@Kachina624, I'm in the upper Midwest you referenced. Yesterday we had a Red Alert for fire, today it is blowing like a banshee and we are expecting 8" of snow. Yuck! The good news is that it won't last long. I am prepared to hole up until sometime Friday.

I always say Amarillo, Tx.    Don't care if people know where I live LOL

Snow day for us in Denver.  40mph winds, snowing about 1"-2" per hour & low visibility.  There's about 8" of snow piled up on my balcony railing right now.  The noon temp was around 30° yet it was sunny & 70° yesterday.  Interesting how quickly these storms can move in.  I woke up around 3:30 a.m. & there was only a little rain.  Went back to sleep until 6 & it was snowing like crazy.  Yup, springtime in the Rockies!

 

Well, I think it's time to snuggle down under a quilt & take a nap.  Yawn...

Puppy just let me know he had to go outside. It started snowing a couple of hours ago. I was shocked when I had to plant my full weight against the door to open it far enough to let him out! I'm guessing it's around 10-12", with more to come. Woman Surprised

@Perkup  Amen, I totally agree.  It's doesn't make much sense to mention your weather without some clue as to where you are.

winds have died down some down here. Idiot who bought my giant rock went down the wrong street with it. LOL he had to back down the mile long street because he couldn't turn around the long flat bed truck that had the front end loader on it with the boulder rock.

 

Weighs over 500 pds hope the wind doesn't blow it over !

For those who question why rock?  I've come to understand here in Tx.

where dry as a bone most of the time you decorate with what you normally wouldn't even think about elsewhere. I've seen yards using driftwood as decoration. I got sheet metal cactus too. Fencing, is gas pipe.

 

My sisters back up in Southern Ind. go "what"? LOL

When I was outside earlier, it was 70.  The wind has really, really picked up and it started to pour.  The rain is supposed to change to a rain/snow mix later tonight and tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 40!
