They say we are going to have a record breaking snow/ice storm. We live in Chicagoland and experienced the storms of 1967, 1979 and 1988...we are ready with all kinds of foodstuffs, shovels, gas for the snow blowers and......our son's generator...hoorah for our son!!!
|
I'm in Cincinnati. Usually Cincinnati weathermen overreact to everything. Tonight they are saying nothing. That means we are probably going to be hit hard.
|
We live near the Indiana Michigan boarder and are getting ready for the storm also. I hope neither one of us need our generators... goodluck to you
|
I'm glad I'm not further north than Kansas. You all stay warm and sew, sew, sew, and keep us posted.
|
In the Indianapolis area. Already have a growing layer of ice on everything. Hubby went out about 20 minutes ago to walk dogs, his feet prints have already filled up/ iced over.
This could be fun. |
Storm going to start here Tues. afternoon, most of it arriving on Wednesday. Could see a foot or more; but we need it to all get out of the air this next month so we can have an early spring. That would be awesome!
|
Lucky you, now I know why we spend our winters in the south.
|
don't think the groundhog will see his shadow this year - there's so much snow he won't even be able to get out of his burrow. LOL
|
It started here this morning. Was icy on the streets, but then it warmed up some, so the ice went away and then it started snowing. Ice is always the worst. Will keep a good thought for all of you that get the ice storms. They are hard on everything and everyone! Stay safe and warm everyone! We are expecting 3 -6 inches tomorrow. Not nearly as bad as some of you are forcast to have!
|
It is supposed to be -28 tonight - and we aren't the coldest spot in the state! That's before the wind chill factor! I think I will stay in and quilt tomorrow!!!
|
Even here in Texas we are expecting wind chills below zero!!!!

We are suppose to get snow starting tomorrow. They said 6-12 inches and very cold. The snow doesn't stop this year. My friend had a Robin on her lawn the other day.

In north east PA I am just hoping for no ice storm,I will just stay home and Quilt
|
We're just south of the "line" between snow and rain...crossing our fingers the weatherman is right this time. Last ice storm 2 years ago we were without power for 13 days and we only live 2 blks off main hwy.

Sending you all warm Florida weather. It's supposed to be 80 here tomorrow. It will be a nice change for us. It's been cold! No pretty snow, just cold! Beach weather tomorrow!

I drove two yrs ago on new years week end from Chicago to Northern Arizona by myself and when I got just East of Amorilo Texas on I 40 they closed the freeway. The next day when I got to Amorilo TX there was Ice on every branch and every blade of grass. Everything was shut down. I never have seen this before and could not believe my eyes. It took me 8 hrs on new years day to go 250 miles going west on I 40. I was not near home yet. I drove 14 hrs by myself that day. Not a good way to spend new years eve or new year day. Glad to hit the AZ state line. Everyone be carefull in this storm coming up.
|
thank you,Chele for the warm weather thoughts you are sending us.
|
Bracing here in Missouri. Frankly,Im pretty scared. Power goes out here easily when we get ice and we have no heat alternative.We do have lots of quilts and a dog and a few cats so I guess we can huddle up if we have to!!!
|
channel 5, snow tomorrow morning approx 6 inches, nothing overnight then BAM 12 - 14 inches depending where the line is, and again depending on the line 1/4 inch to 1 inch of ice. Not looking forward to it:( and both DH and I have to work regardless...
|
Just plugged in my power packs...get them all charged up. They have a light and enough power to run my sewing machine for a few hours.... :-D I have Chocolate...coffee...hot chocolate...homemade soup. I'm ready...just have to convince Tink that all that snow won't kill her.
|
It is supposed to start here tonite and get worse in the next 24 to 36 hours. Wish is would come already...
|
keep the soup hot and pour me a cup of chocolate,Ill put my boots on and ill be right over LOL
|
Here in Indiana people getting panicky we've been lucky so far. Snow blowing icing on the roads, Thank goodness for our big generator. DH had SIL pick up diesel fuel in case it is a big one coming in.

Been snowing here all day. Kids got out of school early and have a 2 hour delay tomorrow morning. I expect that they will probably close early or not have school once the wind picks up. Live in rural Iowa and the country roads drift shut very easily here.
|
We are getting snow now. It is supposed to be 5 to 8 inches. It beats the ice we had this morning though.

i had to laugh - i remember frank marzullo when he was on the youngstown stations up here. but i never paid attention to his wardrobe!
Do you watch Fox19 news?????????/ My DD is friends with Frank Marzullo. If he wears a sweater the weather is going to be REALLY bad. If he has a suit on the weather will be fine. Just a tip I thought you might like to know.[/quote] |
I really wish they (whoever they are) would keep all this cold weather in the north. We are not supposed to get this many sub-freezing days in Louisiana. We had a gorgeous day today, in the 70's, but tomorrow night it's going back into the 20's. Maybe some freezing precip on Friday. I am not cut out for this. BRRRRrrrrrr!!!
|
Ran to grocery store, and get a cord for generator. I am ready!
|
Years ago you could still use your gas range when the power went down...not so today...all appliances have electronic igniters!
|
It started about 5pm at my house with some sleet. It quickly turned to freezing rain. I am going under the assumption that we will eventually lose power. Laptops and cell phones are charged and we can always recharge them in the car, if necessary. I have a terrible head/chest cold and feel absolutely miserable tonight. Not looking forward to the next few days, at all.
|
they say 15-25 inches here
|
the weather is why we left chicago 40 years ago. az is great.
|
Wanna come quilt with me in Northern CA? It has been sunny and the highs almost 70!
|
In Columbia, MO area snow is starting to come down. We had rain/freezing rain yesterday/last night. They are saying 8-12" but some say possibly higher amounts. Not good.
(Thinking about finding the ground hog and thumping him on the head so he can't see his shadow) :-) Everyone stay safe and warm!!! |
One never knows if we should believe the weather reports on the 3 local stations, or the weather channel. OR on-line! So many times they warned us about impending storms and winds, we cancelled our plans and not one drop of moisture came down from the clouds..........hmmmmmmmmm............I wonder if that's how the SHOW ME state got its name????????
|
Rain, freezing rain, ice .... that's what's forecast for this area until Thursday. NOT looking forward to this at all. IT'S TIME FOR SPRING, don't you think?
