Winter

[Leah]

I don't think New Orleans got below freezing in December and January. It's been low 40's, rarely in the high 30's/

I moved from California to Oregon about 15 years ago.  Winter was something I used to love, and now have come to dread.  I can't stand the cold, rain, and lack of sunshine.  Winter has just become really difficult for me, especially with COVID and being home all year.

People here are upset and confused because winter came back in winter 
It is understandable as we haven't had a "decent" winter since the late 1990s, and folks aren't used to snow anymore it seems.
They are predicting 1,4 F for tonight and down to -11,2 F the next few days. I'm not surprised. It used to be like this in the good old days

-4 F

Coldest day of the year so far.

Even Texas is getting in on this "winter" thing this year, after skipping it for the last decade or so.
High today of 18 degrees Fahrenheit, low tomorrow night at or below zero!
And 3-7 inches of snow in the forecast!  I am loving it!

It's 14 F. here and we got about a 10 inches of snow.
Now it fells like Michigan!

The thermometer isn't scheduled to peek above freezing until Sunday. Looks like we have between 1-2 inches of snow right now, with more on the way (6-8 inches total in today's snow, with more coming later in the week). As long as it's this cold I'd prefer there to be some snow---as long as it's plowed.

This wintery forenoon is as cold as my aunt, who told her third husband, "Just because I married you, does not mean you get to have sex with me."

Bet he wishes he would have known that BEFORE the wedding.

It was so cold this morning, three degrees, that one of my dogs had a tiny little pee-sicle hanging off him for a second when he came back in.

We hit 2 below yesterday.  That is the coldest temperature I have ever experienced in my 57 years!
(By "experienced" I mean, stayed in bed till after 8 and didn't go outside until it was a balmy 10 degrees, later in the morning! LOL)

But I did do my annual barefoot run around the house when I went out.  Well, not really annual these days, but whenever we get enough snow.

My FB friend in Houston doesn't have running water, electricity or Internet because of the cold weather.
This has to do with natural gas failure due to extreme weather? I assume there's no way this can be fixed or "upgraded" so it won't happen again. It sucks either way.
