Screw the snow.

What is the temperature supposed to be?

What are the winds supposed to be?

<<<right now, prefers snow, even if several feet of it.

Yeah, we picked up 6 inches of global warming overnight here in central Hoosierland.

Haven't been outside to push it off my truck yet ,but thankfully, it looks like there was no ice.

According to news8 it's currently 18 degrees and feels like 8 with wind chill.

We've already hit our high of 32º degrees today.  It's supposed to drop down to single-digits later today and tonight. 

Gonna be fun.

At 4 AM the temp was 10 deg. with a wind chill that brought it down to -3 deg.

I got the snow blower out and blasted away about 3 inches of that shit that I hate. Of course, some of that shit blasted back into my face.

****ers.

We have about 4 inches of global warming on the ground with temps around 20.  It's supposed to get down near zero tonight with maybe a heatwave of mid 30's Saturday. Sunday and Monday are looking like sub zero temperatures.

Our forecast looks good for the next couple of days, at least we will hit double digit temps.  However, the high Sunday is supposed to be 2, with a low of -16.  Monday should be quite balmy with a high of -5 and a low of -11. :banghead:

Tania, I'm smack in the 12"-18" belt that The Weather Channel has up.  Supposedly, we've cracked double digits in a 'high' temperature for today--we got to 14F--but now both the TWC website and my electronic weather station (also with a TWC logo--hey, it was inexpensive!) say 2 Fahrenheit.  The wind chill makes it feel as if it's -13F.  I just got in after snowblowing four driveways, and after having to redo two of them (after the Town snowplow came by).  I need a cup of tea and another log into the fireplace. :fuelfire:

Snow, more snow and bitter cold (wind chill down to -15 here or so tomorrow; -40 in Stowe Vermont; -29 in Portland, ME).   

It's New England.  The ski resorts know it will all melt next week when it rains in the 40s+.

Screw the snow.

What is the temperature supposed to be?

What are the winds supposed to be?

<<<right now, prefers snow, even if several feet of it.

As I type, temperature in town in 2 degrees.  Wind chill is -22.  Plows and salt/sand trucks are starting to make headway, but drive home today is going to SUCK.  Scoobs convinced me to stay in Manch-Vegas overnight last night so I wouldn't face a double-drubbing of 50-mile commutes.  The hotel is (normally) 5 minutes away if I get caught at every light (all four of them.)  This morning it took me 15, and the window froze up as I was driving.

The INSIDE of the window.  With the defroster going full-blast.  And LOSING. 

Memo to self--warm up truck for 15-20 minutes.  Screw trying to get anywhere in a hurry.  Getting home this afternoon WILL take 2-3 hours.

Temperature tonight should drop down to about -15 with a wind chill in the -25 to -30 range.  While nippy, not nearly as bad as the North Country, where they're looking at around -35 or so, wind chills -45 or lower.

And yes, I managed to find someone to plow out the driveway at home, and there's a oil tank fillup coming on Monday.  All things considered, I'm surprised the first fill lasted this long.  The bad news, it's $3.75/gallon NOW, meaning the next fill will be at/near $4/gallon.
