Here in Iowa we did get several inches of snow and it got really cold, tho not below normal for this date. Like usual, the storm was not as bad as predicted and lots of events for Fri. eve and today were called off. I really hate winter, but still, so far, we have had a very mild winter as far as snow and temps.

The winter in North Colorado has been a disaster. We depend on snow for our moisture to fill the lakes and reservoirs. So far, this winter season, we have had ZERO snow. This follows a Spring, Summer and Fall of no rain whatsoever. It is an epic non event. Water is precious. We have virutally none at this time.

So sick of the weatherpeople's "we're all gonna die" crap......

Rain here. Central Ohio.

I just thought you would want to know: Bright sunny day here in Fort Worth. Not a cloud in the sky. However, there is a howling wind out of the north-west so the wind chill is significant.
A few places on the north side of town had a dusting of snow.

Hang in there and read a good book.

I've been to Illinois, only in the summer, visiting friends in Rockford, aroudn the tiem of the "on The Water Front" festival. I was surprised at how much rain Illinois gets even in summer.

just rain here in Bloomington Indiana

My cats go to each door thinking the outsdoors will be free of snow on the other side. 18" is over a cat's head......

I think the track shifted north a bit. We in southern Wisconsin were only predicted to get a dusting and we have seven or eight inches of new snow. It wasn't supposed to snow at all in Minneapolis and I hear it did snow up there. I can handle snow. For all of you who are probably going to get bad icing, please be careful. You can generally do ok driving in snow if you are careful and know the tricks. Nobody can drive well on ice.

Similar here. All the snow is melting from the rain. Then it is supposed to go down to 14 degrees tonight.

That's what we're getting here in Ohio, also. Temps still haven't dipped below freezing. If it gets as cold as they're saying the whole state is going to be an ice rink...

I an remember black ice when I lived in Galesburg. It is not at all pleasant.
