Storm report from here in Madison,WI, I am about 2 miles south of downtown.
So far, we have about 12-14 inches down here at my home. I measured it at at 8 am and its still coming down, 2-4 more inches expected. THe winds have not started really roaring yet, but they are getting there. Madison Metro has shut down for the time being, conditions are too dangerous. The city has pretty much shut down for the day. Lots of reports of power lines down from falling tree brances, it is a very wet heavy snow. *knock wood* so far my power has not gone out.
I have to say it is quite beautiful at the moment. I have taken a bunch of pics, some before the sun came up, then some more when I was out measuring. Haven't downloaded them yet, but will post them up as soon as I get around to that. It is supposed to get real ugly out there though once those winds get going and the temp drops.
At the moment I am glad I live in an Apartment don't have go snow blow and shovel!

I would gladly send you the snow from up here. I hate snow!

We're under a winter storm warning right now. It's coming down pretty good right now. They were forecasting 5-9 inches, but now they're saying 7-11. At least I was already scheduled for vacation the rest of this week so I didn't have to worry about driving in it. FH made it to school in 3.5 hours, when it normally takes him 2.

Take our snow.......please!

Well, OK, we only had about 7 inches before it changed over to sleet and freezing rain and then just plain rain. But 7 inches is 7 inches too much. It's not bad out right now, but tonight the temp is supposed to plummet and stay in the freezer for the next few days, which means that any snow that does not melt will freeze solid. And turn into ruts.

(I am not amused.)

IA. If you need me, just meow..
I'm in IA and so far I think we have 8+ inches maybe more. It's still going strong...
I'm off to work soon, wish me luck I don't get stuck or in an accident. I hate driving when it's like this. I'm a nervous driver already, this just adds to it...

Chicago was supposed to get dumped on, but it must've gone north. I'm a little dissapointed because I took my last vacation day today and was actually looking forward to staying inside and watching it snow!

We're further east in NW NJ, but we have about 5 inches. It's raining now and temps supposed to fall tonight, so we're gonna have lovely ice skating rinks instead of roads.

There's no place like home
We only got about an inch last night but we woke up to 11 degrees (F) and that is supposed to be the high for today, dropping below 0 tonight. A couple days of this freeze then we're supposed to get dumped on again.

And to think it's not even winter yet.

It's not nearly as cold here, but we are definitely going to start paying for those above normal temps that lasted through last week. We're going to be in those 11s and 12s at night. Can you imagine how nuts Gary would be going if we hadn't brought Billy inside last year?

We were supposed to get 8 to 10 inches last night...looks like we got about 6. It's not snowing right now, but we are supposed to get another 2 to 4 inches before it turns to sleet. We also have a high wind warning, with gusts up to 45 MPH.

We were buried under a mound of fat wet slush this morning and it's all gone now.

I think there is some good wintery weather heading our way tonight though so I better wake up to some pretty snow on the ground or I'm gonna be mad.

We've some 8 inches or so here, and its snowing again today, but not expected to get more than another 2. Very very cold though, -19C today, which is a big step up from yesterday and the day before at -28!

I am on the south shore of Lake Ontario in New York State. It is like the calm before the wind here. No snow, a little freezing rain this am.

But just 30 miles south of here, the winds have blown trees into houses and taken down power lines. Lake Erie is under a flood watch from erosion. Huge waves.

They say the winds will be up to 60mph later today and tonight. I hate wind especially in the night. We have alot of old pines that really worry me!

Tomorrow, they say it could get blizzard like. Schools apt to be closed. Although no snow on ground right now.

Oh well, put another log on the fire.....
