Stella is the name they gave this snow storm. I don't know when they started naming snowstorms but Stella will go down as a nasty piece of work as she rages outside. So far we have over a foot of snow and it's coming down like it's never going to stop.
It's almost white-out conditions and I can barely see the house across the street.
But, the good news is we still have power and internet so I am making my coffee and can myLot for awhile. The internet is VERY slow this morning but at least I have a connection.
Who knows what the day will bring but at least I am starting out on a good note.
What's going on with you today?

It is very cool, in the 50s. It will go up to the 60 later in the day. I think we will go out to the movies later and see LA LA Land.

Enjoy your Florida weather! My neighbor came home from Florida the other day and I bet she's sorry they didn't stay longer

Not a lot really my friend but glad to hear you are safe and sound from that raging storm up there.
I remember those ferocious storms when I lived by the sea on the North Shore.
Exciting but treacherous.

Treacherous is exactly the right word. I'm watching the news and it boggles my mind when I see people traveling and getting stuck or into accidents

@Marilynda1225 I am glad too, but scared at the same time, it is too warm and we do not know what to expect next.

Stella is a strange name for a storm. Glad that you are having a warm sunny day

Our local hardware stores had to get all that snow stuff out of storage since they had figured the season was over and were ready for spring. I'm sure price gouging will happen when people need shovels, snow blowers etc

I'm hoping this ends soon and that this will be the last we see for the winter

Sorry that your Stella is so mean to your area.
Here, Toronto area, right now not bad at all, but who knows for how long.
Like you wrote, at least you haven't lost your power, you have your coffee and your Internet, so you day will be okay. Just don't go out there driving.

I have no intention of going anywhere today. My car is safely in the garage and probably very happy to stay there.

You are getting it good. Stay inside and enjoy the power while you have it and be prepared.
Very cold here and will get colder tonight.....but not a flake.

Blizzard conditions here and I'm sure you remember how bad a Nor'easter can be

I didn't know they names snowstorms either. She sounds like she is going to be a nasty one. We are bracing for it this evening and into tomorrow. Stay safe and I hope you don't lose your power.

This is definitely a nasty storm where I live in CT. I haven't lost power and I do have a generator ust in case. We're expecting up to 20 inches plus sleet and freezing rain later.
