Typical Vancouver

Stay toasty ITW.

Obviously you wouldn't want to take them out for long but I wonder what they would make of it?

Unless it's an albino?

I love squirrels but they can be amazingly feisty and brave.

Partly cloudy

63 sounds wonderful!

-27C (-15F) including the windchill. I can't even say how much snow we got, because it was moving so fast, and piling up 3 foot high drifts in places. (Southern Ontario)

A great Dane however and you'd better find the snow shoes

She loves to run free. When I brought her to New York we had a large yard. Now the poor thing only goes out for walks on a leash. But she has all the love she wants.

My friend who does rescue had a neighbor and Marcy was their puppy. They left her locked in a crate all night long in the garage with no attention, training or anything. Maria couldn't take the crying and finally told them to giver her the dog. She brought Marcy to me when she was about 7 months old. She barely reacted to her name. And she was a wild child because of the lack of training. She's better behaved now and thinks the sole purpose of every dog she meets at the park is to play chase with her. She's part lab and something else(who knows) but when she gets near water, she's in it. I've had her for almost two years now.

We rescued a Corgi mix, the short legs make it interesting in the snow, but she love playing in it.

It is higher than she is period.

But she loves the cold and snow. Me not so much, trying to figure out why man lives in this climate.

5+ inches of snow, drifting to 3 - 4 feet.

Winds 25 - 35 mph

Temp 12; -5 wind chill

Sub zero temps forecast.

I remember when I loved to play in the snow.


Now I watch the flakes falling while I'm warm inside.


I hope you don't have to go out today.

i am SOOOO not looking forward to that.

I definitely do not miss summer.

I passed only a single walker with a dog. And the dog looked like he was in heaven too!

I would never drive in that but it would be fun to run around in.

I just hate going out in the cold.

Our last home had a two car heated garage. Everything was done at the drive through window except for grocery shopping. One of my cars had a remote start so I wasn't cold for long.

Twenty-five years ago I loved it.

That's not with the wind chill. At least it's not as windy as yesterday. My dogs, after being packed into their coats, actually managed a "normal" length walk this morning. It was worth it - the lake looks amazing this morning: the sun is shining and there's mist rising among chunks of snow and ice.

PIA has never worn a coat. She used to chew her way out of harnesses.


Sounds like you had a wonderful morning with the pups.

is Georgia.

I grew up north of Atlanta.

shining like a 5 watt bulb. LOL

The snow continues to drift back onto the driveway. I'm glad I'm not out shoveling.

brrr

I'm home, cooking lentil soup and lamb shank. If I had more food at home, I'd cook some more soups. Many I'll brave the weather and go out later.

Maybe we could exchange some SoCal heat for some Eastern water.


Rec for the cold feet and cool gifs.

It's been snowing since dawn today.

Last night it "rained" so little it did not even record as a trace. Mega bummer.

Should have been done decades ago. We could take an old oil line and insert a new pipe in it...

The truly bizarre thing is that, although Jerry Brown declared drought emergency, our local water suppliers have been mute -- no requests for conservation, etc. I don't think the last restrictions and 20% reductions were ever lifted.

We always have flooding in the east every spring.
Why not move the water where it's needed?

working on a couple of reimages of netbooks for students use. -4 when i passed the sign outside of the high school.

Jake didn't last very long outside -- enough to pee and hopefully poop. Luna stuck it out with me, poor guy. Dahli is toasty under her triple blankets. My face got hot and sweaty under the scarf, so I took it off. Now it looks like a frozen cherry.

The thought of going to work makes me nauseous. I hate this job. Bleeeaaggghhh!

with a high predicted of 36 degrees. But the sun is shining so it makes the cold a little less intense. By Tuesday, the prediction is a high of 29 and a low of 13 but still sunny.

IMO: The southeast has the very best spring.
I miss seeing Dogwoods blooming everywhere.

azaleas put on a show.

They are flocking to my ground level water dish that was a mild heater in it.

No other open water around, even though I suppose they could eat snow, although I'm not sure some birds are set up to do that with their strange holding the head up to swallow water.

Nine degrees out, tonight hits -5. RI.

Also two filled bird feeders.

Stay warm tonight.

Sunny and calm, beautiful weather for January.

But I'm fine, inside and toasty.

