1. Two degrees in southern Wisconsin with snow on the ground

And a wintry blast is on the way...

[Chautauquas]

5. Also in southern Wisconsin

Put some bird food on the deck this morning and had 7 blue jays show up for peanuts. I'm glad I don't have to deal with snow removal today because it is most definitely cold out there.

[a kennedy]

13. Southeastern MN, right across from La Crosse, WI......we too are waiting for a horrible winter

storm. 4 - 7 inches of snow, and up to 45 MPH winds. 🥶 🥶 🥶

[milestogo]

18. Is that Winona?

I had a beer there once

[a kennedy]

34. No, I'm about 20 miles south of Winona. I hang out in La Crosse mostly tho.

Like Winona, but La Crosse is so much closer.

[milestogo]

38. Do you see a lot of deer?

I used to have a client business up there and one person said he hit 26 deer in 5 years. He lived in MN and drove to LaCrosse every day.

[a kennedy]

41. I see lotsa tracks, but only a few actual deer........so happy to not have seen ANY near my car.

[Jirel]

2. Texas will be hurting tomorrow.

I never thought I’d be nervous about a mere 12 degrees, but I have zero trust in Abbott or ERCOT.

[milestogo]

4. Do some people have unheated homes?

[moonshinegnomie]

28. no but we're worried about the power going out like 2021

[tavernier]

3. 75 with a slight breeze.

But we’ll get hit this weekend. Supposed to go down into the 50’s.
And don’t think I don’t see you flipping me off.

[malaise]

7. LOL

We're the lucky ones - 83 now will be in the 70s tonight

[Prairie_Seagull]

31. We have had snow on the ground since mid November.

I'll wait until after Christmas to be sick of it. So. Cal is sounding very nice right now. Florida sounds fantastic. Wait I am supposed to say that it's to bad you won't have snow for the holiday. I said I would wait to complain until after Christmas but fuck it. I am sick of this shit. What I am thinking about is Huntington Beach.

You are not wrong malaise.

[bdamomma]

37. that sounds lovely

we are at 63, which is kinda cool for us. Rain coming.

[patricia92243]

17. Florida is the same, but I am freezing to death at 53 degrees. It is supposed to

be even colder later this week. Brrr

[Kaleva]

6. 5 degrees in Upper Michigan

[doc03]

8. Beautiful picture. It is so quiet and peaceful after a nice snowfall.

[Ocelot II]

9. Colder than a well-digger's arse, winter storm warning in effect.

Minneapolis. It's only going to get worse. But it sure is pretty.

The bird sanctuary in a nearby park:





My neighborhood a couple of evenings ago:

[ellie]

10. Right now it's sunny and mild

After 2 pm today we get high wind, snow and cold and the high tomorrow will be -2.

[DFW]

11. Between 35F and 42F this morning in the Rheinland

I flew out on the 6:40 plane to München (Munich), no de-icing was even necessary. But when we landed in Bavaria, the ground was covered with snow, and a nasty wind was blowing. MUCH colder down there.

I WAS happy that I had decided to take the train back. It even left on time. BUT--this is the German train system (thou shallt not repair thy trains, or even maintain them properly). So now the train has stopped at Montabaur, between Frankfurt and Köln, to "test" the train and see if it can be trusted to travel any further. If not, they will probably tell us to leave the train, stand outside in the cold and damp, and wait 45 minutes while they send another train from wherever it is they might have one that can roll 200 km without falling apart.

[Prairie_Seagull]

25. It is a fantastic DU service you provide to us all, thanks for your "updates from Europe"

Keeps me/us aware of "the rest of the story". Well parts of it anyway.

Hope you are setting up to have a great holiday.

[DFW]

33. I'm just a cameo appearance here

As it turned out, they stopped the train for nothing. It took them nearly half and hour to determine that there was nothing wrong after all.

