The previous snow storm that buried the eastern half of the US a week or so ago pretty much missed us in Wichita KS US, with only a couple of inches here. Winds during that snowfall were high (~40 mph while it was coming down) so our accumulation then was "6 inches wide" on the sides of obstructions. Roads aligned with the wind direction didn't even need plowing, although crosswise ones had "nothing to feet" of drifts.

After about a week of "there's another one coming but it probably will miss us" we've had an overnight 5 or 6 inches (visual estimate in my neighborhood) and the predictions have suddenly changed to "6 to 12 inches" locally and up to "feet" nearby toward the east and southeast.

Temps during the past week have been a little lower than normal, but "zoomed up to 40F" (4.4C) yesterday afternoon. This afternoon the high temp was about 0F (-18C) but the wind is again (intermittently) strong, and reported current wind chill at -20F (-29C).

I can see through the small hole where the snow isn't plastered on the front window that the trash/recycling pickup has been on schedule (and that the driver didn't get down to shut the lid on one of the carts like he usually does); but I'll have to go out the back and walk around to shovel the two foot drift blocking the front door before we'll be able to get out normally. Weather maps on TV now show two additional bands of (what we call here) "heavy snow" approaching, so I think I'll wait until they pass before reassessing the situation. If the wind changes direction it may all blow away, and we don't have anyplace we need to go for the next few days.

There are many similarities between JiKs weather in Wichita, where I used to live, and the DC suburbs where I am now. We don't usually get major snows. We had one very wet, cold day on Sat., but some chilly but sunny days since...and a week or two more of decent clear days predicted! It won't be 'warm', but no nastiness in sight.

I sure hope it eases for everyone else... whether they need heat or cool.

The biggest difference between my part of Kansas and most of the east coast is that in six years spent in Boston I only heard thunder ONCE.

(It definitely frightened the local neighbors, many of whom didn't know what it was. The "media" had to explain - extensively.)

In Juneau, Alaska we just got out of a winter storm warning situation that brought us about a foot of snow but the temperature is just at freezing so it probably won't last long. Very pretty though.

We've had a mild winter, except for when it wasn't. A couple of times it was brutal- high winds, low temperatures and slicing snow. This time it started out that way but the winds died and it became lovely.

I was in Salisbury over the weekend and it was quite dry with glimpses of sun but chilly. Back here in Bristol the temperatures are starting to climb to double figures but dull damp grey. It has been a weird Winter rather than interesting, plummeting to cold temperatures and then 13-15 degrees in the early hours and then plummeting again. My Isle of Wight friend has reported the same kind of temperature changes on the Island, one minute shivering and the next breaking out in a sweat.

had snow for a few days..got 10-12 inches..
power is out and phones are intermittant at best.
i have been away from home for several
days...I had several gigs...
babgysitting 2 year old grandson
playing at 2 birthday parties and
helping to shear sheep...
i am not looking forward to
being back home with no electric,and no pnone.
with no power, the pump is also out, so no water either.
with no wood stove, there will be no heat
i heat with propane, but the heater requires
electricity ... so life will be miserable
without power...

back when i used to live in a cabin with a wood stove,
gravity flow water, and wood burning water heater,
power outages did not bother me...the only fear
was spoiled food when the fridge and freezer were
without power...but i could still cook, bathe, and keep warm without
needing electricity....

not so any more in my motor home....

the highway was closed due to multiple jack-knifed big rigs

and the dirt road into my place may not be cleared yet,
although the high way and the county road have rbeen plowed,
so i hear. since the fire 3 years ago there are still standing
dead trees, and many were toppled by the weight of the snow.

this was the cause of some of the downed power and phone lines.
i will try to return home tomorrow when the temps get above
freezing...i do not want to try to drive the steep mountain
roads when it is below freezing.

..will send update when I make my way back home...
i am about 20 miles away now at my daughter and son-in-law's house.

In Juneau Alaska we're back in the bitter stuff. High winds- 84 mph has been the highest clocked so far, I think - but it has been mighty gusty the last two or three days. Temperature around 10F today- with the wind chill you might say it is cool. This drafty old building is chilling now- it took awhile to permeate the walls, I guess.   This is forecast to last until Tuesday morning - earlier they had said *Monday* morning, so who knows.

Whereas here in north central North Carolina, spring has sprung - early and dry. Some fairly wild temperature fluctuations, but all mild compared to many other places. High tomorrow 80F, high Tuesday is predicted to be 55F. That sort of thing has been the pattern for the past few weeks. Has been a weird winter. Colder average temps and more frozen precipitation, but much lower precipitation over-all, and no periods of what for us is extreme cold. And now a much warmer and drier February than is typical, in spite of significant fluctuation in temps.

Snow and ice around, but the river's breaking up. Saw about 1200 snow geese returning, and they pretty much indicate that spring is soon to arrive. If geese are too high up to see markings, you can tell the difference anyway because Canadian geese fly in V formations, and you can see a point to the V. Snow geese look like a boomerang or the top half of a letter O cut in two.

The storm that has been causing havoc throughout the south made for a tense morning and afternoon - the weather radio was blaring alert after alert as the squall line moved through - and a boring 10 minutes huddled in the hallway during a warning for a tornado that missed me by a good 6 miles. Eastern North Carolina is getting battered right now. Reports are still preliminary but sounds like there will be some significant damage here and there from Raleigh east.

It was really quite something. The fastest moving and most intense squall line I've experienced since moving to NC 26 years ago. I'm fine.   Got 1 3/4 inches of rain in one 15 minute period, and then the whole thing had moved on.
