| Looks like it could be a big ice storm headed this way. Just finished layin' in the firewood, stocking up on essentials. This could really get messy by Sunday night. As I was driving home, the temp dropped from 70 to 45 in about 2 seconds. Never seen it quite that dramatic before. Hope the electricity lasts until after the games on Sunday! ____________________

I sure hope we don't get that down here! When you get dramatic weather like that, you have to remember the warnings about when the so called climate flip happens, stuff like that will happen really fast. Last weekend on Saturday it got up to 70 degrees. The next day it was 35-40, and then there were a couple of days it was like 20. I have to peruse the great minds of meterology and find out what's going on, but what I already saw was that the surface temps of the ocean are disturbingly warm for most of the world, warm enough (only has to be 28 Celcius) that if a cyclone (hurricane) formed it could strike almost anywhere. In Australia in 8 weeks they had 7 cyclones one lined up right after another. There is something going on, but the boys from NASA and the military try to keep it quiet. Regardless, we have our ways to find out and we will.  ____________________

No snow here. Very rare for this part of the country. Temps way above normal. Looks like the last snow storm (lake effect) missed us entirely. While areas only five miles to the North, and West received anywhere from 17" to 24". Looks like I’ll have to truck the snowmobile north.
But I’m not complaining. I love these el Nino winters.

Punkinseed isn't that far from me.
We have only had two snowstorms of any importance, the one this week giving us all of four inches.
It's all melted now.

that's pretty cold anywhere. I know many places have and had worse but Vegas?

Whenever disaster or freakish weather happens in westernized countries, don't the Grand Poobahs of the radical Islamic factions give credit to Allah for this ?

Second day of winter weather in KC. Cold, about two inches of frozen sleet on the ground, sleeting again right now (I guess it's sleet - the National Weather Service is calling it "Unknown Precipitation") - 17 degrees, down to about 5 tonight. Brrr.
But, hey, there's about seven hours of playoff football here in a while!  Why leave the house? ____________________

The roads are passable here (NW Ark) but not so much where I work (20 miles north). Forecast for a thunder-sleet (!!!) storm early afternoon - guess I won't be able to make it in today. Darn.

You know about the ice storm that has gripped the midwest causing 21 deaths, well that ain't all.
Tsunami vigil in Japan after earthquake
TOKYO, Jan 13: A powerful 8.2-magnitude earthquake rocked the northern Pacific on Saturday, prompting warnings for thousands of Japanese to flee for higher ground before tsunami fears eased as only small waves hit the coast.
The US cancelled an earlier tsunami alert for Russia, Japan, Taiwan, Guam and other smaller Pacific islands issued after the huge tremor off the Russian-controlled Kuril Islands at about 0424 GMT.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre also withdrew a tsunami watch for a vast part of the Pacific basin including the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Papua-New Guinea and Hawaii.—

Is that all? Nope, there was a landslide causing a subway station collapse in San Paolo, Brazil too.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/6260991.stm
90,000 people in Malaysia have to leave their homes due to flooding. (Noah isn't there with the Ark for them). The picture gives you an idea what we will have to deal with in this country when the oceans rise due to the climate change and the areas that are at sea level become innundated as time goes on and the world marches forward closer towards it's unstoppable destiny.

| Waitin' all weekend for this "severe" ice storm - looks like it may finally get goping tonight. We've been pretty lucky so far, but the temp is dropping and the freezing rain is still falling. Hope we don't lose the electricity! ____________________

The dreaded ice storm hit here in the Detroit area at about midnight. We lost power at 6:30am and there is no estimate when it may be back. Last time we had a storm like this we were without power for 4 days. Friggin' NASA bastards!  ____________________
