A lot of severe weather across northern Texas, Oklahoma, and a system that is heading to SE states today.
Tornado warnings in many places .. @Ken N Tx ... you okay?

Temps seem to be going from highs in 80's down to freezing soon.

NW of here are blizzard warnings (Co.) and whiteouts in the western Mountain ranges.
It's a huge system that will be moving across the country this week.

Yes, Bonnie I heard about this. I hope you and everyone in the storm path will be safe. Stay home.

Sorry, but I have to respond, especially since yesterday's tornado around Grapevine, Texas ran right beside where we were previously living last year. Glad we're not there anymore. There was a carwash that I had taken our car through before, and a waffle breakfast place (had wonderful breakfast) across the street that are gone right now. And we used to shop at the Sam's Club and Walmart just under 2 miles away on State Highway 114. Their roofs are gone. Grapevine had damage from a tornado, first time since we had lived there in 1994.

Today, sun is out but it is in the 50s F temps right now.

Updated forecast is a foot of snow between now and early Saturday morning. What can I say? It's upstate NY, it's December, it's......expected. I'm going to get outside and play in it a bit tomorrow morning, dong snow angels and a snowman.
 
Seasonable temp, but it's starting to becoming overcast. "Major impact winter storm" forecast starting tonight into Saturday. Probably what they got in the midwest yesterday. I've received emails from the power and cable companies warning to be prepared for outages.

Britain will hit -18C tonight as the Met Office issues a Sunday weather warning for most of the country, with canals and lakes freezing and beaches turning white with no let-up in Britain's big freeze.

The Met Office said that the 'extreme' cold temperature could be seen in Braemar, Scotland, which has already seen -17.3C in the current cold snap as snow, ice and bitterly cold winds continue to batter Britain.

The rest of the country will not be much warmer, with temperatures ranging from -14C to -8C expected this evening.

Tomorrow will remain cold, with lows of -11C expected in Scotland, and -8C in the south of England, warming to a chilly -7C on Saturday night in the north, and -5C in the south.

The national forecaster has issued a yellow weather warning for ice across most of the UK on Sunday, with the daytime temperatures expected to be colder than the night.

Commuters are braced for fresh travel chaos, with temperatures plummeting as low as -12C overnight.

It's absolutely cold.. what's worse is we can't afford to put our heating on for more than a very short period..this is the UK as a whole, not just me.. because of the Huge rises in prices for Electricity and Gas this year... . I've got 3 layers on top.. 2 layers on the bottom.. 2 pairs of socks..

I 've had the heating on for an hour after I came home today to take the cold off, and also to protect the pipes from bursting .. but I can't have it on longer... it's costing around £5 or £6 an hour just for the Gas Central heating, and that's not including the Electricity which is double the price of the Gas..

I'm not cold with all these clothes on.. but I'm worried for those who have PAYG heating, and are on low income.. !!
 
A woman in our Bible study didn't attend yesterday. She called the pastor while he was there and said she was out of heating fuel. She gets it though public assistance and when she tried to get them to bring her more, they said she wasn't due for another delivery until January. She is very poor and can't afford to pay OOP for it. She's a widow and just went through a bad time with her son and his drug habit (I think he died also). I told the pastor after he explained the situation that he should go to her house (it's just up the street from where we have the study) and determine if she was out of fuel or it was a problem with the furnace. I'm not sure what he did other than call a church board member to see if she could do anything.

I though I had run out last March when I woke up to a cold house, but when I checked the tank, it was half full. My oil man came for a service all and determined it was a furnace glitch.
 
1Celsius, mixed snow/heavy sleet and windy. The first response units are busy today .. I could hear their
sirens. People don't seem to want to drive more cautiously, no matter what the weather.
