4x4 is a must. I do snow removal so I love the snow. Get paid to go play around with a bunch of cool toys.
30 inches of snow and now going to be -50 windchills

I chase tornadoes for work so i am pretty much finished working until spring or the tornadoes decide to appear again which this year looks to be earlier than normal.
I grew up in Sheboygan WI, No such thing as a cold day off. Yup, back then we were tough little nippers. I remember them sending us kids out for recesses no matter what.

Oh I do enjoy it. I live in a very small town right by diamond where the tornado was. I live Right by I'm off the main corners of my town and get to see people blowing the stop sign and almost ending in the ditch constantly.
No, no 4x4. In fact down to a Chrysler imperial now because my van broke. So yeah I'm not going anywhere
I went thru diamond while chasing that system in november… hope you made out ok during it but it sure was an awesome storm system…have to feel sorry for the affected people though even though it was an awesome way to end 2013 tornado season

I watched it from my from door. It actually formed in my town of braceville. It got me to buy a weather radio just in case. unfortunately it doesn't seem to work right. I never get alerts. Even for the winter storm warning.
My friends son was in the subdivision that got hit and when they came out of the house the first thing he seen was the wall off a little kids room. That had him quite shook up
Keep warm and be safe. We're looking at the same expected temperatures tonight and tomorrow but only got about a foot of snow. Work called and cancelled for tomorrow, so time to recoil and rewick a bunch of devices.
that tornado should have been rated an ef5 but it never will be since it was mostly residential area and the nws doesn't consider residences substantial structures….all to save the government from paying federal disaster funds..just like the el reno tornado where 3 of my friends who were awesome storm chasers were killed….plenty of electronic evidence that it was the strongest ef5 ever recorded but because it was only residential areas damaged it was downgraded to an ef3
The cold finally broke here in western NY this weekend. Long enough for me to change the battery in my Jeep. The high Tuesday is supposed to be below zero. That's too cold! Supposed to get more snow too.

Foot of snow, county is closed. Sitting here watching the lights flicker. Our neighborhood has buried electric but being out in the sticks the lines coming to our area are in the trees. Kero heaters and candles are ready to light.
I spent the winter of '77-'78 at Great Lakes Naval and had to stand watches in weather like that. (Although we spent most of the time just inside the NCO club.) That's one of the reasons I moved to Texas when I got out.
Hang in there. From what I remember it starts to warm up, June maybe?
I'm going to guess 24-26in on my table. Can't get out the back door to measure.
I gave the gf my awd equinox and have been tracking around in this with my little cruze. Been perfectly fine besides my driveway. Part of the Association payment is to take care of the snow and I refuse to shovel bc of that. They suck at keeping it clean.
Btw one of the items on my "bucket list" is to go on a tornado chase.

Sending good thoughts your way for warmth and comfort.
I've been watching the weather channel news and vids since I dropped a relative off at the train station from So Cal to Oklahoma. It was 75 here when he left wearing a thin tee shirt with no coat, even though I tried to give him one. He had a blanket in his backpack and enough money to buy a coat, so I'm not overly worried.
Take care, vapers ... unbelievable out there!
