No winter yet here- what about where you are?

I love it, for the most part. My only problem with the cold is it's been in the 20's here at night and our heat is broken. Yesterday morning it was 44° IN MY HOUSE! My poor kids are wearing several layers of clothes and hats inside. While Nathan was at school I went shopping with Topher just so we could be in the warm store. The heat should be fixed next week and then I will be loving this weather so much more.

I don't have heat in my house. Sometimes it's warmer outside than it is inside! Last January one of my house plants died it got so cold in here. Horrible insulation or lack of. I'm not sure what the temperature is in my house right now, but I have a long sweater trench coat on and gloves because I'm freezing! Dogs in bed and like ten blankets is a must at night.

Kay can't you get one of those little portable heaters? I don't think I could stand not having any heat

Well winter is pretty much official here. It's our first winter weather advisory.
From 1pm this afternoon 11am Monday. Accumulations will be 2 to 4 inches and we'll have wind gusts up to 35 mph. I can handle the snow, just hate the wind that goes with it!

Yep, Ohio is going to get hit with a winter storm again! This is my local forcast...
... WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 7 AM EST WEDNESDAY...
Warmed up a day, got most of the ice out of the gutters, here we go again! I better stop in the grocery store after church today!

In the middle of a storm right now, supposed to last for the next two days. The temperatures aren't too bad so far -12 but I think it's dropping a little at a time. Gusting winds and blowing snow, expecting 50 cm...

Yesterday we got cooler temperatures (upper 30s and windy) and it felt horrible! I'm not used to it yet! But it's supposed to warm up again today and this week.

I wonder when we will get snow? I'm kind of looking forward to it so my daughter can go out and play in it!

We live in Alaska. Winter arrived months ago!
Anyone want to join me at the picnic table?

[Randi]

We've had the winter and snow I need! Bring back summer!!

In my lifetime I cannot remember seeing that much snow and frost starting already in mid november! Finally yesterday, it was all melting, just to get cold again today. When will it stop!! At least the sun is out.

But... in a few weeks time the days get longer again and the sun will rise in the east again rather than the south.

Get yourself a little space heater next time they are on sale ... Make sure it is a "pet safe" one, of course, and keep it away from papers and clothes. Also check for drafts which is not a problem when it's warm out, but in cold weather can make a house seem even colder. Do you know how to do that? If you find any, insulate! (Or ask the landlord to do so!)

Anyone live in Minnesota? The roof of the Metrodome collapsed this morning -

Thank goodness no one was hurt. I was really glad to hear that it's an "inflatable" kind of dome, rather than a concrete and steel one that could caue so much harm.

My heat is poor too, so I use the oil-filled radiating heaters. And a kerosene heater. I turn all heaters off during the day, but all go on as soon as I get home. And so far the oil-filled heater has been economical. The kerosene is too.

I use Delonghi heaters and HeatMate Kerosene Heaters.

We had 4-5 inches of snow overnight, but our driveway is clear. The 50 mph gust of wind moved the snow somewhere. But it's cold here...really cold. Our high was supposed to be around 20 with unknown wind chill.

No snow here but LOTS of water. This is across the street from where I live.

It's a beautiful, sunny day in the west 'burbs of Chicago today. It's really cold out (14F) but not as windy as yesterday. But bright and sunny!

I heard on the news that it's 75 in Los Angeles today... wish I could head out there! But it isn't to be.

Cold, snowy and very windy here today. Right now 17* and a wind chill of 4*! Not a lot of snow accumulation, yet.
