Lots of blowing snow here in Ottawa which is supposed to continue on for most of the afternoon and evening and surprisingly turn into rain overnight.
At least I was able to get a bus home at a decent time, a jam packed bus full of stinky stinky people and one constantly yammering old guy but still I made it home.

Windy, rainy, and cold in Middle TN. I'll take that over the Tornado we had a month ago.

Update on Death Storm 24, here in the Quad Cities (IL side). While the storm was bad, it's pretty much over now and wasn't nearly as bad as they were saying it was going to be. That said, it was an extremely thin line storm. For instance, about ten miles north of me, as the crow flies, my buddy got almost six inches of snow more than I did. The snow was supposed to change from wet and heavy to light and fluffy but never did. That is a double edged sword. The wet snow doesn't pile up as much and won't be blown around as much by the wind that is picking up now, but it is what is called 'heart attack snow.' Thankful for my snowblower and friends with plow blades.
The good news is that it is supposed to snow again tomorrow night and they are saying we have the potential for another 8 inches Thursday night into Friday. I called it over the holidays when it was almost sixty, January has a way of kicking us in the teeth if we have it mild until then.

Supposed to have a bad spell next week. Days where high is 34 and low is 15.
Figure those days I will stay up all night and keep a fire going in the fireplace in the lving room. That way the house never gets really cold.

Looking at another 6-8 inches over the next 24 hours and the wind's blowing like crazy, no work again today because we can't get any trucks out onto the road.

After a mostly mild December and a winter weather watch that just ended up being a lot of winter rain, it looks like it's our turn to get some snow. We got about an inch Thursday, but that was mostly melted by about 4. Hope to be so lucky over the weekend.

Well, it's -23C right now. -33C with the windchill. Apparently have a couple more inches of snow coming this weekend, this is a little more what a Manitoba winter is supposed to be. Car barely wants to start, even plugged in.

Shoveled my driveway and sidewalk 5 times already this week. Once I'm off work, I get to do it again.

It's getting nastier out, blizzard conditions are moving in followed by a cold front.

I haven't seen the final totals but I'm guessing we got around a foot to 14 inches of snow today. The wind is supposed to pick up tonight and they are saying travel will be near impossible from about 8 tonight to noon tomorrow. The good news is that wind chills will be 25 to 40 below Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. The god damned plow still hasn't done my neighborhood. My buddy with the plow came by earlier today twice and did my driveway. On the second time, I hopped in the truck with him and we went to my mom's house to plow her driveway and I shoveled her walk. She's the next street over, we had to stop three times and pull or push people out of the ditch, or in one case, just help someone in the middle of the road.
I'm pretty understanding about the plows and road commissioner having thankless jobs, but this is unacceptable. If they aren't going to plow the roads now, then when?

Well, after the expected storm earlier this week turned I to a ball of nothing, this one looks legit so far. Between now and the morning they're calling for 10-25cm of snow. I just looked out the window and there was a good chunk of snow on my car. After that it should get a bit colder for the next few days but still relatively mild. We've barely made it to -10c this winter so far. It's been closer to 0c.

It’s going to be really cold in Memphis. Maybe 3-6 inches of snow on Monday. Talk of rolling blackouts that hopefully won’t last as long as last time. But mostly hoping to avoid the boil warning we’ve had the last couple of winter storms,
