... WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST FRIDAY...

A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST FRIDAY.

WEST WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH WILL DEVELOP BEHIND AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT TONIGHT. IT WILL REMAIN BLUSTERY ON FRIDAY WITH WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH CONTINUING THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY.

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WIND GUSTS OF 45 MPH OR HIGHER ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT... ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION.

=================================

But I'm OFF as of 3 AM.  No coming in tomorrow night!!!  Good thing, too.  Gonna be FREAKIN COLD, and when you figure in the WC, it's -10 with wind chill this morning, and -20 tomorrow.  Good weekend to catch up on inside stuff, do a couple extra loads of laundry, etc.

Cold again this morning, but no precipitation expected until early next week.  Nothing above freezing until next week either.  :censored:  Off to work I go.

It's low-single digits now here, with a high of 13 (great number, BTW) expected.  Winds at 20-25 mph sustained, with gusts up to 40 mph.  Wind chills to be -15.  Decent weather. :-)

Oh--on a sidebar.  I got my 3-month AA coin last night.  Also was the featured speaker at a meeting for the first time.  Scary, but I had to do it.  I chair a meeting in two weeks.

Congrats on the 3 months, BSS.

I'm headed off for a 3 day weekend at one of the kid's places.  Have grandkids there.  Weather seems to be clear, so I'm looking forward to the drive, too.

Have a good one!

Congratulations BlueState!

I don't know why, but this week has felt really long.  I'm so glad that it is Friday.  No exciting weather today.  High in the 50's with a chance of rain.

Temperature 12 degrees and wind roared about the place all night. 

Sun is out and most snow gone for now.    Furnance is working very hard to keep house at 70 degrees,

Not a good night for my critters, they ALL tried to to climb under the covers on the bed, the wind scared them.

My eldest dog MR, Fug don't look too good, he has to be at least 18 years old, he just lays about sleeping most days.

Me, I am just waiting to join a club for handi capped people to go out Kayaking in the spring---will it ever get here.?

The tree and electrical line icing wasn't that bad here. We've got mostly sleet and snow. SW and SC OK have massive electrical outages.

Gonna hang here today, watch the news coverage and make a big meal for lunch. I'll venture out into this mess tomorrow.

Way to go BSS!

Lots of rain.  No ice, the temp is hovering in the Mid 30's.  I tell ya, if it had been colder, Big D woulda been shut down with all the wet we have had for the last 24 hours.  Fortunately, that didn't happen. 

Should dry up tonight, and sunny and cold weekend.  And, I don't have to go to work on Monday.  WOOHOO!

My thermometer says it's 33 degrees.  It is still raining.  This could go either way around here.

Nice job on the coin! (I won't use the cheers smiley  :evillaugh:)

------------

Southern Nevada will see calm winds, sunshine and a high of about 64. This will continue through next week.

I work later today, from about 2 to 10....I like working that shift, as I can get alot done the last hour when we are not so busy with customers. We have been slammed at work, which results in job security. Our sales continue to grow.

Waiting on the rain/sleet/snow to show up. So far there's been nothing....not a drop or a flake. But everyone is closing their doors in expectation-including several city/county courts and all the kids are out of school including several community colleges. All the local channels have been interrupting for weather updates. Right now the local ABC channel is doing a half hour "special weather broadcast".... :mental:

No reports to do, so will be finishing up some laundry and I think I'm going to make some sloppy joes for dinner. Haven't had them all winter... :drool:

Congrats, man.  Keep it up!

Currently 14 degrees at noon, 30 mph winds, gusts over 40.  I love New Hampshire when I can't even get my sliding door open to let the dog out.  And springtime is going to be fun, clearing out all the branches/twigs/crap.  Remind me why I did all that yardwork last fall, please?

  I'm picking up a six month coin in a couple weeks.  This is my second time around unfortunately.  Went about 2 1/2 yrs the last time and got pissed because things didn't seem that much better.   Found out the hard way they could get worse.   I've been the speaker at meetings about 3 times now.  None this time.  Funny how what your going to say always sounds better in your head than when it comes out.  I just got a great idea.  I'm going to use a teleprompter next time.  :-)
