We’re in western Massachusetts, where we’ve just broken a 65-year-old snowfall record for our town. We’re currently at over 47″ and since we didn’t get our January thaw, we have all those inches on the ground. We’re now going back and forth from snow to ice pellets with a winter storm warning in effect until Thursday morning.
Other than the shoveling, we’ve been enjoying the snow as it’s been a balmy 20F/-6C
Bookwarm, you’ve given us quite the mental image of Charlotte Mason on her very short nature walk!
Hah, that may have been a Freudian slip, Bookworm…Bookwarm is how I hope you are right now 🙂
Well, here in Northwestern Mississippi (close to Memphis, Tn) we had a high around 55F with lots of blowing rain and a wind advisory. However, the windchill tonight is 10F! The high tomorrow is 34F. We have had a rollercoaster in temps here, but no snow or ice this time.
Just checked on the weather here in south east MI, windy, snowing, have 4 inches already, temp 18, windchill 2. We are expecting the full blizzard to hit later today Wednesday.
Indonesia…. hot and humid (which I normally do not enjoy) I would love right now!! We are in coastal Maine. Also under a winter weather warning until tomorrow sometime. With another heavy storm headed here on Saturday. We are expected to get around 15 or so inches of snow today. We already have close to 3ft of snow on the ground from the previous snowfalls. Over the last 6 weeks we’ve had a storm every week.
I’m praying for winter to be over soon!! It’s also been bitterly cold here… below zero many days. I’m always surprised when my boys bundled up and still go out to play. Not their momma!!
blessedmom, howdy neighbor! We’re in Cedar Springs. Those snow drifts out there would surely be over my 3yo’s head, who’s also begging me to go out. I figured I’d wait until the wind dies down a bit – bitterly cold!
JoyinIndo – now I understand your display name . I seriously would love to be treking through those jungles of Indonesia right now .
Rebecca, Happy Anniversary!! I hope you and your husband had a lovely evening together! May God bless your marriage for another wonderful year.
I live in Southeast Florida and it’s sunny and 70 degrees. I know, I really feel for you northerners. I wouldn’t last very long up there. I don’t know how you do it!
I wouldn’t mind being snowed in for a few days with my family though. Maybe just once a year? Weather hardly ever stops activities here. (Except for hurricanes and that’s another story!). I could use a stay-in-vacation imposed by God right about now! But I will be thankful for what I have!
csmamma……We live in Cedar, too!! I thought of the few homeschool families I know that we were the only “weird” homeschoolers that don’t use “real curriculum!” Small world!
We are in Middle Ga! It will be in the mid 50’s today. We had beautiful mid 70’s weather over the wkd! Then a couple of wks ago we had snow..a rarity here in the South! The boys certainly enjoyed playing in it, and I did too!
I cannot imagine seeing snow drifts or being buried under snow! BRRRRR! Stay warm everyone!
This is such a depressing thread – why do I keep reading it???? Said the CA native living in Nebraska!
OK – we’re definitely having a better winter than LAST year, and God is sparing us in comparison to some of our not too far away neighbors – Bookworm… While with wind chill our outside temp feels sometimes like 20 below, we onlly have a small amount of snow from the past day or two so at least we’re not having to shovel constantly, though the drift in front of our front door is 4 feet high – we’ve been leaving therough the garage where we’ve just got about a foot right outside the garage door and then farther away from the house is tapers off to a sheet of ice.
My dad sent me a box of CA oranges via Fedex, which I keep eagerly watching out the window for… here’s hoping they’re not frozen!
I am in Central Wisconsin and we survived our second blizzard of the “snow year” last night. I had to drive home in them both times! It is 25 degrees right now but with the wind blowing it is more like 0. All the schools are closed except for us:) Stay warm everyone, it is a soup night for us!
Here’s the view out our Illinois back door where the drifts have blown. My son in the picture is almost 6′ tall. It was a beautiful sunny day much of today, and not too cold.
