I think we should all maybe think about preparing for the solar minimum if we keep getting these types of winter storms (prolonged cold) especially as it's hitting the south.

And we are too far north....

Central New Mexico is supposed to stay comfortably warm and dry this week - highs in the 50's. Then it gets freezing cold and snowy on Sunday. Lows might go below zero in the mountains, and it'll be below freezing for a couple of days.

Of course, that's a few days away, but it's time to get wood under cover along with the tractor.

Who out there in glp land is getting hammered by this lastest winter storm doom?

I'm in KY, right on the impact zone of what the forecasters and media are calling an emergency situation. We are expected up to 1" of ice thru tomorrow afternoon.
Ppl around here have been in a state of near panic for the last 2 days in preparation for this "event" that was scheduled to kick in significantly last night. Well.....this morning we have nothing outside but a bit of sprinkles thru the early morning hours with temps above freezing (so far). The radar is showing a clearing but yet travel restrictions are planned for this afternoon and the alerts are still going out. We have been told that power outage are expected, and will last for several days. On top of that, the temps are supposed to drop down to near 0 by Sunday. It's scaring the old people and causing panic buying everywhere!

So, my question is....
Who is getting hit by this "monster" winter storm because it's not us (so far)?
 Quoting: Roadkill Bill


Are you anywhere along I-75? We are supposed to travel on 75 tomorrow morning through KY and I don't want to go but husband acts like it will be not big deal. Opinion?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77590476


Weather map says there will be snow from Richmond north to Cincinnati starting tomorrow morning. There is already snow on the ground. It's only about an inch but temperatures are hovering around 28 to 32 which can turn icy in a hurry. The precipitation travels south through the day as temperatures lower, so make sure you have survival gear in your car and keep cell phones charged. You can sign up for AAA today and it gets activated immediately, they give you an account number which you tell to the tow truck guy.

You can check out the weather yourself on [link to www.ventusky.com (secure)] There is a calendar at the bottom left to change the dates, and hourly buttons along the bottom of the screen. Menu on the left allows selection of things like temperature, precipitation, wind speed, snow cover, etc.

No, I'm closer to I 65. But, looks like most of the state will be impacted. I'd definitely check the weather beforehand.

Something quite new in Southeast Texas. We already received 4 inches of snow a couple weeks ago, and that was very unusual. To have this again, in the same year, is really, really unusual.

This reminds me of the "massive" winter storm (Orlena?) 10 days ago in Pennsylvania...we were traveling back to Michigan from VA & stopped driving for the night because they were describing sections of PA as impassible...we decided to take our chances & drive on the next day & lo and behold, completely dry, clear roads. I was like wtf is this?? The weather radar on the news was showing tons of snow in the areas we were driving through & nothing. It was bizarre.

 Quoting: InTheGLPHood




Something is definitely "off" pertaining to the weather patterns. Not just this storm. So far, it's been a mild winter where I live. But the rain has been off the charts in the last few months. In roughly 6 weeks or so, we've had 4 flash floods in this area. We may get one every 5 to 10 years. That may not mean much to some, but planting season is just a few weeks away and I don't recall a time when the ground was this saturated, this early in the year. So, yeah, you're on to something

Been crap here for snowfall in the PNW, specifically white pass in the cascades near naches.

Last year we had nearly 150 inches, we barely have 80 right now.

Was supposed to be flying out of Dulles for Phoenix ... flight cancelled, a minor thing of 12" of snow on the ground over the previous 3 hours with another 30" on the way over the next 12 hours ... DAMN I thought to myself - almost made it out of Dodge!!

Versus being stuck in DC FOR DAYS I decide to drive back to Lexington VA, me, one state patrol car, and about 25 plows were the only things I saw on the way back south and then across Afton Mtn (that was a MESS - only reason I got across was because I followed a DOUBLE gang plow group (2 sets of 3 plows) up and over the mountain) and then down the valley. EVERYTHING was then shut down along I-81 for 2 days - back at my parents in Ohio it was worse, they had to bring in Airport Runway Snow Blowers from Wright Patt to open up the expressways and main roads!! Parents had 12' drifts in places - actual snowfall was over 50".

Serepta Ann, you're giving me a glimpse of my first winter in Iowa - NEXT year (moving there late February). In hometown Houston, 21 degrees is something to remember. Good to be in retirement with ability to hibernate.
 Quoting: TXGLP2


I lived in SE Iowa for fifteen years. It's a very hard place to live. I can't imagine anyone choosing to go there. Brutal cold and wind in the winter, humid and non-stop bugs in the summer, and the worst ragweed in the entire world all fall. The springtime is beautiful but only lasts for three days. And I'm not even exaggerating.

That's happened here too mamy times to count. Seems someone is always crying wolf with the weather regardless of the season. Years ago, I was doing a job in Nashville when tornado warnings went out. No one paid much attn because we've all grown numb to weather alerts. But, on that day, 3 direct hits on the north, south and east side of town by EF3 & 4 tornadoes (right at the start of rush hour)....and everyone got the message. That was something that you just had to be there to witness.

The weather channels love reporting on the doom and chaos of storms and the aftermath, but never on their false alarms and mass panic.

I just moved back North after living in the South for 20 years, I did enjoy the summer weather but missed having the 4 seasons.

The first thaw of Spring, everyone runs out to wash their cars & unpack their summer wardrobe...every moment of Summer is enjoyed thoroughly because we know it won't last...The crisp air of Autumn & the beautiful fall colors, hayrides & cider mills...and the White Christmas, the cuddling inside with a hot meal watching the snow fall, skiing & sledding....

To each his own, I suppose....
