BIG Snow Jan 24,25 2026

[Roma]

My mood about now...



We got a good 6-8 inches of powder and a few inches of sleet on top of that.  Send in the white walkers already.

They are pretty handy critters to have around. I've never seen fruit that's fallen from my trees stay on the ground more than a day. They come every afternoon and eat it and sometimes stand up and get it right off the tree. I don't mind 'cause there 2 each of, apples, pears and peaches, so they don't really get too much off one tree. It's a 3 way battle between me, the birds or the deer to see who gets most of the cherries.

Damn birds win every time.

Expecting more snow Saturday.
Temps will be below freezing until Ground Hogs day.
So none of the snow/ice will melt before we get more.
Right now ... 4-6 expected forecast.
Storm models are showing 18 inches though.
(Wilmington, Delaware).
SO here we go again ....

Temps will be below freezing until Ground Hogs day.

Seen on the internet, talking about the freezing weather:

"Well, at least ice might finally be doing something."

[UltraBudgie]

Now we are supposed to get .75 to 1 inch of ice, which is not good

it is like some weird alternate reality?

Winter Storm Debilitates the South, Encasing Cities in Ice and Snow

The forecasts had predicted that the storm could be among the worst in a generation to hit the region. By Monday, it was clear that is exactly what happened.

The young weather people who give the weather here always do the worst case scenario.  We live in the U.P. of Michigan, a foot of snow is normal in a storm, and we have dealt with it all along.  I look at the weather service site, not local media where people are trying to blow things up.  Most people here have all wheel drive cars and suvs and some have four wheel drive trucks with plows.  I personally like four wheel drives than all wheel drives for a truck... our forester is all wheel drive with eight inches of clearance, but the old square body chevy is a true snowblazer with a plow on it and some really great tires.  The tires we put on the forester are wild peak tires...pretty decent in the snow, but the car is kind of light and not so good in lots of slushy snow.

Lots of people have tractors here with snowblowers on them....I wish I had a cap on mine, a six and a half foot snowblower causes a snowstorm on it's own.  But unless I win the lottery, I will settle with having my beard full of Ice when I am done...and when I do go out, the wife makes sure to make coffee for when I finish to melt the snow in my beard from the steam.

Now, all weathermen and weatherwomen seem to be a little overzealous when they first start, and of course they want to make people think they are important, so they overemphasize things doom and gloom a lot.  Us older people who spent time running around in their cars when they were young with a couple of other guys to push us, we know how to drive in the snow.  And of course, nowadays if you try to push a car out of the snowbank, it will probably be all dented where you pushed it from...tin cans are stronger.  And of course, a bunch of seventy year old guys shouldn't be driving around in snowstorms...we can't push out cars so much anymore without having a heart attack.

Weather is weather, whether you like it or not.  We got a half inch of snow last night, that is a dusting, two inches of snow is not even worth plowing, six inches of snow is ok, but it needs to be blown or shoveled or plowed to keep the matt down so it doesn't cause you to get stuck or turn to an ice rink when the sun comes back out.

I am a yooper, we got cold lately, you do not have to shovel cold.

Well, they weren't technically wrong for my area by the end of Sunday, we had the .75 of ice on trees, etc., then a cold rain
But the roads were okay.  

But yes, MOST OF GEORGIA freaks out except the NGA mountains

The news stations and the AJC, top advertisers, are grocery stores...just like always 

Enough Atlantans dont realize how MSM they pump up the volume and freak out

I was wondering if they would catch her.

[Maxmars]

There must be a network of Elsa's across the nation....

Mwahahahaaa!

I live in Southern California so snow is only for fun sports that happens up in the mountains a few months out of the year. I personally have only seen snow in real life once. I do see snow in my freezer quite often when it builds up. All joking aside, I cant imagine what you people go through in these kind of situations. The prepping, the aftermath and the necessary steps needed to just live in freezing cold weather. But, I thank you for allowing us others on the west coast to see what mother nature looks like in a different state.
