Winter weather...

akaburtonfan — Sun, 01 Dec 2019 19:42:12 GMT

Winter hasn’t officially begun and I’m ready for it to be over. My area has gotten at least 30” of snow this week and it’s still coming down. I’m in northern Michigan — dreaming of sun and green grass.

What’s the weather like where you are?

Hi to northern MI. I'm in Newaygo County. We woke up to about 6" of heavy wet snow on top of ice. Lots of power outages from downed tree limbs but our little town was spared. Stay warm.

@joannecha — this is our second storm this week. Some people have been without power since Wednesday. Road crews and power company linemen have been working round the clock to get power restored. They said earlier that roads were impassable. I hope this isn’t a sign of what winter is going to be like his year.

Here in PA it is raining heavily at the moment. It was freezing rain for a bit. We are supposed to get some snow tomorrow, but not a lot. Areas to the north are getting a lot of snow. We are on the border of the rain/snow line.

PHOENIX: This week.....low in the 40's.....high mid 60's. We did have a "freak" storm early Friday morning......lasted a couple hours, and that was it. Snow on the mountains....but NOT on the ground! Golfers paradise(!)

@joannecha , @akaburtonfan Wisconsin is getting it too. DH blew out the driveway this morning but the snow is supposed to continue for a few more hours. We're hoping some sunshine this week will melt a portion of it.

Farmers Almanac said the winter for the Southwest is to be warmer and drier than usual. It has been very cold with a high of 43° here today (22° last night), and 7" of snow TG Day. November was second wettest on record. The sun is shining thpugh.

Ice and 4-5" of snow. Thunder woke me up this morning!

Debating on going out. My snowplow driver just arrived!

For all that are in the path of the snow — stay safe and warm.

@Snowpuppy Be careful on the ice — hopefully they’ve salted the roads.

There can never be too much snow here in Colorado!

@smb3 that snow/rain mix can make the roads treacherous. Hope you don’t have to go out in it.

65 and sunny in Atlanta but it's supposed to get cold tonight. I haven't paid close enough attention to learn what they mean by cold.

Yes, it can, but it looks like it changed over for now to all rain. Hoping it is ok in the morning for commute to work.

Somebody was telling me the other day that it is supposed to be a bad winter with a lot of blizzards and quick storms that cause treacherous road conditions. I hope they are wrong!

I am on the southern end of West Virginia; we are cool and sunny, after 2 days of rain. Snow flurries are in the forecast tonight and tomorrow, with 1-3" of accumulation possible.

We are in downtown Chicago and we are leading a charmed life. Have seen storms pass to the north of us and to the south. Except for some brutal cold in early November (hoping that it was the worst of winter we'll experience, LOL!!) very little snow. So far, have nothing to complain about.

Just wet and gray here, but the grass is still green.

Some very sad leaves still clinging to trees.

Expecting a rain snow mix later in the day, but not too bad for Chicago.

I visited Loveland Co a few years ago. What a charming place. My friends sends pictures of Christmas time in that city. Really cute. Really nice parks, especially sculpture park.

Here in NY state, I woke up to a sheet of ice on the walks and roads. We are supposed to get a load of snow overnight and into tomorrow. I'm not happy, but what can you do ? 🤷‍♀️
