Snow!!!!

I heard on the news today that an average winter in Chicago is 38 inches of snow. We have had 40 inches so far and it's only mid-January! I'm just tired of the cycles - snow, cold, few days of milder weather. Snow, cold. Repeat.

This morning's weather report says temperatures will take a nosedive tomorrow with this next polar vortex coming and along with that we'll be getting some snow. They're not saying how much though. The snow shovel and salt are ready to go.

Trenton is going to get walloped!

I am trying not to get my hopes up, which I am sure is the opposite of most folks!

Trenton is going to get walloped!

It started snowing around mid-morning here in Trenton and it's still coming down fast & furious. Amigo is curled up on my lap purring contentedly, there's a fresh pot of coffee, a quiet do nothing kind of day. The latest weather reports are now saying we could get 14" before the snow ends tomorrow morning but the amount of snow expected has been increasing throughout the day. I am loving this and can't wait to get outside!

The snow has not yet started, but the juncos have been busy eating up any seed left before the storm comes!

[Karen]

The snow has commenced
Traffic, therefore is stopped, red
Taillights everywhere

I am thankful and
Take the long way around the
Snow hushed reservoir

Inside the warm car
I watch as sky and ice blend
Into pale silence

So I move from the 'how cold is it' thread to the 'snow' thread. Warming up to a blissful 20*F so now bring on the snow! Up to 6" before it's over. So far it's dry snow and I have snow broomed my drive clear first thing when I took the pups out. Jake enjoyed playing ball first thing in the snow. Better than yesterday morning when I had to grab him and carry him in the house due to his back feet freezing up.
