Overnigh low 24f, there will be more than frost on the Pumpkins.

38F right now but climbing up to 66F today. Sounds great to me.

Low 30s and snowing with 5 to 7 inches expected accumulation by tomorrow morning. Pretty, but wet and heavy looking. Guess that'd been good for making a snowman, but I don't look forward to the shoveling.

Hight 20s heading for mid 30s tomorrow. C.

About the same as DB, just 3 to 5 inches of snow for us.

It actually snowed pretty good all day yesterday ... but the streets and grounds were still warm enough that a lot of the snow melted. Maybe had 3 or so inches when I went to bed last night. Another inch or so was expected today. First snows are always kind of pretty.

A sudden (& unpredicted) snowstorm hit us here last night, & I got caught out in it. What should have been a 2 1/2 hr trip (at most) instead took four terrifying hours off of my life. I'm afraid I may have snapped at the asst to the driver supe that made the mistake of calling me about my schedule tomorrow while I was desperately trying to survive tonight. I may owe someone an apology.

The weirdest part is that there's a clearly visible line dividing those who got heavy snow from those who got none, & the line runs right thru Metro Nashville, SW to NE...& this time it's us to the south of the line that got dumped on...

I think the supermarkets are the most upset about the lack of warning; in these parts, people flock to the Kroger store to stock up on bread & milk if there's even a whisper about "snow"...

Scotz, I think the main problem you had was you were in Nashville. I drove to Murfreesboro and back and didn't that many problems. Only two in fact, and it was the first time I drove in the snow. You're right though, people around here buy the oddest things for bad weather. They should be stocking up on lamp oil/candles, can soups, bread is fine, just about any kind of food that doesn't need to be kept cool. That way if the power goes out, you're not opening the fridge and freezer all that much. Also, you have no way of cooking it in the first place really. Unless you have a wood stove.

Temp dropping here in ABQ. Strong possiblity of moderate snow and heavy winds through Tuesday, commencing tonight. Chihuahua will get lost in the back yard, again, for sure.

About an inch of snow here, and just below freezing

The initial part of my trip started at home on the south side, to the I-24/Harding area, then to Murfreesboro Rd (Edge-o-Lake area), which was where I saw the worst of the weather. My journey went thru downtown to the west side, where it was "Snow? What snow?!?" Weirdest weather I've ever seen, & after five decades in Gnashville, that's sayin' sumpin'.

The main source of terror was the other drivers...I got front-wheel drive, and lots of experience with the worst this town has to offer, but getting stuck behind some yucklehead that thinks if he just guns the engine harder, the wheels will stop slipping....great googlymoogly, that's scary...

Temperatures today are expected to be in the low 30s, but this afternoon we're expecting an ICE STORM! 1/4 to 1/2" accumulation expected. Kind of hope they're wrong and we don't get any.

Well, looks like everything is covered with at least 1/4" of ice this morning. Pretty soon (when it gets light out) I'll have to get some salt spread on the sidewalks and maybe do some work to get the cars "de-iced" so the doors will open. Probably won't want to really drive anywhere for a while.

At least it doesn't look like limbs have broken or that power has failed (knock on wood).
