*Bumped* – by request from our readers. The major storm that began last Friday has now blasted its way throughout the United States finally reaching the East Coast. A brutal mix of ice and snow has hit millions.
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE -…Major winter storm to begin impacting the Central and Southern Plains today, before moving into the Mid-South, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast this weekend… ♦Catastrophic ice accumulations are expected from the Southern Plains to the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic… ♦Dangerously cold temperatures set to expand across much of the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. through early next week.
A significant winter storm is forecast to begin in the Southern Rockies and Central/Southern Plains today, progressing eastward through the Mid-South and into the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast through Monday. This is expected to produce large swaths of heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain, bringing hazardous driving conditions, power outages, and tree damage. The heaviest snowfall is expected across a large area, including parts of the Southern Rockies, Plains, and through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Snowfall totals are expected to exceed one foot in parts of these areas, and widespread travel disruptions are likely.
South of the snow axis, widespread freezing rain and sleet are expected, affecting the Southern Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley, and much of the Mid-Atlantic. Catastrophic impacts are expected where freezing rain totals exceed half an inch, with over an inch expected in parts of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and the Southern Appalachians.
After the passing of the winter storm, a strong arctic air mass originated from Canada will continue to bring frigid temperatures into the eastern
two-thirds of the U.S. into early next week. Sub-zero low temperatures will spread from through these regions, and will be accompanied by gusty winds, bringing dangerously low wind chills. The coldest wind chills may fall below -50F across the Northern Plains, and numerous other record lows are expected.
These wind chills will pose a life-threatening risk of hypothermia and frostbite to exposed skin, and risks could be prolonged and exacerbated by power outages caused by the aforementioned winter storm. Cold temperatures are then expected to continue across much of the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. into early February according to a Key Message from the Climate Prediction Center. [SOURCE]
Take this storm seriously, folks.
Moderate to major impacts are expected from the Central US through to the Northeast today through the weekend.
– Hazardous to impossible driving conditions are expected. Avoid travel if at all possible.

2 feet in Cincinnati!
More like around a foot. TWC was broadcasting live from there today.
Where I am, near Boston, we are getting 2 feet.
Close to 2 feet here in Framingham. Second batch predicted for later this afternoon, maybe 3-5″.
2 inch sheet of ice in Dallas.
Fun improvisational sledding down here on the ice. Anyone ever play frisbee/disc golf?
One disc under the rump and one under each foot.
It’s like trying to steer an old Sit & Spin or hockey puck going fast down a hill. Cheap and faster than most store bought sleds. Doesn’t work on snow. Gotta have an ice sheet.
Much the same to your east in Bowie County, it’s cold, too.
I always feel so happy for little kids when these huge snowstorms come.
What. A. Blast. these snowstorms were! So glad I grew up with them!!
As a kid in the late 70s, central IL and many other places had several brutal winters. I recall January 1982, temp was -22F, wind chill was -55F. Unless you had a heated garage, your car wasn’t starting.
Clearing 30” Seacoast NH. Still snowing gently. Dogs (1 smaller 40# and 1 53# full size vizsla) struggling with cold and personal hygiene.
UAF turn off the HAARP. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Somebody at UAF or somewhere needs to go to jail. Nobody even talks about it. They’re doing
stuff like this one and Helena and there seems to be no accountability.
These are major attacks and nobody knows about the HAARP and nobody cares.
I would think this would be at the top of Patels list to investigate.
Dane Wigginton has been telling of this, in detail, for nearly ten years, and has been totally ignored. At least, Trump listened. But, like so much else, we need action. I think our POTUS has his hands unbelievably full.
Actually, I think Hero Dane Wigington has been at this (with the help of many Patriots) for more 15+ years.
His latest 2 podcasts are about this storm.
lots of well-documented research here:
GeoEngineeringWatch.org
God bless all of you in the cold regions. If it’s near freezing here, then you all have to be suffering.
Central VA about two-three inches of snow with a frozen layer on top of ice
from some freezing rain afterwards.
Perfect kid sledding. Treacherous adult driving.
Don’t have anywhere I need to be for next few days. I can stay home.
Staying home.
Feel really bad for people down south who are not used to this stuff and so are unprepared.
Most people up north – if worse comes to worse- at least have piles and piles of quilts and warm blankets, warm winter clothes and boots/slippers hats gloves, all kinds of stuff to dress up in if there’s no heat.
Southerners don’t really have any reason to have all that stuff around.
People up north are having a blast in the 1st big snowstorm of the season.
