NORTH GEORGIA ROLLER COASTER WEATHER

Enjoying my snow day here in Alexandria, VA. It's been pretty chilly, supposedly Thursday will be pushing 0°F again.

We ended up with about 11 inches of snow yesterday, best I can determine. I live on a hill with a 1/4 mile driveway to negotiate. I managed to get out and back up the hill today but my F 150 4x4 was bellying out all the way down the hill. By staying in my tracks I was able to make it back up without getting stalled out but it was touch and go for a minute or two. Right now it's sunny and not bad at about 21 degrees with no wind, but we're predicted to get more snow tomorrow and then hit a low of -15 on Thursday. Sure makes me glad I live in the south where the winters are "mild".

I guess everyone is getting hit this year Phil.I was supposed to be in Louisville for the car show this weekend but I don't see that happening.We haven't got much snow but it has been bitter cold.The whole week it has been hovering at zero or below and there doesn't seem to be any end in sight.
My son is still dealing with about 8 feet of snow at his home in Massachusetts and they are getting more this week.

I live on a hill too, and it's up hill either way I turn out of my drive, so we haven't been out yet except to feed and play in the snow a bit. Our road (state road) just got scraped and salted a min ago.


Here's some pics, notice how pitiful our spoiled chickens are!

About the same here Phil,except my driveway is only a c150 ft. or so. But the rural road is clear,if I can get out of my driveway.Bad timing for my furnace to go out though. Have to order a new heat exchanger.

Oh man Lyle! You gave any other kind of heat? Wood stove?

Hey Wade.. Them hounds are going to have to put their snow-shoes on!!! I feel for ya.. We keep getting 2-3in shots here.. Snowing now and calling for 2-4in by nite... John

Yeah but look on the bright side John it is going to be 3* for a high tomorrow

John we got another 2 inches this morning, winds 35 miles an hour on and off. It's nasty out there. Thankfully a guy from church brought his 4x4 tractor over and scraped our drive, ought to be able to get out now.

The hounds won't even get out of their houses. All holed up just like the rabbits!

Gino.. I hear ya!! Shorts and flip-flops!!

Wade.. Good to hear you got some help!! And I don't blame the hounds at all!!! John

My phone is saying -13* actual temp tomorrow night

That's probably swimming weather to Ken

It's 21 with wind gusts here. And dropping too. Supposed to take away all our degrees plus some by Friday.

The thermometer will look just like my bank account after a gun and knife show, negative.

I hate this snow! Sucks to have to deal with it and put up with a driveway that's up hill!

I wish I could help. We could use 10 to 15 feet of snow up in the mountains.
There wasn't much of a ski season in Oregon this year as it has been so warm and dry.
60 degrees here today and overcast.

I am concerned about low the snow pack in the mountains. We may have a dry summer.

Low tomorrow morn. -5
High 23

Here in sunny north Ga.

Yep, Brian we gotta low here tonight around -2 and a high tomorrow of 17! Omg!

Perry did you get any ice or was it snow? My wife's mom in Smithville had ice.

Yeah, we had both.

Ooh, hate that ice. It's much worse than snow.

-3º here right now and predicted to hit -11º sometime tonight.

Well Jerry I did jinx Jim and I a few weeks ago saying its been warm and hardly any snow because its snowed every single day and has barely been above 10*-* since

Gino, maybe that will teach you. Or not.
