Hi All,
We have had snow and ice every week for a month here in NC. This is not normal for this area. I'm getting a little tired of it but it's not like tornadoes, or floods. It might cause a little inconvenience but that is about all except in those areas where the trees got iced and brought the power lines down. Hope it doesn't happen today.

We had a very cold month of February up to now. Always -25C in the morning when getting up. A high of about -17C in average in the day time. The coldest was about -30C this morning.
They say it will warm up to -5C for a few days. That will be a hot spell
After several years of fairly calm winters, we are really getting our share of snow. Right now we are in the middle of quite a blizzard. We made the trip to Kentucky on Valentine's day to see family, and planned to stay the weekend, when the weather took a turn and we headed out yesterday evening, opting to drive the eleven hours home, over the mountains of West Virginia. Nothing but hard rain at first, then freezing slush, snow, and more of the same all the rest of the 500 some miles! We saw no accidents, and there were just very few people out at all. We arrived home at 2:30AM this morning and it was just beginning to lay on the roads! We are glad to be back. We have at least a foot of snow here right now.
We just got word that the family we just visited (hubby's son and family) had to leave their home and begin driving southward, as the ice storm hit Kentucky really hard last night after we left, and there was no heat in their home. They have a month old new baby!
Weather patterns are so different these days. No wonder the weather people have a difficult time trying to do their forecasts accurately. I have to say, though, that this time, they were right on the mark.
We are getting 20-25 inches of snow and blizzard like conditions.
we are so sorry to have chased the bad weather out of the Heartland. fri night started out with rain and we ended up with 9 inches of snow. kids were disappointed that it wasn't a school day. hope you don't have to go anywhere when it gets nasty out.
