Where I am at we had about 1 1/2 feet of snow and temperatures got as low as -31 degrees C(-21 degrees F).

Well it wasn't as warm in the "Valley of the Sun", as it was where Chad & Rick are, but it was sunny with blue skies here...I'll gladly take that over what you northern folks had to deal with!!!

The only frosty cold stuff I want near me, is a mug with BEER IN IT!!!

Last I heard there is an Alberta clipper headed straight for Florida. Expected to arrive early next week and drop temperatures and heavy snow around the northern and central regions of your state.

Just kidding.

The last NW winter blast was sharp--60+ mph winds with single digit temps=mayhem anywhere--but what makes it really heavy around here in the Seattle area are the DRIVERS! The mere threat of snow makes contractors and soccer moms alike go careening into nearest available ditches. When something like this comes along the streets and highways look like the end of a high dollar D derby. I heard they had to pull over 300 abandoned vehicles off I-5 in Seattle. I didn't hear about anyone getting hurt. Drive carefully and cheerfully!