One of the most beautiful things I ever saw in my whole life was an ice storm back in the 60’s. Was on the school bus and we drove down a road , trees glistening and sparkling in the sunlight on both sides of the road. Never saw anything like it before or since.
I remember a couple of ice storms in the 70s, one of them just a few weeks after the Blizzard of 78. Looks pretty, but there is nothing more treacherous than one of those ice storms. Every square inch outside was pure ice. It was almost impossible to move at all. There was another in the mid-90s, but nothing since then.
re. the hazards of ice storms> Looking back , it seems a bit bizarre that the school bus was up and running that day.
They must have sanded and salted the heck out of the bus route.
Different world back then. Every storm wasn’t a “crisis.”
I have to laugh at how they cancel school and shut everything down now in what is normal winter weather up here.
It wasn’t this way not that long ago and there is no reason at all for it.
The snow removal has never been better, our tires, our vehicles, it’s all never been better and yet they shut everything down.
I remember the days before front wheel drive, 4 wheel drive wasn’t a normal thing to have as we do now.
Our vehicles were sleds and towns had two snow plows and yet we all went to work and school.
Truly, we’re raising soft wimps today with no skills to survive.
Spot on, NHnative.
“Truly, we’re raising soft wimps today with no skills to survive.”
And that is exactly (!!) what “they” want! Be it weather, disease, employment, or just day-to-day living.
Fear of everything, no critical thinking, no coping skills.
I have a niece who’s 27, and her brother is 23. They both have never left the home. The dad (my b-i-l) coddles them to the point of pure sadness. No jobs, ever, and the young man did not even finish high school (he didnt really want to get out of bed each day, cuz he was tired from staying up all night on his computer).
“I weep for the future” (maitre’d in the movie ferris bueller’s day off).
I believe that the roots of the situation is the capture by the Insurance racket.
Everyone is forced to have insurance and then once you do, you are literally forced to run your business/school as the insurance company demands.
Don’t do it, have an accident and then they won’t cover you.
We’re all slaves living on their free range plantation.
I keep saying this all the time: the way to win in this game is to have no debt at all, do not play in their game- maintain the smallest and most independent footprint/lifestyle that you can create for your family.
All of this used to be our normal way to live until we began drinking their Koolaid.
They can’t do a whole lot if we’re simply not there!
This is still a free country- you don’t have to be there. If we all leave it’s quite a game changer but too many people don’t want to do the work and give up the junk.
“Better safe than sorry” when you’re asking kids to wait outside for the school bus. You can avoid that.
They allow for a certain number of “snow days.” One year, when winter weather basically didn’t happen here in the South, school ended about a week earlier than usual, because none of the “snow days” had been used.
Where I lived then (N. of Chicago), we had a cumulative 90 inches of snow, WHICH NEVER MELTED FOR MORE THAN A MONTH.
I was born and raised in Michigan. I left Michigan 23 years ago and moved south. I still have my cold weather gear, gloves, hats, parka and scarves. Even buy more for my family over the years. Plenty of blankets and cold weather clothing. Always be prepared. A little kitty litter to get a grip for ice. Most dangerous is the drivers down here they drive fast and end up in trouble.
I’ll never forget an ice storm in MO around 1990. We played hockey in my neighbor’s front yard and wore ice skates down the sledding hill. We had so much fun!
I hope you wore a helmet with those ice skates!
I am lucky that I did not get killed sledding on little hills when as a kid: once, I hurtled over a small jump, landed on and fractured my arm. Even worse, another time, my baby brother hit me by accident, causing a concussion.
ahhh, those were the days!
I also have a lot my northern stuff down here in Fla., JIC.
But if I had grown up here, I wouldn’t have any of it.
Even if I lived down South, I’d still insist upon having a wood stove- because while it’s more rare, they do get hit with these storms every few years.
A wood stove can and will literally save your life- I’d never be without one.
Wood stoves are the *best*. And even a fireplace if that’s all you’ve got.
You’ll never be cold if you’ve got a fire in one room and plenty of blankets to block it off.
And you can throw the refrigerator/freezer food out in the snow to keep it cold!
A few battery lanterns and flashlights, and you’re good to go.
My house was built in 1785. I have old photos of it with horse and buggy out front, no power lines going into the house, no indoor pluming a outhouse in the back yard. No insulation in the walls. No chainsaws or wood spilters. And we think we have it tough… not.
