"Winter storm Leon"? Is that what the Weather Channel is calling it in their desperate attempt to draw attention? tongue

Anyway, going to work was all sorts of fun last night, between the slushy streets and sudden IQ drop that follows any major inclement weather pattern. Coming back home this morning even more so when the half-melted snow froze up. At some points it was like driving on an ice rink, and I by the time I had pulled into my driveway at home I had passed almost 2 dozen cars and trucks that had slid off the road.

And yet for all that I still miss regular snow from when I lived in northern Illinois. tongue

It's the same story here in ATL. Roads are messed up to the point that my mother's normally-five-minute commute took an hour (not joking) because of the traffic caused by the snow and ice. Inside Atlanta proper was even worse to the point that Gov. Deal and Mayor Reed ordered the evacuation of Atlanta, which (like any typical government cock-up) backfired miserably.

Fortunately it wasn't anywhere near that bad here in the Greenville, SC area, but then the ATL metro area has a greater population than the entire state of SC, too. tongue

Well here in the Blue Ridge "Mountains" snow is a fact of life in the winter,or fact enough that it's nothing to panic over.

It's cold sure,but no more than usual

Was a half inch of snow,seems to have melted away.

Currently snowing, inch thick sheet of ice on all the roads. In NC so no salt trucks or snowploughs.

And I just ordered a pizza.

Oh really when?

[up] and [up][up] Garner reporting in, it's cold, but not absolute horror. Got about five inches of the white stuff, which is odd given that it was 65 degrees just two days ago.

@Noh Body: Apparently they recently started naming winter storms because people weren't taking them seriously enough.

Finally back to normal for a GA winter (that is, 40s and 50s). Lawn's green brown instead of white, which is a good sign.

It seems to be a pattern of wet, dry, wet, dry every other day.

So, some records are getting broken because of how cold it is here; in Seattle it is 23 degrees, where I am it is 19, 9 with wind chill (we get nasty winds courtesy of Canada).

Yes, I know that isn't all that bad compared to some of you. But we're not used to it. Record-breaking cold is record-breaking cold and it sucks, no matter where you live.

If you lived in Hawaii, record breaking cold would be like 50 degrees.

Also, it rained again, and I'm very happy.

More rain! Just what Wales and Ireland need! And, Somerset, for that matter. tongue <crosses fingers> Stay away from the North East... away from the North East: the Coast Road still hasn't had all the drainage done to it it needs and we've just had horizontal rain this week. <_<

...The road's going to blow again, isn't it? -_-

Schizophrenic as ever. Gov. Deal issued a state of emergency today pending Winter Storm Pax despite the fact that there has not yet (to my knowledge) been any precipitation.

Guess he doesn't want to catch hell for screwing up the response to winter weather. Again.
