I much prefer snow

Not me unless of course we're talking about freezing rain which I
wasn't.

I was, though.... Or, almost as bad, rain that turns snow into ice...

Wet and above freezing cold is normal for this time of year.
What we're experiencing now is not the norm for Febuary although snow
in Febuary isn't unheard of ... it's just not normal. The gale force winds predicted for just south of us is what has me nervous,
especially if the snow is heavy and wet. :::shudder:::

Heavy wet snow isn't much fun either.... and can be almost as bad as an
ice storm....

although I heard something about high winds, rain and possible
thunder overnight tonight.

Minus the thunder, it sounds like our forecast for overnight until Saturday. Also replace rain with snow although here at sea level it
could fall as rain. The high winds have got me spooked.

As well they might.... as it turned out, I didn't hear any thunder that night.... but we certainly had the high winds.... for over 24 hours....

Hope yours weren't too bad, and your precipitation was rain... ;)

Hallo Nancy!

Heavy wet snow isn't much fun either.... and can be almost as bad
as an ice storm....

So far, other than all the snow accumulating, we've been pretty lucky given that we're number one as far as amount of snow is concerned. :::knock on wood:::

Hope yours weren't too bad, and your precipitation was rain

No such luck but at least we've still got power. :::knock on wood:::

Het leven is goed,

So at least you get bragging rights... <G> Nice when that isn't
accompanied by other nasties.... ;)

Oh, well... still having power is a very good thing.... :)

Hola Nancy!

So at least you get bragging rights...

I'll reserve them until Saturday after storm three is supposedly over before cashing in any bragging rights. At this point in time it looks like we've already broken all snow records. Methinks this next storm is probably overkill.

still having power is a very good thing

Yes it is, especially since it is impossible to get out and being snowed in alone without distractions would be a very bad thing. As we speak it is dark outside as well as cold and I'd much rather it stay out.

La vida es buena,
Maurice

Sounds like it.... ;)

Quite agreed on that.... :) Hopefully you've stayed warm... :) And

Hey Nancy!

Hopefully you've stayed warm... :) And the lights have stayed
on.... :)

Yes and yes. The weather gurus are predicting this weather (cold and potential snow) will hang on for the rest of the month so we're not out of the woods yet.

Life is good,

In that case, stay warm and safe... :) And may the lights stay on,