Poor icicles:



YUP,

took that pic (and more) shortly after the sun come up this morning.

Yeah, I know I should be knocking them off my roof,

but they are so durn purty!

Soon tho.

CC

ps: - ya can see my poor picnic table in the background - got a wee bit of snow on it . . .

I would have missed the table if you hadn't mentioned it.

Dangerous Cold Follows
UPDATED 9 AM EST, January 3, 2014
The first major winter storm of 2014 is departing eastern New England this morning, leaving a swath of heavy snow in its wake. Blistering cold weather is pouring in behind the storm from the Upper Mississippi Valley to the Northeast, producing dangerous wind chills.

The western snow edge is now along the populated Interstate 95 corridor from northern New Jersey to eastern Maine. The hardest hit by the storm is Massachusetts where the storm dumped 23.5 inches in Boxford. Other snow totals range from 16.7 inches in Libertyville, Ill., to 2.1 inches in Alexandria, Va.

Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect from eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey north into eastern Maine, including Philadelphia, New York City, Boston and Hartford, Conn.

Blizzard Warnings continue on Long Island, N.Y., and for eastern Massachusetts east of Boston. In these locations, snow and blowing snow will reduce visibility to a quarter-mile or less through late-morning.

Another 1 to 3 inches will coat eastern New England and New Jersey this morning with less than one inch expected along Interstate 95 from New York City to Philadelphia.

An Arctic high pressure is building into the Great Lakes and strong low pressure departing the Northeast Coast, allowing the coldest temperatures this season to usher into the East. Wind chills range from minus-35 degrees in northern Maine to minus-30 degrees in the Upper Mississippi Valley. Even wind chills in the Mid-Atlantic have dipped a few degrees below zero.

Wind Chill Warnings and Wind Chill Advisories stretch from Maine into the Mid-Atlantic and west through the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest. This includes Minneapolis, Hartford, Conn., Boston, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.

Wind chills will drop to minus-45 degrees in far northern New England and Minnesota to minus-10 degrees in the interior Mid-Atlantic west of the Washington and Baltimore suburbs.

Snow will quickly exit the Northeast this morning, allowing road crews and residents to dig out of the heavy snow that has fallen. However, blowing and drifting snow will reduce visibility significantly and make for difficult travel even after the snow ends.

The winter storm is responsible for producing a few daily snow records on Thursday. Boston had 10.6 inches of accumulation, breaking the long-standing record of 8 inches set on January 2, 1904. Meanwhile, Cincinnati had a record 4.2 inches on Thursday.

Of course south FL is like that in the winter.

It's going to be 13 below zero tonight.
That's the actual temperature nevermind the wind chill factor.

I should have stayed in FL when I was living down there.

You have my deepest sympathy..honest.

Stay inside and warm!!!!!

The last deep freeze we had a few days ago, our light rail froze up.

I'll bet there is more that didn't make the early broadcast. We are 100 miles north of NYC so our local news is nonexistent except for a local shooting at the DEP on Monday.

Drove by a swimming pool this afternoon--closed, but penguins were having a luau on the deck..........

Drove down the main street of a town, and there was a lawyer in front of the bank with his hands in his ownpockets............Time & temp sign said "3:26--WTF?!?!"

In my next life I want to come back as a TROPICAL plant.

How are the penguins doing today?

The snow on my deck is almost up to the seats of the chairs. Don't think I'll take my coffee out there this morning.

take along an ice-pick, you'll need it.

The penguins are smiling today! It's -2 deg. this morning, and yesterday we got 8 inches of snow! We have a drift around a spruce tree that's up to my thighs (I had to try to wade thru it earlier this a.m. to take a letter out to the mailbox, where it probably won't get picked up today like I need it to....) Wind chill in KC is -17--it's a LOVELY day to be a penguin! Fortunately, I don't have to work today (obviously--I'm on DU, right?) My crew worked Monday, trying to plant a tree; the ground was so hard (frozen) that they'd swing a pick-ax at the ground, and it would bounce! solid as concrete! I think we're done working for this week--high for the rest of the week is 12 degrees, so no thawing in sight.

Stay Warm!!

Abnormally warm even by our local measure.

32 degrees, cloudy, no wind, scattered snow. Perfect.

Not too bad, but yesterday the high temperature was around 60 degrees and spring was in the air...

