“And hoping you weren’t the one that didn’t make it.”

I always made it. My ‘85 Riviera and my Matador were better on snow and ice than the 4X4 rigs everyone else had.

From Western Pa.

Sat. morning and it’s really a blizzard out there now....loud too....temp went to 20 and dropping , wind chill is just 1 degree. I’ts a whiteout , very bad visibility, .....we have three Weather alerts and no wonder with what I woke up to. Crazy out there!

We live in a gully here with hills all around so i can’t imagine what the hill tops are getting!

[caww]

It’s radical here without question....I can’t see the streetlight ! It’s a total whiteout like a Blizzard with horizontal snowing. Actually it’s going all directions...Temps continue to drop we’re at 20 wind chill 1 degree currently and falling.

What’s amazing is it’s LOUD! Haven’t had it this bad since moving here 16 years ago.

Here in SW Ohio, the temp -10 and wind chill is -35

” it’s cold out there
Colder than a ticket taker’s smile
At the Ivar Theatre, on a Saturday night”

That’s coming here with the temps continuing to drop....but we’re getting it all. I’m amazed - truly. It’s so loud!

*whispering* ...... I hope she’s sleeping. Or napping in front of the TV......

[radu]

I hope the worst DID pass north of you. The frigid air is more than enough to deal with. It’s only 10 degrees here this afternoon but the wind died down while I was asleep. WOOHOO! Still enough of a breeze to hurt if one steps outside.

[radu]

Howdy, MS.B! *HUGZ*

You aren’t the only one who worries about Kathy and the shoveling she’s been doing. There’s a LOT of snow up there to dig through.
Maybe today’s howling winds will blow some of the snow off her steps. Holy cow, it’s crazy up there today! The wind is kicking up snow BIG time.

Is this storm clobbering you today? The worst is over here other than the frigid temps it left behind. BRRRRRR
