Get Ready for all day SNOW

Katcat1 — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 00:56:39 GMT

This will be happening tomorrow Thursday, 2/17 in the Chicago and suburbs of Chicago. Five to 7 inches. This is such a late winter for us. I'll be staying in and enjoy the Olympics.

I am down state, Central Illinois. We are to get rain, freezing rain and then 5 to 10 inches of snow! Praying we do not lose power and that the freezing rain will be minimal.

They are predicting thunder snow as the snowfall will be heavy. I love thunder snow. So eerie............

I did my errands today and it was in the high 50's and I was able to do my walking outside. Mr. 4 kitties has the snowblower ready to go. We are all set!

Here in NE PA we finally got out of the deep freeze (for now anyway). We are to be in the 50s tomorrow with rain at night.

I've learned not to get too excited about warmer temps and decent weather until well into April.

DH and I got married at the end of March 1969. On our 1st anniversary we had a foot of snow.

Take care in this storm.

I am in northern suburbs of Chicago too. Stay in and be safe....especially if there is ice! It may not be as bad as predicted...🤞. Fortunately, my schedule is clear so let it happen. Winter hasn't been that bad so far...at least my area...some southern areas have had more snow.

🌷🌷Spring is Coming! 🌷🌷😁

@Katcat1

We are below you in the NC mountains. We are forecast to have heavy rain! Sounds like a system that picked up the water from the gulf which usually spells trouble; that's when we get our worst snows!

Western suburbs of Chicago - ice followed by snow. They're predicting about 3 inches of snow. It's very windy, and the combination of ice and snow is not good.

True, "Spring is coming!". You gave me a smile because the blizzard we had was near the end of March one year, and that's NC!

It snowed in VA south of Richmond once on April 23.

I remember the date because it was my Morher's birthday.
We are due to have rain. Tomorrow will be 71. Friday rain and 64 and down to 29 at night. (Hope that rain stops before the freeze! )

Daffodils are blooming.
Crazy weather! 😜

We'll be on the rain side of this event in the northeast. It's going to be in the 50's here today and tomorrow. Heavy rain overnight tonight (thurs) with 55 MPH winds. It's the darn winds that are more of an issue with losing the power, yikes!

So far, so good here. We had rain last night and some wind, but no ice yet and thankfully no power outages.

We are to have lots of snow starting after noon though. We shall see...........

It rained hard last night and I was afraid it would be really icy this morning but happily it's not. Very windy though. Actually a lot of the snow melted more than I thought it would but we will have to see what happens today.

Yesterday temps in the 60's. Started to sleet early this morning about 3 am. Now we are having a full blizzard with blowing snow and temps have dropped to 18 degrees. It is expected to snow until late afternoon. Got to love the midwest !!

I live in Ohio. It was in the upper 50's yesterday but the wind was crazy. It started to rain last night and throughout the night and this morning it poured. It sounded so miserable outside between the rain and wind, I didn't want to get out of bed. LOL

It was warm when I came to work but throughout the day the temps are supposed to drop and we are supposed to get freezing rain and sleet just in time for the afternoon drive home. I think they are calling for about 3" of snow on top of the ice.

So it's freezing rain/sleeting here in St. Louis with light snow tonight ending by about 7 pm, maybe 1-2". The weather person says we may have a similar storm next week about this time. WHERE IS SPRING ??

I'm in the northern burbs of Chicago and it's gray and windy. We had some flurries early this morning and it was icy out but I'm still, thankfully, working from home.

Thankfully we made it through the storm with no power outage! I will have to check an official source for how much snow we got. Very hard to tell since it is a powdery snow and with all of the blowing and drifting, it is different depths in different areas of my yard.

Very cold this morning, only 1 dregree........🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

But my coffee is nice and warm this morning!😉😉😉