It's quite a bit cooler here now, although January was very warm. I think that snow January 3 was the last we've had here.

My mom says that there's a ton of snow in Northwest Arkansas. It's like the 3rd big snow there this winter. When I was 10 years old, I received a sled for Christmas. From then until the time I was a senior in high school, I was only able to use that sled during 2 or 3 snows. Now it seems like the area gets multiple snows every winter.

In Glens Falls so I got the foot or so of snow and the temperature right now is -21 according to my phone.

I still had to venture out to work in the storm but I put off stopping at the store, the kitties still had some food in their dish so we were safe.

Have to make myself get out of the car to get more cat food tonight because it sets off a mini cat panic if the back of the self feeder isn't full as well as their dish. Meanwhile the two furry tyrants are safe at home with their fleecy blankets they got for Christmas.

The snow is almost up to the porch on the house across the street from me.

I think probably at least 6-7 inches and its coming down really heavy right now. I was out in it already this morning to get to my part time job and the roads were pretty bad then, really not looking forward to going to my real job tonight. I usually go in around 4:30-5 but I'm staying put in my nice warm apartment until it at least slows down a little.

and it's unlikely I can get back Stateside due to the weather in the NE...I have had to extend my vacation by a few more days...hope the sunburn isn't too bad..

We're not supposed to get more than two or three inches.

I was surprised when the phone rang at 5:13 this morning!

We have about six inches of heavy wet snow. Very pretty, like a Christmas card.

Everything is covered in a blanket of new snow.

Yesterday was so warm that everything had melted away.

We had grass yesterday! They sure blew this forecast.

Now it's 35 degrees and some kind of snow-rain thing is coming down.

I have a doctor's appointment in about an hour and don't know if I should go or re-schedule if it starts icing.

Almost impossible when other cars are sliding about.



It's a warmer storm this time, 27 degrees outside at this moment. That makes for heaver, wetter snow. This storm is just starting for us.

and the precipitation appears to have stopped here.

Stay warm and dry!

They were better on the way home. It looks like the 1st of 2 storms to hit this week is winding down. I'm in for the next 24 hours, maybe more.

It's 16 degrees today, and it's been foggy the past couple of mornings so the trees are frosty. It's beautiful -- now if we'd just get some snow, everything would be perfect.

In Alaska January was the fourth warmest on record.

It's still coming down at an inch an hour.

The warm weather last month melted quite a bit of our snowpack, and the skiers and other winter sports enthusiasts have been really bummed out about it.

We had rain earlier. It's supposed to be about 20 degrees colder tomorrow, with rain. Yuk. But, still not as bad as what you have.

75 during the day sounds perfect.

I tend to live for spring.

That's almost shorts weather.

I was born in Georgia. This cold stuff really hurts my old bones.

then it's a LOT... as in WAY too much.

This crap was less of it but worse than last week in that last week it was light fluffy stuff you couldn't make a snowball with whereas this time it's soggy and heavy as hell... you can barely lift a shovelful. And now we're supposed to get more crap piled on top of this tomorrow or the next day. Once again, my week is fucked.

At least we aren't in zero temps anymore and the nasty winds have finally gone missing. This time it's way more slippery though.

I'm sick to death of this, but the dog is having the time of his life.

It's supposed to continue all day. My street hasn't been plowed yet.

we are in winter now ... we had a few cold days but it's mostly 40-60 and intermittent rain. This is pretty typical for South Texas in February. We typically don't warn up until after Easter.

It was an experience I don't intend to repeat.

Texas is beautiful but I just wasn't happy there.

we have museums, theater, professional sports, and great restaurants. I have done ok because the climate is warm for much of the year. I'd trade it in a heartbeat for Miami though.

in a blue sky...current temp @ 9:02 am 77 heading up to 81.

Stay warm and stay safe.

There's about 3 inches of snow on the ground, with a bit more forecast during the day.

Schools are open, business as usual.

and I look forward to the pics.....

So far ... nothing (that I'm aware of) has gone wrong in our senior citizen community.

How is your neighborhood?

Everything is covered in white, it looks like about an inch has fallen. Medium snowfall. It's supposed to continue for a couple more hours.

About 10 below and sort of cloudy (which means maybe warmer, maybe not). It's been a decently warm winter here so far!
