thumper, I hope you’re up in the air right now and that you have no further snafus.
It happens to be a beautiful sunny day here – cold as can be (4 degrees where I am) but beautiful.
They promise (?!) it will be above freezing all next week, with hints of 50 degrees toward the end of the week.
So I am finally back home, and… its snowing. Two days ago it was 78 degrees.
^ EEK!
It’s 14 here but with a feels like 4. At least it’s sunny. Debating whether I should bundle up and take dogs for a walk.
I’m halfway there! Just waiting to board in Chicago. There is barely any snow here relatively speaking. VH… 50 sounds great!
Welcome to Ohio Thumper! You have a decent weather-free weekend in store - the first weekend this year there hasn’t been significant snow in the forecast! Enjoy your family visit. 
A basket…don’t jinx it!
Montgomery County, Maryland (outside DC) – 8.5 inches of heavy wet snow. Temp got down to 5 last night. Took DH to the Metro at 6 am and the roads were still snow covered, though plows had been through.
We’ve only had two storms with appreciable snow, but it has been SO cold all winter. Am ready to move on from this!
OK, ds and friends have left for the airport, and the flight is still on time. Cross your fingers!!!
Which airport! Fingers crossed!
And they’re off! Phew. thumper, they left Reagan and are winging their way to (for now) sunny Texas!
Yes, Texas is finally sunny too! Great that they got off!
Today is a much better travel,day than yesterday.
thumper, you were very wise to change your flights.
My driveway is in the worst shape of the winter right now. The foot of the driveway has ruts and solid ice packed in and one of our cars keeps getting stuck when we pull in. It’s a pain to shovel the frozen walkways. The back door is frozen shut.
But 9 out of the next 10 days will be above freezing here in NY. That’s a start!
It * sounds * like spring outside…doesn’t look like it whatsoever, but when I take my dogs out in the morning , I am hearing a lot of birds that traditionally begin to show up this time of the year. I feel like we might be getting just a little bit closer to the end of this long, long winter
Since we “spring forward” tomorrow, shouldn’t we be getting spring weather?
Well, it’s supposed to be in the forties this week!
its 28 here this morning.Who turned off the heat?
Who knew that my overnight package delivery will be affected by snow. I should’ve just mailed it regular and save money.
My son totalled his car trying to drive in the snow/ice in NY. Thankfully none of the four in the car were hurt. I have not lectured him, other than reminding him that future driving decisions should consider the weather forecast. Man I wish this kid didn’t keep learning things the hard way.

That is so fortunate that nobody was hurt!! Thank God.
I have been very worried, myself. My son is leaving today from Pennsylvania on a road trip to Florida with his fraternity brothers. That in itself sounds like trouble enough, but driving in snowy conditions makes me very nervous.
