stacya Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Happy New Year! My luger is back in Lake Placid this week. I've made more trips this season than I care to count, lol. It's a 7-7.5 hour ride in good weather. Last week's trip back home was crappy weather and was 8.5 hours long. My daughter, Kendall, is on the left, with her BFF teammate 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People only a single block north of me lost power Friday night and just got it back yesterday. I had power all weekend and only lost internet for about 12 hours. I know I was EXTREMELY fortunate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Pam Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Here in the Greater Seattle area we’re coming out of our week long cold spell. Overnight lows dipped into the teens, which is very cold for us, but it was partly sunny and dry the entire week; no snow accumulation to speak of at all. PSE said there was strain on “the grid,” but as far as I know there were very few outages. We had no issues at all. Later today I’ll swing by my box garden and see how the leeks and leaf lettuce weathered the cold. I’ll uncover the 45-gallon black garbage bag from my rosemary bush as well and see how it did over a week without light. Lows are supposed to stay in the 30s for awhile.

HanShotFirst Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I have a snow day today! We got hit hard (for the South) with snow Sunday and Monday. Ended up with 5 inches of snow and it is brutally cold. Single digit temps at night and not above 20 for a high the last 2 days. Crazy for Memphis and way too cold for me. We might get some ice Thursday on top of the snow. Ugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Super cold here. Wife’s school had a cold day today and then tomorrow she is off again and my daughters school is closed also. With windchill it’s supposed to be like -22 tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Pam Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Greater Seattle area had its cold spell last week where lows were in the teens and highs in the low to mid twenties. But it was dry and we had no snow. Lows overnight were in the low twenties and we’re expected to get into the upper thirties this afternoon, with temperatures hovering around there for the next week or so. As far as I know, all of the school districts remained open during the bitter cold last week, but both districts that I sub for today are closed due to “hazardous road conditions.” So far no snow still, but there is rain and I guess icy conditions are expected. With the steep hills in some areas, apparently buses may be unable to complete their routes, so the districts are closed. We’ll see if that continues as these temperatures and rain is expected to be ongoing for the next week or so.

packratfamily Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Hi. Checking in for January and enjoying our snow. Sucked that our furnace quit last nite but a few heaters got us thru til the repairman got it fixed today. Toasty now. And putting out lots of birdseed. edit to add: We did get to spend Christmas camping at the beach. Was sunny and about 50°. Think we will make that an annual trip.

HanShotFirst Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Day 5 of snow and now ice on the ground. Day 4 of not leaving the house. I’m trying my best not to go stir crazy but this cold weather can go so the snow and ice will melt. The South isn’t built for this for sure!

wittenlover Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Ah the joys of being a homeowner... Been out shoveling the last couple days to make sure my walks are safe for me and anyone else that may be out walking. At least I have a couple good snow shovels the previous owners left for me. Win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve run the snow blower a few times here. Makes me wish I had bought the bigger one and got a self propelled one lol. Tried to be nice and do at least the sidewalks for my two neighbors while I was out there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marathonshopper Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Finally checking in for January. It’s cold and sloppy weather here in Oklahoma. A week ago we got our second snow for the winter and that hadn’t fully melted off our yard and then freezing rain last night through this morning. Haven’t seen any of the flurries my phone keeps telling me we are having….YAY!!! It at least is supposed to get up to 41 today and then progressively a little warmer each day until Friday, up to 56 degrees! I am NOT a winter weather person at all. I hate hauling in firewood and keeping a fire going 24/7 to help cut down on the electric and gas bills and I really don’t like having to bundle up to stay warm. I should live somewhere where it stays warm all the time!! Here’s hoping to a warmer February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
