Oh dear! Where are you? It's probably headed straight toward us here in Ohio. What a wild winter. Hope you have power soon.

Ugh sorry @CalminHeart . Big March storms are the absolute worst when you are seeing Spring around the corner. I hope you get your power back soon.

I'm in RI and our forecast is for 50 mph winds and very heavy rain starting this evening and lasting all night. Great, we'll most likey lose power and not get any sleep at all. The only silver lining is that it's actually quite warm this morning, we're at 50 degrees already and overcast.

We'll take this over a blizzard any day. Be safe everyone!

Here in southern NC, we are supposed to get lots & lots of rain with strong winds. The news had warnings for people to watch for fallen trees on the roads.

Often times, the weather people are wrong.

Hope everyone with bad predictions stays safe.

I'm working from home today and glad because it's already getting windy hear in SE MD. Warm too. We rarely lose power as all our lines are underground, but there are a lot of trees that I can see may succumb to the high winds we may have. Fortunately, none are near the house. Stay safe folks!

North NJ here. Out doing some errands earlier and a large dead limb fell from a tree and missed my car by 15 feet as I was driving near a wooded area. More wind and rain to come later in the day. Stay safe out there.

@CalminHeart. That sounds terrible. I hope you have some type of non-electric heat source.

I had distant cousins, a brother and sister, who perished in a storm like that years ago in SW Kansas. It started snowing while they were in church and by the time they left, they were in a full-blown blizzard. They never made it home.

I'm also in the midwest/St.L and it'ss currentlly 35 degrees with winds @ 30-31 mph and has been up to 50 mph. There's a wind advisory and we got a little snow overnight. No power outages where I am thank goodness ! Come on Spring !

Ugh, more winter weather, I am in the midwest. My wedding anniversary is toward the end of March, our wedding day was beautiful, warm and sunny. We went away for a 1 week honeymoon and came home to snow...March is an iffy month but I am ready for consistent sun and warmer weather.

We had those winds yesterday. We get a lot of wind here but not like that. Sounded like the 3 little pigs were trying to blow our house down. It's still windy today but not 50 mph wind gusts.

Our temperatures dropped but it still wasn't that cold. I know our heater came on last night.

Stay safe.

In east central PA. a good soaking rain which we need badly and gusty wind on and off. I think it's in the upper 50's. Temperatures are going to go back down again, though for a couple of days, but looks like a nice warmup next week.

I'm so sorry about your brother, sister and cousins.

Power came back on after 9 hours out. My furnace got a good workout because it was 50 degrees in my house. The first thing I did was make coffee. LOL

It was a blizzard with -27 degrees on Wednesday, 62 degrees on Thursday, and another big snowstorm and cold temps today. I'm counting the days til spring/summer.
