Well, though it's rare here where I live, we have had snow overnight.
When I lived in West Texas, it was rather easy to drive around. If it got too icy, I was just able to stay on campus and walk to WalMart or the grocery store to get food. The worst year the snow hit I had a full meal plan so I just ate in the cafeteria. And, for entertainment, I could go to the museum and spend hours there.
Today? Another story. So far I've succeeded in sliding down a hill to where a tractor was needed to pull me out, and slipped and slid around on my feet as well as my car I've felt like I was in a game of barroom shuffleboard/bowling (those coaster things you slide on a waxed board and play games).
So far, healthy, happy, car's fine and I'm not in the hospital...
But I sure am tired of being in this snow daze.
How is everyone else (besides Florida, which I still think is the only state to not have had snow this year) enjoying this cold, snowy weather?

I don't think Hawaii had snow.  Snow is common in Iowa. I'm fine with the several inches we got...and the ice. |

We haven't had snow that stuck since last February (at least, not in the Charleston area). But we did have an ice storm a few weeks ago...it was cool to look at, but I'm glad I didn't need to go anywhere. I just stayed inside and drank hot chocolate with marshmallows  |

It's cleared up here except for spots on ground that doesn't get any sun. That should disappear when the sun warms up the ground. All I know is that I owe a place a bunch of cookies and a thank you card though.

At least we didn't get hit by the blizzard again today.  |

True. We got hit enough last year. |

The local news here said we might get some sleet/snow tomorrow morning, but it shouldn't cause problems :/ I hope that's true!

We had cold winds today and a flash freeze early this morning. ON the plus side, I ended up with a couple of neat photos.
Downside - it was 23 degrees and with the wind was even colder (maybe 8-14), so cold that I could only spend being outside 5 or so minutes before I had to find some place to get warm. Kinda eerie feeling there though - I can see why people got lost in the snow easily, cold weather can confuse you.

It was well below zero here. OK, but did you get to stay in a nice warm building all day? |

No. I got to be outside as usual. I am in and out every day. I got to stay outside in 23 degree weather about 10 minutes. I felt like the ice cream I later went on and purchased. Why cold weather makes me want ice cream I don't know. |
