This is why we bought a gas grill with a burner on the side...we have been thru this before.

I'm also in NEPA. We're getting a lot of snow this morning, but overnight tonight and tomorrow, we're supposed to get accumulating ice! I'm hoping for no power outages, but I do have a gas stove & two gas fireplaces. Stay warm and be safe, everyone!!!

All schools in Oklahoma are closed... we have at our house between 6 - 9 inches but because of the winds, my raised flower beds (18 inches tall) are covered

We didn't get any more snow, but at 7:00 this morning it was about 22 below zero. Right now (9:30 a.m.) it is 9 below. Downright chilly!!!

I'm in Southern Minnesota and had the storm yesterday, but it turned out that we only ended up with a little over 2 inches of snow. I shoveled yesterday in the early afternoon and again this morning. My husband is still not recovered from his shoulder replacement so its up to me to do the shoveling. I will be so glad when spring is here, really getting tired of shoveling since I don't want to use the snowblower, kind of scared of it.

Us, too, but I wish we had a generator 'cause every time the weather changes, we lose power....and I can't sew. Ugh!
