The Weather.

I may have spoken too soon, lol.

“Afternoon Thoughts-

As expected the models have continued to trend on a more westerly track this morning into this afternoon, next important batch of data is this evening. We feel the storm will continue to trend further west as we have been mentioning for a few days now. We will not make any changes to the forecast till late tonight or early tomorrow, important to stay tuned.”
 
It's going to get to a balmy 35F today. Woo! But it's not expected to get above freezing again until Monday. We don't expect anything more than a light dusting of snow in Central Virginia tonight - and fingers crossed that holds true! There have been several instances of frozen pipes in the city - creating ice patches and hazardous driving.

My heated water bowl is supposed to come tonight. Poor little opossums and raccoons.
 
Of course, the one good thing about having freezing cold weather is that the dog poop in the yard is frozen solid. :rolleyes:
 
It is snowing in Tallahassee which is in the panhandle. 37 degrees here in DeLand and raining. Some people's phones are saying snow flurries in Deltona but I don't believe it! :D It has dropped from 50 when I got up and will continue to drop into the 20's over night. And the wind is blowing. I hate this!
 
Our forecast for snow ranges from 4 to 12 inches, depending on the weather source, lol. They all agree on high winds, though, which is the part that scares me. I've done my prepping, but I really hope the power stays on. I think my next investment will be a generator.
 
I can get either 2-4 or 5-8 lol. It’s so random. I like how they started calling it now casting instead of forecasting. Apparently there’s a fine line running right through my location...if you’re west of the line you get less. If you’re East you get more. Of course, the line keeps moving, hahahahaha. So I’m not sure which side I’ll be on. Stayed tuned...

LOL, this is what is going on in my area as well. My town is very close to the line, so it's a crapshoot right now. I'm going to watch the news in a few to see whether they have a clearer idea of where this is going. It's supposed to start in a couple of hours.

I got upgraded! Lol. In the “warning” area now. I remain skeptical. It’s funny how this is the storm I posted last week that disappeared overnight. I guess it decided to come back.

Hope everyone stays safe. Coastal areas will get hit pretty bad. Sorry for those of you who don’t have the luxury of hunkering down like I do.

My daughter works in Brooklyn. I’m waiting to see if she will work from home today. I hope so.

My app says 8-12 for you. And it’s the same for my daughter who is East of you. Her forecast was worse last night but I guess they tweaked it now that it’s closer.

We were supposed to get a dusting, but got 4 inches and that pretty much shut down the city because of the freezing temps and the snow combined.

And I know I'm probably worrying about nothing, but I haven't seen my squirrels yet today. They're usually out first thing, but all I've seen are birds so far. :(

But wow! All the birds: a woodpecker, blue jays, cardinals, sparrows, wrens, juncos and chickadees. I suspect some of my neighbors didn't fill their feeders ahead of the storm and so everyone is here.
 
They were saying on the news last night that it would be the first snow in Florida in 30 years.

I just saw the pictures of the dead sharks washed up on the beach in Cape Cod and the iguanas falling out of the trees in Florida.:(
