Yesterday morning it was 24 at 8am,the roads were icy from the rain earlier and it was also sleeting.The high temperature was 34 by 3pm. I stayed home all day, was supposed to go to the soldier quilts sewing day.
Since I don't know how to drive on ice and my car wouldn't behave anyhow.... I baked 2 loaves of delicious bread, made a pot of Tex-Mex chicken soup. Here's the link to my soup recipe: http://www.quiltingboard.com/recipes...p-t239852.html
While the bread dough was rising,baking and the soup was cooking; I sewed more quilt blocks.

Oh my - I'm so glad to hear that it has WARMED up to 4F! I can't even imagine what it's like. I spent many winters in Connecticut, but it never got below zero. I though 9 or 10F was pretty darned cold. On the other end of the scale - I leave Tucson when the temp moves into the 90s. I'm a real wimp about both high and low temps.

I live just South of Phenix City, AL. and we had a couple of inches of snow here. Ice, then snow on top, lots of people didn't have to go in for work today mainly because of the ice. Temps here never made it past 29, and now it's going down again.

I have been watching the crazy weather down south this winter, and even crazier back east, and I have one question. Where is all this global warming that we have been hearing about? Here we have been alternating between cold and dry and cold and wet, today we got cold, wet, and high winds for a treat.lol!

I think the crazy weather is the result of global warming. Even if you do not believe in global warming you have to admit that the weather has turned crazy.

Atlanta was totally shut down yesterday with total gridlock. the northerners naturally laugh at this but south just not prepared for such weather--esp the ice that was and still is on the roads here.

I too am from Illinois. About 50 miles south of Chicago. I am so tired of winter and would love to send more snow your way. We are predicted to have another 6 or so inches by the weekend, so we have plenty to go around.

I'm 50 y/o and we loved I'm Mobile when I was 3-6. I remember without pictures, a Sunday morning when it snowed! We didn't go to church and my Mom let us play on it. I remember playing on our swing . It was no more than 2 inches but I'd never seen snow! I guess that's why I remember. It made an impression!

I am in Jacksonville. It is just way too cold. I like snow but I want it melted and gone by the end on the day- haha. I am thankful that I have had power this whole time. Water was off all afternoon today but at least I was warm. The winter cold has really been hard on a lot of people this year. Got about 5" of snow the other day here. I stayed in and sewed too. Hope everyone stays safe and warm.

I live in North Carolina right outside Raleigh, I got 4 inches of snow. I woke up Wed. morning with snow on the ground and it was 4 degrees. We broke a record! I had a snow day and got one baby quilt top finished, then sandwiched and quilted 4 baby quilts. It was a productive snow day!!! And got the house cleaned and laundry done! Happy dance!!
