Winter Storm, Week of February 15 Edition

From what I’m hearing much of our country is in lousy weather shape! No bragging by those of you who are balmy, dry and warm!! :wink:

Northwest Ohio: We had an appetizer with probably 2-3 inches at dawn this morning. Our main entree will be through the night and into the morning tomorrow when we may get anywhere from a few inches to a foot. Add in a side dish of blowing and drifting. Final course, not sure I can call it “dessert”…arrives potentially Thursday with another snow event.

It’s been a rough February. Yes I know it’s winter. But a rough weather month.

Whatcha got???

D in Seattle had at least 11 inches of snow, melting today. D in Austin had 6 inches, but the worst part is the rolling electric blackouts (electric heat). Here in Colorado- you know a little snow, a little icy, then sunshine.

This is my back yard currently. It was a very cold walk to/from work this morning and I’m not looking forward to going back for the afternoon shift. I was shocked that patients are coming in today.

A pic speaks 1000 words. What state @momofboiler1 ?

Pics might be fun on this thread. Unless you’re on a sunny beach…

Chicagoland area. Winter started off pretty mild but it’s been very cold and snowy since the end of January.

Dang, I wanted to gloat!

Our forecast keeps changing. In CT originally there was going to be a lot of freezing rain tonight. That has changed to rain, and tomorrow it’s going to be close to 50 (which means patio lunch with friends)

Now Thursday and Friday seem to be the targets. We shall see.

Our 2-3 inches forecast last night turned into almost nothing, though that didn’t stop them from closing school at 6:45a.

Tonight’s earlier 5-7” forecast, ending mid-morning has now changed to 4” followed by 1/4” of rain ending at 3am. I see another dud of a storm coming.

Wednesday night into Thursday still says 8” of snow.

UPDATE: tonight is now .68” of rain.

Same as you, @abasket . My son in Austin is without power.

Texas sounds like a real legit mess! @conmama

My daughter is in Austin, and while she has power on her little street, many nearby, do not. The power company had hoped to go with a rotating outage because there is not enough power available to keep up with consumer demand, according to my daughter, that is not happening in her area. Seem when they took homes off the grid, they couldn’t get them back on, so the decision was to leave those alone, that have power.

Northwest Alabama, main street in my town. It is ice, not snow. Temperatures are not expected to possibly be above freezing until Wednesday, so we are stuck at home until at least then.

We have good friends in Austin whose power has been out since 2:00 a.m. They have an inside faucet that they had dripping that has ceased doing so. Now they have to worry about pipes bursting.

Bridges are solid ice. Thankfully we still have power, but many facebook friends in the area are apparently without power.

We have snow on the ground, but it is old snow. Our weather story is that we have not been above 0 for a couple of days straight, nor have we been above 5 degrees for several days longer. We’ve set several records for the coldest high temps.

We are all looking forward to Wednesday when it is supposed to be 16.
