-6 below with the wind chill here in West Michigan, blizzard conditions.

[sarcasmo]

Over thirty inches of snow this month. Happy Winter Solstice to all.

[polichick]

1. Icy roads and ice-covered trees here in southeastern PA - Happy Winter Solstice!

[sarcasmo]

2. The snow is better than ice, be safe.

3. chilly and rainy on the California North Coast, snow at 1000 ft or so....

Happy solstice DU! :hi:

[MichiganVote]

4. Hey Sarcasmo....mucho snow in Allegan County. Looks to be 3ft by Wed.

8. The end of my driveway was above the main part of the shovel, where the handle actually meets the

Shovel. I took some photos and will post soon.

Are you in Grand Rapids or Holland?

6. We were at -15 degrees fahrenheit here in Colorado last week.

Amateurs! ;)

7. Happy holidays to all!

From Northern Lower Michigan where it is a balmy 18 degrees without wind chill. Couldn't tell you how much snow we have had so far but its been a lot.

9. We're toastier than you this morning; it's 3 degrees out there.

We have about 8 inches of snow, and are under a severe storm watch through tomorrow, expecting a lot more.

My plumbing is frozen up. I'll be heading into town later, ice or no, to watch my grandson for a few hours. We can use the plumbing at his house. ;)

A great day to curl up with a book and movie and stay home, really.

Happy Solstice to all.

:hi:

12. What makes it so bad is we are going to get about 4-6 more inches Tuesday into Wednesday night.

[LWolf]

18. Yes.

We're nowhere near Michigan, but we're on a severe winter storm watch through tomorrow, possibly Tuesday, with a bunch of snow, and a predicted ice storm, coming.

I talked to a friend in the town I lived in several years ago, 1000 miles south of me today; they got a rare snowstorm last week, too.

First we had an unusually warm fall; indian summer right up until the day we hit -2. BRRRRRR.

I just want my plumbing to unfreeze. Water is coming in, but it's not going out. Either something is frozen (likely,) or I've overloaded the septic system keeping faucets dripping (possible,) or both.

10. Happy Solstice! Blizzard in NW WA last night, very rare thing

Only 5 inches of snow, but we don't get blizzards here except extremely rarely.

Sun is coming back!!! YAY!!!!!!

[WillowTree]

11. Ummmm......actual temp here is -4. Chill factor is -31.

[surrealAmerican]

20. I was about to reply that it's about the same here, but ...

... then I noticed that you're in Chicago too. I think we just topped up the day with -1, but that wind is brutal.

[Mari333]

13. Hi from West MI also

yep, Its blowing like a m'f er out there. no need to go outside. no need to do anything but stay in pajamas and hunker down. colder then a well diggers arse too.

[riverdeep]

14. This past Monday's ice storm was interesting.

The ice was so thick on my car, I had to take two huge pots of nearly boiling water and pour them over my car. It was the only way to get the ice off.

Right now it's -2 and the wind is howling here just south of Chicago. I actually like winter so it's kind of fun. Of course, I don't have to work outside, that would make winter less much pleasant.

[applegrove]

15. I'm going to have to walk to work today. Not looking forward to it. I bet you I wipe out!!!

[PassingFair]

16. Perfect day to start my X-mas shopping!

Procrastinators R me...

:hi:

[roamer65]

17. Reminds me of a mid-1970's Michigan winter so far.

Lots of snow and friggin cold.

[MichiganVote]

19. :) We were cross country skiing on the main streets of GR during those winters.

[sarcasmo]

21. It does take you back to the 70's snow, today was just bitterly cold.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

22. -3 ambient/30 below windchill here in Chicago

We're supposed to get a huge dump o' snow tonight, but it may just be too damn cold.
