This will be interesting.......

I just watched the national news and it looks like the biggest threat is the ice, which will sweep from T X across the south, skipping FL.

The news showed an incredible shot in MI, likely the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, horizontal blowing winds. How's our members there holding up?

-51 in Duluth, MN

a shot outside a grocery store somewhere in the East, with a line of people standing in the snow, that stretched around the block.


Interestingly, this storm lacks a name. What happened to naming every major rain?

Edit: 46 F here with clear skies

Well it is here. Just a dusting of fine snow and bitter cold so far.

Hopefully, that's all for ya. My sis in Cleveland just texted a pic of the weather there ...

Everything is getting pretty white around here, so far all snow & no freezing rain. Local news is showing right now we're right on the line, freezing rain barely south of us but headed up our way soon... All ya'll be safe

Sleet and freezing rain forecast overnight, Hoping the power stays on.

Well, 14 mi. south of I-40 & we've been lucky so far. Less than 2" snow Sat., no freezing rain or sleet. Opened door and looked out this morn. and water dripping everywhere, off the eves, off the autos, off trees. Can see a little ice on trees, Nothing like what the Nashville news is showing. I don't have an outside thermometer but got to be way warmer than Nashville's 32 degrees... News says getting worse all day, Hope they are wrong.

20 miles South of me they are having significant icing on trees and power lines. Hope it stays to the South.

In the few days before this snow, our western skies (AZ) were so full of "white lines", you could hardly see any blue at all. This lasted for about 4 days before the ice storm development was broadcast. Those lines blew over to the east... Then this! Draw your own conclusions... Just thought you should know...

Due to the extreme cold weather forecasted for the next few days, Wal-Mart is requesting that customers wear 2 pairs of pajama pants when shopping at their stores!

...............and if it turns really bad they will suggest that you also put on shirts to go with your jammies. LOL

61 and sunny in Phoenix, but that's the reward for surviving the brutal summers.
The photos from around the country looking like a hellscape. Hope all you who are affected stay safe.

88 degrees here in the Everglades, back down to 37 tomorrow night. As mentioned earlier, I've been through some pretty heavy snow and ice storms which is why I am where I am.

Hopefully everyone comes out safe, the biggest risk comes from driving, then falling branches and even whole trees not to mention live power lines on the ground. Other than that it probably sucks pretty bad being without heat and electricity if you're always used to having it.

Just look closely for alternating red streaks, even if they are faint.

White lines with a bit of red is perfect for Peppermint candy canes! !

I believe they named it "Fern"

[marvinsc]

Final total of snow/sleet here 7.25", now dealing with below 0 wind chills as actual air temp is in the single digits. So far, so good here at home, warm, dry, and no frozen pipes. A little preparation goes a long way in events like this. Weather people are saying another storm is building for next week but further South.

Everything is normal here in New Buffalo Michigan.
