Many areas of Florida have white stuff on the ground. Only we call it beach sand.

Got a little bit of a lull in Central IN right now, but there is more ice and snow coming this afternoon and evening through tomorrow evening.

I'm in Denver which is the first stop for this monster storm. Not much snow but plenty of cold. -15 air temp, wind chill -20 this morning. I am busy this morning starting neighbors cars. Self deployment issue aside be neighborly - we'll get through it. Good luck everybody.
With regards;

Woke up this morning and there probably 4" out there in Mansfield PA.  Looking forward to some sledding adventures later on!

Well in that case I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of a winter storm in my area.

Clear proof of "Man- Made Global Warming". 

Major Lord

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Oh please not this massive load again. Lets keep going with what the thread is and not turn it into trash.

Still nice and clear here in Bloomington, IN. Though everything is covered with a shinny layer of ice, they decided to close school for Monroe County as I heard it at 0700. Colleges have all canceled for the day most of the way across IN, IVY Tech has closed ALL of it's campuses but Bloomington. Still waiting to see what the rest of the day brings, temp is supposed to stay at a high of 31 with rain chances at 100% at noon.

I think He's being a little sarcastic there.

I was shoveling snow for about an hour this morning. The best part about it, being outside watching all the bad drivers that I had the good fortune to avoid on my way into work.

Visibility in Napa, California is about 50 feet, its 34 Degrees. Sarcasm levels are indeed high here this morning. Southern Indiana must have their sense of humor index below the acceptable threshold.

Very true, I am not in a funny kind of mood. I kept throwing Ice on the sidewalk deck and driveway all night because the ice kept reforming and I didn't want the kids to slip and break an arm or anything new when they had to go to school this morning because our admin system here is full of idiots and didn't call off school until late this morning so we were afraid that they just might have school.

On the bright side I can go ice skating on my pond again.

I have always thought that Hell must be filled with Ice, and not fire.

Well hey, if it is filled with fire, at least it's a dry heat, help the guys in FLWG cook off the moss from their wet heat.

This is breakdown from the weather service in my area

An update from the National Weather Service as of 3:50 a.m. –

·         Forecasting 14-18" of snow for McLean County

·         Precipitation starting around 11 a.m. to noon in our area

·         Looks like little to no ice accumulation for our area; it should be mostly, if not all, snow

·         Winds of 15-25 mph by noon

·         Winds picking up 25-35 by 3 p.m. with gusts to 45 p.m.

·         Sustained high winds until midnight

·         Precipitation ending mid-Wednesday morning

·         In short, the forecast remains the same with a slight uptick (1-2") of snowfall forecast

I am also a member with my county's Emergency Management Agency and starting at Noon on Tuesday we are starting operations and ending sometime on Wednesday.  So almost a 24hr Op, in my almost four years with the agency we have never had a Winter Weather Operation last that long.  Its going to be a very long day!

And before any of the multi-level people counter-attack, be advised its poetry, and in Latin, so open to some interpretation...Nice photo of the Hell sign... thats out by 29 Palms somewhere isn't it?
