Just got back from work, I managed to out run the worst of the freezing rain, roads weren't good by any stretch, but they've been worse. Just hope that all the ice turns to rain by tomorrow afternoon, when I go back to work....right now it's snowing blue blazes outside! They're calling for a 3/4" glazing by tomorrow. If that happens we'll lose power. All dogs in the house, & hubby & I are warm & toasty right now!

Hope every else stays warm, you included, Bob!!

Near North Suburb of Chicago about one mile from Lake Michigan.
60+mph winds blowing in off Lake Michigan. Inside it sounds like the windows are going to blow in at times. Outside it sounds like a train is going by.
About half way through this blizzard with 14 inches of snow on the ground here already and a lot of drifting. Expecting another 10"-12" of snow. Predicting drifts of as much as 8ft. A lot of thunder and lightning where I am and the town sounded the tornado siren a little after 8pm.
Tomorrow night temps are supposed to drop to 0 to -15F. Can't wait.
Dogs, of course, are having a blast when they go outside.
Lots of new tree branches on the ground to play with.
Happy Snowmageddon everyone!

That was fun stuff Steve. (thunder and lightning)
I got two feet on flat areas and four to five foot drifts in my back yard.
I can't wait to see what is out there tomorrow.

Well here in the sunny southwest we are currently experiencing light snow fall with totals of 3-8" .

The Weather Channel reports a warm 2 degrees F but says it feels like -23F.

What's that supposed to mean??? Tomorrow it's supposed to be a high of 16 F and a low of -4 with some ridiculous feels like temp.

Due to the cold temperature and moisture, we have enough ice on the roads to shut most of our city down.

Had to go by space heaters to keep my horses warm enough in the barn.

I know all of you in the east and north are used to snow and cold and probably think what's she gripping about, but us thin blooded folks down here are freezing our A****** off.

Hope everyone stays safe and warm.

For you warmer area folks - the pre-blizzard cam.

Leeshideaway --Burrrrrrrrrrr. My in-laws live in Urbana, IL. and told me it is awful there.

Well it hit us with a vengeance in the middle of the night. ( Southern Ontario).

Winds are just nasty, even had lightening early this morning. Drifts 3 feet deep on the roads, no plow in sight here.

I'm staying at home where it is warm, not even going to try to make it to work,

-12C here plus wind chill.

TingiesandTails you have got to be from Alberta as we'll! Even after all that cold we are supposed to be back up to 5 today...The old statment of only in Alberta.

Hope everyone is safe in the homes and can ride out your storms!!
