Winter Weather Watch 2024

[H-Virus]

Just had our first big snowstorm here in the midwest. Assumed approximately 9 inches of snowfall, although some of it melted right away, still at least 5-6 inches on the ground. Wind's blowing like crazy and the temperature is projected to drop to single digits tonight and into the negatives by the weekend. Also my work site is closed so at least I get to stay home, so there's that.

How are things looking for the rest of you?

While it won't be all that cold, over the next two days NYC is expecting 2-3 inches of rain and winds with gusts up to 60 MPH.

A lot of rain coming today in Jersey.

I think that storm you just got is headed up here to Southern Ontario, it's already begun.

Between the rain and the snow, going to be a lot of flooding.

I feel this in my soul.

I work in a gov office that deals with all the road stuff. I got people screaming at me "WE NEED TO GET OUT THE KIDS NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL WE'VE BEEN STUCK HERE FOR DAYS" and all the schools are cancelled today and the first flake of snow was at about 11pm last night. My job was threatened twice so far this morning because of people not able to get to work. I am currently looking out the window and the snow is blowing sideways and we are in a tow ban. I got a motorgrader broke down right now because he started to plow a drift and found an abandoned car hidden inside of it that crashed earlier today. I've got 14 active 911 calls showing accidents in the last hour.

But yeah, F#%# me for not having the roads in dry, summertime driving conditions during a massive snow storm.


I no longer can tell where the drugs end and the stupidity begins. A certain segment of the population broke their damn brain over the last decade.

Just wanna say as a southern Californian probably experiencing the least worst of this: f*** this weather

[Muskrat]

We got 2-3 inches of light powdery snow on the weekend, with 2-3 more expected tonight into tomorrow. Can no longer see any grass in my yard. Also, it's -22C here today which might be the first it's dropped under -20C this winter. We certainly haven't had any sustain time at that temperature

I live on the south shore of Massachusetts. We got some snow over the weekend, not much more than maybe four inches. The worst part of it was the driving. We're supposed to get another storm tonight into tomorrow, but wind and rain this time.

Mid Michigan.

Gross out but not snowstormy. Still see grass peeking through what little snow is on the ground. Weather app says it is 34 and changing to rain.

Rain here

[EvenBaldobombHasAJob]

Supposed to have a level 5 killstorm in northern Ontario tonight

[Cyno]

Lots of rain and expecting even more rain in a few hours.

It's pretty shitty out. We got about 8 inches since last night and it is still snowing and is supposed to keep snowing until overnight. This is the first real snow we've had in two years and I've seen some amazingly stupid maneuvering just sitting here in my home office.

I ran over to my mom's house over lunch and cleared her driveway and sidewalk. I tried to help a car that was stuck trying to get up a hill and I told them not to let off the gas once we got going forward. What I should have told them is please let off the gas and hit your brakes once we actually get moving. Maybe they would have done the opposite and not still be stuck.

It's been a pretty steady snowfall, but it's too warm to really stick, maybe we're at 3 inches right now, looked out earlier when I woke up and it was VERY HEAVY snow. Temps are supposed to drop to single digits this weekend though, with more snow, so I'm planning on just staying in and rewatching Death Note.

Dear Asshole,

I don't care how many commercials you've seen that show 4 Wheel Drive Vehicles driving over mountains and shit. That's fake. They don't make you immune to winter driving. It's just like those perfect looking burgers in McDonald's commercials. They are fake. You are the reason we need disclaimers like "beer does not actually make hotties fall in love with you".

Signed,

Me

(Just over 75% of all the 911 calls today are for 4 wheel drive vehicles being stuck)

Barely anything in Battle Creek, MI. Some very light snow that barely dusted the ground and melted by the afternoon yesterday. More of the very light, barely there snow today.

[Mecca]

Sitting here in KC...with about 7 inches of snow on the ground...about 10 fell the first 3 didn't stick much and turned to slush before the snow...tree branches hanging down covered, wind blowing it everywhere...it's 27 now and by Sunday it will be a high of 1...yes 1. Oh and more snow is expected over the weekend.

[Renslayer]

I can deal with the rain. But the wind is what always f**** me up

[tirtefaa]

Legitimately the only perk I have working from home.

I remember driving to work a couple years ago in white out conditions on the interstate going 15 miles per hour, missing both the exit signs and the exits because you could not see anything. Still can't believe I got there and back given how poor condition everything was.
