That's the worst of it by us, I think ... Hope you're ok, Dana!

Carrot and I are fine and unscathed :p

It was wild and blustery, but no major damage around here that I know of. I daresay a few people have discovered how many loose roof tiles they had on their houses, and the people on the main road will be retrieving wheelie bins and garden furniture from each other's gardens...but that's about it.

60° right now. 1:20 am in South Jersey. 91% humility, too. Disgusting weather for December. And the forecast says snow on Sunday.

Winter storm. It doesn't seem that bad to me, but even area colleges have closed. More snow/sleet coming. Of course, it never seems as bad when you get to hole up in your home. It's not enough for me though: cars are flying by at 60 mph just like always...it's the freaking Indy 500 on my road. I only hope the roads get bad enough to keep Scario Andretti and Slick Trickle home.

Nary a hair out of place for me.
But then I did have a hat on.

Yep, school started 2 hours late today, and it's supposed to freeze/sleet again tonight.

That's the problem with Texas winters, it doesn't get cold enough to freeze the moisture up in the clouds and make it snow like in truly cold states. It just gets barely cold enough to freeze a thick coat of ice over everything, which ends up being more dangerous since you can't just shove it off the roads like you can with snow.

Geeez, high 20's now, but low teens tonight and maybe single digits tomorrow night.

I usually tell people PDX and the Willamette Valley have mild temps,
but these are extraordinary.
We will let the faucets drip a little to (hopefully) keep pipes from freezing.

Brrr....

It was just in the high 70's a few days ago and now it's about 34 degrees. I wish I could drink some hot cocoa and snuggle under the fleece blanket and watch a movie.

It's because I'm not a boxing fan. I can leave my Hatton.