IL raised, recent transplant to NE NC. You are so correct that southern drivers are clueless how to drive and are a menace on the road under snowy/icy conditions. My route to work is taking back country roads, which are the last to be treated, if then. Thankfully we can telework tomorrow. Stay safe and warm!
Not just the south, PNW too.
People don’t slow down. Crazy!
Sunny, it’s been decades, but I would go walking in the UW Madison Arboretum after a snowfall. I can still hear and feel the hush. The snow crunching under my boots was the only sound. I still see the iced branches sparkling in the moonlight, and feel the scarf over my face freezing up. The whole world was silent except for me.
Nowadays, I’m wondering why someone in Memphis would ever have to own a snow shovel!!😄
brrrr… Madison was cold as heck! Wind Chill.
Had my student ID in my back pocket on a walk to school one morning, and it was so cold that the plastic shattered!
Check out the Rhinelander area, summer or winter usually the coldest area in the state.
Madison is ‘down south’ from where I grew up, about 3 1/2 hours drive. One good thing about the below zero temps is the air is so dry it can’t carry much if any moisture so little to no snow. We get our big snowfalls when not starts to warm up in late February and early to the middle of March. Anything above HWY 64 is pretty much in the snow belt and gets a lot more snow.
Currently 4° here in CO
‘Balmy’ in NE Washington State, with the daily highs from 35 to 40 over the next few days… long time since I’ve seen this, even though the past couple of years have had very little snow.
I’m 17 miles east of dia 7F here light snow. We had 80 f. On Christmas.
Who’s playing with the thermostat? LOL
That’s a real question.
Is it God or is it HAARP geoengineering?
12° in Memphis.
A whole 1″ up on the Plateau…
But miserably cold temps
SETX we had about .2″ of ice and a dusting of snow. Current temp of 18°
Oh boy, sounds slippery as heck.
Hope nobody is trying to drive on that.
Oh, people will try. There’s always morons who try.
Nine degrees outside Buffalo, NY after about 8 inches of snow. Some schools closed tomorrow, more so because of the colder than usual temperatures. Natives should be used to it, IDK about the immigrants.
You misspelled invaders.
Thank you. I should have prefaced that word with the word “illegal”, or used “invaders”.
I had the experience of going back to college as an adult in 2000-2003. At that time, there were a lot of legal immigrants in the Community College. Most were not only going to school full time, but also held full time employment. Their work ethic put a lot of lazy American offspring to shame.
???
How cold will it be tomorrow?
Cuz 9 degrees doesn’t sound so bad. For sure not bad enough to cancel school?
I remember school getting canceled for 20 below wind chill, but not for anything above that!
Schools these days are cancelled if the wind blows too hard. It’s in the Teacher’s Union contracts.
That is pathetic.
I would not have cancelled school (or our Sunday service yesterday) either.
But it was not my call.
This generation is really lame. Nothing like our elders that had to endure the Great Depression of the 1930’s.
Must be global warming. Where is Al Gore when you need him?
GeoEngineeringWatch.org has lots of research on what “they”are doing to convince the gullibles that climate change is real.
Ad rem and Sundance, thank you so much for bumping this post, as I was one of the readers who requested it. Snow in the winter means much need income for this small business owner, and this cold, deep powder snow event for a 48 hour period will help me survive the winter.
I got an early unexpected start as my employer for a winter part time gig shut their doors at 4 p.m. as many in New England hunkered down and watched the Patriots.
Back in November, I invested in a used ‘Snow Thrower’, light weight and portable enough to lift up into the back of my truck, and I put it to good use this evening.
At one customer’s place, I thought I had hit a curb with it under 10 inches of snow, pushed around it with my boot, noticed something that at first glance, supposed was a dog’s stuffed animal: sadly, it was a dead adult rabbit.
At any rate, it is still snowing: by morning, we will have about 18 inches, and another 2-3 inches will fall by early Tuesday morning.
Maybe I can finally lay down some nordic ski tracks on familiar trails on Wednesday after the storm.
Stay safe my friend. And RIP – 🐰
Black Rabbit of Inlé came calling.
Thank you, Ad rem. My Dad told me to take it easy and not have a cardiac arrest.
Chris, I’m about 23 miles south of Boston. Took care of 8 inches last night (powder) and will have about the same this morning once the daylight arrives. Official town report was just over 17 inches.
It’s 30 degrees right now, little wind, no power loss (knock on wood), so all-in-all, not too bad of a storm.
Still, be careful out there!
Good morning poncedefreon!
Eyeballing it, there is about 2 feet on my deck. The snow guys have yet to arrive for my condo: some of my customers have superlative customer support.
