We seem to have 2 seasons here in S Texas, January 21st and the rest of the year. Gonna be back up to 73 this weekend, so back to normal so to speak.

Took the dog for a quick walk this morning, brushed her coat real quick in the yard. Had to run downtown for a deposition for work. Hopped back in my squad car to head back to the south side- about a 45 min drive with traffic... the heat was out in the car until about 5 blocks away from my house. Rode with the window slightly down so the car wouldn't fog up.
it was -2F.

My kids wanted to take the day off to go see the snow up north and I seriously considered it. I don’t care if it’s 40 below, I got a heater in my truck and 4wd that’s been use less than 5 miles in the last 165,000 miles.This message has been edited. Last edited by: trapper189,

Yes, because in a weather emergency, what you will need is French toast.

For a second there I though you said the state of Florida was closed.

We expect to reopen if it ever gets warm again.

Mid-40s here, snow nearly gone from the yard, roofs slowly clearing.
Snowmen in the back yard are still standing, for now.

I’ll bet the Donners wished they had vegan French toast from Tavern on the Green:
If you toast the French member of the Donner party, it's nearly the same thing, right?

NOLA got ~8 inches. Over here near Pensacola we got 9+ inches. Crushed the all time record set in 1895. I have 2+ acres including some woods and a creek. was so quiet and beautiful down there yesterday when coming down. Took a few lovely pics of the house just covered in snow. may use as a Christmas card picture as a funny. I need a better photo hosting.
But yeah, entire FL western panhandle losing their minds. Closed schools in my county ALL WEEK ?! A lot of snow not in the shade has already melted. Will be cold and freezing again tonight so ice tomorrow on roads may be an issue.

Spent 5 winters in Alaska ( Ft. Greely / Delta Junction /Fairbanks )... Since fall of 1979 have lived near Baton Rouge, Louisiana....This event would have been laughed at because we were prepaired for it... Not like down here in south Louisiana where we have been shut down for a good 3 1/2 days...We stayed inside because if the local idiots cannot drive on clean and dry roads then going to be safe and away from them....Especially the 4 wheel / all wheel drive vehicles people have no common sense and get themselves in trouble.................... drill sgt.

Went for a drive yesterday, Gulf Breeze to Navarre, not a lot of traffic and all the snow and ice looked beautiful.

No white rain here, but it's chilly, high in the 40's for the past few days, expected wind temps this weekend in the 20's
The Daytona 24 Hours is this weekend, bet those racers will love the heat generated by the high power cars...

Gonna make the tire choices interesting.
You guys up north missing your ducks? There's 5,000 (I'm not exaggerating) bluebills in the river by my dad's house. I've never seen that many ducks at once, ever.
