Storm Grayson!

[imyourgirl]

As requested I'll post here too.

Snow's coming down thick now, hard to say how much we have as it's quite windy already.

This is my current view. (Not very exciting.)

[metalmum15]

Snow? ! Where are you?

[Whatthefoxgoingon]

Welcome to the weather section, where we try to make much hoo haa about a slightly stiff breeze

[TJODrinky]

Are you in the US? We had record snowfall yesterday - here's the view from my kitchen this morning

[imyourgirl]

Where are @TJODrinky ?

I'm in coastal Maine so we're getting the worst of this 'bomb cyclone' or whatever they're calling it now.

[Maudlinmaud]

Following. I love the weather threads.

[imyourgirl]

We're set to get another 15-20 inches on top of this which we already had.

[TJODrinky]

Coastal SC - we are totally unprepared for snow! No work for me today because the bridges are still closed afaik. All this lovely family time!

[imyourgirl]

We've been pretty much inside for two weeks due to -20 temps so I'm bloody over family time.

[metalmum15]

Ah, should have guessed you're in the US OP!

TJO that looks beautiful! Although I know in reality I would hate it, I did nothing but moan when we had a few inches of snow recently. The UK might be permanently grey and windy but I can cope with it better.

[TJODrinky]

That sounds rough @imyourgirl - I've lived in the south so long, it has ruined me for cold weather. I don't even have an ice scraper for my car. School is out again tomorrow . This was yesterday

[imyourgirl]

I bet the alligators are in shock!

[Laska5772]

I think we've had snow once in about 10 years and that only lasted about a day .. Id actually really like some snow and to be snowed in for a while (although of course I do sympathise with all you facing that storm right now )

[TJODrinky]

I've drunk an extraordinary amount of tea in the last two days, and my kitchen is now immaculate - bad weather turns me into a domestic goddess it seems - I do the same when there's a hurricane coming

[Maudlinmaud]

Being dense. Where is SC? South carolina?

[TJODrinky]

Yes, Maud

[imyourgirl]

So route 1 is underwater....

[Maudlinmaud]

Thanks TJ. What the hell are those gators going to do? I mean I don't like the creatures but still.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Yay, thanks for bringing your thread over here :) that's rather a lot of water!
I hadn't realised that non tropical storms were named in the States, who names them?

[imyourgirl]

I didn't know that either! World Meteorological Organization names them.

[imyourgirl]

That water will be ice by midnight. It's our main route.

[JillJ72]

Fingers crossed you have the heating sources to while away the time whilst this plays out. Glad to read your chickens are snuggled in; I hope they're ok too. Hope this passes with minimal upheaval for you all.

Wow! What awful weather. I cannot imagine the amount of snow and how cold it must be. Hope you stay safe and can keep warm.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

It is a truly remarkable storm. Rather Day after Tomorrow.

[imyourgirl]

It's getting windier and the snow seems to be mixed with ice with is bad news. I think our new chimney just blew off.