I am fortifying myself with bacon, 4 eggs, two slices of two with smoked salmon, copious coffee and will bring plenty of water, a complete change of clothes and 2nd pair of boots.
It is going to be a long day.
And sadly, most of my revenue today will be used to pay federal taxes.
When do business owners get to keep some slice of their earnings beyond living expenses and taxes?????
Correction: two slices of toast…
Yes; the Farmington Valley, at least 22 inches. Light fluffy powder, or at least it was went to blow my first pass ((I have 350-400 foot drive). Cleared a blow relief path to the left of the drive too.
My one neighbor, walking his dogs, was making fun of me for blowing it during the storm. He’s the idiot not me.
My work will be less today. Almost went out at midnight but the wife talked me out of it. Regardless it was smart to start my drive yesterday; first the drive, then roof raking, then another pass on the driveway.
No internet, Comcast is down. But I have power.
Stay warm friend, stay safe too- you know the idiots will be out thinking the office is that important.
God speed!
Paul Reveres Horse, you were wise to work it through the storm.
My little snow thrower has a 10 inch opening.
Today will be interesting.
It paid iff Chris, neighbors all struggling to blow snow while I coated, except for plow pile. My house is the first after a bend in the road 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
broken mail box, still no internet but Comcast trucks on out street and the make n one; well, it sucks it’s all underground here.
Hope you’re fairing well!
I never was into downhill skiing, but I absolutely loved Nordic. It was a Zen-like “the woods on a snowy evening” experience. On well-groomed trails otherwise known as forest roads. Once you got the hang of it, you could sail along very easily and “hike” several miles, mostly in the very-quiet solitude of sound-absorbing snow. In the strange winter light. Nothing like it.
I’d drive up to Flagstaff, Arizona for my winter skiing experience. Then, drive home to Scottsdale and jump in the pool . . .
Hi Mike!
I started with Nordic at 14 and took up Alpine at 42. Too tired and sore to ski for a few days.
May lay down some snowshoe tracks over the weekend and then ski next week!
I’m in the VERY fortunate position of being in that little sliver of the South Carolina coast that didn’t get anything except temperatures in the 40ies yesterday and today and some much needed rain. It was 72° F on Thursday. The predictions for this week are highs in the 45-50 range and lows in the 20s. I’m really happy I bought a heated mattress pad in December.
We had a bit of lightning around 8-8:30 tonight and one of the cats looked at me as if to ask me if I heard that because we aren’t used to that in January.
I hope the rest of you are doing as best you can and that everyone gets their power restored ASAP.
Had a great day in St. Louis region. We got about 10-12 inches, which is a lot for us. Temps in the single digits. I came outside late morning and started digging out along with several neighbors. Organically, as we all finished, we started shoveling older neighbors’ driveways. While we were shoveling, there were kids running around having a blast. I’m sure other people had tougher outcomes from this storm, but it was a great day on our street. Stay warm treepers.
Sounds like a wonderful day!
And you *know* those people whose driveways you shoveled are appreciative as heck.
Well done!
Their surprise was the best part!
“Only” 8 inches of powder measured here at about 3 p.m. At least its the white powdery stuff. The issue is the COLD below zero temps coming in the days ahead. I woke up to the silence of no traffic except for a car spinning its wheels in the snow.
I believe it will take over a week for western PA to dig out from this storm. Not helped by the temps below zero to come. Very few snowplows out today, and I live on a major highway. Lots of peaceful land behind me though.
Have travel plans for two weeks . Honestly, I don’t know why my intuition is telling me to cancel this trip for a second time already.
I am wondering if it is the political weather vs. the atmospheric conditions that are causing this feeling to NOT GO.
I’d tell myself to respect those instincts!
I absolutely agree.
On Long Island we got about a foot, nothing too crazy, but high temps in the 20s forecast for the next 7-10 days or so. Winter, my least favorite season.
20 degrees is the *perfect* winter temp.
Not too cold, but cold enough so the snow stays.
Loved it, very exhilarating.
Weather was enhanced to destroy Humanity, lands & life –
Treason by stealth
By: LT ROBERT POWELL
Be blessed everyone, and pause to ponder the recent past actions, by our Leadership
in so many activities. Today I do not desire chat. This must be exposed to so many
who simply cannot wrap their heads around the Government being at WAR with we the
owners. Helene is just one example, of the silent war against humanity that has
transpired for years. Now, LA, and Environmental-ISM as the tool to “15 Minute Cities”.
