Millions of travelers and dozens of residents were inconvenienced.

Not like anybody around here knows how to drive in snow. The cops were just avoiding all of the associated paperwork. Heard a few troopers ended up in the ditch as well.

It’s been getting down to 0 at night, and not much over 20 during the day. We have about 8” of accumulated snow, and the last 2 inches were the cold powder stuff the skiers like, but it got windy, so now there are drifts everywhere.
Took a bus trip today to a competition…some guy in a pickup was high centered on the 6 foot snowbank next to the road where he obviously spun out and ended up facing the road at a 90 degree angle. But he was far enough off that he wasn’t in traffic, so that’s a win.

Today snow flurries/freezing rain at 6am. Flurries in Nashville, then dry. Misty/foggy on the way home at 2pm. it was 27* when I got home. The frogs were singing..............weird. Then the rain started again. Then switched to freezing rain. Now it is tiny sleet. This nasty stuff is going to go at least to 6am. Guess who won't be going to work? I have a big package of chicken thighs that needs to get baked and frozen before the power goes out. I have plenty of candles so I can watch youtube in the dark.......................

My buddy in east Texas just lost power this morning from the ice storm. Street is still mostly frozen over, but the 20 somethings are braving it. The rest of north Texas is still hunkered down, we're supposed to still be getting sleet tomorrow morning til it finally gets above freezing.

Took the boy w/ me to go check on the neighbors, we made it two steps before he slipped and dropped his butt right on the edge of the brick step. Two ibuprofen and some heat, he's resting on the couch. Walked to the end of the block and around, everyone's doing ok.
Normal cold ass winter day. Its always iced over. The only real difference is the amount of frozen stuff coming down and how cold its going to get. It doesn't start to get cold until it goes colder then -20. Anything warmer then -1 it is a really nice day. No one worries about the neighbors until they haven't shoveled their sidewalks for a few days.

-2° when I woke up at 8a, 40° when I got back from taking the boy to work at 2p.
It's funny when the idiots in Denver or Springs blow up the internet to brag about record setting temperature swings, but down here in LJ mother nature just says "hold my beer."

Expecting another ice storm tonight. Maybe some snow with it or early morning. Had to pop open the driver door with a curved tip bamboo spatula. 27* for a low.

Sounds like a good time to go driving around. Get a cup of coffee and tool a round.

Worst swing I saw was from 90 down to 15. The line between spawned many tornadoes that day. I was out spotting and called in what turned out to be an F4 that tracked for 67 miles across MN, mostly across open farmland thankfully. But it started in a small town south of me and they were wiped off the map, only about 30% of the town is still there now.
I called it in on the 2 meter ham radio national weather service net then went into that town to do first aid. No deaths but a LOT of injuries. Exhausted my first aid supplies, whatever 4 sheriffs carried, and came close to emptying the first responders truck that arrived 30 minutes after the event, they had problems with down power lines and had to take the long way around and come in from the side I did.
That area of Buffalo Ridge is notorious for tornadoes, the geography triggers bad wind shear along the SW side and top of the ridge... I am on the NW side of it and in the weather shadow. I can watch storms climb the ridge and evaporate and then reform 20 miles east after going over me.
Now NWS uses my weather station for the local forecast, go 30 miles any direction and weather can be different!

We're over 40 degrees in north Texas. Our street is clear but a buddy still has ice on his.
