No - just light snow, over by noon, short period of freezing rain then
rain this afternoon.

Damn climate change - jesus - how much climate change can they stuff
into 24 hours anyway? :)

I blame Canada.

Or Al Gore.

Gaithersburg, Maryland, just north of Washington, DC = Yes.

All secondary roads are covered with ice. Road crews are working on the
primary roads and "snow" emergency routes.

We're just going to get a little rain out of it in Atlanta. People I
work with in Lexington, KY are getting slammed.

Got hit last night. Woke up to a quarter inch of ice on everything this
morning. I'm sure glad I fastened a rope from the bow to the console frame
to the engine to provide support for the boat cover. Worked like a charm.

Oh man! We didn't get hit with so much ice but we really got a snow!

It was really tough, because the state boys couldn't keep up with it.
travel was really hairy.

In 36hr.s approx 15-18 inch's which it hasn't snowed here this hard
in about 10 years. The city came by they're John Deere backhoe and at
least scooped out our driveway, and I got the cars out with little
trouble, but seemed like ti took about an hr. to get all the snow off
the windows and get everything defrosted so she could make it to
work.
I wet up to my shop but didn't even attempt to pull in. My sops is t
my dad's place and its in the country and located up a quarter mile
long lane. I'd estimate that it that it was a good two to three foot
drift in some places. i could have trudged my way up to the place and
spent a bunch of time trying to get my brothers JD 4020 started, then
spend all day trying to blade the lane off, but thought that would be
a lot of work for nothing. So, I'm here at home in the warm.

But while up at the folks place, I noticed something different with
the landscape. After pondering that something was different, It
finally occurred to me that the state boys and surgically removed the
mail box with a snow blade.

Oh well....

Well, the day turned out well. bright and sunny. The highway crews did
a good job on finishing up. the local construction business went
around town and did a lot of work in peopled driveways and back
streets. this afternoon most of the main roads dried up quickly. The
guy that farms dad's ground came down with his FW Assist JD with a
Rhino blade and cleared up dad's driveway really well. Now I go back
to work tomorrow. I've sat around the house all day today and it
drives me nuts to do that.

Forcast is it should be OK tomorrow, but there's a small front that
will be pulling though and it will bring the rain/snow/sleet/ice but
it shouldn't be brad. What's bothersome this time of year is to have a
snow, THEN a rain on top of the snow, then a freeze. Now we're a
slippin' and a slidin'!

Neighbor said they had an hour delay in golf because of frost on the greens.
Was nice in the mid 60's mid afternoon and forecast for high winds and
record highs for the weekend. 77 or so.

Hey, Tim (and others)
 

As of the news this morning, we're under a "Winter Weather Advisory"

Now, doesn't that tell you a lot?

It tells me the snow on the golf course isn't going to melt anytime today.

Crap.
