It came down but didn't stick to the steps, courtyard, driveway or streets. No complaints from me!

Tomorrow I'll try to continue working in the garage if it's not too cold.

Same here, it didn't stick to anything that would need to be shoveled. As to temps, plenty cold. I watched the weather at noon and they said wind chills for tomorrow supposed to be worse than today. Then there is something about a snow storm on Saturday?

Yes! A big storm heading our way on Saturday. Weather Underground showed 8 to 12" early this morning but it's been revised to 5 to 8".

Cold here, with the highs in the teens for the last few days and lows near 0F, but I'm really happy that we only got about an inch of new snow; 30 miles north of us they got a couple of feet of the white stuff recently Sticking tongue out

I am happy to see snow up on the mountains. There was no snow pack last year.

We only got serious rain out of yesterday's storm at my elevation ...
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.

Foussi, it's always good when the weather starts warming up! I'm getting very itchy to start some seeds -- but I'm going to have to be patient for about another month. Smiling

I am happy to have taken a walk along the beach with my dog. Let her off leash and she got her exercise by running and running while I slowing walked along.

Happy to have gotten to the supermarket today for fresh bread and milk and such before the nasty weather expected this weekend.

Yes, it looked like the storm was heading for you, Rita! Lily isn't going to be happy about that...

I am really unhappy. The current news said 12 inches. Lily doesn't know the snow is coming but you better believe she will refuse to go outside on Saturday.

Ouch, a foot of snow is a lot at one time! We still only have a few inches on the ground.

Happy ours is all sleet -- so far --

Glad to read most everybody is snug and safe!
Don't squat with yer spurs on!

People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved

Happy to have a bit of snow! We do not always get it and most things were closed yesterday, I reorganized my closet yesterday since I didn't drive to work. I used the method described in The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Looks beautiful.

It looks like Long Island is getting pounded pretty good by the storm and expecting flooding -- I hope Rita is safe and sound! (and everyone else in the path of "Jonas" -- it's such a mess when the highly populated areas get so much snow Sad )

I am glad I don't live by the water, here we have only 1" of snow which is slowly melting.
