We pretty much got what they were calling for so far. 1-2" of snow, then sleet and now freezing rain. Roads are a mess. it doesn't look like we'll get as much rain to help clean up this mess so take your time. And everything is supposed to freeze tonight when the cold front goes through so dry the weatherstripping on your doors or you might be frozen out of your vehicle tomorrow! :nod:

The roads are fine down here, though I fell on the ice trying to clean off the car. I rate it at about a 7 out of 10 on the gracefulness of the fall...FML :rofl:

Yeaa driving to school was fun this morning, I swear whether its rain/snow/etc people just forget how to drive.
I was supposed to drive to Holmdel for work today from PA. No thanks, it's an 1 1/2 hour trip when the roads are good. My DD is a 1994 Buick Roadmaster its not bad in the snow but ice and stupid people is another thing all together.

I was cleaning off the driveway and while standing at the top near the road, I literally slid my way down slowly without moving my legs, while shoveling the piles along the side of the driveway.

It was pretty slippery in central NJ. Slushy and icy on the way to work. The steps and driveway were slick again about 20 minutes I shoveled. Traction control in my DD Mustang is so cool, I am still getting used to it. It removes alot of the pucker factor of driving in this mess.

Weather.com is saying 48* right now with a high of 56*

I seen that on the news this morning but the weather lady said it was probably a mistake. If it is 68* I'm taking a ride.

If we're lucky it will only be snow showers but a couple of the models are showing 3-6" of snow for a good portion of our area. It was higher, but they backed off with the latest runs. And another storm for next week. Keep shoveling the snow as far away as you can so you have somewhere to put the next storm.

Yeah, all they did was look back at what they thought were similar La Nina winters to come up with their mild long term forecast. They're all changing their winter predictions now, but it's a little late for that. I guess I'm glad I played golf right up until the week before Christmas because it might be a while before I get to do that again. :nod:
