SE Michigan: Cold and snowy, but the snow’s stopped falling. Now I just have to get out there and blow it. Schools were cancelled today. ---

Central Virginia, started off with a little snow and ice, school 2 hours late. Then about 10:00 it cleared up, the cumulus clouds were racing by against a clear blue sky. I shot a video, I’m easily impressed. Now it’s cloudy and grey but no rain or snow. ---

Eastern Bumfuck CT, Just did a foray out to Willimantic to fuel up the momvan, pay a couple bills and grab some chinese takeout for lunch. Got a lovely beef stew on the woodstove simmering for dinner and am working on a couple loaves of bread and a [buttercake](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1B-zZy4TUo) for dessert, all to be baked in the woodstove. Chickens, guineas, geese and ducks all fed, watered and tucked in for the storm, food sorted out for the barn cats and ferals. Wood box in house filled, and pile on the back deck topped off and covered with the tarp. mrAru is on the way home from work in Hartford. House is ready for the impending power outage. ---

A dozen or so blocks south of Central Park on Broadway here in Manhattan, and it’s Snowmaggedon Part Deux: The Snowpocalypse. Though right now we’re still somewhere in the opening credits, I think, so it’s just Cold, Grey Sleetmaggedon. Actually, looking out the window, I do see some snow, so I think it’s “Wintry Mix”-maggedon. I hate that phrase, “Wintry Mix.” ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > Snow started. Projecting from the increasing numbers for the coming storm, there will be 200 feet of snow and 6000 mile per hour wind gusts. I suppose I ought to look for the shovel. Hee. It’s been snowing since this morning but the real storm hasn’t hit yet. A moderate 23 degrees. ---

Here in Seattle, it’s in the 40s and dry, for the moment. We will peobably not get anymore snow this winter. There are signs of spring. The crocus have been up for about a week and I noticed this morning our daffodils are just peeking out of the ground. ---

Coastal Massachusetts near Rhode Island. It’s been snowing since mid-morning. Quite heavy now, gusty winds. Lights have blinked once. Some nearby facebook friends have no power. Other have reported thunder and lightning, but I haven’t heard any. ---

25 degrees right now… It snowed just a bit during the day today. Now it’s coming down pretty heavy. Ugh. I have to Malone, NY (about 2 hours North of here) at 5am tommorrow. What a nightmare! ☹ ---

Central Jersey shore - cold, windy and rainy, but no snow. Unfortunately, I’m hearing reports that the ocean has breached the barrier island in some places. Ortley Beach was one of the most devastated spots by Sandy anywhere, and it seems they’re taking yet another shot as we speak. ---

Here in Oshawa, the snow is decreasing. We’ve had a good fall, over 20 cm. I helped push a car and driver out of the non-ditch along the side of the road beside the apartment building; the car was simply in the curb lane, which had maybe 15 cm of dry powdery snow mixed with road salt. But the car was did not seem to be equipped with winter tires, and it had difficulty gaining traction. My feet in their light winter boots had not difficulty finding traction… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hows-the-weather-out-there/649700.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hows-the-weather-out-there/649700.md?page=3)