Some historical quotes to gain proper understanding of Orwells Theory of Doublespeak
& Doublethink concerning the deception in Climate political language. Orwell noted:
Doublespeak: language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the
meaning of words. ( author ) this is major element of Socio-communissm.
Doublethink: is to know and to not know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness
while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which
cancel out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use
logic against logic.
Quote: “The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to
unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water
shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human
intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be
overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.” — Club of Rome. Founded 1968.
Quote: “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony… climate change
provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”-
Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment.
Quote: “The data doesn’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations on the data.
We’re basing them on the climate models” Prof. – Chris Folland, Hadley Centre for
Climate Prediction and Research.
Quote: “Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced
resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.” ( Read Eugenics ) –
Professor Maurice King —Director of the UN Rio Accord-
Quote: “the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence more than 500 million but
less than one billion.” – Club of Rome, Goals for Mankind.
Quote: “Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class –
involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning, and
suburban housing – are not sustainable.” – Maurice Strong, 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Mr.
Strong was a Brundtland Commission senior member.
Now that the stakes are clear, this peer reviewed, and published Document has the
necessary elements to confront this UN “Humanist” and soulless assault if elevated in
the educational platforms over the pseudo-science of the paid “Elite” like WEF, WHO.

ABSTRACT
Earth’s life support systems are breaking down, including the stratospheric
ozone layer, which protects all higher life on the planet from deadly
ultraviolet radiation. This breakdown is a direct result of human activities
including the large-scale manipulation of processes that affect Earth’s
climate, otherwise known as geoengineering. We present further evidence
that coal fly ash, utilized in tropospheric aerosol geoengineering, is the
primary cause of stratospheric ozone depletion, not chlorofluorocarbons,
as “decreed” by the Montreal Protocol. The misdiagnosis was a potentially
fatal mistake by mankind. Coal fly ash particles, uplifted to the
stratosphere, are collected and trapped by polar stratospheric clouds. In
springtime, as these clouds begin to melt/evaporate, multiple coal fly ash
compounds and elements are released to react with and consume
stratospheric ozone. Contrary to the prevailing narrative, the stratospheric
ozone layer has already been badly damaged and now increasingly deadly
ultraviolet radiation, UV- B and UV-C, penetrates to Earth’s surface. Our
time is short to permanently end all geoengineering activities, and to
reduce and/or eliminate all sources of aerosolized coal fly ash, including
first and foremost the jet-sprayed emplacements into the troposphere that
are systematically breaking down Earth’s support systems and poisoning
life on this planet. in simple words:
DELIBERATE COLLAPSE OF EARTH’S BIOSPHERE
The information above provides the data to find,
Good Morning America, how are ya?
9 Degrees in Kankakee…
Due for minus 25 windchills…not 25 sacks of mail…
This smells like geoengineeering at work to cause chaos and confusion. I do not trust the military industrial complex at all. May God help us through this madness.
Here in Oregon we are under attack with massive chemical attacks from above with geoengineering at work in different way in form of off named chem trails. Portland area hit with 20 to 30 cargo plains flying over head all day and now into the night dropping tons of toxins on mostly sleeping populace. I pray for God’s just vengeance on those perpetrating this horror show. I now my God is outraged and will bring justice to those perpetrating this madness.
Yeah verily. I read long ago that “they” are spraying something like coal ash. I guess that’s fixing their disposal issue with that where it is one clogged a river in the US.
Curious if the spraying is only indigenous to the USA?
Definitely not confined to US. Folks at geo engineering.com estimate 40 to 60 million tons sprayed worldwide each year. Nonoparticles, coal ash, aluminum, and only God knows what else.
GeoEngineeringWatch.org
Thanks for clarifying web. I listen to all the time but went from memory.
I follow this subject myself.
I’m very surprised that this hasn’t been a top priority to take on and end by RFK Jr and the Trump team.
Decent food has always been available, but there is little choice about the air we’re all breathing in.
The chem trails they poison us with is a urgent and critical situation.
The rise of asthma and respiratory disease because of all this is as important as diabetes and heart disease.
I’ll remind everyone of what the cost of those inhalers are- I swear Big Pharma pays for those planes.
There is a fascinating conversation between Robert Kennedy Jr (when he was a candidate) and Dane Wigington of GeoEngineeringWatch.org.
I couldn’t tell who was interviewing who. 😊
I learned a lot:
👇
Dana not to happy with Kennedy these days. We hope Kennedy gets to work on this issue soon. No doubt bit money and power behind the spraying operation!!
