Blizzard!!!!!!

[khardy57]

I haven't been on for a while. (Had computer probs ) I'm glad you made it home yesterday! How's the weather today?

[Tink]

Winter weather has finally arrived here tonight. It's zero windchill right now with snow forecast for tomorrow night.
I picked up groceries on the way home from work, so we will be able to just hunker down and hibernate should the need arise. I have the next 3 days off, so don't mind not having to go anywhere. Hubby made it home, so we're ready to deal with whatever mother nature throws at us.

It's been -30 to -40 here for the last few days since the blizzard. Today is windy again and it snowed a little more. I'm ready for spring!!!! Next week it's supposed to get above zero (celsius) for a couple of days so hopefully it'll melt a little, at least on the roads!

Lindsey, I'm glad you're home safe. That kind of cold isn't safe to be out in, and if the roads are nasty besides, it's just too risky to be worth going out.

It's supposed to be snowing here but so far nothing. Fine by me! LOL

Keep warm and safe everyone!

I was bragging about sunny California. Well we had snow yesterday also, which is very rare. And it is still real cold. To show how we are not used to it, I'll tell you a story. My hubby took my truck to work yesterday because he ususally drives his Mustang down thru the pass to work, and the truck is a lot heavier incase of ice. He got home fine and we decided to go back down the hill to go shopping today. He wanted to wash off the truck, it was muddy, so we stopped by a do-it-yourself place and he opened the door to get out and dissappeared. The floor was wet and icy and he slid right down on his butt almost under the truck. After I stopped laughing, I yelled, are you okay? He sat there for a minute and then tried to get up while doing a little soft shoe on the ice. The truck got washed off and he got a wet butt and I started the day off with a good laugh. He wasn't hurt, it all looked like it happened in slow motion! So although it is a high of 23* here right now and will be 14* tonight, I would rather be here, lindsey than where you are so much colder. I can't imagine it being that cold.
Stay warm, dry and safe for as long as you can!

Oh yes, the pass...I used to live in California and know exactly that area you are talking about. So glad to hear nobody was hurt.

We are facing an ice storm here in Arkansas. It's freezing here and I too patiently wait for spring.

Rivermom- It was so strange to wake up this morning and find the water pipes frozen to my kitchen! I am a native Southern californian so I haven't experienced this type of thing often. When I pick up poop, they are actually poop-sicles, and my outside trained dogs, stick their heads out of the doggy door and check out to see how cold it is.
Hope you stay safe & warm!

We're getting a nice snowstorm right now. So far there's no more than a couple of inches accumulation, but the forecast is for 7" tonight and more tomorrow.

I took Katie out driving today, since she's scheduled to take her behind the wheel exam on Thurs. She drove over 100 miles total and got to do the last 30 - 40 in the snow. She did ok but was a bit nervous about the road conditions.

I'm glad to just be home and able to stay put for the night.
