Sleet & ice--Nasty weather here!

[Jean in Wisc]

All the schools have sent everyone home. The businesses and stores are even shutting down. Today it is suppose to drop from 30 degress to -7 with a wind chill of -30. Wind gusts up to 40mph.

Buttoning down the hatches on the farm.

Brrrrrr....

Here in N. CA it is actually snowing a bit and the ground is dusted white. My inexperienced in the snow kids have been outside tromping around and have officially declared it a snow day. I'm sure they wouldn't object if you could send a bit more snow their way.:D

Brrrrrr....

Oh my! That gives me goosebumps! Yikes. I think it's cold here in my house in San Diego. :o

Did you see my post about wishing I was in Mindy's winter wonderland? The northeaster really gets us here ~ year 'round, actually. Today is not proving as bad as I thought it would be, but if it rains as expected, it'll be a mess.

Stay warm!:)

It's 62 and pouring rain here. Tomorrow, it's supposed to be in the mid 20's. Please keep your snow and ice, though. Thanks. LOL

Schools were closed here in NY today because of ice, of course, not ours;). Ds was taking a test and decided he didn't want to answer the stupid essay question at the end. "But mom, most kids don't even have school today." Who am I to argue? He always completes all of his work and he just turned in a wonderful three page essay for the same class. Needless to say, we skipped the essay question, ended school rather early, and headed straight for the computer games. LOL

OH Jean, that sounds awful. I can't imagine weather like that! We're sitting around in capris and sleeveless shirts. Stay warm and dry, and I sure hope your dh isn't on the road this week.

Our weather is mid 40s right now....suppossed to drop to 8 degrees between the hours of 6- 9pm tonight. We are under a winter storm warning.

I guess Chicago area is under blizzard warning unless they have changed it.

I love winter when you can ski...but when it is wet and rainy or too bone chilling cold to ski it makes winter dreary..... ;(

I used to live in Iowa -oh how I remember! I don't know how my pioneer ancestors made it across the plains! Keep warm Jean!

[DIY-DY]

Oh, my. I cannot imagine how cold that's gonna feel.

You know, we just read On The Banks of Plum Creek, and I thought of you when Ma had to tend to the chores during the blizzard b/c Pa wasn't home. You've got your wood all brought in, right? ;)

It's warm here in Texas, but the WIND!! For a while this morning, it sounded like it was going to blow out all my kitchen windows!

[my4cowboys]

We had this massive storm move in so fast! When I left at 11:15 to pick up my son from a thing, the roads were clear and dry, and by 12:30, when we got home, we had about 5 inches of new snow and literally couldn't see our neighbor's house across the street. The plows hadn't hit the freeways yet and I was so thankful to make it home without incident. It was pretty scary there for a while! I was so glad to have all my little cowboys home, dry and safe with me!

I was comparing our weather to Little House books earlier today in another post. Having work to do outside is a definite added element to the elements.;) What part of the country are you in, Dy?

[Krista in LA]

If it makes you feel any better, we did have lots of rain earlier in the day so it hasn't been a beautiful day, just warm.

[nancypants]

I'm feelin' ya sweety!! It's a windchill of -49 F right now! You have all my empathy! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/posiepie/28_3_5.gif

[MNClaire]

I'm over here in Minnesota. Yesterday it was 48 degrees. Right now it's -3 and still dropping and the wind is horrible. I have workers up on my roof installing an exhaust fan vent...outside, in the country, nothing to block the wind. And....he almost fell off the roof!:eek:

I need a hot shower just to warm up.

[Tammyla]

Stay warm and inside everyone. We're getting blasted here too. Blizzard is now officially a nasty word in my vocabulary.:eek:

[OnTheBrink]

Ok, remember how I said before it was 62 and raining? Make that 38 and icy rain is hitting the windows. I'm thankful I don't have to go anywhere. Icy roads are a mess!
