Winter storm 1/2025

-3 this morning, toss a few more chunck of wood in the boiler.

New England is burning more oil than natural gas this morning, yippy!
 
My high temperature yesterday was -24°F.
Ive been in -20 ish at night before. That is so frigid. My old SUV was very unhappy to be started in such cold temps but it did start. The power steering screamed like a banshee for the first few miles until it warmed up a bit, despite having let it run for a few minutes before driving.

That was one of the nights I had ice on the inside walls of my apartment. And had no water in the morning when I was went to get a shower because the pipes froze. (They froze again a few days later, and burst, while I was gone. That was fun.)
 
My Friday high is 56 with a low of 40, I will be bundled up like an Eskimo.
It is currently 8 outside. I'm in a t shirt indoors (72). I grabbed the trash can from the curb this morning, no coat. Brisk! Wouldn't stay out long like that bit no wind to speak of so it wasn't bad.
 
This is NOT an exaggeration ... we have white out conditions here, and we can hear thunder. Thundersnow in Louisiana??? WTF??? Weather folks are showing lightning strikes a few miles from here. And we have at least 2 more hours of this.

All bridges and overpasses are closed.
 
I would be willing to trade you locations for the winter months?
Yesterday our high was -8f
At least we will go above 0f today as the worse of it looks to be over for now.
Still along ways away from records being set, but those -30f - -50f windchills do have a bite
Today should be a long day, I'm 3 hours south of you and it's -10°F right now. This morning was around -17°F.
 
I agree, 40+ years ago I enlisted into the service, it was early February in Minnesota and temps where -0f, I don't recall actual temp. Landed in Atlanta for a connecting flight to South Carolina heading to fort jackson. Exit the plane in Atlanta and it felt like a heat wave simply exciting the plane, could feel the humid warmth....I'm sure I looked silly all dress to the hilt for the cold I just left behind.

Yep the temp is on the rise here as well with them SSW winds, stay out of the wind and its not so bad....
For a few minutes ;)
I grew up in this crap and as I age and gave up most winter outdoor activities the more I dislike anything under 50f, But looking forward to something near 32f+ as that will feel like its in the 70s after this short reminder that it's January from mother nature

You have more snow on the ground then we do...
Most storms have been missing my location all winter, just like last winter
Lack of snow with these temps usually means water main breaks soon to be on the local news
 
SW Michigan. -4deg F, sunny and currently producing 26% over rated PV output :cool: loving it.
 
It's a balmy 26f here in southern Ms. What's a little strange is this....

My kid is down in Biloxi, sent me pics of the snow in his backyard, looks about like yours. That's pretty cold and wet way far south. Only nice thing is it will likely be gone in 2 days.

Yeah its only snowed four times in the last 38 years. Two were hardly more than a dusting, one was about 3 inches and this time is looking to be a record.
 
You've gotten more than we have here in Ohio. Jelly (but not really at the same time).
Same here we got 4” Sunday night of light fluffy stuff, used the snowblower for the first time this season, even though it prob would have taken the same time to just shovel.
