Ice, Ice , Ice!
My idiot brother and one sister are driving a rented truck ( should have rented it up there ) to NH today from MD. ! Hope they make it!

I hope they make it too. Driving a rental truck when you're not used to trucks is a challenge all by itself.....to do it in icy conditions seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Weather in Chicago area is cold in a word. Right now it's 3 with sub-zero wind chills. Supposed to be in the 20's tomorrow with.......you guessed it.........more snow! Only a couple of inches this time. I'd really like to get off this merry-go-round sometime soon.
Starting to get a little warmer here but it still tends to stay below 20 degrees during the day and below 0 at night. Lake Superior is now completely frozen over so maybe I can walk to Canada now. Hey Wallace gal you might like this video

I don't remember which is which, but there's supposed to be six more weeks of winter so does that mean he didn't see his shadow? Seems to me that's the way it should be but I thought it was the opposite.
I don't know, we're supposed to get another 3-6 here tomorrow. A minor squall...

Yes he saw his shadow!
22°F here with snow coming down heavy, can't tell how much we have recieved because it is blowing around. Have a 3 foot drift right out my back door. Going to sit by the woodstove and watch it come down.
I'd love to be sitting in front of a wood-burning fireplace right about now....curled up with my book and a nice, hot cup of tea or cocoa. A mulled wine might be nice although 7:45 AM is probably too early for that! LOL
Woke up to 19 degrees in the Chicagoland area. Feelin' like spring!! Wonder how long before the bottom drops out again??

In western Minnesota, we got about an inch of snow in the last couple of days. The good news is that we are up to 19 degrees this morning. Finally getting temps above zero!
We managed 6 inches between 7 last night and about 2 this morning. It was coming an inch an hour for a bit. Today, it was 36 out so of course, things started melting like mad. We're supposed to have thunderstorms Thursday and 45 degrees then back into the single digits next week so all this melting stuff will be a solid sheet of ice. I'm getting a little tired of snow. And cold. And ice. And I never thought I'd say that...
