Winter Storm DOOM. Who Gets Hit and Who Doesn't? NWS Update pg 13

Oh and it's -17C here (Windchill down to -25C) with heavy winds and some ice crystals in the air making for a lovely light pillar show as a sign of the oncoming apocalypse.

When it gets way down below zero it actually feels warmer than Texas at 35.

I know this because I used to live close to Montreal back in the 70's and we had MONTHS in a row where it never got about zero Fahrenheit

The reason below zero weather usually doesn't feel as cols as it sounds is the wind doesn't blow when it's that cold, and the sun is almost always out in the daytime, that and there is zero moisture in the air.

There will be plenty of winds and no sun in this large oncoming winter storm.

Yes, I know this song is actually about cocaine, but whatever .......

We have up to two feet of snow forecast for North east Texas.

One model says 6-10 inches and the other 16-23 inches. Low temp of 5 degrees and a high in the fucking teens.

Going to be a lot of business for plumbers, and firemen.

Either way, I'm glad I still have my old snowmobile and kept in in running order, these parts have never seen a snowplow.

Well aint that a bitch?!

Where are you?

Batesville ar
About an1/8 inch coating from just drizzle since last night. Most moisture between 2am - 8am in the morning. I have a tree over my house that I’m building , so I’m going to climb it and take it down.

Where are you seeing this??? I live in Hunt County and see only 1-3 inches forecast for Monday.

Good times! Back when people were people!

Our whole neighborhood would slide down the hill at Mr. Tibbs house. My mom would spray WD-40 on our jeans to make them water proof & they would always send me (the youngest) to ask Mr. Tibbs to turn his back yard flood light no for us...he always did :)

Great times!

I saw it on the local news out of Shreveport La. They presented data from two sources ; the national weather service and the the so called "european model".

Looking over this precipitation forecast and taking into consideration 1 inch of rain equals 10-15 inches of snow at 15 degrees, based on my own experience i'd say they are right IF it does get as cold as expected.

I'm in Alaska. It was -20 here 2 days ago. 15 now. Quite nice. Got 10 inches of snow in the last 18 hours. Not a big deal. Life goes on. Not sure why so many people freak out when it gets cold or icy

I used to live in Anchorage. The answer is simple:

The deep south does not have the equipment to have ice and snow as Alaska does. The houses are also not built to keep in heat, but to stay cooler during the hot summers -- no triple pane windows, no R-100 insulation.

It would be like taking you, right now, plopping your ass in 105 degree temps with 90% humidity, in full mid-day sun, and calling you a wimp for sweating.

Then wondering why you are so damned wimpy when you learn a Cat 1 is inbound.

Arkansas here. People freaking out. Didn't even see the grocery store so busy when first lock down was announced.

All the bread gone. All the milk gone. All the eggs gone.

People acting like its gonna be a bad one.

Everyone stay safe.

Gas station wasn't too bad. Saw plenty filling up jerry cans for generators.

Definitely!

Northern Ohio getting a pass, this time

-30 here this morning, Kamloops, BC, Canada

In what is known as the bullseye center of this thing south of the Bluegrass.... Not sure how I feel right now. Don't have any heat if I lose my power. I have lots of blankets so I guess I will survive. 3/4 tank of gas but I do not think I will be able to get in it if it ices as it ices the doors shut, much less the handles. And my outside door handles will break if they ice and you try to open them. I'm inside for the duration. I expect.... weather says freezing rain tonight until sometimes tomorrow afternoon sometimes.

This must be a front or something because I'm getting a light drizzle, very light and it's not the coldest rain I've been in in Kentucky here. Been outside and it's nice for Kentucky winter weather, usual stuff. Kentucky's had a real mild winter this year so far IMO. No wind to speak of, nothing yet. Suppose to start after midnight here.

Right now, mushy ground that will freeze in this next week and crunch if you walk on it. My front door ramp will turn into a slide that is hard to come up without ice picks but the dogs climb it no problem after they potty. LOL And I expect all the doors and car to have a layer of ice that either the sun melts when it comes out for the one day this next week they are saying it's peeking out a short time, or I'm iced inside my house and I'm not leaving for around 8-9 days or so. That's if I get hit by this ice storm that I'm suppose to be in the bullseye of. I'm still waiting..... south central KY micro-climate. Seems KY has "micro-climates" and the state varies in how weather happens. Like SF is a micro-climate in CA and the surrounding areas are different weather temps and patterns. It's very interesting how that works to me. But it's another subject for another day.

Nothing yet. Nothing. Just wet with small puddles that will freeze into ice for a week or two. Dangerous to get out. Hope no one loses power. Me included. LOL
