing for this. Rolling blackouts that aren't rolling all that much and have generally left people without power for huge periods of time. A coworker has been with his family without power since late Sunday night. And everything is ran on electricity here, just a terrible situation all around. Friday should bring a little relief, but probably not too much. We're supposed to get more snow tomorrow, I think.

And my apartment just said they're cutting off my building's water because plumbers can't get out here. Looks like I'm out of water for possibly the next few days.

Yikes. I’ve been following what’s going on down there and sounds like it was a failure all around by ERCOT

around 10' here. reminder to any newly weds - do your best to not let your wife suprise you with a new snowblower. it likely wont be want you want/need.

luckily we didnt get hit to hard last year so i barely had to use it. It can only handle about 5" of soft stuff and if its super wet and heavy maybe 2/3". so yesterday i went out around noon when there was 1.5" just to try adn keep up with it. worked good. did both my neighbors to try and give them a lil help before it really built up on them. i went back out at 6pm got the driveway done. went to start on the sidewalk and my drive belt snaps. couldnt have even been the 5th time i got it out.

thankfully a solid neighbor came and blew the driveway this morning.

 

[Irish#1]

My driveway is 100' and two cars wide so I bought a pretty decent one. Seems like I had to shovel the driveway all the time until I bought it. Since then it hasn't snowed that much. Go figure. Another wave predicted to hit the same areas, so stay warm and safe driving.

 

[irishff1014]

Texas has snow and North Carolina has a tornados. Interesting.

 

[Ndaccountant]

My A/C is normally set to 22C, but my wife changed it to 21C. Freaking freezing I was. I stepped outside and was introduced to33C and sun. It was an ordeal.

 

[Irish#1]

4 degrees this morning. Ugh!

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

I hope for the best for all you guys slogging it out in this insanity. On a side note and not on anything close to what you guys are seeing, its rained for a two weeks straight here on the coast. Also the daily temperature has typically been around 30-40 in the mornings climbing to 50s during day and back down again.

Two nights ago though it was 30s all day, and then the temp climbed to 70 degrees over night and then back down to 40s by the morning. lol WTF?

 

[Rogue219]

Just looking at my driveway makes me cringe. I've cleared snow off of it so many times in the last three weeks I can't stomach looking at that slab of pavement anymore.

Stay safe man. You and yours are in my thoughts. If they are cutting off water do you have access to it? I generally have several collapsible plastic water containers we fill up every hurricane just in case. Also a few rain barrels if we get in a pinch for bathing and cooking.

I was hoping this would be enough to make the Apostle Islands Ice Caves accessible. We've spent a lot of time below -20 lately and up north it's been even colder.
.
I looked up the statistics for several Texas cities and discovered that their record lows were below 0 for seven months of the year. I can't imagine why the infrastructure isn't designed to handle a little bit of cold, as it's clearly happened several times before and will happen again. Was the money saved on pipe insulation and a durable power grid worth it?

We too have been rather chilly lately.
