How's your weather forecast?

[VGNonly]

For me temps dropping to single digits to about- 10 tomorrow through Sunday, chill factors up to -30. Some light snow, then 6-9" Sunday with heavy drifting.

I went to the store today, lots of crowds. I'm well stored and not planning to go anywhere until next week. If you do drive have plenty of gas.

Take care and stay safe!

1. Sunny and 50, same tomorrow.

[surfered]

2. It's 67, sunny, and my hibiscus is blooming, but it's going to be 28 degrees Monday morning

[NewHendoLib]

3. we have something big coming for us in western NC - forecasts are too iffy to know how bad it will get

a few have up to an inch of freezing rain - which would be crippling.

[Nittersing]

5. Yeah, these ice predictions are scary

I'm just gonna be cold in Denver.

Fingers crossed for better than predicted outcomes!!

[Xavier Breath]

4. In short: Snowpocalypse.

Accumulation TBD.

Edit: 8-12 inches by Sunday evening, high winds at times, lows between 9 degrees and -4 degrees the next six days.

I need to get to Kroger early tomorrow before the shelves are emptied.

[Kennah]

6. Shitstorm likely with a chance of nuclear war (nt)

[Haggard Celine]

7. Right now it's 65 and cloudy.

We're supposed to get a ton of rain in the next few days and then it's supposed to dip down into the upper 20s next week. I just hope we don't get ice. That makes for some treacherous conditions.

[surrealAmerican]

8. similar, just a little bit colder

high tomorrow of about 3 above zero, lows down to -10.
The supermarket was busy here too.

Getting out with the dog will be quite the adventure.

[Greybnk48]

9. Schools already cancelled for tomorrow. -35 to -40 windchills forecast here in Appleton, WI (just South of Green Bay).

The grandkids are happy about no school tomorrow.

Our weatherman just said we have 60 hours below zero. That's brutal. I'm always a bit scared that the furnace will go out (it's happened before) or we lose power. But even if we do, the power company and the heating companies here are amazingly competent.

We're putting out a ton of bird seed and peanuts for the birds, apples and carrots for the bunnies too.

[Greybnk48]

36. Update: At 8:00 a.m. we will be at or around 48 below zero wind chill. Yikes! n/t

[CTyankee]

10. Not good here in CT. But we are safe in our retirement community. The people who provide our services will be impacted,

tho, so we might have some delays in the food service and other services provided to us here.

[Beringia]

11. I am about to change into an Icycle

[highplainsdem]

12. Cold. But the lowest wind chill they're predicting is -35, and since I can recall a winter when that was

an actual temp and the wind chill was close to -70, I'm not panicking.

I feel very sorry for anyone who has to be out in dangerous temps, though. Hope they can stay safe. Ditto those who will be getting a lot of ice. The two worst accidental injuries I've had, both resulting in pain for years, were from ice (one a car accident, the other a fall on black ice), and two of my siblings were seriously injured in car accidents caused by ice.

[VGNonly]

19. The coldest I was ever in -30

in Northern MI but with absolutely no wind. It was tolerable.

[Greg_In_SF]

13. Wonderful!

[doc03]

14. Some predictions for the Pittsburgh area and

eastern Ohio area are calling for 12-18". Beats
freezing rain.

[Xavier Breath]

15. And a dry, powdery snow they're saying.

So yeah, could be worse.

[trueblueinmo]

16. cold

kcmo 5-12 inches wind chills to -25

[canetoad]

17. You'd hate me

If I told you, but very acceptable for SE Oz in summer.

[VGNonly]

21. I looked at your profile.

I actually know where the Bass Strait is. I'm a geography nerd. I always wanted to go to Tasmania.

[canetoad]

22. I can see Tasmania from my ...

No, not really but it's a great place. You may be the first DUer to be familiar with Bass Strait. Congrats!

[VGNonly]

23. I believe Sir Douglas Mawson

the renowned Australian Antarctic explorer and geologist spent some time in Hobart Tasmania.

[EarthFirst]

18. Gnarly

WNY is looking at single digit lows and windchills as low as -20 in the short term (Fri/Sat) with the onset of the impending snowstorm; I’ve seen forecasts from as much as 18”-20” of blowing; drifting snow.

Gonna be a wild one!

Be safe if y’all are in the path of this one…

[Emile]

20. 6 to 8 inches predicted, and bitter cold temps.

I hope I have enough firewood brought up nearer to the house.

[H2O Man]

24. Brutal.

Recommended.

[ananda]

25. My sister and I are hunkering down in our homes.

She's in Dallas, I'm in Austin.

We both hatehatehate cold weather.

[Iggo]

26. 66 high, 51 low. Clear and dry.

SoCal rules.

[waterwatcher123]

27. It is -26 degrees (that is negative 26) at 8:30 p.m. CST on the western tip of Lake Superior (Duluth, MN).

We may set a record for cold tomorrow (probably -30 some degrees and -55 or -60 wind chills).

❄️ 🥁Our first snowfall map is out!!!

Here we go...subject to change:
• Beltway: 5–10"
• SE areas.: 4–8"
• Far NW areas: 8–14"

Change to sleet will cut down snow totals Beltway + SE but result in hard-to-shovel mess.

29. Currently 9 degrees in our far northwest suburb of greater Chicago, feeling like...

…-9 with the 16 mph wind, and gusts up to 32 mph.

By 7 AM tomorrow, it will be -13. The high of 0 will be at midnight, and on Saturday it will get up to all of 4.

[Swede]

30. -37 C tonight, with windchill of -50 C,

On the drive home, my engine temp cold indicator on my car never turned off. Brrr

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. It's going to a high of 7 tomorrow

[SheltieLover]

32. Crappy. 3-9" snow, sleet & freezing rain

Well below freezing for 10 days+.

Translation: broken water mains, frozen pipes, power outages, & exploding tree limbs from ice storm.

[peggysue2]

33. Not too bad in Wilmington, DE right now: 43 degrees. But . . .

Over the weekend we're suppose to slip into the teens and single digits with snow forecasts all over the place. I've managed to handle the past snow this season, anywhere from an inch to maybe 4 inches. But I can't shovel a foot+ of snow without crippling myself. My husband is very unbalanced with weak knees and ankles, so I signed on with a local guy willing to come with his snowblower and plow to clear the front of the house. I managed to get the last bit of salt available for my back steps so I can get the dogs out. My little guy, Benny, no longer does steps on his own, so I need to carry him up and down. Salt is essential to both our lives!!

Maybe it won't be as bad as they're predicting. These dire Snow-apocalypse warnings often turn into duds. But just in case, we're good on food and basic staples.

Stay safe everyone1

35. Probably ice storm with snow.

Getting flashbacks to the one in the nineties where we didn’t have electricity for two weeks.

[BlueSpot]

37. The forecast keeps changing so I have no idea - but I expect trouble

I've seen snow forecasts from 3" to 14". It changes more often than daily. I went to the grocery store today for an item that I really didn't need but which was on sale. It was absolutely packed at about 1 pm. I bet it was worse when people got off work.

Not looking forward to all the shoveling that lies ahead. That 3" forecast is old. Nothing close to that little has been posted in a couple of days. And then, once I get the driveway clear, the plow will come and clog it back up again. Oh well. I guess it'll build character or something.

But I've got food on hand and I am warm. And the forecast is for snow rather than ice. I'll be content with that. Could be worse. I remember many years ago when we got a good 4" or so of ice. They chopped it into blocks and fork trucks stacked them on the corners. That was one for the books {shudder}.
