Here on the West Coast, we are looking at a couple storms over the next few days as well, so there is likely much more to come beyond the current storm(s) already moving eastward.

It should make for some interesting NFL games as well.

Here's to power being restored soon to all those affected so far.

A narrow miss here. Mostly rain in Southeast Ohio

We always seem to miss the big ones lately.

Has global warming happened yet?

Some environmentalist in Oklahoma was feeling righteous about buying his new Pious to stop global warming as he hit the brakes and slid on black ice from Tulsa to OKC.

people still lacked electricity after the first storm slammed Oklahoma

We were travelling up I35 a few days ago and lost count at 325 electrical repair trucks heading to Oklahoma. Made me wish I'd installed a fireplace.

I have a question for people living in this part of the country. I have a business trip coming up in early January (the 9th, to be exact) and bad weather freaks me out. Living here in Phoenix, I don't even own a winter coat. The trip is something that I should go to, for appearances, but I don't want to risk getting caught in bad weather. I'll be flying from Phoenix to Lexington and then taking a two-hour shuttle to Cincinnati. (Long story) How bad does the weather have to be in that area for travel to become really ugly? At what point should I think twice about making the trip?

I do NOT miss that weather at all! I much prefer the rain of the Pacific NorthWET to all that ice. Never goin’ back again.....

All my family is Minnesota and Midwest based, I moved West years ago. You get used to and allow for inclimate weather, but I hear ya. ;-)

The winter is the best time to go , no mosquitos and lots of ice fishing. and the beer stays colder longer too . :-}

[Just Lori]

You either go, or you don’t. If you do go, buy a warm coat.

We’re getting a picturesque couple of inches at nice leisurely rate here in Chi-town. Even so, on the way to the corner 7-11, to lay in a few supplies needed to “foster” my good spirits, I had to wait a few minutes while a car that had slid off the road was being stowed on a flatbed wrecker. All part of the festivities.

I was sort of disappointed. We missed it altogether. Drove up to McConnellsville thinking we would run into snow. It just rained all evening and was not even very cold. Had a nice time though. That historical little town is beautiful at Christmas time. Had horse drawn wagons, choirs on the courthouse steps, merchants open late and giving away goodies. Then saw a good show at the Opry house. It was good to get away from the mad rush around here. Merry Christmas!

My family and hubby’s family are in MO, WI, and ME. I spent the first 37 years of my life in MO. I wish I had moved out here sooner, but I know how to drive in some pretty knarly conditions. I am constantly amazed at folks who think their 4WD makes them immune to road conditions.

[WVNan]

Honey, if your plane lands the weather ain’t that bad, and the shuttle will run. Buy the coat and enjoy the trip.

[NormsRevenge]

The driving part is definitely an art, you have to learn how to go with the slide,, not goose it and give yourself lots of room.

Here’s to a snowy Monday night game for Da Bears and the Vikes. ;-)
