Yes Sir...

Just outside my Apt. on the third floor, my landing has about a three foot snow drift, and climbing! :)

Thie wind is the kicker in this thing, and it is fierce. Oh, and the entire state of Oklahoma has been put under a state of emergency.....sure we will not be the last.

Sweet mother! I think the coldest I've experienced was about -30ish, with windchill.

I've been prepared for this storm since the weekend. :lifter As I drove home earlier this afternoon (thanks boss for letting us go early) you could see the parking lots jam packed with cars. Guess they didn't hear about the storm. :rolleyes:

We have 50mph winds now, the snow is litterly being lifted from the ground and you can see some mini snow tornadoes. Since I'm inside, I'm enjoying my winter wonderland.

Some of my NG Soldiers have been called up for SAD, they were having a fun time of it this morning getting ready and packing vehicles. Stay safe guys!

Be safe Holly.

You too! Seriously, this is a big storm! Be careful, and take care Gypsy!

:cool:

Oh come on B, you know you want some of this. :D Took these about 0700 today. And yes, there is a car buried in between the two semi-visible cars in the second pic. Not mine!

Couple more...

We received 21 inches so far. I know this because of my scientific method of measurement. Snow is over my knees, I'm only 63 inches tall...thus 1/3 of me is covered in show. 1/3 of Gypsy equals 21 inches. :D

Supposedly a few more inches may fall today. But the sun is out for now, so the digout begins.

One thing that is annoying the hell out of me is the continued round the clock coverage on all stations of the event...enough already. Give us your updates and return us to our "regularly scheduled programming".

My happy thought of the day - we didn't get the snow nerly as bad as Gypsy. :D

The city I live in and the one in which I work both did a great job clearing the roads and I was in to work in 35 minutes (normally a 20 minute drive) - of course, I did get to work at 0530 to avoid idiots on the road...

We're Iced in, here in NE FtWorth, since yesterday morning!! Not looking for it to go away until the weekend!! It was +10@ 0500 this morning and currently @ +14.

Heard about that, my corporate office is in FT Worth, they had about 1/3 the staff yesterday morning and finally closed down. Stay safe!

We're going to be about -30 tonight with wind chills and frigid temps for days, and "snow flurries" over the weekend.

You're lucky, we heard southern Wisconsin and southern Michigan would get it bad. NW Indiana was hit worse than us.

Just looking at those pictures makes me feel cold. :(

The extended forecast for Southern California is sunshine and 75 degrees.

If you're stuck indoors because of the weather be sure to drink plenty of fluids. :p

Let's see...

Irish Whiskey, check.

Tequila and limes, check.

Maker's Mark, check.

Ok I'm good to go on that advice. :D

Now that looks like fun, Sten!

You know if I told you that I just bought you a round trip that departs in the morning for here (oh yes it was 88 deg today) for the next 6 days I know you would be sitting at the airport tonight. 88deg on the beach in Feb beats frozen in the house looking out the window........and hoping the car can be dug out this year.;)
