What meteorological phenomenon (phenomena) affects you this day ? - Page 485

I just got off the phone with a friend of mind who's trying to map out a route to get her mother to dialysis. THIS is the kind of situation that is frustrating. Who cares if we can't get out to buy a hamburger, but dialysis is critical. The center is only doing the dialysis in two hour shifts because they have so many people to catch up on. Anyway, using traffic cams online I think we've got a pretty clear route figured if she can get through the neighborhoods. Fingers crossed.

Very Critical ... Very frustrating ... Even worse when it prevents the first offer of a transplant in two years, which is what our Christmas Snow caused

Oh, wow. That's when it becomes so much more than just an inconvenience.

Allegedly will be in the 60's F this weekend!

All you Aussies - be safe!

There could be ICY SPOTS!!!!!

Impossible .... So the opportunity was missed which is what sucks so badly.

Mid-20's F here, snow falling at about an inch an hour since around midnight. We have about 13+ fresh inches and the snow's supposed to continue for another 4 hours. Weather service is saying not to drive if possible.

I have some family in Atlanta who can't leave their house because the snow completely iced over. It's too bad, University classes were supposed to start today and he was looking forward to getting back to torturing his undergrads.

Good luck to all the rest of you folks who are stuck because of snow or flooding. Keep safe.

Look familiar?

We are getting rain here today - which is good because it isn't getting over to Queensland!
A lot of sad stories to come out of this, loss of lives, farms ruined, businesses ruined.
And on a personal level, gardens and precious possessions get washed away. I could stand losing my fridge or TV, but I would feel devastated losing my old book collection or my plant collection, both built up over many years.
