We got a small bit of snow on Tuesday - about an inch or so. Our kids were out of school all week. (To be fair, our street and a lot of others turned into a sheet of ice for a few of days) They have missed 6+ days since January 2, with the Polar Vortex and now this. Now we are getting a few inches today. There is a glimmer of hope that it warms to the upper 30's tomorrow, before it dips back down to lows in the single digits. If the kids don't go back to school Monday, I don't know when they will go back.

I love winter and cold weather but this is getting annoying now. Had all sorts of plans today, forecast called for a dusting. Been snowing for 4 hours and roads are horrendous. High of 15 degrees most of next week and I am flying into Rochester Wednesday. Weeeeee

Coldest month in the U.S. in a century.

Here's a first for me: Had to sweep snow off a patch of my yard near the back porch steps. My dachshund didn't like draggin his junk through the snow.
ETA: cold and no furnace for a couple of days, now cold water to washing machine frozen.

1985 for me. Snow covered the ground from New Years until after Valentines Day. Friend of mine stayed at our house for 3 weeks after the pipes in his house froze and burst. I had an afternoon paper route...couldn't ride the bike, walked the route everyday, trudging through snow.mr roboto said:

I am on the other side of the state, We have had plenty of the cold and wind but been lucky enough to not have any snow, otherwise it would be a mess.

Seasonal average of snowfall amount through Jan 25th in Philadelphia is 8.5 inches, so far this winter we've piled up 35.7 and counting. 
Lexington KYwhat podunk school system is this?
Fingers crossed - we have about a 3-hour window around 3:00 tonight, where there is a 40% chance of snow - if it hits in the 3-7 am window, they will probably cancel school, and with temperatures dropping below zero on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, they'll likely cancel (supposedly due to the number of portable classrooms in use throughout the district, which cannot be heated adequately). That would put us out for 7 consecutive school days.

We're up to about 35 inches so far.

3rd step on my front steps now has a huge crack and some of the bricks are buckling up. The mortar is cracking. Problem is water gets in there, freezes, expands and then contracts when it melts. Will probably need my steps repointed in the spring. can't do it sooner since the water in the mortar mix will freeze and expand too. F'N sucks.

Bright side:
With all this insanely cold weather on the East Coast this year, we're killing off every ####### living thing around, which means instead of the mosquito infested springs and summers of recent past, we'll likely have some pleasant outdoors this year. Well worth it.

I'm not buying this. It is regularly this cold in the Canadian interior and they have tons of mosquitoes (unsure if different species).
If anything, the cold would hurt predators as hard or harder than the insects.

4" of snow forecast here Tuesday. Weird month.
No one here knows what to do except buy lots of milk and bread.
Lack of salt for the roads will be a nightmare. I do a local traffic page on Facebook and Twitter. I'm sure I will be busy over the next few days.

Not sure since I'm a relative newcomer to the Longest of Islands, but yeah, sounds like you're wrong.
Back in the OH, summers were pleasantly low on the bug scale when we'd have a late-April or early-May freeze. Never really mattered how bad the winter months were.

Good god, you're better off with 4 feet in NYC rather than 4 inches in mobile...
how many plows can be in Moblie?

I'm sure there are attachments for vehicles but we have zero plow/salt trucks. I imagine they would be brought in from other cities though. The snow would be on top of freezing rain/sleet earlier in the day. Forgot to mention that part.2-4" with 6-8" locally. 70 degrees this weekend.

I'd be way more worried about the freezing rain. You at least get some traction on snow and can see it. When there is a thin layer of ice on the road, even in the Northeast there are tons of morons that try to drive normally. If there is freezing rain/sleet anytime near rush hour down there, it's going to be a nightmare.

I know it's really hard on a place like Mobile or Dallas to get snow, but I find it hard to feel bad for you when it's gonna be 70 mother ####### degrees in 48 hours.

here in Chicago, it's been snowing every few days. mostly an inch or so every day. we haven't been dumped on in weeks.
today, i was driving to the museum with my little boy when i hit a pothole. as i was driving, i prayed that my rim(s) wouldn't get bent or damaged. a few blocks later i realize that i have a flat on the passenger side front tire. i pull over and see it is completely flat. the tire is also submerged in 2 inches of frozen water though.
i notice that i am parked about 50 yards from a tire place. it's closed on sunday, of course, but i should be able to drive it over.
a few hours later, i get a call from my son's preschool. they are closing tomorrow and maybe tuesday because the temps will be well below zero. looks like i will be getting the car fixed Tuesday, if i am lucky.
*sigh*

At least around here, this is something people talk about. It's been consistent with my experience too. Mild winters are often followed by miserable buggy summers, and vice versa. But all the biologists and anthropologists in here seem to disagree.

For any of you that didn't get enough laughs on Friday when 1/4" of ice on some overpasses shut down the city of Houston, tune in tomorrow when it's supposed to be colder and have more precipitation. Between recaps of Friday and discussing the Apocalypse tomorrow, I'm sure very little work is going to get done today.

It's the way it works here in the NC/SC area also Otis...especially with the mosquitos and gnats. It's going to help the big problem we have with the canker worms as well. Our first major front came through when everything was laying eggs. If we get another the end of Feb, I think there will be a significant difference. We are to get 5 - 7 inches starting tomorrow I believe. I'll believe it when I see it though.

Most snow we've had since the 80's...
I could jump off the roof of my house right now with zero chance of getting hurt... well, unless I landed on something buried in the snow

Yo know it's been goofy when you leave the house at 5:30am, it's 30 degrees out and you say to yourself "oh wow it's warm out today".

I can only imagine what you guys are going through out there, us east coasters aren't use to many winter days below 20, let alone days of single digits and negative wind chills. 30 felt balmy this morning.30 degrees would be t-shirt weather for me right now...Yo know it's been goofy when you leave the house at 5:30am, it's 30 degrees out and you say to yourself "oh wow it's warm out today".

Went to bed last night with the outside temp 27F. Wife is out of town, so I usually fall asleep watching tv. Left the tv on weather channel, woke at 230 and saw local temp was 41F. I chuckled a bit thinking it was a screwup.
I wake at six, take the dog out, and immediately notice there is now snow on the roof of my garage. My son's car (he's at college, car in driveway) has no snow or ice on it. Check the current temp at the time: 25F.
Just checked weather.com...the high for today was 43F, recorded at 330 am. Was 27F at 11, 43F at 330, and 25F at 600 am.
Crazy.
