I live in near the ocean and it does affect the weather a lot. We getting snow/rain on Thursday! CRAP! This going to made a mess with all the snow me already have. There is no place to safely walk my dog. The city does not clean of their sidewalks but they'll give homeowners a ticket for not cleaning of their sidewalks!
 
Saw this in the morning, got almost half an inch of snow on my car:

When the Lake Michigan residents get snow, we usually end up getting more than our fair share, cause the lake effects snow more here than anywhere else in the city, or any of the suburban towns west and south of here, and it's odd, cause when it's wintertime here, the colder temps are warmer, and when it's summertime, the warmer temps are cooler. :dunno: how that works.
 
We had a long flurry, but too warm to stick. At home, I think it stayed as rain. Just have to worry about ice for now.
 
No snow here, but 2-4 inches of snow in North Alabama.
 
MORE!!!! MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! MORRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!! :mad2:

I'm skiing this saturday at upstate NY and in couple weeks at Vermont again

In about 2 months, the Midwest USA will go from worrying about ice/sleet/snow and the cold temps to worrying about tornadoes.

Yes, this has been a very rough winter for millions of us.

I hate to correct you, but IL has had tornadoes strike in February before. Harrisburg, IL got hit by one a couple years back. Then there was the Washington, IL tornado last November.

This is the Washington, IL tornado on 11/17/2013:

Injuries reported after tornado hits Washington, Illinois

This is the Harrisburg, IL tornado 2 years ago February:

IL is not a stranger to wintertime tornadoes. We've had them strike in December and January, as well. We pretty much get 'em year around IF the conditions are ideal.

I wish I could have a generator but I live in a condo which I am not crazy about. I am sorry I left California and my little saltbox house with a wood stove.
