The weather people have just said is official, we are having a blizzard. I had already known that by looking out the window. The temp is in the low teens, winds sustained at over 30 to 40 miles per hour. Blowing and drifting snow. Heavy snow falling and going to continue thru the night and into tomorrow. I am hybernating, I don't have to go anywhere for a few days. I live in Northern Ohio, how is your weather?

I'm sorry about your bad weather :( We also had a lot of snow overnight here in Missouri, and of course all of the schools seem to be closed today and I am glad that I have no reason to wish to get out. It's very cold and nasty outside right now. But what really irked me was that the idea of freezing rain turning into snow last night ruined some plans that really, really meant a lot to me. I had to stay home instead of seeing people that I had not been able to see for months, people who mean a lot to me. I know that that's just life, but i really can't stand this time of the year. Bring on the good weather! I need the summertime, lol! ^_^

I am sorry to hear your plans got screwed up. A few hours south of here are getting freezing rain. We have the heavy snow. I don't like wintertime, I am ready for spring. Everything around here is closed.

I'm near NYC and we're getting the mess that you got yesterday. Not a lot of inches of snow on the ground, but a lot of freezing rain and heavy winds. It's been called a blizzard here, too. A real mess. If the ice builds up on branches and electrical wires, watch out below...

Today we had sunshine, what a difference a day makes. The snow has stopped the clean up begins. Good luck with the aftermath of your storms. Freezing rain is the worst, be careful out there. Hopefully the power stays on. Some places lost power for a few hours, I lost internet for a few hours. I was going thru withdrawels, haha.

I am sooo jealous. It was 40 degrees and raining here today. We have only had one small dusting of snow a few weeks ago. We did have some bitter cold days last week but no snow. There is no snow in our forecast this week either. *puts lower lip out* Oh, I am in Eastern Kentucky.

I am in Wisconsin. It is -3 now, should be 13 today. With no snow in sight until Saturday. Then they are just predicting snow showers. We haven't had snow in over a week. But I don't know what is worse the snow or the cold.

We had a couple of weeks of bitter cold. Now we have the cold and the snow. I think the cold is easier to deal with by itself. At least you don't have to shovel it.

We are having some seriously nasty weather here in Delaware right now as we have had mostly sleet mixed with snow and freezing rain so far and it is not supposed to end til tomorrow morning. It is going to be dangerously icy on the roads tonight and for tomorrows rush hour. I am bit concerned about driving in this weather since we have lots of people that do not drive safely.

You can come over and get all the snow you want, I sure don't want it. I lost internet for a few hours, cause of the weather. I just got it back. Its really bad out, we might end up with a foot of snow. Yuk!! All the schools are closed today and tomorrow. Some of the roads are closed too. I will send the snow you way.
