In west Michigan we are having a thundersleetstorm. Hundreds of lightning strikes and heavy rain on a 31 degree day. Freak!
This may update with time but right now the weather disturbance is quite obvious.
Impressive weather for sure cj - glad it ain't here. On the other hand, here we've got lightly accumulating snow, but its being piled into impressive drifts by this:
Quote:Severe Wind Chill Warning
A Severe Windchill Warning is in effect throughout the Indianhead Region from 6 pm this evening to 6 pm CST Friday. The National Weather Service - Duluth has also issued a Sever Wind Chill Warning which is in effect from 6 pm Friday through Noon CST Saturday.
A combination of high winds and falling temperatures will result in bitter wind chills of 35 to 40 Below Zero from the Brainerd and Cass Lakes areas through the Twin Ports and also across inland Northwest Wisconsin tonight and Friday morning. Falling temperatures and continued wind will result in much more severe wind chills of 50 to 55 below Zero Friday night into Saturday. Observe necessary livestock and equipment protection measures. Expect drifting snow with periods of limited visibility and avoid unnecessary travel or other outdoor exposure.
Oh, BTW, your graphic does appear to be updating.
here it's intense sunshine, slight breeze out of the southwest, cool 43, the lady diane and the lady osso put on a light windbreaker for their shopping trip. will be back up to the mid 60's for the weekend. I'm enchanted.
Enchanted or otherwise, you're a poopity head.
Timber, I think you have already been added to my poopity head list. After Lash but prior to Roger.
Hmmmm ... after Lash, huh? I gotta get busy and get my standings up. Thanks for the advisory.
70 degrees and sunny, bitches!
I love global warming! Woo-hoo! Give me some paint-thinner! We're gonna party!
I hate Michigan.
Try house breaking a freakin' dog in this.
Bella Dea,
Zoe's not being very cooperative with the potty training?
The nasty weather just finished here. I'm just about at the dot above the i in Chicago on cj's map. We had a bunch of rain and the low tomorrow is supposed to be in single digits so it will probably freeze. It would have been a lot of snow to shovel so I'm glad it was rain.

Not when it's freezing rain out and she has no hair or peachfuzz on her little belly. Poor thing!

Are you closer to Detroit, Bella? It looks like you're going to be in for it!
We started last night with heavy, wet snow, which partially melted, and then froze when the temperature hit a low well under freezing. Cleaned off the walks this morning, as did everyone else in the neighborhood--but after everyone had gone to work, it rained, and that froze. I just got back from walking the dogs, and it was nightmarish. The sidewalks were clear, but most of them were sheets of ice--but as it was black ice, you didn't know if your footing was sure or not. For a fifteen pound dog, no problem. For a two hundred fifty pound man, it was treacherous, though, and the dogs kept running off to the end of the leash, pulling, as though to say: "Come on, let's go, what's your problem?"
Darned little doggies . . .
61 and drizzly here. Weird. We'll probably get walloped with that line of bad stuff soon enough.
Yeah, just checked weather -- high of 65 today, high of 38 tomorrow. And a low of 23. [unethusiastic]Yay.[/unethusiastic]
Re: Wicked Weather Here Today
just over the border from detroit myself, not to bad today, windy with some brief heavy rains, very windy tonight though
Some weeks ago a friend of mine from MA forwarded me her weather forecast, which included "freezing fog" and "thundersnow."
At the time I was on the west coast, but I'm a native east coaster and Holy Bob in heaven but I've never heard of those meteorological monstrosities before. What is "freezing fog" and "thundersnow"? They sound apocalyptic.
Try the Northern Plains for odd weather terms - one you'll enounter from time to time - generally in tandem with temperatures well below 0° F - is "Snirt Storm" - that's essentially high wind with blowing snow and dirt. Ya gotta see it to really appreciate it.
Oh man, that thing cjhsa posted has been updating and is now poised to slam into Columbus... oof.
Clear skies and bitter cold today and tomorrow. Timber is already in the deep freeze.
Stumble It!
