Ouch its cold.....

Allegheny — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 14:26:25 GMT

Like many of you, SW Pennsylvania is caught up in this cold front. We're 10 right now without the wind chill. I look forward to Saturday, they say we could get up to 50.

I'm in Ohio. Not only is it frigid but we are getting snow and have a lake effect snow warning through I believe tomorrow morning. Some areas are expected to get a foot or more.

Right now with the windchill it's -7 here.

I just checked - the windchill is -18 degrees right now.

We're supposed to warm up a little bit tomorrow, but more snow is on the way. My daughter is coming home tomorrow from college. I hope we can beat the snow before it gets bad.

It's crazy because Saturday it's supposed to be 49 and rain but then the rain is supposed to change back over to snow Saturday night!

49 will feel like a heat wave compared to today and tomorrow. LOL

I'm east of Cleveland, in the traditional "snow belt." Last Friday we were hit with a ton of snow, and the roads were not cleared, it was a mess (I never made it to work that day). Today, I feared the worst because of the cold, blowing and drifting lake effect snow. Well, as luck would have it, the winds have changed and most of the snow is over Cleveland and their west and south sides. Those roads are totally snow covered and there are white-outs. Other than the bitter cold, I had no problems getting to work!

Here in central NY it is 14. They say it feels like -9. My trees are bending over and the flag is straight out. My snow is moving south. Mother Nature is blowing my driveway out. Yesterday was cold but little wind and lots of sun so you did not feel the chill as much. Tomorrow we are to have a high of 21 and more wind. 38 on Sat and 43 on Sun. Winter is here.

-9° in my backyard near Minneapolis with a wind chill of -21°. Nasty cold with snow on the way. Looks like a bad winter this year!

Yeah we got a dusting last week here! LOL

I had one of the local radio stations on this morning and a woman called in. She said she got on 271 North in Cuyahoga Falls and there was no snow at all. As soon as she hit Macedonia, it was a total whiteout and she said they were literally going 5mph. She had been on 271 for an hour and a half and still wasn't at the 480 split!!!! She was going to work in Shaker Heights.

I think I would have given up and went home. LOL

It's 10 degrees right now. I don't know what the windchill is. We are going out for breakfast ,as we do every morning. But to tell the truth I dread going out

We've been lucky as far as snow (SW PA). Got our first substantial snow Wednesday evening, about 5 inches. Usually we get nailed. DH & I were out and about yesterday and I found it quite pleasant. Roads had been cleared and were dry, bright sunshine, blue skies. Temps were about 28, but having no wind made a real difference.

Here in Butler County in Western PA it is 11 with windchill of -5. Saturday we will have freezing rain turning over to rain in the afternoon. I am grateful yo be able to work from home.

@Lipstickdiva It's so nice to be able to talk with someone who also lives in this area. I did have the TV on all morning before I left the house. Channel 19 puts Jon Loughman out on the roads (they must not like him much), and they were going like 7 MPH on 71. You couldn't even see where the road was. I kept looking out my window to check........I couldn't believe it wasn't snowing in Mentor. We did get a few inches overnight. What city or area do you live in? (You probably told me before, but I forgot.)

I'm close by (near the famous battlefield of the Civil War in PA) .... and had to hunt my porch rug this morning. The 'winds of war' blew it off somewhere in my neighbor's yard!

No snow here in Ky., but wind chill is -1. We are in for a roller coaster ride. Cold forecasted for today and tomorrow. Saturday they are saying the temp will rise into the 60s, then plummet down for a high in the 30s for Sunday.

@cosmic1 Hi Neighbor. You're about 25 miles north of me. It nice to see someone 'local'. I will say, your weather up there always amazes me.

Re: Ouch its cold.....

Allegheny — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 15:34:12 GMT

@mercyMe I know where you are. Delightful another neighbor! Well may-be by about 25 miles.

I came up I-71 this morning, almost 3 hours to get from the airport downtown. Fun morning.

@CrazyDaisy I'm glad you made it up 71 this morning. I was watching those weather chaser guys on Channel 19 this morning on Rt. 71. It was a real mess.......even the weather chaser was only going about 7 mph much of the time.
