Currently 11C (52F) here and raining. That's our high for the day.

It'll be 0C by 3pm with freezing rain and -6C by 6pm with snow.

High tomorrow is -15C, -18C on Sunday...

Gonna hit 72 here today.  Of course, it's raining, so no going outside and enjoying it.  By Sunday morning we'll be back in the 20s.

We've had an inch of rain today already.  Temps are supposed to drop below freezing, rain will then switch to freezing rain, then eventually over to snow.  Only supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow, on top of the .1 inch of ice.

76 Here and windy. Mowing the grass later followed by pool-cleaning. Will this winter NEVER end?

My apologies for constantly misreading your name; a neuron blazed a wrong path once and now is JUST SURE THAT MUST BE RIGHT.    O:-)

Thanks Jason  O0 I'm terrible with names myself , so I totally understand the mistake  O:-) And it's true , once you've called someone by what you think is their name ...it tends to stick   #:-)  If you end up calling me Esmeralda in the future I won't take offense , lol , and I'll understand why :)  it's the bells , the bells ....in our brain  ;D

Martok made it safely to Wisconsin.  Now he's just looking for warmth.

Glad the grog got through that drive safely  O0 Warm glass of mulled wine might get him warmed up again after that drive ! You can't beat it when it gets chilly of an evening ;)

Literally what happened here in West TN, too. Weather service is very unsure of whether it will quit snowing in the next hour (1pm), or continue until 6pm, or somewhere in between (the original estimate).

My RAV4 hybrid CVT ran fine this morning on my errands, no problems.  O0

^ good to know your car is not going to get stuck anytime soon in the snow or ice  O0

That was the four-lane mid-morning on my way to the shop for an errand.

The less-than-four-lanes did not look better. ;)

Invisible to the camera: the snow flowing over my car's airstream.

(My best guess is we picked up 3" on top of the ice. Nothing compared to real snow, but a nice blanket around here.)

Jeebus. Careful!!

Why is your RAV4 hybrid CVT averaging 12.3MPG?  :o

Well, yesterday it was in the 50's.  A little rainy at times, but warm enough we could get the outside Christmas decorations to the barn.  They still need to be put away, but their inside.  Right now, it's 17 out.  We had over an inch of rain this morning, and then an inch plus of snow.

Daughter made it to and from work, well, the wife took and picked her up, but still made it back home safely.  School got cancelled today.
