How cold is it where you are?

[Karen]

Having lived in California (Northern) all my life and having visited Florida once, I'd choose California. Florida is just too humid/muggy for me.
We have cold weather (rarely, but sometimes) like when it was in the 20s and I found the Chihuahua on my porch. This winter was just dry and warm for some reason.

Even Southern California is always much warmer than the Bay Area (San Francisco) where I live. That's why we go to Disneyland in January.

Well, Worcester, the city where my niece lives, and my older brother works, just was granted the title of the Snowiest City in America! It is lightly snowing now, which is kinda funny, as this was supposed to be the day without snow between the storms!

Thanks Karen, I hope everyone stays safe and warm!
It's -4°F Feels Like -4° here as I head out to work. At least no wind chill, so not too bad.

Earlier today it was 6°F - and got all the way up to its current 13°F (-11°C) (wind chill at -3°F[-19C])

The media is all tizzy as we are predicted to get another blizzard this weekend, we'll see what happens, but the next town over, where my church is located, has already declared a parking ban for Saturday and Sunday, so unless that changes, I am betting church will be called off.

To all our friends of all species, good wishes and hopes and prayers that you all stay safe and warm what with all this snow and cold.

(I wish I could do something more than just send along good wishes..)

Parking Ban?

Our temps will seem balmy to you. Today it got up to 37F, but all this weekend and next week the night temps will be in the upper teens and low twenties. This is cold for us.

Right now it's 25F (-4C), but with the wind chill it feels like 13F. Snow is predicted for tomorrow, Sunday and Monday with highs around 15F both tomorrow and Sunday. I am so ready for a break in the weather. This has been a long week.

Yes, in these old New England town and cities, with streets laid out by following cow paths, dodging swaps, etc, long before civil engineering nd street planning was a "thing" end up banning on-street parking for storms, simply so they can plow safely. The streets are already much narrowed by the [previous storms' snowbanks, and they are running out of places to put the excess! Running errands today, I ended up waiting for 5 minutes as a guy in a Fedex truck stopped in the middle of the street, put on his flashers and delivered a package - thank heavens he apparently didn't need a signature! There was nowhere for him to pull over or off the road, and the road was down o=to one land of navigable space.

I got a call less than an hour ago, my own city, Waltham, is having a parking ban staring at ten p.m. Saturday night, but they at least list alternative places for folks to park if they need it!
