Well we might get a bit tonight that we could wake up to, but I expect it to be gone by the time that #2 son's flight gets here. He is having to try to get a different flight, the one they had booked had them changing planes in Atlanta and has been canceled. Susie, stay safe. Gather up important papers, meds and any priceless family momentos and put them in your car so you're ready to get out if you have to.

chapchap73 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We are supposed to get snow here today, but I have yet to see a single flake. It's probably waiting for me to go to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Well at 0730 there are bits and patches of snow amongst the grass blades; the car has a dusting that looks more like powdered sugar. I expect it to be gone once the sun has had a chance to shine on it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Brrrr. The rainy cold front is passing through south Florida now. Yesterday, 88 degrees, currently 63 and dropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, 88 degrees, currently 63 and dropping. Okay .. about 11" of snow and 14 hours without power and the house temp dropping to 61 F ... the power is back on, the sun is shining, the thermocouple on the gas fireplace log gave me a little heat and light through the night, batteries for the flashlights and food to eat got me through -- although folks may get lighter-than-planned cookie bags. I spent all day yesterday baking. What's a girl to do but eat in the dark? Made a nest on the couch in front of the fire. Power came back on around 9:30 this morning. A cup of hot coffee was more than welcome! Famous last words, my sister to me: "Nah, you don't need a snow shovel. Any snow we get is gone in an hour."

blueirishmoon Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Beautiful for me this morning. This winter lover looked out and saw snow sticking on the ground, with more slowly but steadily falling. Lovely sight! The trees have their coats of frosting...

havanaholly Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Our snow is a distant (thank goodness!!!) memory and the cold front has passed through, lovely out in the sunshine; still a bit chilly in the shade. Hopefully I can shed the longjohns tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The snow was all gone by the time I went outside (doing a very happy dance). It has wreaked havoc, however, with our #2 son's visit; he & his wife are patiently waiting at Hartfield on standby for a 1800 flight, or for the 2245 to Pensacola. The poor DIL is a runner, so is a very early riser; she will be wrung out by the time they get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I can't BELIEVE Texas and Georgia and South Carolina got that much snow and we're sitting here in the NW with the freaking sun shining! WHERE'S OUR SNOW? But it does make you wonder....fire in California and then snow in the southern states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We call that the Pepe le Pew bounce... lol We have a part Husky part German Shepherd that I bet would love the snow. Unfortunately for him he lives in the tropics so in the summer he lays in front of the air conditioning unit for most of the day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Minnesota, and have had enough winters to last the rest of my life. It's been in the high 60's, low 70's here all last week, but the temperature dropped some today (low 60's). That's plenty cold enough for me. All those beautiful places with winter--I'll visit in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
