<p>What are you doing up so late? We have snow here too and are expecting our first below zero temperatures. Blue skies with fluffy clouds.</p>
<p>Central Iowa: Ice storm, freezing rain, advised to expect power outages! The ice hitting the windows is very loud right now. I’m supposed to pick my husband up at the airport this evening–luckily he called from Europe and I warned him that he might have to stay at hotel overnight if I can’t get him. He will be getting off the plane with no warm clothing, as he left his sweater and down vest with me before going through security.</p>
<p>I’m in Northern California and the weather outside is frightful. We havn’t had any, and ski season was due to open weeks ago! Finally the ski resorts have enough manufactured snow to open a few runs, but nothing like Kirkwood’s infamous “Wall”. It’s too hot! It feels like spring! We’re in for a drought.</p>
<p>It’s snowing right now – about 2.54 cm so far. The local teevee stations aren’t showing pics of snow, so I think this is a local squall. It’s pretty, though (in the gloom of sunrise).</p>
<p>Of course, TallSon was going to do the first day of his Eagle Scout service project today, so we might have to reschedule. Instead of working outside clearing wreckage of a bus shelter, I’ll have to stay inside watching college football and drinking coffee. Bummer.</p>
<p>Here in southern California, it has been incredibly cold and bleak. Yesterday (at least in our county), it was inundated with the torrential downpour. I’m fortunate enough to live in the hills, but my school is located at the bottom of the hill, which means collected water and puddles six to eight inches deep. We were expecting rain, but not this much. Other than that, the weather has been nippy and the nights are pretty cold, but it’s a nice contrast to the seventy-eighty degree weather we’d been getting. If it weren’t for slightly-chilled weather, we would never know it was winter in southern California.</p>
<p>I HOPE it snows here soon. DD will be home from CA next Saturday and she hasn’t seen snow for two years. She was abundantly annoyed that there was no snow for her to see last year when she was home on her winter break. A white Christmas would be fine with me, and it would make her really happy. This IS New England, after all!!</p>
<p>Cold and sunny on Long Island today, but tomorrow they’re predicting snow, ice and rain. I can deal with the cold and the little bit of snow, but I just hate the ice and rain - it makes for slippery driving.</p>
<p>Brrrrr! Right now in NH it’s 22 degrees, but the wind chill is 7! Snow predicted for tomorrow night with early forecasts of 6-12 inches. It’s heeeere.</p>
<p>WOW! 22 degrees – I can’t even imagine!! At least <i>some</i> parts of the country still have White Christmases.</p>
<p>Here in Dallas it’s 63 degrees and cloudy…rain expected. We actually had a few snow flurries on Thanksgiving Day (big flakes, too). All the kids ran outside with their mouths open to catch some. Unfortunately, it was too warm for the flurries to stick so that was the extent of the fun. That may be all the snow we see this year! :(</p>
<p>Only down to 33 here, and the snow will be gone by Monday, but at least it’s white right now. (Rain and windstorm predicted for tomorrow evening, though, so we might be back to living in the dark by Monday.)</p>
<p>under a winter storm warning effective an hour and 45 minutes from now until midnight tonight. The snow has started.</p>
<p>Sunny and 80’s on the east coast of Florida. I had to put the AC back on a week ago. Son is getting an early present this year- a new surfboard- and hopes to use it when he comes home in a week or so. For his sake, I’m hoping the weather stays warm for a little longer.</p>
<p>It’s been snowing since we got up, though only a minor accumulation at my house, lovely light fluffy flakes ans swirling winds, a nice day for a pot of soup simmering and a fire.</p>
<p>snow earlier, then sleet, now freezing rain!</p>
<p>brrrrrrrrr</p>
<p>Snow flurries this morning. Now it’s cold, rainy and windy!</p>
<p>It’s SNOWING here in SW Connecticut. </p>
<p>I thought it was not going to snow until later … so I didn’t put the pre-snow treatment on the driveway last night. And now I am procrastinating doing that.</p>
<p>Snowing in NYC.</p>
<p>Just heard on the news about Indiana and the Purdue University Hockey team:</p>
<p>In Indiana, a van carrying Purdue University’s ice hockey team rolled over on an ice-slickened highway about 20 miles southwest of West Lafayette, killing one team member and injuring seven others, school officials said.</p>
<p>[Snow</a> and ice plaster Midwest; 3 killed - Yahoo! News](<a href=“http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071202/ap_on_re_us/winter_storm]Snow”>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071202/ap_on_re_us/winter_storm)</p>
<p>Our prayers fo out to the Purdue community.</p>
<p>It’s a balmy 64 degrees in Houston, going up to the upper 70’s later today. So strange that it’s snowing somewhere. Now you can see why soccer is a winter sport at my son’s high school!</p>
<p>The snow just stopped by me. S went outside to play, and I put him to work clearing off my car. He’s 11 and thinks that’s fun…lol. blackeyedsusan, I am so jealous - it’s only 24 degrees here - freezing!!!</p>
