They have a saying in Ohio...

OMG!!! That´s horrible!!!
We have almost same saying in Iceland...'If you dont like weather wait for 5minutes' ... Especially in summer we have about 5min raining and then sunshine again... and so on I heard once there some years ago in northern Iceland in the middle of July they had snow for about 15 minutes

Anna, that saying is SO true!!!
Up here by the Lake, you only have to wait a few hours!
Yesterday the rain/sleet stuff stopped at about 4:00, then from 4 till 10pm last night it was ALL snow. Then after midnight it turned to freezing rain & ice. Right now in my back yard is about 5 inches of snow and a layer of ice on top!

I hate to say it Anna, but I'd rather have the rain, then all the ice here!! I just crunched my way out to the truck, and got he defroster going...the dogs went out and didn't sink into the snow atall..it is glazed over with about 1/2 inch of ice!!

I wish I had a little ice dancing outfit I could have put on Sierra this morning!!
She was slipping and sliding all over the place just trying to go potty!! I was LMAO!! Buddy didn't have that problem, he is almost 25lbs heavier than her, so all he did was "CRUNCH.. CRUNCH" Through the thick layer of ice, he didn't like it at all, so he did what he had to do... and came back in the house! While we watched Sierra finish her routine with a triple lutz and a belly flop!!!

Your kidding right?! I like to swim, but not in 33 degree weather

Yeah Amy we are fine. I can hear the ice melting and dropping off the house as I sit here. I don't think we got it as bad as Sidney though (thank goodness). And luckily the water has receeded so I can now get to my car and go to work


Hope all the other Ohioans are doing alright after all this!

I am pretty sure I heard the temps were dipping into the 20s down here (Cincinnati) tonight. SOOOOO....we may have little ice skating ponds all over. I do prefer the rain over the snow, though. I hate shoveling!

My goodness!! You could go swimming! Wow! i hope our snow doesn't melt like that. That would be bad, but I doubt its going to go anywhere with the minus degree weather we have been having ad the -20 something wind chill!! It's COLD!!!

That saying holds true for Michigan as well. I remember years where people were wearing shorts outside at the beginning of January, and getting a foot of snow the next day.