“They” are threatening to JFK anyone who stops their Weather Manipulation / Weather Weaponization AGENDA.
That’s probably why Lee Zeldin, EPA Commissioner, keeps calling CHEMTRAILS contrails! Dane’s not too pleased with that either.
Dane Wigington has posted a 90-second special Ice Chemical Nucleation video today about this Winter’s events.
“196 million under winter weather alerts as massive storm brings dangerous cold and snow” (NBC News).
“Deadly winter storm blasts America with catastrophic ice, extreme snow”(FOX Weather). Catastrophic ice storms and patented processes of chemical ice nucleation, what could possibly go wrong?
“Climate engineering operations are creating chemical winter weather chaos. The more heavily and extensively the geoengineers utilize chemical ice nucleating materials, the more extreme the surface cooling that they can and do create. Do you object?”
👇
https://geoengineeringwatch.org/chemical-icemageddon-90-second-alert/
Yes I subscribe to dana’s webcast weekly. Great info. I do wish Dana was less vicious in his attacks on Trump and his team. I have repeatedly alerted him to this reality.
I am with you big time. I am praying for Kennedy to get to work on this critical issue soon.
Thanks for the bump. I’m in the snow belt of NE Ohio about 10 minutes from Lake Erie. Yesterday was bone cold — like 2 degrees with windchill of -10-20 degrees below. No wind and clear streets before the overnight snow, thankfully – but I could feel the frostbite-type cold through my yoga pants. Today, we had 8-10″ of snow, but at 16 degrees, it felt much warmer.
I’m grateful to God that the snowfall stopped early this evening (we thought it would continue through Monday morning) and that we didn’t lose power, heat, lights, cable or internet. My 95 year old mom and I live in the same apartment building — glad especially for her sake that we were safe, warm and toasty. (Church was cancelled today, so I was happy I didn’t have to be on the roads.) Stay safe, treepers, and be warm!
I live about 35mi south of San Antonio. It’s pretty cold in South Texas terms. about 26degrees. Other than that everything is normal. As we know, Texas has it’s own grid, which I am a part of. BTW not all of Texas is on the Texas grid.
Here in northern Nevada the current temp is 15 degrees. This season has been very mild so far with only 1 inch of snowfall in the valley few weeks ago. There is some snow on the mountain peaks but it has been melting off as daytime temps reacing as high as 40 degrees just last week. This is quite unusual for this area as we have seen snow 2 to 3 feet deep on the valley floors many times during this time of the winter season.
I’ve got an old pit bull dog who was born on Friday September 13, 2013. I brought her home in November that year at 9 weeks old.
In January of 2013 I had to take her into town to get her first puppy shots. I remember it well as we had a very cold winter weather event here at that time.
It is not unusual to experience sub zero temperatures in January or February here, but that year we had night time temps of -30 degrees plus wind chill factor and did not reach above zero during the days. That lasted about 3 weeks. Snow on top of black ice on the highway made traveling extremely dangerous.
The day I took our pup into town, I was carefully going slowly down the highway when a neighbor driving a van pulled onto the highway from an entrance road in front of us. He hit the ice that was hidden benath the snow and spun out, crossing the oncoming lane and landing in the ditch.
Fortunately, there was no other traffic anywhere near!
I was able to pull his rig out of the ditch with my weighted down 4 wheel drive truck, and even made it into town with a few minutes to spare before the scheduled appointment with the veterinarian.
The black ice is not conducive to safe driving, so I hope and pray that folks over there in affected areas of this current weather anomaly will stay safe. The folks in the southern states are not used to driving in such conditions. I know this as we have family and friends who live Texas, which is affected.
So we pray for God’s protection over folks who must travel during this strange weather event.
Yeah, I have no doubt the powers that be have been fooling with the weather for many years now. It is sickening to see what is happening to our country. This past two weeks we had many jet airliners flying over and dragging chemtrails across the sky until the entire area was covered in artificial clouds. It boggles the mind what they are doing. I rest assured there will be hell to pay come judgement day.
Please, God help us.
Amen.
Snow, sleet, and rain in SE VA. Solid sheet of ice now – everywhere. Temps staying below freezing. Very slippery conditions.
South Louisiana, just went outside, 25 degrees, a light dusting of snow on the car, but clear skies. It’s the wind and wind chill that will not be fun. We Cajuns just eat more gumbo!!
LA ex-pat here…it is absolutely Gumbo weather!!
Currently -4 in SW Missouri.
We got about 10-12″.
