Yuck! Hope you are able to dodge the bullet on that prediction!

I'm North of you and the weathermen are confused here, too. We could

get 5 inches of snow...or maybe 10 inches of snow...or maybe less or more.

If the front stays the same, but it might move either North or South. Sigh. ;)

But, as you say, something "is coming". Shouldn't complain, haven't had

any snow yet, since a little last Fall...almost unheard of.

Snow fine, ice very bad.

Unfortunately, we are in for something similar :-( No ice, thank goodness but below freezing weather (20's and possibly teens) and a very strong possibility of sea level snow, which is not all that common for us. So far, early next week looks cold and snowy...........

Buy enough food and stay home, get your generator ready for the storm, make sure you have ethanol free gas for your generator. We will have rain by Lake Erie this weekend, high temp will be 55 F.

Here they're talking about snow and then turning to rain and back to snow beginning tonight and ending Sunday and then turning cold. Depending on at what temperature snow turns to rain we could wind up with ice. Regardless, we don't do well with any of it. And then it's the higher elevation thing and coast vs inland and further inland. So just what is higher elevation and coast vs inland.

I did my grocery shopping today and we're good for the weekend.

Chisue, your weather usually passes through my neck of the woods and I heard that as well. At least it’s over the weekend so most people can choose to stay home, that’s what we’re going to do. I’m looking forward to making a slow cooked roast and some homemade bread. Yum!

BTW I haven’t seen any updates on your health lately, how have you been feeling?

Yep same thing here is Michigan, we are getting something for sure but still do not know if it will be rain, sleet, ice or snow.

Well, it's snowing, Not much yet but at 6am it's enough to keep me home and not venture outside to go to the gym, Who knows what it'll be like when I leave to come home.

It is not snowing here or raining right now. We had a thunderstorm last night. The little town east of me where Alyssa goes to school had it's water pump or something struck by lightening and no water, so no school. There may be some water but not to keep going. She is coming over and going to practice her sewing. A fun day.

Lucky you, Sue. :)

I'll send you a PM, Lukki. Doin' OK. Hope your DH is a bit better than just that!

Meanwhile, we're looking at temps in the low 70s this weekend in the DC area. There must be a large mass of hot air close by.

There's never been a shortage of hot air in Washington DC, I suspect that's what you're referring to.

Our forecast is predicting strong weather this evening into the early morning hours. Rain, wind, hail, and possible tornadoes. But it will be fast moving so should not be a threat of flooding.

They're talking a couple of inches of rain here in the area between four of the Great Lakes with maybe a thunderstorm on Saturday and quite a lot of wind.

Haven't heard whether it's to be hot air or not, but doubt it, as temps to be plus or minus freezing.

I was about to make a comment about temp and quantity of a certain kind of air in the DC area ... but Elmer beat me to it.

Expecting a downpour, so enlarged streams and slippery banks, they're advising to keep people, especially kids, away from streams.

And you too, OJ. :) Stay safe.

Usually Chicago weather makes its way here in a few days. I don't see anything comparable in the forecast, but the weather has been crazier and crazier. Two days ago the temp when I got up was 11º F. This morning it was 56º!

60 degrees colder than yesterday...plus ice, snow, and wind!...miserable day but thankful I can stay inside .

Sounds like we may dodge the worst of it, Chisue. I hope so, we have to be wandering the college campus Sunday and Monday! Maybe I’ll bring my hand and toe warmers. Sure has been windy, though! I heard of some power outages on the east side today.

Unusually mild on Friday, rained late in the day, I think so much of overnight, some thunder this morning and not heavy but persistent rain today, and getting cooler, here north of Lake Erie.

Catheter leaked, need to do some washing, but it can wait. I'm disappointed - hoped I could line-dry while it was mild: line-drying in basement closer but somewhat inconvenient.

Do you take requests, joyfulguy? How about not making public comments about your urinary or excretory experiences. Believe me, it's not essential for anyone to know about. Please try to have a bit more personal dignity, self-respect, and respect for others.

I'm not easily offended. Not at all.

I think most people have enough sense and enough respect for others to understand that some topics and also some words (thinking of swear words that some may not like) may have settings where their mention is appropriate and others where not appropriate. For those who don't get it or don't have enough class to care, I'm happy to help them understand and avoid embarrassing themselves.

Do I swear? Sure, and did so less in front of my grandmother than in front of my mother, and less in front of my mother than with friends or work colleagues. More with males and less with females. Do I sometimes have conversations about matters that don't belong in public. Sure. Just like everyone else does. There a time and a place for everything. I get it. I'm sure you do too.

Back to the topic, do you have any ice or snow coming? I suspect not and I don't either. Best wishes to those who do.

I should take my own advice and scroll on by, but feel the need to say something.

Elmer, you often like to call out joyfulguy. Not sure why it's your job to do so, when others don't, but continually calling him out for what you deem inappropriate is sort of being a bully. No one else is calling him out - if people aren't liking what he's posting, they just scroll on by. It's disrespectful to continually correct him - publicly, and is probably embarrassing for him. Suggesting he develop more personal dignity, self respect, and respect for others - we don't know him so we don't his level of personal dignity and self respect, and respect for others - it's typically you who calls him out, so I presume others aren't feeling disrespected. And again, if anyone is, they're just scrolling by.

Your latest comments to him I think are the harshest I've read. It's the internet. Just scroll on by. Not necessary to dictate how he should behave. No one else seems to care except you.

Your turn. I'm confident my comments will generate a lecturing response to me. I should have privately messaged you rather than posting publicly, but don't have messages enabled and don't want to turn on that feature.

I comment about comments, not about people. I don't want to read on a forum of general topics about the details of someone's medical problems with urinating or defecating or other things anyone may say that seems misplaced or inappropriate. Heck, this thread was about weather!

I'll speak up in such circumstances. I'm not the sheriff but after all, anything anyone says is their personal opinion, it goes without saying.

If I've spoken up about this person before, then maybe he doesn't get it or he does it for some other reason. To get attention. Or he's unhappy. Or ? The "why" doesn't matter to me.

You're as entitled to express an opinion as I am. I've no problem with anything you wrote, it was respectful and polite. His post was disrespectful to anyone who would happen upon it.

I don't agree with you, as you didn't agree with me. I'm okay, you're okay!

Everyone else wouldn't have given it a second thought if Elmer hadn’t put more specific words to it. Twice. Thanks, Elmer.

Thanks Elmer. I hesitated writing a post directed to you about your comments, as I never have, as I typically agree with you. I'm glad you received what I wrote as being respectful and polite as that is what I was attempting to be when I wrote it.
