This is a Russian conspiracy cold Siberian wind over the top and the winds that usually keep them at bay have receded a bit giving us this icy gift from the gulag.

Potential for a wicked blizzard tomorrow.

The storm already had snow falling in FL, GA, and SC. :icon_eek:

apparently large power outages with the heavy winds in NC and VA as it moves up the east coast.  They're taking 8 to 18 inches with 40 to 50 mph winds around here when it hits.

Yesterday we had the first snow of this year and one of the only, snowy days of this winter. Climate change is a bitch. :dry:

We were fortunate with minimal power outages last week.  Plenty of snow from that one though.

Experienced my first flash freeze. Went from +12 in the morning to -15 over a few hours. Everything from pouring rain, freezing rain, snow bloody cold 😺 bought a Mediterranean pizza and fatouch salad and hunkered in.

Got 16 inches of snow here this past week.  And last week we had 1 a 10 inch fall as well.  I here tell we're getting another doozy next week!

Every time I see someone writing about X inches of snow, I remember that Game of Thrones meme about Daenerys and Jon. :-P

Still a bit of a deep freeze here in Thunder Bay. Haven't got so much as a +5 yet.
I choose too keep "Old Warhammer" alive with my blood sweat and tears.

It's bad that warhammer might die but it would be a tragedy if it stays dead!

Oh we will get more no doubt. I suspect we will be out of winter mid May.

Yeah. I love winter but I'd like at least see some green now...

We got an inch of snow, and a ton of rain, sleet, and even some hail.

It's full-on spring here, but this also means spring storms. A lot of them.

Well, well ... it is now the winter of 2018 to 2019!

I was out visiting a friend who lives in the mountains, and out of respect for the newness of the situation, I drove off not knowing how bad the snow was south of where I was at.  Unfortunately my car went off the side of the road.  Looks like it is ok, and I'm ok, although with what I'm hearing there are roads closed, and even tow trucks can't get through to where I'm at.

So ... found myself a hotel, and bedding down for the night.  Hopefully I can get a tow in the morning, and the life will continue to move forward.

There’s an introduction to the new snow season!
Good to hear all is well and you were near a hotel. We had some snow here too

Yep, welcome to the winter here!

Got up in the morning, got AAA to tow the vehicle out of a ditch, no damage to me or the vehicle, and home safely from there.
