This morning when I left it was 57 F with a storm warning forecasted. They let everyone at work leave early if they wanted to, and after 11 there was only a handful of people left! I left at 3:30, it was in the teens, pelting ice, and my car was covered in ice!
So glad I live close to work!

The weather is insane! Below normal all week here plunging into the near freezing and below in the north on Thursday morning. It has been an unusual winter already!
What a lovely day!
It was dark, raining and cold when I left this morning and so windy that I couldn't use my umbrella. Just the weather for a nice, relaxing, 30 minute walk, lol.
I heard on the radio that it is 'Blue Monday' today - the most depressing day of the year!

It is a chilly morning here today at 41 degrees but the sun is shining and it should be nicer than yesterday reaching the low 60's. This is still well below normal. This week is a roller coaster! Warming to 70 tomorrow then back to 55 then up a little again. I think the rain is done for a couple days. I don't mind if it is chilly if the sun is shining!
It's back to the cold again. All the snow is gone, but apparently we are getting more tomorrow into Wednesday. I don't think it will be a lot. I will check out the news later to see what they say.
ETA: 4 to 8 inches supposedly. Just enough to mess up the drive to work. Blah.

Our snow isn’t supposed to start until this afternoon so the commute home will be tricky for some, including the hubster. Of course, he works so infrequently but he always seems to get a call asking him to go in when the weather is extreme, lol. He gets to battle the traffic on 684...a mere 28 mike stretch of roadway that often takes two hours because it’s a major route for upstate commuters who work in the city.
Anyway, I digress. We are in the 4-8 range but HV Weather is covering their butts by saying there is a potential for a “bust” due to slots of dry/warmer air and they can’t predict what areas those slots will affect. How much you wanna bet it be directly over my house, hahahahaha. I always say my house is under a dome. Oh well, I’m happy for anninch or two. I’m dealing much better this year, for some reason. Maybe because it finally got cold and it feels like Winter. We’ve had several snow showers, too which is nice because it doesn’t stick to the roadways so driving isn’t an issue and shoveling is minimal. Just enough to give that nice Winter feel.

This winter has been unusual. We normally get a couple days of "cold" and then it stays in the 70's most of the time. We have already had one "arctic blast" and are getting another one this week. People do not know how to deal with this and some homes have no heat. Space heaters are the solution but there have been a couple of fatal fires due to ignorance on how to use them. I want winter done!
I know that some other parts of the country have had snow. We might get sleet or snow later here.
It's very cold here today. Brr. I can't wait to have a hot bath this evening.

I think we can all stop complaining about the weather now.
A Thermometer Just Broke At -62°C (-80°F) In The World’s Coldest Village, And The Photos Are Breathtaking

That makes me feel cold just thinking about it!
I just saw on the news that some places have lots of snow.
It actually feels milder here and it's sunny.

Yeah, it was a bust for me. The 4-8 inches they predicted overnight ended up barely being an inch. I can still see grass, lol. Unless it continues over the next few hours but it’s not likely.
I’m actually not mad today because I really want to go to Work. We moved our office and I have a lot of cleaning and organizing to do yet. I’m not sure I’m going to like the new office set up but being at the other end of the building will be a nice change.

Same here, and I was happy because the roads were fine. We got maybe two inches, but part of the grass on the front lawn is visible.
It was bitterly cold at the weekend, but this morning it is mild enough here for me to have the door to the garden open. I can't wait for Spring.
