So i guess it's pretty nasty outside. My employer, Cyride the public transit bus, has cancelled service today. I'm not sure they've ever cancelled for a whole day before. I could use a day off. Too bad the weather sucks too much to go anywhere. A ton of roads are closed, as pictured below.

Yay blizzard!

Wow, that's crazy! We've been puting up with some very strong winds, it ripped off one of my gutters and nocked over and broke some Christmas decorations. But as far as the temp. it's 57 now but it's only supposed to be 27 tomarrow.

Yay blizzard!

Dude! Send some of that this way. We only got 3 measly inches. I woke up late because my stupid alarm clock didn't go off and all the roads were plowed and it was nearly 40 degrees. Where is all the snow!?!?

Yay blizzard!

We got a little over a foot with big drifts everywhere. It's 0 now, 5 below tonight with a 25 below wind chill. Hello winter!

Yay blizzard!

We had about 8-10" today and this evening a thunder/lightning storm. I've never seen that before.

Yay blizzard!

Thundersnow! It's pretty rare, but always weird when it happens. I've only seen it twice

Yay blizzard!

Yay blizzard!

We have had 8" stick to the ground in the last week. Its cold today. Windchill is -7 degrees this morning and 5 degrees without windchill factored in. Some places within 10 miles of me are at -23 windchill.

High today should be 15? I think they said...

Yay blizzard!
