The Great Christmas Freeze/Blizzard/Squall/Ice Storm 2022

[Whizzinby]

Looks like most of us are going to get hit in some form or another with this front.

Stay warm, stay safe.

 

[la szum]

Yup. Going to the store right now for the last time in the next few days.

Obligations mean that I'm supposed to be driving all the way up the St Lawrence through Québec as it hits

Probably won't be as bad as what you guys are going to get, though. Wishing you all the best!

 

[Fireproof]

Single digits here for the next 5 days or so. Texas ain’t built for this!

 

[TimOwens316]

I feel for you guys, be safe!

Hasn't started here yet. Heading out to rehearsal now. I might get proven wrong but damn does it feel like media is media ing this up lol. Storm of the century. Snowmagedeon lol. Fuck man it's Michigan and it's the winter time we've all been through this before.

 

[Whizzinby]

I’m in the south where thankfully it’s just a dry hard freeze. Really just a matter of whether the power stays on, and/or pipes freeze and pop. We don’t exactly winterize houses down here.

 

[Mooselake]

Right on the western edge of the snow here, only expecting 3" or less, but it's -2F as I type this at 5:51 PM, high tomorrow of 0F, but up to a balmy 11F for the high on Christmas.

Exactly. Same. Drip those faucets. And hope the grid holds.

Sounds like something someone from Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo would say.... in true "downstater" fashion.

Just grateful I am not flying somewhere this weekend. I can't imagine the hell that would be.

4 F in Nashville just seems nuts!!


Be safe everyone.

 

[metropolis_4]

-12F here this evening as I headed to the theater for tonight’s show. Yuck

I’m used to cold. But it’s a little too cold

When I was a wee lad and visiting my grandparents in upstate NY (like REAL upstate, not ‘above NYC’) we’d go to Massena to see the locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The snow in that area of NY would literally fall up to 10feet deep back then. My grandparents had these huge ditches along the front portion of their property, once the snow would fall my dad showed me how they used to dig a tunnel, hollow out a cave in the ditch, start a fire inside of it and turn it into an ice cave. You could stand up all the way in them with plenty of snow overhead.

Hahahah, there was one year we were up there for a funeral, it started snowing HARD in the afternoon and dad and I took turns clearing the porch, we passed out thinking we got it good enough so we’d be able to do a quick shoveling in the morning and get out easy, but when we woke up the door was buried, opening it just left a wall of snow in front of it. We had to open the door on the other side of the breezeway and remove the snow that way!

Vegas is 61, scattered showers today. Sunny and 66 on Saturday! Come, enjoy the casinos where the weather is always boring...

 

[BROCKSTAR]

4 degrees and snowing here in Marietta, OH. 20 to 30mph winds, feels like -16

 

[DrewJD82]

Ya’ll are welcome to fly down and crash in my living room!

This was right as it started drizzling this morning-

 

[Warmart]

4 degrees here in north GA with a dusting of snow, and the power went out about an hour ago. Thankfully, our fireplace works!

When I first came to Canada, the St. Lawrence Seaway blew my mind. I'd never heard of it. Amazing that you can sail a ship all the way down past Montreal, through the great lakes to Chicago; it's incredible.

Chicago! All that way inland! Wow.
