After a week of above freezing and rain we are back to normal.

No rough commute for me as I never work on Fridays

Not looking good but at least it's not freezing. I will play it by ear to see if we're going to close early.

Pretty much sums up this morning....

90% of the roads were heavily salted but the car took a good 5 minutes to scrape. The frameless windows made things more fun.

The snow is changing to freezing rain. Sent all the staff home before it gets worse.

Another day near 60F in February. I hope this doesn't mean we'll be frying in high temps by April. Last summer was brutally hot and humid. Enough of that.

All is calm right now in Minneapolis with a temp of 12 Fahrenheit and no snow. Starting later today and through Thursday afternoon the forecast calls for 20 to 30 inches of snow, bitter cold, and windy. My kiddos school district already called it and said no school tomorrow and Thursday. Could be the biggest blizzard here since Halloween in 1991. I really hope the experts aren't right.

For those in other states/areas close to Minneapolis I'm sure you are getting some weather too. Stay safe and warm!

That one's supposed to hit us too on Wednesday afternoon/evening. Day time temps around -3C (27F) with 20mm (3/4") of "freezing rain" and 5-10cm (2-4") of snow.

What is the rain to snow conversion again? I remember 1mm rain = 1cm snow from somewhere?

Probably another frozen car picture in the future...

Don't know what's gotten into LA since late November, but it's been quite cold, cloudy, and rainy here. A few days of sunshine sprinked in but it's generally been ugly out. Another week of clouds and rain awaits.

Wind is HOWLING. Power is already off at work due to fallen tree, but generator is functional for now

When precipitation starts over next 12-24, there could be snow in Malibu

Yep, big winds here too, Wede. Expecting 3 inches of rain over the next few days. Got the pump set up for the back yard.

Might be the last big rain of the season.

Got some icy rain. The roads are super salty. Thankfully, I did not have work today so my car stayed inside.

Apparently, the subdivision nearby has no power. Trees etc down in other areas. Thankfully, we're all good where I am.
