Hi,
We are just getting out of it.
temp. dipped down to -30C(wind chill -40C) almost 2 feet of snow,
strong wind. Snow drift buried many cars parked on the side of streets,
abandoned on highways. Me and family is fine. Just couldn't walk our
dog, Walter for whole week, too cold and icy for his paws.

Tonight -- Las Vegas -- Partly cloudy with a chance of snow after
midnight. Low of 27F. Winds less than 5 mph. Chance of snow 50%.

Ow. I was just there earlier this week and the weather was much nicer.

I still remember the blizzard that hit southern Manitoba on March 4, 1966.
I was 10 years old at the time. That blizzard dumped about 3 feet of snow on us, but the wind blew it into drifts that were much higher than 3 feet. My family and I were living in a town of about 4400 people about 25 miles north of Winnipeg at the time. I remember there was a snow drift that went all the way to the roof of our house. My two sisters and me played by climbing up that snow drift onto the roof of our house and jumping off the roof on the other side of our house into the 3 or so feet deep snow there.

The March 4 Blizzard of 1966 by George Siamandas

We got a similar blizzard on November 7th and 8th of 1986.
dnsyl57: Blizzard of 1986
The most powerful local radio station, CJOB, was used as a public service bulletin board to get volunteers with snowmobiles to transport doctors and nurses to the local hospitals, as well as getting prescription drugs to people that needed them.

That was the only time I've ever seen snowmobiles driving up and down the streets of Winnipeg.

It was. I'm on pipe and pool pump patrol this week, so they don't
freeze. Next week will get warmer from climate change

Here in N. central Ar we're past the icing phase , now it's just snowing
heavily . Got like 6"-8" on the ground and still falling . At this stage of
the storm I think it unlikely we'll lose power unless some idiot takes out a
pole between here and wherever ours comes from .

That happened to me, a week ago, last Friday.
Wasn't even a storm, that day. Power out, two

The ice covered trees can still fall if the wind picks up. I heard some

Reached a high of +12C here in "the great white north" - Waterloo
Ontario, yesterday. We've had about 2 inches of snow in total so far,
and it's all gone at the moment. The Yamaha Snow Blower has the
heated grips installed so I'm ready for it when it comes - and the new
7200 watt generator is ready to go as well.

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!

No. I don't follow Algore, either.

I don't mind the forecast too much, though. ...as long as "wet" isn't
like last year's wet. The Northeast can have the Snow and cold,
though. They deserve it.

35 years ago I owned a real dog, he retrieved bricks when I threw them
as far as I could. I raised him from a pup and he grew to be a cute
little 100lb Weimaraner. By the time he was a year old he could stand on
his hind legs and put his front paws on my shoulders but I'm only 5' 12"
tall. The end of my thumbs and Sandy's paws are the same size, darn
pocket puppy. ^_^

I'm actually quite suprised that you guys get this kind of weather as far south as northern Texas and Oklahoma.

I was under the impression that it rarely got below freezing in that area.

I've been dealing with frozen water and drainage pipes in my house and
barn, and I just found a cracked toilet in the trailer house I'm fixing.
What ****es me off is that I put RV antifreeze in that toilet, but
apparently there was just enough water in it to not let the anti-freeze
do it's job.

I'll bet that plumbers will be busy all over the country fixing broken
pipes due to freezing. And of course linemen and electricians will be
working round the clock in the south.

It used to be that people went south when the weather got too cold for
them, but now that the climate has gone bonkers, there is no longer that
option. I thought global warming was going to end these severe
winters.....

I hate winter!!!!

The climate is the same as it has always been.

What has changed is that we have weather reporters (notice I didn't say meteorologists) that hype the **** out of a
minor weather event so the station can sell more advertising. It's all about the stock price and executive bonuses, ya
know?



When you want the real weather, go here and punch in your zip code:

"Global Warming" is a misnomer. The more correct term is "climate
change". Global warming can be argued successfully - climate change
can not.
Hotter hots, colder colds, wetter wets,stormier storms, and drier
dries, with conditions such as snow and flood occurring where they
have never/seldom occurred before

The true problem is spray cans,and global cooling.

Yes here comes the story of the Hurricane

For something that he never done
Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.
