harhar.gif Guess getting my snow blower tuned up last week helped us to 'avoid' most of what were were 'supposed' to get...   whistling.gif  wink.gif

About an inch of ice/sleet/'wintery mix' here  wacko.gif

Possibility of 3-5" later on tonight into tomorrow....  Hope the 'snower blower voodoo' holds it off...  Devilish2.gif

Cool map, kelly. I couldn't figure out how to plug in my area ... but I grabbed the map and slid on over to the west coast (I am almost directly west from you!) and looked at the spiffy green/yellow/red colors for the RAIN we have here. Wind too - like in the 60mph range. WHEE!

And folks thought that little rodent didn't see his shadow a few weeks ago. wink.gif biggrin.gif

Stay warm and safe all of you dealing with the snow and ice!

Hi Kelly,  That sure is a neat map!
I am looking at your area now using the wunderground animated on my other Mac.
I sure hope you dont have to drive anywhere!

Bob, I just spoke to my son. He commented on the "heat wave" you guys are having up there. All the way up to 20 degrees! brrr1.gif

We're dug out, for now. Less than half of what we're expecting has fallen so far. It's gonna be deep out there. snowglobe.gif

Thanks RHP! Nice!

We just got rid of about 30" last week... could be more on the way, but we're not going to get a whole lot out of that storm  you're getting Kelly... but the skiing sure is great right now! I only shoveled for a day and a half... Krissel got all the ice down there in New Jersey! And it has been a very cold February, even by Vermont standards!  brrr1.gif  blueeek.gif

But as our Poet Laureate has reminded us, the calendar marches on, and it will be warmer soon!  clap.gif

Indeed, let's all stay warm and healthy!

Sandbox, we'll all be down to see you soon, so we can all warm up!!! Get the barbie ready!!! Look.gif

Sandbox, Richard.... go to your respective rooms... police.gif

Gregg... grab a shovel, it switched over to all snow about 4:00 and has been coming down hard since..... with the wind still blowing and the ice previously... it will be a FUN night and well into tomorrow we're told (again, and again)... sweatingbullets.gif

Kelly.... for some reason I couldn't get your 'window' to work... using Safari...??
 Hope the 'worst' has left your area.....  
Sounds like Gregg and Loraine will get the worst of it... whistling.gif

What we're hearing is the most snowfall will be north of us - a swath across Wisconsin between Eau Claire and Sheboygan. But we're in the next "zone". Farther south, less still...

"Nothing" but thunderstorms here. Few tornadoes to the west of the Mighty Muddy. Seems to have all past to our east. We had a little lightening but never enough to even shut down the computers. Too much low level wind to allow much storm development, all the thermals just get blown away and deteriorate. Should be a nice day tomorrow but still very windy. Don't think we'll have anymore freezing weather till next Winter, at least that's how I voted last week...

But I'd almost rather have some snow than those pesky 'love bugs', sandbox! Just keep them down your way, please! eek2.gif

Sunny all day here in Sedona. Not a cloud in the sky and blue skies. A little cool, high around 58º F.

Went hiking this afternoon. Will post a picture later.

Not really trying to rub it in to all you northerners. We had 16" of snow on the ground when we left NE OH last Friday. Sure is good to be back in Sedona!

huh.gif Strange....  'basic' info available... but all pictures/displays are in blue boxes w/red "?" in them... basically not available.

Thanks Kelly. for the direct link... but that has no joy either....  but we're 'living through it' so guess we don't really need to know what's going on.... open the door and turn on the deck lights... tells us most of it ...
