Storm Grayson!

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.)

Snow? ! Where are you?

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

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

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.

Following. I love the weather threads.

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

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!

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

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.

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

I bet the alligators are in shock!

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 )

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

Being dense. Where is SC? South carolina?

Yes, Maud

So route 1 is underwater....

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

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.
