I hope it cools off again. My car was covered in pollen monday morning, 2 months ahead of schedule.

well, we're more just sharing it now.

The high here on Saturday is supposed to be 11 and the snow is supposed to start up again for its weekly show on Friday!

WOO HOO!!!

Really, though, if you're going to be jealous of us CO folks, it shouldn't be because we've had a winter and you haven't, it should be because we take much better backpacking trips than you do :)

We're at about 18, still a little warm for this time of year. Sort of like the Fram oil filter man, "Pay me now or pay me later." It's a long time until May.

Yeah, we've got some unseasonably cold weather here at the beach too....highs in the mid 50s today with snow in the local mountains. I'm sure by next week it will be back in the 70s :D

Well the temp got all the way down to get this, 48! AND we had RAIN! That's it. I think the snow did get to the 3000ft level, but that ain't where I am. Doggone it all anyway.

I stopped at the local ski shop on the way home from town. The owner was just sitting there, half drunk and crying.

I just went outside, it's so damned cold that I'll be sure to check the temp before I decide to go out again.

According to Weather.com it 3, but feels like -10, I'd say that's just about what it feels like.

Em - I just bought 40 acres with an old farmhouse built in 1930 and no clue of how well insulated it is. I'm still on the first tank of propane and that's good. Got a cool trout stream going through the front yard, a 2 mile hiking trail and the Namekagon river is only a walk through the woods. Not bad.

Nothing in northern WI. I hear the Chicago area is getting nailed though... like they need it! It's just a headache down there. We haven't gotten but a few inches since x-mass!

Yeah, nasty storm in the Chicago area. Worse south of I-80. Just heard that they shut down a good chunk of Lakeshore Drive. News had pictures of various expressways. Nasty looking.

Wife and I were commenting that they tell everyone to stay of the road, the TV stations send their reports into the storm.

Hey you, over there! You had enough snow. No, it's not all yours. Some of it belongs to us. It was clearly just dropped there by mistake. Send it back and drop it over our mountains!

Ice wasn't too bad this morning where I live but I suspect SNP trails got whacked again unless it was mostly snow up there

The lake effect machine was kicking in when I left the house this morning. Supposed to get an additional 5" of this.

Diddly squat for snow here in northeast NJ. Just a bunch of sleet/freezing rain/wind. We are supposedly going to get snow tonight. 5" of snow to cover the ice. I can't wait to drive!!!

Get on I-81 and head north towards Redfield, NY. Once there, take home as much snow as you like. The town has received over 12' in the past two weeks, they won't mind if you take some.
