Storm 7 hitting 23 states

Because of the blizzards I am at home for the next two days. Schools are closed, businesses are closed and store shelfs are empty. Right now looks horrible, I was driving back home 4mph and I am happy to made it. I am in my bed right now, tired of thinking, because outside is getting worst every minute. Cold, icy, wind with probably 40mph, no place to hide. I am hopping to have no problem with electricity and heat. At least I have involuntary vacations Hugs!

It is real deep with snow where I live too. It started Tuesday and it got deep fast. None of it has melted yet. It is supposed to stay too cold for it too melt away. It is supposed to snow some more sometime this week. I'm glad that our electricity is still on and hope that we can leave our house sometime this week so we can go grocery shopping. I'm thankful to have a warm roof over my house and haven't ran out of food yet.

well, my house has underground utilities - my mom used to lose power regularly before she moved into the Manor... I can't say the cold is a lot of fun, but at least so far it isn't ice! I've put another blanket on my bed and will be sleeping in sweat pants, because I expect the cats will manage to hog the blankets before dawn. Still, if we lose power, we can find a way to light the oven (gas) and at least have that to keep us warmer...

We usually dont get alot of snow or freezing temps here. I live ina rv right now. I have heaters to keep somewhat warm. When the temps drop way down i also stay dressed warm even in the rv. They tell us to leave the water dripping so it dont freeze. Worked great till last night. No body ever said the drains may freeze. Well, they did last nite. Sinks filled up and water and all over the already cold floor. It frooze. The door even froze shut i had to kick it open. Then i had to pour hot water on the door frame to get the ice off so i could close it again. So now since the water cant trickel that may freeze too. I hope not. We should have a few days of warm now so hopefully things will get better. Like i said it usually dont get below 0 here. I hope we are done for the year. Another winter like this will have me selling this rv. Im scared about apt bldg. You neighbor could fall asleep cooking or smoking and burn up all your stuff.

I worry about the storms too. I remember a blizzard here before that shut everything down for weeks. I remember my gas lines freezing on the car I had and having to have it put up on a lift and heaters under it! My b/f's family is in Indiana and they are supposed to be getting a big spanking this week. I do worry about them. They have alternative heat sources and I'm sure they have food. That is what I worry about....alternative heat sources. Take care myLotters! Get that food and alternative heat source if you can!

These really a worrisome news. Which I know this storm will endanger many people lives. We hope so that people in those areas will be prepared enough to combat that fearful storm... This is now what the bible say a 7 seven cup from one of the angels...

I hope that they will be safe and warm as well We have very strong winds here right now and I am hoping that they will not get any stronger My, I would not have survived this Winter in the other Flat no way So lets hope that all our Friends are safe

Got our pantry filled and emergency supplies set up. Ready for whatever comes. Hopefully we'll even be able to ride out the storm online. ;~D

Sounds like up here. So much for global warming. I just hope it is not the start of another ice age. I remember in the50s when it was snowing in Vancouver, B.C. where I lived as a child. It was for only one year, but then I remember my brother and I building an igloo and going in it. Come to think of it, it could have been in 49 because I was going to kindergarten that summer.

Thanks Lakota, I am prepared for this storm, so even if I am not here, I will be warm and safe..:) We had an ice storm move in last night in Ohio, and when I looked at the radar, we are getting a break now, but something big is coming towards us, so it isn't over with yet..

Oh yeah, here in Oklahoma where I live we got about 18 inches of snow. I'm so glad we didn't get all the ice they were talking about, so its not too hard to get around on. Everything is closed in town, even walmart's closed..lol. I think thats as much snow as we've gotten in years, and they're talking another snow storm coming in Monday. I'm enjoying staying in the house and keeping warm, with my hubby, he hasn't been able to go to work either, its just too hard to get out on the roads. I hope everybody is staying safe and warm..God Bless to all.

Blizzard out that way, huh? I have another Mylotter friend that lives in Tennessee. I hope she is okay. And one up in Maine or some such place. I wondered why I hadn't seen her online much lately. It must be because of the weather. Hope all are okay out that way. And, yes, blessings to all of them. You take care.

Hi Lakota, this is quita :) I'm in the middle of this storm and it is bad. I haven't heard any weather reports lately but will put what I know on mylot when I do know. Thanks for caring. And, guys, let;s all pray for our members in these states affected by these terrible blizzards. hugs to you all, quita

Yes indeed we are one of those affected, as we got about 4 feet and still falling, then it turned into thunderstorm rain, and now it is 25 below zero Fahrenheit plus we had a power outage for 2 days. So unfortunately many businesses are closed and many who are homeless I am afraid to say are very left out right now. We are snowed in and lucky here at home it is just my boyfriend and I so we make do with what we have. Sad for the families with small children and of course the homeless.

I am one of the people who do not live in the path of the storm. I will suffer the humid summers here in Georgia as long as we escape the drastic winters.

Its been really cold and windy here the last couple of days. We did have some light blowing snow, but it is so darn windy and cold out.cant wait untill spring

Nothing awful coming my way, but I hope everybody in the storm's path stays safe until it blows over.

I've read a bit about the weather but hadn't seen any radar's. I know it's cold here and I hope it doesn't snow. Not sure what's going on with the weather these days but hope all the mylotters stay safe and warm!

I'm not going to say "it missed us" because it's not over yet. But, so far, we've really lucked out! All we have had, so far, has been rain... nice, wet rain. We're right on the border of rain/ice with this storm system. I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find it still wet outside this morning, meaning that it did not freeze up overnight. Last winter we got over eight feet of snow so I have the feeling that the powers that be are allowing us a bit of a reprieve this year. BUT, the temps are dropping, supposedly dipping into the low-30's by this afternoon and another round of this stuff is heading our way. I am SO hoping that what is out there now doesn't freeze solid overnight because we'll be in a real pickle if that happens. Still, if it gets bad, I'm ready for it. I made sure there is enough of everything here for the duration should it turn bad. The only thing I'd miss would be my internet but I have plenty of books to read so I'll be able to keep myself occupied and out of trouble.

the storm is hitting my state. however, where i live wont' be badly affected. i wish it would snow, but we are only getting freezing cold temperatures. the temperatues will be between negative twenty and negative 30 degrees farenheit. i will be spending almost all of my time inside.
