Keeping fingers crossed. We NEED snow!

Got a good dusting today and now rain. Temps are supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow, normal Thursday and Friday then back to freezing with wicked wind chills this weekend. Lovely.

Our high winds are headed your way Moo. Enjoy.

... you may want to put some lead weights in your shoes Moo

Today was very nice.... Except the wind was F'ing brutal. We had stacks of shipping containers topple from the high winds, at work.

Lots of wires down, and tree damage. Thank goodness, they still don't have leaves yet.

Looks like some snow is moving in for tomorrow.

Well, got the wind to go with nice cold temps (barely got to 2 at one point yesterday)...freaking wind chill has been ridiculous, -20 to -30. Glad I got my oil tank filled Friday. Been totally nuts! Paint...look away...

Nor'easter coming my way sometime Tuesday lasting all day Wednesday, leaving sometime Wednesday or Thursday. Snow expected...12 to 20 inches. We're under a winter storm watch and I'm pretty sure that'll change to a warning sometime tomorrow. I'm guessing no work Wednesday. *sighs*

March and April are usually our snowiest months, so we could still get buried, but Wunderground says its not supposed to get below freezing here for as far as their forecast goes at the moment. Its been overcast and trying to decide between rain and snow all day, though.

We'll just have to wait and see...

Woke up this morning...winter storm warning...