We have three indoor kitties who are warm and toasty, plus three outdoor cats who each have their own shelters.
Power has stayed on.
Prayers for everyone 🙏!
Is the wind blowing? Is the Sun shining? Will millions lose heat and light because of politics?
Potential for interesting week if the power grid doesn’t hold up under the unseasonably cold weather in the South/mid Atlantic states this week. Still paying a price for the “green energy” stupidity extending back for years now. The dependability of the power grid to sustain increased demands combined with “data centers” sucking more and more Watts is in doubt.
“BOSTON/HOUSTON—Power plant outages surged along the eastern United States on Sunday as constricted natural gas supplies and frigid temperatures cut the electricity output of the region’s generation fleet.”
“PJM’s territory also is hurt by bottlenecks in its transmission system of high-voltage power lines, hindering the transfer from west to east. For example, cheap power in Illinois on Sunday – sometimes dipping into negative prices because of abundant wind energy – could not be moved to help out other sections of PJM.
As snow and sleet hit the major cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC, the power grid also lost access to solar power in the afternoon from an increase in cloud cover.”

How’s that wind and solar working out for you? Who knew during a winter storm that cloud cover would eliminate solar power generation? Sheez……!
Bring on the micro nuclear power generation plants yesterday please.
I remember the blizzard of 1977 as well as a few others from the 1950’s .

CT here we got about 18 inches..but fortunately it is the light fluffy snow so it is not
to bad to shovel.
For us southerners, it’s not the snow. Snow is beautiful. Ice is just tragic. Our county has basically just shut down with stay home “orders”/recommendations. 2 lane roads winding through the hills with zero road service. There are a few people I know who had the foresight to get whole house generators, but very few. Everyone else is on their own.
I am thankful that I have not lost electricity, and will not attempt going anywhere.
Wind chill of 2 degrees. Middle Tennessee. Another 24 hours and we’ll be through the worst of it!
A wood stove and a whole house generator is absolutely worth the investment..
Just a smattering of snow here in the mountains of TN…grass didn’t even get covered. Thanks be to God…
Roswell NM, 4 degrees right now, Clovis at 1 degree seems to be the coldest NM weather.
Farther north Albuquerque is a warm 25.
For those blaming chemtrails for this event please see below.
For those not blaming geoengineering, please see above.
I feel incredibly blessed to be in SE WI & to have dodged the worst of this storm. It’s been hellishly cold but the power’s on & we haven’t had snow.
Prayers for God’s protection & mercy for all of my fellow citizens who are suffering the worst of the storm. In Jesus name, Amen.
Cold here in Blanco County Texas. Layer of frozen sleet all over… 14 degrees . Heater went out yesterday ,yay_. thankful I have a fireplace , all is good, god has it under control..
Here in N. Texas (about 5 miles from the Red River). We got about 4 inches of snow, but sleet came first (about 1 inch). It got pretty slippery for awhile. This morning at 8:00 it was 10 but felt like -5. Currently it is 19 and feels like 18. Tonight it will go down to 19 but feel like 7. At least the sun is shining brightly today. By Wednesday, the worse cold will be gone.
I was raised in Pennsylvania and also lived 6500 feet up in the Arizona mountains. Have a lot of cold weather clothes to layer myself. Good boots with good tread for very carefully tromping around on this mess to feed my horse.
Power stayed on, but I installed a propane stove for heat after the 2021 storm.
For those who are still dealing with this storm and bitter cold, I pray you all get through it without losing your power, in Jesus name, Amen.
Retired Magistrate here: Well, here in Delaware County Ohio down by the river, we received a little over 16 inches of snow; which is a lot of snow for this area.
Thankfully, we kept the power. The snow was light and fluffy so no trees or big limbs down and power lines to house are OK. Now comes the fun part, digging our way out. Yesterday, I moved some of the snow off of our deck and our neighbor came over and did some more. I was able to clear off the front deck and today my husband will attack the long, steep gravel driveway with our 2 stage snow blower. He will take numerous breaks to come in and warm up because the high today will be 11 degrees with wind. I will attempt to push more snow; however, I am running out of places to push the snow because I can’t lift it.
Yes, we have health problems but life goes on and yes, it is more difficult to live where we do. However, it is so beautiful with our woods, our house on top of a ridge overlooking the river and a well built, large 1957 ranch with a dry basement that it is worth it.
So life goes on, and we are grateful that the fuel oil furnace is working, we have food to eat (I am getting ready to fix breakfast) and we have each other and JESUS has us.
A foot here in central NH. Just another winter storm. Good luck to those that don’t experience weather like this.
