Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Abnermal]

Minus 8 wonderful degrees here in SE Ohio. Would love to relocate to a much warmer location. Arizona is looking better and better!

It's 5 f going to 20 f. It's supposed to be sunny and clear today. Not so tomorrow.

Coffee is in the Henry mug this morning and it is good.

Eight degrees. Coldest winter I can remember, and we are just getting started.
Hot coffee in the mug, and the regular morning routine. The ms. and I both checking our forums on the tablets and sharing interesting tidbits as we drink our coffee before we start the day. Ms. Tina will be finishing a "lovey" cuddle for a newborn. I will, of course, be working on the OK box.

6°C and dry - at the moment.

19 degrees with a forecast for a trace to 1" of snow late today .... I think I need to fill both Henry coffee mugs this morning

[chuckcook]

It's a crisp 16 degrees outside the tipi this morning!

[Yornoc3]

-6 this morning, a veritable heat wave compared to the recent past. And maybe 22 above by the weekend.

[Sir Henry]

Right at freezing here with what promises to be clear skies.

[Mistered]

21 and partly cloudy but sun and low 40s for later - and maybe I can get out for a short walk later - been down with some stomach issue since yesterday but feeling better today!

Well, this is something we rarely see in Charleston. There is an inch or two of snow on the ground and the temps are in the mid 20s.

It's supposed to keep coming down until about 8:00 tonight. We get enough snow to stick maybe every 4 or 5 years. A big snow is perhaps once a decade. Not sure I'll make it to work tonight. All the bridges and many overpasses are closed right now and it's only getting worse.

[JEBar]

didn't it start as rain/sleet which has left a layer of ice under the snow .. .. that's pretty much what we are expecting around here

[clovishound]

Yep. Ya'll are supposed to get hit harder than we are. I went out and measured it about an hour ago. It was around 4 inches. The weather station a few miles from me was reporting 7 inches. Maybe if the first couple inches didn't melt.

The main difference here is that we don't have the infrastructure set up to handle snow and ice. A couple inches and the city shuts down. When I lived in Omaha, a snow like this would hardly show up on the radar. Of course, they had snow plows and salt and everyone was used to it. Heck, I don't even worry too much about an ice scraper in my car. I use a card from my wallet if I don't have one handy in the car. It's rare to have that thick crust of ice on the windshield. It's usually just a thin coating.

trust me on this one ====> I won't ..

[daytime dave]

18 f and snow coming. Gonna be a cold one tonight.

Coffee in the Smith and Wesson mug this morning then off to work. Enjoy your day and tell us about it over an adult evening beverage of your choice.

[JEBar]

1.5 -2" of snow on top of a .5 to 1" layer of ice .... pretty dang slick .... steaming cup of black coffee in a Henry mug helps

[CT_Shooter]

The storm in CT was just officially declared a Blizzard. I'm expecting 8-12" of snow today, with winds gusting to 60 mph and temps starting in the teens and falling to near zero overnight. We're all just hoping we don't lose power.

JEBar, Really like your truck and camper. Nice outfit.

[Sir Henry]

Miss Evelyn and I spent the night in the new teardrop parked in her driveway. The furnace sure took care of the 30 degree temperature outside. Coffee on the sofa made the morning wakeup more enjoyable.
