Let it SNOW!?

[cl15876]

Doing it in snow isn't too awfully bad. Ice is NO-GO.

I'll be the first to jump all over that.

Snow is fun Maybe I'll get the opportunity some day Dreams are everything!!!! ;) , ICE and freezing rain (aka black ice), I agree!!!!!

[cl15876]

Made it to New Jersey. Our trip to Mass is clearly cancelled for tomorrow. The 10-20 inches expected here will do that.

Glad you are safe!!!! Be safe Dave as I know you will!!!!

Hoping everyone we haven't heard from made it to their destinations safely!

Bill got home at around 8, we're stocked up on milk, bread and TP, I got my new computer runnin' and nowheres to go. Still nothing coming down yet, but it smells like snow and supposed to get around 8" tonight and tomorrow. The Dudes are gonna have FUN in their new snowboots!!!!

Both can only lead to one thing: Blue Balls.

It snowed here a couple inches last night. Didn't stick to the roadways. It's barely cold enough for snow really hovering around 33-34F.

Looks like they are calling for rain most of today for you folks in the triangle, for us beach folks that's all it has been and will be. However, my stepsons are driving to Asheville tomorrow on their first long solo drive, and they are calling for Asheville to have over a foot by the end of today, with more predicted later in the week. I'm not thrilled about the prospect of their trip. They will have 4 wheel drive, but have no snow driving experience.

Safe travels to your stepsons if they go. Either they'll have a ton of experience soon, or, they will decide that discretion is the better part of valor and they won't go. I'm sure the highway patrol is asking/warning people to stay off the roads in the western half of the State. I would strongly advise that they don't go, too.

One inch so far here in Mt. Laurel NJ, outside Philly. At least 10 more coming and maybe 20.

Katie enjoyed watching it when she got up. The dogs loved running around in it. I can't wait to get out there.

1-2 inches so far here

In the WS area we got plenty of snow yesterday. More fell on the western side of the region than elsewhere. Looks like 6-8" before the drifts from high winds. A light freezing drizzle is predicted for today by some while other meteorologists say we'll see light snow falling beginning around noon. I'd rather have the light snow since it's not apt to cause any power outages.

The highs may approach 40 with lots of clouds then dip again tonight into the twenties...... same pattern of temperatures throughout the week with the possibility of some more frozen precipitation around Christmas Eve.

Who was that who asked for the snow? Is this enough?

Last night, Cowboy Devil and I, EarlJam, were traveling west on I-40 as the snow started coming down pretty hard.

There was quite a bit of traffic on the highway, going at about 25-30 MPH. With traffic all around us, including a transfer truck a bit behind us, our Durango started to fishtail. Cowboy Devil, who was driving, said, "Here we go," and time seemed to stand still.

We went sideways as headlights from other cars were going by us, miraculously missing us. When all traffic had cleared, suddenly we found ourselves in a slide headed directly for the guardrail at a pretty high rate of speed. I braced for the crunch.

While all of this was happening, I was watching with keen detail Cowboy Devil operate the steering wheel and pedals. As I wrote, time seemed to stand still. I must say, to his credit, Cowboy Devil knew exactly how to handle the situation and showed tremendous skill in keeping the car from crashing. In short, Cowboy Devil is a snow driving bad ass and I propose that his new name be "SNOWDRIVER!"

The combination of divine intervention, luck (whatever you wish to call it) and Cowboy' Devil's kick-arse driving skills prevented an almost certain, and potentially very serious, wreck from happening.

Just wanted to share and give much deserved props, kudos, vibes, etc. to Cowboy Devil on this board.

Now................GO DUKE!

CBD operates a mean grill, too! Glad both of y'all are safe.

Glad to hear this turned out OK. I was concerned about what you all would encounter on I-40 as you headed west.

If you're staying the whole week, be prepared about Wednesday or Thursday for another possible episode of winter weather..... are you still wishing for snow?

Kids and snow...if you could bottle the best time ever, that's where you would get it from.

Agreed. This is an absolutely wonderful image! Snow, Christmas, kids. The perfect combination.
