we got just a dusting of the white stuff,strong winds about 30mph sustained and temps in the teens to low 20s. But we did have some excitement the east side of the city had a 3.0 earthquake!They didn't know there was a fault there!

:yikes: I'll keep my snow.

Anyone want to come visit me in CA? ;)

It IS "be careful" now. We can't bitch with the mild winter we had so far, but it seems to be wanting to make it up all at once. Now it can actually get dangerous. Some real cold or real snow are doable, but when both together, it can fuck you up.

Pushing the record snow dump, is a deepfreeze cold front that can hurt you. We have -1F (-19C) forecast with wind chill of -10 to -20F, into the weekend. Being able to move though or get to someplace in the bitter cold, sub zero (sub (-18c), works. Breaking down or getting stuck bad when the cold won't really hurt you is only a pain in the ass. Both together can get you dead in less than a hour.

Here's a local story that is only in video. Go the "Teen buried by snow plow", click and give it time to load.

How does one spell ... lawsuit ^^^^? :yikes:

(PS ... I was not running in downtown Cleveland ... even I know that's not a park. :D)

I didn't think the 6" of snow was bad but then the freezing rain came and iced us over. They've clear the snow off the streets and what was left is a skating rink. Lotsa roads closed here today. They are trying to brine/salt as fast as possible but the temperature and wind are biting back. They clear it...the wind blows it over again. Bout 12F with the winds whipping to 30+ mph makes for a wind chill of 0F and below in some places.

Luckily the powder trucks for Mr. Lixy's job aren't making the trek today. Lucky for him and lucky for the people that might crash into them while sliding on the ice.

OK...I'm done with winter now!!!!

On my way to the airport in Cedar Rapids right after I hit "Submit Reply". ;)