I’m on the commuter train to my small town, where I should be home by 17:45 our time. Maybe 90 minutes of follow-up paper work, a couple of calls and emails to Dallas and Paris, and I’m taking my nephew, who just arrived from Kyiv, out for a Greek dinner. He got in this morning, but our neighbor, who works near the airport, picked him up and brought him to our house before returning to work. We’re getting there!

[Prairie_Seagull]

35. Can't wait to hear about your dinner with your nephew.

Last edited Wed Dec 21, 2022, 01:17 PM - Edit history (1)

It does sound like and very interesting dinner. Tell him happy holidays from me/us.

[Prairie_Seagull]

36. Most of us are inundated and feezing our asses of here in the States,

While alpine skying is having to be re-scheduled in Europe. How is Garmish parkenkergen. I probably spelled that wrong. It's bucket list material for my wife and I to spend a winter in Europe and watch Alpine Skying especially the downhills at Wengen and of course the Hannenkahm.

[DFW]

39. I don't ski at all

I was always nervous about breaking something, mostly my neck. My younger daughter is the fearless one. She already did break something, came back one time from Austria with more metal in her leg than organic material. Or, at least, her X-ray looked that way. Did that make her more reluctant to ski? HAH! She couldn't wait to drive back down to Austria and go zapping down the slopes again. But, don't forget, this was the one who, while in law school, instead of clerking for some judge during summer break, instead joined the UN War Crimes Commission in Sierra Leone and got some horrible infection that almost killed her, and then couldn't wait to get back to Africa.

I think you mean Garmisch-Partenkirchen. German names can be a mouthful for furriners. One time, when my daughter was in law school, members of her class were reading aloud, and then discussing, passages from some case involving Volkswagen. In her passage that she was to read aloud, there was the full name of the company: Volkswagenaktiensgesellschaft. The class, including the professor, was gleefully waiting for her to stumble over that, but she just read right through it without stopping. They all said WHOA!! How did you do THAT? She just stared at them and reminded them: "I'M GERMAN!"

Wengen and the whole Berner Oberland is one of the most beautiful places in Europe. You'll love it there. I've never been in the winter, but before my wife had her first round of cancer, we used to go there in June for brief getaways. We stayed in Mürren, a village up the side of a cliff without cars. Hotel Alpenruh. Very primitive, but comfy with great breakfasts and hiking. When the clouds clear, the view is breathtaking. The café at the tiny train station at Lauterbrunnen is a joy, too. Just stare at the cliffs and the waterfalls.

My wife doesn't dare return, unfortunately. She had three or four girlfriends about her age (49-50 at the time) who all had breast cancer around the same time she did. All four of them, within a year of (successful!) treatment, went high into the mountains for a vacation. All four of them had a massive return of their breast cancer within a few weeks/months of going into the mountains, and all four died of it. You won't get my wife back up there no way no how. There is supposedly a medical explanation for that, but it is not considered absolute, and so this is not a traditional admonishment to breast cancer survivors. Still, four out of four is not a statistic she is willing to bet against.

[nebby70]

12. spring is only 89 days away....

...not that I'm counting or anything....
... snow, sleet, wind and COLD and we're not even in the worst part of this storm....
...........already missing the sounds of lawn mowers.....

...gonna amuse myself by day dreaming thru seed catalogs ....

[we can do it]

14. Sunny and dry, Rehoboth Beach.

[MissMillie]

15. We got some snow last weekend, not a lot, but it's still on the ground

More expected this weekend.

Local weather reports say temperatures are "seasonal," but I just think it's COLD. It's supposed to get colder, I guess.

[Greybnk48]

16. -2 just South of Green Bay this a.m., snow on the ground,

Last edited Wed Dec 21, 2022, 07:54 PM - Edit history (1)

waiting for a two-part storm to hit, followed by a blizzard. Below zero temps go with it!

Some of our company/family are coming tonight instead of Friday or Saturday, just to be safe.

[milestogo]

21. Some people in my area are leaving now to go north and avoid the storm.

Its leave now, or stay home. Nobody wants to drive in a blizzard.

