Enough Already!

Katcat1 — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 17:08:46 GMT

OMG! Today 4 to 8 inches and if lake effect is part of that it will be 10 to 12 inches of snow. I love snow but with this zero degree weather and slightly above, it's not fun. So I am stuck at home. This is the forecast for the Chicago area. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

@SouthernBee Thank you. I have no choice but to stay in. However, spring is just around the corner, I hope. lol

Here in Nebraska, it's currently -9 below. It will be -26 below with a wind chill of -40 below tonight. Needless to say, I won't be going anywhere the next 48 hrs. I feel bad for the 2 million Texans without power. I will no doubt be getting a lot of puzzling andreading with cups of hot chocolate!

Here in the Buffalo NY area they've been a bit off on the forecast lately. Hopefully the same this time as well. Sooner or later they have to be right. It's cold here but not single digits. I'm in an area where we do get the lake effect storms.

Stay warm and safe.

yeah, most of the Southern end of Tx probably don't know how to act not characteristic for Tx. I live in Amarillo, but, from Ind. so I'm not clueless to extreme bad weather. I've read where some of these people don't even have a winter coat to their name ! huh? LOL

We didn't want nothing to do with upper Midwest or northwest thought we were getting away from extreme weather, but, looks like not turning out that way. We've been here for 10 yrs and this is the first really bad yr. we've suffered from.

Thank you for posting this. My son lives in Chicago and he usually calls me in the evening. He's a runner and a biker so he, too, is stuck at home. I'm in Northeast Ohio and we have the same weather. We are expecting around 10" by tomorrow. I totally agree...Enough Already! docsgirl

@Katcat1

Like you, I'm in Northern Illinois. It's brutal out. Looking forward to Thursday when it may hit a balmy 25°!

The one positive about staying in is it forces you to eat food you have / clean out the freezer!

Yep, a few weeks or so ago, here in my town in New Jersey, we had 20.5 inches of snow and this Thursday are expecting to get another 5 to 8 inches. Nowhere to put it!!!

@BornToShop That's our exact forecast! Are you in Omaha? Yesterday on the news they said it was the coldest Valentine's Day ever!! Stay warm...

I live in Calornia and we had heavy overnight and morning rain. That storm front may bring more snow to the North East.

@kutira I'm in Lincoln. We are having rolling electrical blackouts here due to the demand and strain on the power situation. Had one already that lasted an hour. This will go on tomorrow as well, ugh. Never thought I'd ever be excited about 25+ degree temps later on this week, lol!

We have a lot of snow on the ground now and are expected another 8-10" overnight into tomorrow - so over it and it's cold and windy.

We're going to blow out the driveway about 8 pm and again in the morning...the problem is the city then closes up the end of the drive way when they clean our street...that snow is almost impossible to clean out - it gets hard and freezes and is really deep.

@Mom2Dogs Here's a 'useless tip' (IMO) that our town highway department told us to do to avoid that 'second shovel' ... huh I said!!

yeah .... shovel to the left of your driveway about 2 extra feet that way when the plow comes down, the snow gets deposited there instead of in front of your driveway. Nope, not in my driveway. My house is on a curve and the plow comes by, then backs up 2X to clear the street ... people were arguing with me on facebook that it can't happen. Anyways ... good luck. I have a plow guy who comes and is good about coming back after the town plows come back. Actually last year, I was outside when they were plowing and when they came back around on the other side of the street, I pointed to my driveway ... they were extremely nice and did clear the lip of the driveway for me.

Be safe and stay warm!
