Pics, supposedly, from the I-94 in North Dakota taken recently?

Hope it turns from rain to snow quickly so you get very little freezing rain.

Thanks Ben.
Freezing rain sucks for sure, especially when we receive a fair amount of it.
I don't mind the snow as I snowmobile so I'll take it even though my major riding area was hit with a bad derecho this past summer.
Numerous, and I mean numerous trees are still down with some broken off way up that are unreachable.

It's going to be 9 degrees in Dallas tomorrow. Two days of less than freezing temperatures and no higher. Kind of cold for us. That means emergency weather plans for the dogs. Five get put in the garage with a heater and the other 4 will be inside. Not a super fun situation. Goes with the territory.

Our weather forecast has changed once again, and will likely change another 6 times by the time it actually gets here?
Anyone know when this global warming thing is suppose to happen? I mean it's been over 34 yrs now and still nothing, or is this extreme, record breaking cold and snow in places all because of global warming like they say?

It is gonna be in the 60s today and throughout the rest of the week. Yeah, I'm freaking liking that much more than teens and snow. Overnight lows in the 30s......I can deal with this.

Cheers,

Butch

As long as you don't get the freezing rain. We got a day of it before the snow. The line was just above us for just snow. Get even 30 miles north and it looks like the pic you posted of North Dakota. It rained here for a whole day first. Luckily we just have a skating rink to drive on after they removed the foot+ of snow. We have above ground power everyplace and freezing rain that sticks to the power lines can cause wide spread power outages for days and even weeks for rural people.

I had the generator ready just in case. Last time we didn't have power for 5 days. It really sucks to lose power in nice weather. During several days of a severe winter storm with below zero temps is way worse.

Stay warm everyone.

The threat of freezing rain has now been removed even though I don't understand how we can go from +3-4 with rain to -4-5 with snow without freezing rain happening in between?
There is currently no snow amount we are supposed to get, just snow is all and no amount of rain either?
Warnings all over the place like climate Armageddon is imminent.

Yes those darn weather people are sadly like most others. They make a guess and afterwards get to see how close they got. I like it when they predict bad weather and it ends up being a nice day.

Haven't you heard? Now it's called "climate change" instead of "global warming". It's hard to tell people sitting in a blizzard that it's because of global warming. Climate change can be used to explain any type of weather.

A warmer planet actually leads to more snow (and rain) . . .but that's waaaay too complicated for most people to wrap their heads around. Or to care to try to understand. It's cool living in a country where basic scientific illiteracy is a badge of honor.

So, how is it that our current high level of precipitation is accompanied by sub zero temperatures?

How about this: climate has always changed. Always has, always will. Only fools would try to stop it from changing.

Yes, yes, you're right. My bad. It went from global warming to climate change when the earth was no longer co-operating. I forgot about that.
From what I hear now, it has gone from climate change to a climate crisis now!!!
We are doomed I tell you. Record breaking cold around the world but some actually believe that is caused by global warming, er, I mean the climate crisis.
I wish someone, who wasn't so high on their horse, would try to explain that to us illiterate peon's but I'm sure it's not worth their effort if all we are going to do is laugh at what some people will actually believe today.

I have around a foot of snow currently. Starting Thursday evening it's supposed to start snowing with windy conditions. Over the weekend the forecast is for 1-2 feet of snow, temps in the teens, and winds at 30 mph with gusts to +50 mph. It will be a good time to stoke up the fireplace and watch it snow and blow.

Well, getting blizzard warnings for Detroit. Freezing rain Thursday, turning to snow about 2 am Friday through Sunday.

Started working for one of the big two mortgage GSE Investors this year with a home office in Plano and I almost have her talked into Southlake in the coming few years. Don't ruin it for me Leon.

My only issue will be looking for a Detroit sports bar in Dallas for us expats, lol.

Well, sounds like Wisconsin is going to get the worst of it according to Frankie, but all should heed his advice just the same.

Just had to use 2 extension cords and a hair dryer to unfreeze the lock on my mail receptacle. Got that beautiful T206 Duffy Polar Bear out of there though. I don't think it minded the weather though, Polar Bears are pretty resilient in the cold.

Emailing with a friend and fellow member in Wisconsin now and before I read this he told me they are about to get hit. So whoever Frankie is they are correct.

You’re in St. Paul we had may be five or 6 inches already on the ground and single digit temperatures. The blizzard arrive this morning added maybe three or 4 inches it’s quite windy and cold. Supposed to continue until maybe Friday with the winds picking up tomorrow.
