We got another 5 inches on top of the 9 we already had. Not as cold as you northern guys, but too cold for this old man to take the jeep out! (I really wanted to though!) The tag on the front kind of made me laugh!
Come on summer

We are under a winter storm warning for the next 24 hours here in N.E. Alabama.
It's raining right now, but will be changing over to sleet and snow soon.
The biggest concern is ice. These kinds of storms tend to have their way with the power grid.

No, I have gas heat if the power fails.
The low in the morning is only 30F, but that's below freezing, so driving will be hazardous.

so glad I moved to Florida, where I dance my legs off in the rain!
Until warmer temps arrive, I'm making the best of what we got and doing a lot of climbing/snowshoeing. Last weekend on Mt Greylock:
you can't tell from this picture, but the snow here on this pond is about 1-1/2 feet deep. So fun.

I was hoping for warmer weather today, left the house it was 2, got to work it was -10, currently building a lakeside house and we installed the wrap around porch posts and beams today so it was a bit brisk! 6"-12" expected at the end of this week...

The sleet has started for round two here in the south although the worst will come tomorrow. Where I am in NE Alabama, the Governor has already declared a state of emergency and over in Georgia it's the same plus the President has declared a Federal emergency ahead of this storm. I'm hoping that the forecasters are over shooting this one, but we are preparing to be without power for several days. This won't be much fun if we do indeed loose power.
Keep the folks here in the South in your prayers, we're not used to this kind of weather!

Oh man, that sucks! Stay warm and stay safe!
Thanks Nick. We'll try. I hope the power doesn't go out.

Thankfully we still have our power here in NE Alabama, but the snow is still falling and the temperature is falling with it.
I just read that Georgia has almost a quarter million without power all of the way from Dallas to Augusta. (Dallas is where Double Nickle lives). This may be one for the record books by the time it's done!
I hope everyone stays safe.

It was almost a half a million at one point. I'm about 15 minutes from Double Nickle, been stuck in my house since Tuesday night. The sun came out today and melted most of the snow and ice.
Can't wait to go to work tomorrow, how sick is THAT?
