I turned on the water to my detached, unheated garage last week. Woke up this morning and it was 24 degrees. I ran out in a panic and drained the pipes - fortunately before they froze. It's supposed to be 65 again Wednesday, but snow today and low 20s again tonight. This winter seems to have lasted forever.

From this morning:

The National Weather Service measured 15 inches of snow in the Grant County, Wisconsin community of Fennimore and 13 inches in neighboring Crawford County. Decorah, Iowa was dealing with 11 1/2 inches of snow.

I spent the entire day at the Minneapolis airport due to cancelled and delayed flights into Chicago thanks to snow and ice. I hate winter.

Were I at home, I would be too. It's been 70s for a while now.

No joke, and between cancellations and delays I had to hoof it to multiple gates. Fun stuff.

A few years back I had one hour to make a connection flight there, I arrived at one corner of the horse shoe and my flight out was at the other end, Yeah I was O.J. through the place

We're in a daily freeze thaw cycle here. That's better than a constant freeze!

I'm hoping that everything south of here stays free and clear of winter starting real soon. I'm hoping to make a bike run for the MotoGP in Austin. Any travel advisories from jersey south to Virginia, then west thru Tennesse would be appreciated.

Your good to go in Va, maybe rain, winter is done here in The Old Dominion

I think they have a tram across the top of the U. I did an L and then some, which still took a while.

The weather forecast for today was scattered flurries. 2:00 in the afternoon rolls around and it starts snowing, it's still snowing hard at 9:30....might stop by morning after 2-3" are on the ground. BAH HUMBUG !

It hasn't snowed here in SW Ohio since March. It's only rained twice. The first time was from May 1 to June 15 and the second time was June 17 to July 9.

ckelly78z 07-09-2015 05:44 AM

WD, ya left out a day in the middle there....I type this as it dumps another 1.5" of rain on us (1.5" on Tuesday also) and had to drive through water a foot deep at the intersection in front of work.
