The Weather.

[Second Summer]

We've got snow again here as well. Unfortunately, the snow started a bit late, around the time when I was about to go to work, so the roads were still clear, so I had to go to work. Now I'm probably going to be snowed in at work rather than snowed in at home Well, we'll see. They tend to exaggerate the snow forecasts a bit around here, so maybe it won't be as much snow as they think.

The snow isn't very deep here although it is still snowing now.

^What a cute little community.

I'd love to own a house like yours.

You probably wouldn't say that if you had to put up with some of my neighbours. Snow makes everything look pretty.

Pretty picture!

Snowed in Eastern TN and people are goin crazy here and its the third day in a row that schools are closed. Earlier in the week flooding now snow.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

50F. I am freezing. I am not good in cold weather.

10C

It's settled at about 4-5 inches of snow, -2 degrees pretty consistent throughout the day and night.

Brrrr... Not much warmer inside my room than outdoors.

There is no more snow falling here today and it was sunny and bright for a while this morning.

I got a text from someone last night saying that the grit salt for the roads can be deadly to cats and dogs. I hadn't heard of that before but I saw this article online from a couple of years ago. Hundreds of dogs and cats die from rock salt scattered by gritters in big freeze | Mail Online

I knew about antifreeze but not rock salt.

We are finally having a week of winter. Temps will be under 30*F for the next 5-7 days. Sadly, no snow to speak of...only snow showers later today. But I'm happy to have seasonal temps at least.

My dad always hated rock salt; he said it was horrible for the flora, fauna, and the undercarriage of his car. We used kitty litter on the slippery spots.

Yes, I had heard about antifreeze but not salt, it's a bit worrying. I haven't taken my dogs to the park while it's snowing because I was concerned that there might be broken glass on the paths as there is usually around my way. Two of my cats had to go to the vet as they cut their paw on broken glass near our house a few years ago when it was snowy.

I was surprised that the post and a parcel were delivered today. The companies must be making more of an effort despite the snow.

I didn't know that about rock salt!
This is what I woke up to this morning, bearing in mind the road and path were completely clear yesterday at bedtime!



My heating is right up, me and the children have about 7 layers each on and I'm still bloody cold! I hate being cold!!!

 

[thefadedone]

High of 16 today. Whoo hoo! Gotta enjoy that because it will be single digits the next few days and negatives at night. Lake effect snow predicted for today also.

ETA: I was skeptical about the snow because the weather was clear at the time it was reported but a few hours later we got the storm. It's still coming down and looks like a blustery, snowy, icy mess out there. It's going to continue into tomorrow.

 

[RabbitLuvr]

Saturday it was 50F, but I don't think it will get above freezing any day this week.

******* cold and I hate it.

 

[KLS52]

I feel like Sally in the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Significant snow was being predicted for Friday and now all I'm getting are cloudy skies.

I'VE BEEN ROBBED!! THEY OWE ME RESTITUTION!!

 

[KLS52]

Ok...what's with the teeny lettering, lol.

 

[shyvas]
