Blizzard conditions

[skeeter]

Thanks TC for sending some snow. Near 1/4" accumulated... on the porch rail. Worked all day in sleeveless shirt. Started cooling midafternoon. light rain by seven then sleet mix. Don't know when it started to snow. More than likely to be all ice in the a.m. anyway. So much for putting off fixin the heater in the truck. It will be a slow morning without a defroster. On second thought I'll steal the wifes Mountaineer. Tools already on the job.

Send some of this to CJ.

Geez, skeeter! It must be terrible there for you!! Ha Ha

We had ice, then snow last night. Couldn't hardly get the frozen door open on my TrailBlazer this morning. Right now the thermometer reads 6 degrees and will probably drop further tonight.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in Iowa?? BnG

I hear that B&G. That came through here on its way to your house.

Y'all are making me cold just looking at those photos! This morning it was 30 degrees and I rode to work with my lined chaps, lined coat, balaclava, heavy gloves with inserts and full helmet. It took me almost as long to get ready as it did getting to work!

Hey Jeff, for some reason I never thought it got that cold in Texas.
I rode my bike home from Oswego NY when it was 38 degrees and I really didn't have a good time.
I don't think it would really be worth it to me bundle up for a short ride to work.

nice picture TC no snow in leicestershire u.k. yet

[skeeter]

Hey, I could hardly see past the blinds in the door.
Nothing really stuck except on raised surfaces. Windshield was clear so I took the truck. Guess I should work on that heater. Today.
Hard to acclimate with such huge temperature swings.

We usually get more ice than snow.
Stay warm and dry.

Was supposed to leave in the morning to ride the Trace up to Nashville. They are predicting 3" of accumulated snow and ice patches in the Tupelo, MS area. I have a difficult time keeping the shiny side up in gravel. Don't think I'll try snow & ice. May delay leaving until Friday morning.

Man!, Skeeter, I know what you mean. That same "snow storm" is passing through Houston right now. A little earlier today I thought we might have to shut down the city ???

Worst part is the "extremes". was 72 or so yesterday, 32 and snowing this evening in Pasa-get down-dena,TX USA. Hasnt snowed here since Christmas Eve 2004, and before that it was 1989.

I hope this crap clears out before morning so I can ride to Galveston about noon for the Lone Star Rally. To hell with the cold, if it's dry I'm riding.

Believe it or not, we are getting accumulations of 3 - 5" down here this morning in the Baton Rouge area. It snowed pretty heavy for about 20 minutes at my home just a little while ago but the ground isn't cold enough for any accumulation. 38 degrees at the moment. What a weird weather pattern.....

[lw]

The snowflake convention resulted in accumulation of about 4 inches in the yard. While that may seem insignificant to our Northern neighbors, it is enough to nearly shut down the city here. Thanks to Tex DOT's engineers who design freeway interchanges with flyovers eighty feet in the air, and two of the three bridges over the ship channel being closed, as well as the elevated freeway that feeds two of them traffic was a nightmare. Fortunately this isnt an every winter occurrance, and the sun is out in force. the front yard is green again and the temps are up to 39. Will be leaving for Galveston in about an hour for the Lone Star Rally.

It even made it to the Drudge Report. Enjoy a day off TX and the Gulf states!

Ride safe LW. Yeah I know you can't read it if your already gone so a quick prayer will have to do.
