Looks like I was more fortunate than you, dicksbro. My part of Iowa got missed by the ice, but we got plenty of snow. Enough that, currently, school is two hours late (and on the one day my son really really wanted school to be on time, since today is the last day before Christmas vacation and they were planning a party) and getting out of my parking lot is going to be interesting, to say the least.

Just went out (had a haircut appointment). Ice is reasonably thin and I was able to chip it off the windows and doors of the car with no problem. Streets were more slush than ice and so weren't hard to drive on. Thank heavens.
Branches are hanging low, but few broken that I could see.
I think we were lucky.  |

Nothing but rain the past couple days down here in Tennessee. Same in Alabama. I miss the snow.

We have about the same as you but it is suppose to drop to 20F (-7C) then to the low teens over the weekend and stay there (-9C) for a few days.

Ice skates? I'm thinking of looking into cross-country skis. I'm wondering where in the 6-10 inches of snow we're supposed to get tonight we'll end up, especially in light of the snow/sleet/ice we're due to get Sunday/Sunday night.
I'm ready for winter to be over, thank you very much. (IAKG ignores the fact winter hasn't even officially begun...)

It's December, how has it not officially begun? Shadows, I would love to have that 11 inches of snow you got. As it is, it looks like I'm in for a green Christmas.

I was figuring on a grey Christmas, with the constant rain...but today I had to do something I haven't had to do in a while; I had to wear my sunglasses.

It's 29F under cloudy skies ... but the high for today is only predicted to be 30F and then drop down to 1F tonight.  Snow this afternoon, although I haven't heard how much yet. Then tomorrow, the high will only reach 4F and drop to -3 tomorrow night. |
