We're getting about 6 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow.

Plus wind.

That means shoveling snow drifts from my front door in the morning.

Yuck.

1. Good luck. I think the worst of it is north from me. Supposed to change to rain overnight.

2. You're getting what came through here a couple nights ago.

Big wind and a few inches of snow. The drifts are a lot of work to move....especially on a week day when you’ve got to clear it before heading out to work. Sorry, friend. I feel you. The end of January is when it starts to get old...and we’ve got months to go yet, don’t we? Ugh.

3. You'll be getting the system we're already experiencing.

Have fun. http://www.startribune.com/major-snowstorm-moving-into-minnesota-set-to-foul-up-evening-commute/567072372/

4. Batten down. Stay safe and warm Wisconsin Du-ers.

Here in the Denver/Boulder area, it's strong gusty winds all night.

5. It doesn't look good here in New York, either.

Plus, it's heading towards zero degrees and it's windy here too.

6. Same here in Boston.

It's freezing and we are getting our first big snow of the year tomorrow!

Stay safe and warm Rhiannon!

7. Same to you, my friend!

It said 3 degrees when I got home tonight, I'm afraid to look now. And the wind makes it even worse! We had some snow yesterday, but it was mainly blowing all over, this weekend we may be snowed in. A friend of mine reminded me of an upcoming protest, but I've been sick since November so between the snow, the temperature and the wind, I'm planning on staying in. I'm not a fan of winter!

8. But think of how magical it will be when you wake up and look out the window

at the absolutely pristine white silence.

Plus it's so funny to see the reaction of cats to this suddenly white cold world. Mine will run from the back window to the front window, because surely the "Front World" will be back to normal.


In 2 days, the snow will be dirty and spotty... but for a moment, it's a lovely sight.

10. Just posted a picture in my Twitter of that "lovely pristine snow."

Dug out my front door, but it's still snowing!

11. I don't have to shovel it, so...

I just snuggle up with a good book and watch the flakes come down. Beautiful.

9. Probably not the same system,

but I got 6 to 8 inches of snow yesterday in Santa Fe. Hooray! Okay, so the city shut down by 4pm on Thursday and more or less remained shut down Friday, but that was overkill. By 2pm on Friday the sun was out and the snow was melting happily.

Small amount of advice, from bitter lesson learned in Golden, CO in 1987: When it starts snowing, shovel your sidewalk and driveway with about every three inches of snow. Get ahead of it. Shortly after we moved to Golden in November, 1987, we got three feet, yes three feet of snow, and stupidly waited until it stopped snowing to begin shoveling. Never again.

Most of the time here our snow is so light and dry that I can sweep it off my driveway and sidewalk. Yesterday I actually used my shovel.

12. I remember when we used to have snow.

Had it a lot when I was a kid, I seem to recall. Now January means highs in the low 40s and rain.

Enjoy it while it lasts

13. Finally winter in Chicago. Until now it's been very mild. Tomorrow

they are saying wind chill -20