[usonian]

19. Nice day in the Sierra Foothills.

High 53°F
There is snow nearby.


Snapped Tuesday, December 20
Webcam courtesy of Yosemite Conservancy
https://yosemite.org
The foothills get up to 6 inches of snow about twice a year.
Enough to take pictures and show to the valley dwellers.

[Corgigal]

32. So want to be there one day.

I guess I’m one of the only DUer that love seasons. I want snow and cold weather near the holidays. I moved away from Tampa Florida because that type of heat hurts my body.

I have a fireplace and a new book coming for Christmas. A cat on my lap, and I’m waiting for it to happen.

However, don’t need to travel, or go to work. That makes a difference.

[marmar]

20. Mid 30s, no snow in the Detroit metro area .....

.... the storm marches through as rain on Thursday, turning to snow on Friday, though it looks like we're going to dodge the heavy snowfall totals (Weather Channel is saying 1 to 3 inches)

[Prairie_Seagull]

22. 8 degrees right now in Spokane WA.

Finally stopped snowing. Well over a foot on the ground. Latest snow dump about 7 inches. Nothing new for Spokane so snow removal is good but the kids being out of school, and the xmas approaching make it a bit slower. Yesterday was a nightmare.

Temps heading down over coming days. Possibly to record setting lows.

Long johns and sweats, check.

[Spazito]

23. -29 F and -49 F with wind chill factor

in Alberta.

[milestogo]

24. Wow, I would never leave the house.

I just walked my dog in 2 degree weather for 5 minutes, and that was pretty intense.

[Spazito]

26. It is damn cold, that's for sure...

I had to go out yesterday for an appointment but it was only -20 F, -29 with the wind chill factor, cold but not like today where I am hunkered down and have no intention to go anywhere for a few days for sure.

[Trailrider1951]

27. Currently 28*F with a light dusting of snow near Orting, WA

We're supposed to get into the upper teens tonight with twenties tomorrow, then a return to 40* to 50* and rain for the rest of the week. You folks who have lots of snow and much colder temperatures have my sincere sympathies! I wish you plenty of heat for your homes, great food with friends and family, and a very merry Solstice!

[ananda]

29. Cloudy -- 43 degrees now, down to 16 tomorrow

I'm staying home tomorrow.

[moonshinegnomie]

30. currently 42 just outside of austin

supposed to hit 50 tomorrow morning than plummet to 15 tomorrow night with windchills near zero.

brrr and fuck

[ironflange]

40. Ten days ago I was in Panama

Now that I'm back home, I'm enjoying a wind chill of -44. Sheesh.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

42. Frigid 50 degrees in FL, good news, I found a pair of socks! lol

[48656c6c6f20]

43. As usual a balmy 28f in Chicago.

I need to move back east so I can have a real winter for a change.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

44. We were enjoying a bit of brisk air here in Los Angeles, one could not call it "wintery" weather,

but perhaps "winter-ish?" Winter-adjacent?

Now all that cool air seems like it is being sucked out, and we are getting back to "same old, same old."

Today will be 72, and Christmas will be 80. How is that fair?

Those blessed to live in winter wonderlands, I hope you enjoy the snow and seasonally appropriate weather.

[Emile]

45. Winter storm arrives tomorrow here.

[Ohio Joe]

46. Outside Boulder Colorado it's 51 right now in the sun...

But the wind is howling and it's expected to drop quickly over the next few hours.

[Chainfire]

47. It is 49 now (at sunset) which is about how it should be.

But we have several days of teens and 20s lows coming for Christmas. For North Florida that is COLD. Snow is not likely, I have only seen snow on the ground perhaps a half dozen times in my 70 years; it is an event to remember. The plumbers will be working overtime for weeks or months fixing broken water pipes when this spell is over. The last time I recall it being that cold was in the mid 80s. I plan to draw in the porches and watch it from inside.

[FreeState]

48. Going to be 80 on Christmas here

Excited to go for a run with very little on
