Based on you guys from the northern states, the 17 degrees this morning here must seem outright balmy.

We suffered through a high of 66° F with sunny skies today. Tomorrow the forecast is for sunny skies with a high of 71° F.
No snow in the forecast.
Its been 80's the past two days. I had to use my car A/C today...summer is coming too fast.

Looking like a decent chance for freezing rain or sleet here in the ATL during the morning commute tomorrow...good thing I'll be working from home.![]()

It's slowly starting to warm up. The high next Tuesday is supposed to approach 50 degrees.
I think this is going to be the near-term winter weather pattern with climate change occurring. Periods of cold and snow followed by an above-average warm-up, with cold and snow to follow, repeat, repeat....very heavy snow falls will be mixed in, but will not be the norm.
Unfortunately, this would have devastating effects on the Great Lakes.

It was twice as warm this morning than it was yesterday, but yesterday was single digit. Our forecast shows 54 on Wednesday.
Temperatures here were well below zero when I got up this morning. This is Day 3 of the Deep Freeze.
Hubby keeps lecturing me about the fact that I don't use my car (!) for days on end. "It's not good for it to sit unused in zero-degree weather."
Woo get to go home early due to "bad" weather. Wet roads and freezing temperatures I guess are enough to shut everything down here. Can't really complain though.
Freezing rain to the south and snow to the north. The Louisville donut hole proves accurate again. (And that's okay for the FR, but not for the snow!)![]()

We were dismissed at noon. It took 2 hours to get home, and there's only an inch or two of snow.
It's abnormally warm here: 68 today, with highs in the 70s over the next two days.
The sentinel bee that hangs out in our driveway in the spring showed up today, WAY early.

We keep going up and down with the fronts. Today has been nice at 50 - From my past in the desert I never thought I would utter that phrase.
This weekend should be good to, up to 60, but they predict rain that never seems to happen.
You haven't ignored the last of me!
1/2 an inch of rain foretasted for tonight.Pick up soccer might be canceled tomorrow.

It started to snow here between 4:30 and 5:00. Since it's been so cold it's basically powder just blowing around, nothing particularly sticky. The roads were more or less ok if you were on a main drag but less so on the side streets, the real problem will happen overnight when what was melted by traffic starts to freeze up. I am glad it happened on a weekend and that I no longer have an hour+ commute home.

33 and raining here in Wilmington. If it drops just a tick we're in store for a bad night.
While driving today I saw the roads pre-treated here for the first time. I didn't even think we had the equipment here to handle that.

The beatings will continue until morale improves!
They pretreated the roads here. I wonder if the driving conditions would have been better had they left the roads dry so the snow could blow around.
My daughter said that they pretreated roads in her NC town. I hope she gets home from work OK. She has NO winter driving experience.
Storm threatened us this am but nothing .

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
