Big winter storm

[RogerDuke]

Looks like a cold week ahead. Negative 5 last night. Big time snow coming in. Even north Georgia in the bullseye. I called Uncle Jesse on the CB but he already knew, He can predict weather by how the wild critters behave. 

Post your weather report here. It looks like Hoss is the only one safe from this winter monster.

We've had a miserable few days of rain, but no freezing temperatures for over a week. I think the coldest where I live was about -5C which is 23F. If you had -5F, that's about -20.5C to the rest of the world.

My brother said "An ice storm is coming."

My brother said "An ice storm is coming." Our Mom said "It's supposed to get bad here."

The snow is over for the most part. 18 inches. Pretty manageable here on Lake Erie. Super cold the next several days. We have a full tank of propane and a fire in the woodstove so we're good.

There were yellow wind and rain warnings in place here for most of the day, but where I live, we got away lightly. It was just a wet, miserable day with a few heavy showers. A couple of places in Co. Wexford got badly flooded when the river burst its banks.

Uh oh about the flooding. That's not good. 😨

It's been VERY cold down here in the South Eastern part of the USA...mostly ice....very dangerous!

Going to be the coldest night of the winter. Will end up being well below zero before morning Sun. Maybe even break a record. Not an all time record, but a record for this day.

Hit negative 8 last night. A record for Jan 30 but not all time record.

You gonna get snow Hobie? Big storm coming down there.

More yellow rain warnings in Ireland, but so far it hasn't been that bad where I live. Miserable weather, but no flooding.

About all we ever get around here the last few days is ice!

We got a little but nothing to speak of.

Where you been? I've been worried! Have you been feeling ok?

[HossC]

I hope everyone's doing OK. Some of the sources I've just checked say the January storms have claimed over 100 lives in the US. Some people here got flooded out of their homes in the recent bad weather, but I didn't see any reports of deaths.
