It is 2:00 AM. There is no sleeping through this.  I don't sleep well on a peaceful night so I can forget sleeping through this.

It's 41 now and raining and the temperatures are starting to drop.  It's supposed to get down to 14.

But for right now, the wind is the thing. It is absolutely howling at times. No trees around my house, they're pretty far back, but I keep hearing noises from the wind all of our neighborhood and hope no one's house is being damaged. 

I'm in north Metro Atlanta.

@BalletBabe  Sounds to me like your temp's are like a day at the spa to most of the U.S.  Count your blessings !

Same here - I'm on Long Island.

It's oddly mild out, which they said would happen.  The wind is crazy right now and it's only going to get worse.  I hear things moving, blowing, and crashing all around me.  I'm worried about all of my outdoor Christmas decorations too, as I'm sure some people are thinking about.  I hope we don't lose anything.

Losing power would be awful and I'm sure it's inevitable.  This is such a bad time of year for this to happen for so many reasons.  Ugh.

I have also been up for hours with the heavy rain and wind, I'm in New Jersey. Right now it's 55 degrees and by tonight it will be around 11degrees. 

Everybody stay safe and warm.

Atlanta's weather sounds similar to what we are having in the Boston area.  We are expecting massive rain (up to 2 inches!) and winds from 30 to 60 MPH. today.

This is supposed to continue until Saturday morning.  The power companies and weather forecasters are all saying we need to be prepared for possible power outages.  Can you imagine the food loss if that happens with everybody's refrigerators bursting with Holiday supplies?  The wind and rain are bringing temps into the 50s now, but then Saturday will be arctic circle cold.  As far as I am concerned, it can rain, bluster and be freezing cold as long as the power stays on!    It's time to get the National Guard out when the cable and internet goes out!!  At least the outdoors can become my freezer if the fridge stops working!

Im in NC approximately 50 mi southeast of Ashville and the wind has just started.  No rain or snow yet.

@gidgetgh If my house falls on a witch today, it is NOT my fault. Just a bit of a breeze! 🌬🌪

I dont know how folks with dogs handle these brutal temps and winds and snow amounts.

I also am always amazed how we dont get weather info for Canada on tv when they are talking about across the country. I mean, how brutal is it there?!?

Im in Sarasota and its 68-70 at 5:45 am right now. My thoughts are with you all, especially those with those scary high winds. I actually am hoping for our temps dropping to 35ish Sat & Sun just to feel more holiday-like. I dont have to go anywhere. Even without the heat on, it stays warmer inside. 

I wish you all safety and comfort for you and ones you care about.
