weather - Page 6

I just heard sleet, snow and some freezing rain. I am not going out! But..it will be in the low 30's, high 20's for the rest of the week, snow, snow and so on. That's fine! I think I have gotten used to winter here. People are talking about it being so snowy this January. I guess???? The thing is, it doesn't hinder us that many days. The roads are clean, and having the Subaru is wonderful!

Of course, the fact that I don't have to go out if the weather is bad, makes the whole situation so different. It's like I'm in a different movie than if I had to go to work!

No joke, I can't stand the cold.

Could you move, Jessica? I picture you looking like the Michelin Man!!!

We were out of school for three days too and I really didn't think the kids should have gone back when they did. The roads are still not very clear to have the school buses out running. We're suppose to get more snow next week. I haven't heard if we're suppose to get much or not so I guess we'll see. We ARE having some really cold weather though......bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

We were out 3 days last week too. When we went back on Friday...the roads were bad, but the buses handle it so much better than being in a car. Today...Rick and went to town. I needed to get the rest of Mom's meds and get a few groceries. We couldn't hard see all the way to town because of whiteout conditions. Even in town there were whiteouts.

We were suppose to get 2-4 inches of snow, but we got more like 6 on top of the 3 inches of ice/sleet and 3 inches of snow we already had. Monday they are calling for 1-3 more inches of snow. This has really got to stop....I'm not a snow fan as most of you know. I love being at home....but not being stuck at home.

Hopefully the roads will be cleared off quickly.

We are having a very cold period...in the single and double digits, but this weekend.......it's predicted to be in the 40's......yay!!!! gotta do a happy dance!!!

We've been nice and warm all weekend but are going into the deep freeze (for us) for a couple of days, then it is supposed to be nice by the weekend again. Our only problem is that we may have freezing rain tomorrow -hope not, as the Austin drivers are NUTS in the snow and ice!

paula1961 · 02-08-2011, 05:34 PM

Hope you don't get that nasty weather Gayle but I saw on the news earlier that you are supposed too........

We had flurries all day today and cold cold cold....it's 25 right now..supposed to get down to about 18 tonight and tomorrow 1-3 inches of snow.

gja1000 · 02-08-2011, 07:37 PM

Our nasty weather is supposed to come tomorrow. Hope it comes early enough so they cancel our 10:00 meeting, otherwise, I'll be at school when the ice comes and trying to get home while avoiding the CRAZY DRIVERS who will be trying to HIT my car!

Blueyes · 02-08-2011, 07:54 PM

Our weather is supposed to be like yours tomorrow Gayle. I'm supposed to get my eyes checked but I'm sure I'll cancel.
My bedroom is on the front of the house and I have 3 huge windows that face the road. The last time we had ice/snow I opened the blinds, piled up in bed with the dogs, and watched people sliding up and down the road

It doesn't take much to amuse me. I just watched it snow and told the cars "slow DOWN, you're going to slide right in to my house"

judy · 02-09-2011, 07:16 AM

I can't discuss the snow anymore!!! There seems to be no end! It's the ice that is dangerous.

Spring, please come soon!!!

Janet · 02-09-2011, 10:44 AM

I'm with you Judy....I am so ready for spring. Our temps are suppose to be in the 40's this weekend and I sure hope a lot of it goes away. The roads are pretty clear now with just a few slick spots...highways are fine. I need more sunshine!

paula1961 · 02-09-2011, 03:29 PM

It's snowing here right now. Winter weather advisory till 7 am. They are giving 1-3 inches but I doubt we get much. I'm with you girls...so ready for spring!

JJJ · 02-09-2011, 03:30 PM

Temperature is going down again

gja1000 · 02-09-2011, 08:52 PM

It's supposed to get down to 19 tonight. Brrrrr! That's too cold for me! I know you all up north have to put up with lots colder weather - but down here we don't have the clothes or wherewithall to put up with such temps!

DianaB · 02-10-2011, 02:48 PM

Our temp was -10 this morning when I got up.....the good news is that it's suppose to get really warm for the next few days........so this beautiful snow is going to turn into ugly ol' slush.......

gja1000 · 02-10-2011, 03:31 PM

How do you keep your pipes from freezing when it is so cold??
