The severe storms of this past week went North and South of us, and all we got was about an inch of rain. However, it's been days since we've had any sun, and another huge cold front is due next week that will have us in bitter single digit temperatures. The Old Farmers Almanac predicted a long and cold Winter....and it looks like they may be right.
 

For all the hype about the blizzard coming to the northeast U.S., I haven't seen much. It looks like it was mainly rain (or freezing rain) overnight. So far today we've had a few off-and-on snow showers, but the day is still young.

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.. !!

2022 - How's the Weather Where You Are?​

3°F
Up at the cabin -9°F

I spent lotsa time outside at the cabin
Found out that right around 10°F and lower, cold is just cold
unless there's a wind
I used to scoff at references to 'chill factor'
No more
A slight breeze at 0°F will rip yer face off
 
Had a mix of rain, sleet and snow the last two days, but it hovered a little over freezing so very little on the ground. Cold, gray and seasonal for the upcoming week with a potential storm toward the end of the week. I will venture forth today after 2 days in the house.

Cars slipping , sliding and crashing in the snow.. ..this isn't my county, but it may as well be because exactly the same thing is happening here in my area..

We don't put snow tires on anymore, we have an all wheel drive Subaru, but if the weather is crappy and the roads aren't good we stay home.......for those who have to go out...as Sgt. Phil Esterhaus used to say on Hill Street Blues "Let's be careful out there".

It's pretty much over here except for the shoveling and blowing. It's fairly mild, so the snow is heavy and wet which makes for good snowmen but difficult shoveling. Looked to be between 2 and 3 inches.
 
Its a cold day here in the city where Iive temps in the 30's, last night we got about 3 inches of snow,areas south&north are under lake effect warning. I don't know why our local weather experts always hype about another snowstorm,as if we don't know how to deal with it. Its becoming ridiclous