2 inches of frozen slush here in Spartanburg, SC. Windy and cold. Sun expected today so should see some streets cleared.
That’s snow was stolen from MT but they can keep it.
Yesterday was a miserable day here in SW Williamson County, TN. Spent most of the day without power starting at 6:15am ending at 6:35 pm. Finally spent the last 3 hours in my car to warm up. I am most grateful to the Middle TN Electric techs. In the rural area the trees were cracking like shotguns. I’ve got quite a mess of big branches that will eventually need to be cleaned up but since none are blocking the driveway or on the house, there’s always tomorrow.
Travel on my rural road is non existent. Still too much ice. Maybe with the sun coming out the road will improve.
35 and 12 inches on CC
Gorgeous, beautiful, peaceful snowstorm, yesterday, while Pa and I were biting our nails, downing Bourbon shots with Fish Head, watching the Pats.
I was a little weepy, after they won (drunk) crying remembering all the football parties and Super Bowls in yesteryears, Pa and I hosted. Those memories were to savior in our old age, and you hardly know it at the time. The win was bittersweet.
Mid NH got about a foot of snow. It is cold and the snow is light and fluffy.
SE Ohio:
A mild +16 degrees and 8″ snow last time I checked. Ice for a while but electricity still on.
Predicted near -10 later in the week but so far so good.
Minus one in KCMO.
Eggs: $1.79 GA lg.
They went from calling this weather event the “Alberta Clipper” to naming winter storms.
It’s happened many times before and it’s gonna happen again and never gonna stop in the Winter months.
And Bill Gates wants to seed the stratosphere to keep Earth from warming.
Oh, that’s being done and MUCH more.
Well-researched info in this documentary, The Dimming.
See it on YT or at GeoEngineeringWatch.org.
No big deal in NH, normal winter weather by our standards.
It was in the single digits yesterday during the storm, so we got a very light crystal type of snow that was fine, like snow mist.
I got about 14″ where I am inland, over near the seacoast they got a very heavy and wet snow from the ocean.
It’s somewhat unusual for them to get such high snowfall over on the seacoast. It’s because it was so cold here that even the warmer air of the ocean was still a low enough temp to make all that snow.
Had it been warmer, they would have seen more ice and rain which is usually how it goes.
But given the damage that the ice does, I’m sure they are happier with the snow.. it all melts fast over there as it’s always slightly warmer from the ocean air.
No issues with power outages, overall a decent storm for us and no big deal- which is how we like them- snow if good for our economy and sadly, the snow storm fizzled out before it hit the mountains and ski regions of the state.
I’m sure they are not happy about this, they would have loved a giant snow fall up north and this storm didn’t deliver for them.
I like to read the “forecast discussions” on weather.gov, and those of the past few days have been very long and interesting. Apparently, warm air aloft can flow over cold air at the surface, “damming” it in place.
Forecasters knew that the mountains of cold air were coming, but it was very uncertain what they would actually do, until they arrived. Naturally, they are trained to forecast the worst that could possibly happen, but they even used the word, “uncertain,” in the twice-daily forecast text. Telling us to “keep coming back for updates throughout the day.”
It is 12 degrees here in southern Ohio with 12″ of snow. I’m grateful we didn’t have ice. I hired a man who offered to clean our driveway…he scammed us for $50 and did a lousy job. Now my 76 year old husband is outside shoveling which is what I was trying to avoid.
Horrible layer of ice here. Fallen limbs, and they are embedded in the ice and no one here is crazy enough to even try to move or cut them. Too cold and linemen cannot restore services until the ice melts off the lines. Traffic is nil. .
Thanking God we have electricity and running water. Many friends do not.
We lived in upper western NY until I was 13, then in south west Mi. sometimes I don’t get the hoopla over winter storms. As you get older, they become a pain in the ass.
Heh, dig it, snow meximerkins. Need help? Normally your northern neighbour( aka “snow Mexicans”) would volunteer.
But nomo. Send money, goobers!
Here in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area, we were spared. We got wind about an inch and a half of rain, at above-freezing temperatures, then a rain-free pause, then a very cold (single-digit) night. This meant that a coating of ice did not have a chance to develop. Nor did we see any snow.
Daytime temperatures now bounced up to at, or very slightly above, 32. It is sunny and clear. As is typical, Nashville was not so lucky, getting ice.
There is no further precipitation in the forecast, but cold wind will have to be properly dealt with.
Well, this is when we say “Lucky you live Hawaii”.
