It's about to hit the fan for us on Friday.

Same here. Depending on the location we can have up to 6” of the white stuff, plus 1/4" of ice. I'm stocked up on bread, milk and eggs. 🤣
Really though, I have enough beer and whiskey to get me through the weekend.
Just need to refill my 5-gal kerosene can tonight to make sure I have emergency heat if the ice takes the power lines out.

I ain't skeeirt of nothin' but that daggum ice. One report I heard this morning was 3/4" of ice. Been there, done that. Don't ever want to do it again.
We are out of power for 2.5 weeks. There's nothing like taking a shower in a 42 degree bathroom!
At least this time around, we have a gas fireplace, 2 kerosene heaters and another gas heater out in the sunroom. Prepping for the worst, hoping for the best.

Yeah, 3/4" of ice is a heck of a lot to weigh on tree limbs and power lines. I've seen widespread damage from far less. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
My hot water heater is electric, so showers wouldn't be happening. I'd be using a pot of water heated on a camp stove to wash up.

Where he is now? He may get what he wants...

Well it looks like the winds are finally dying down. Now perhaps the firefighters can get a handle on the wildfires that are still burning out of control in Los Angeles County.

4” yesterday and 5”+ this morning and the wife’s happy…..
She loves it when it snows 😜 -
Fires here are insane and heartbreaking. I think @nooshinjohn lives up off the 101 somewhere. There's a new fire in that area right now (north of the 101) approaching homes.

My sister had to evacuate from her home in Hollywood because of the mandatory evacuation orders.
Over 6000 homes and structures have been completely destroyed. No containment in sight.
A smokey sunset in LA. -

Rare for northeast Texas. About 6” since yesterday morning. Supposed to get up to about 36 degrees today, so it won’t last long.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -

First significant snow in Metro Atlanta since December 2017? I had 3-4" overnight and then it started sleeting and turning the nice powder into a slushy mess. We are supposed to have a freezing rain later and a hard freeze tonight. Things probably won't thaw until Sunday or Monday. Side roads receive no treatment from the county, so I won't be going anywhere for a couple days.
-
Calling now for 3-5" in SE VA.
(@Hermitism, that's just north of South Dakota)
We'll see. We typically just end up with rain.
I like snow for a day or three, and then that's enough. Gets pretty messy around here with the sand they spread.

No, it's because they can't stand Ron.

Thanks! The fire was closer to a friend's house, and got within a block or two, but no damage. The fire burned away from us, but we did get quite a show from the aerial ballet show from water droppers, and a near endless parade of apparatus driving by our house. Thank God the winds shifted a bit and died down.The Gear...

A 3.5 is not even worth mentioning , really it isn't. 🥱 -
Glad to hear, John.
I would tell you about our conditions but it's still in a crap shoot. It's either bad or really bad, untilnthw morning......or beyond. The ice is the main varient.

It is amazing how when one gets older that they can smell the difference between snow and ice.
