But it had all receded by the time I had to leave for court this morning.

Happy to hear you all were safe this time.

Left lanes of I-40 were under water for this morning's commute ... so traffic on the entrance ramps backed up onto 54 for over a mile ....

Winter has come early to Texas. Low this morning was 22F (-5.5 C). . .
I miss summer!

Dry and cold today ... heavy rains returning tonight into tomorrow ... oh joy -- more road flooding expected.

@astrangerhere - stay safe and dry

Calling for 5-7 inches of snow or more tonight. This means it's a mad house out as everyone scrambles to buy bread, milk and eggs. Here in St Louis we call it french toast weather. lol

We don't eat eggs since I discovered last Christmas I'm intolerant, same with milk so that just leaves the bread.
Hopefully hubby will be home before the snow storm hits.

The weather forecast has reduced (slightly) the amount of snow expected, but increased the ice and sleet. It should reach us by noon.

poohbear_nc · 11-15-2018, 08:24 AM

Rain pouring down ... roads already ponding water .... fun commute in to work ... NOT

Just a couple of inches of snow today, but there's a lot of cars just sitting in the road unable to move. My street has very steep hills in each direction. I called the police and they said that there's gridlock everywhere and they are busy dealing with accidents now. Hubby takes the train to Philly and he's going to be there a couple of hours. Hopefully he will be able to get home by then.

My sister-in-law is just left of Harrisburg, PA ... which is about the same latitude as Philly. She wrote (an hour ago) that they'd had 7 inches of snow since 9a.m. A normally ten minute drive home, took her an hour and a half.

So Philly may have issues too, though maybe a train can cope with them.

Purple Lady · 11-15-2018, 05:28 PM

A train can cope with them, but he doesn't live at the train station! 😉

He said he would walk home if it isn't cleared up by then. I did just hear what sounded like the cops just a few minutes ago.

First, the weather forecast was for three to five inches of snow. Last night they downgraded it to one to three inches of snow. When I went out at 4:30 we had seven inches of snow. Our dead end hadn't been plowed, which isn't that unusual, but the town road we intersect with hadn't been plowed, either. Most other roads were disasters with deep snow, slush, accidents, and cars that had skidded into ditches.

My usual 15 minute ride turned into an hour and fifteen minutes. Plus the ride back. White knuckles all the way.

I'll have to make the same trip later tonight. Usually I leave at 9:00, but tonight I think I'll leave at 8:00.

The roads should actually be better. The plows are out, the temps are rising (slightly) and the snow has changed to sleet on its way to rain.

Misty all day, with light drizzle.

DiapDealer · 11-16-2018, 08:15 AM

Yesterday morning it was cold and raining. Then it warmed up a couple of degrees and started snowing.

issybird · 11-16-2018, 08:32 AM

It's a stinking winter wonderland out there and it's only the middle of November!

poohbear_nc · 11-16-2018, 10:19 AM

Bright, sunny, gusty, and cold ... rains finally stopped ... Thanksgiving predicted to be dry and in the 50's/low 60's F

cromag · 11-16-2018, 07:12 PM

We still have several inches of very wet, heavy snow out there. And much of the snow is covered by autumn leaves that fell in this morning's wind. The roads are fair, but the snow that melted in today's afternoon sun will be ice tonight. I wouldn't go out unless I had to.

Unfortunately, I have to.
