Good Afternoon, Porch Peeps!
@LaDolceVita...Re: clearing the car...what Froze said. 
Plus, if I had wanted to go anywhere yesterday it's a law that our cars be clear of snow for exactly the reason Froze mentioned...an ice slide coming from the car/truck in front of you is so dangerous!
Waiting for the snow here, too. They say around 4 PM it will start. My street is so clear of cars it's almost funny. All the worker bees must be out shopping.
A friend said the forecast for here is not as bad as it was, so I'm hoping she's right.
Keeping fingers crossed. Might make extra coffee later today for tomorrow. Even if I have to drink it cold, it's better than none at all. 
Again...stay safe! N.
Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch! We are looking at a high of 33* and cloudy today with similar weather this week. I almost feel sorry for those that ere hit by the latest snow storm. I'm sure there wll be major storms we will have have here and you all will not see a single snow flake! Hoping everyone has quite week ahead.
"Good morning, Front Porchers!"
"And yes, this is me smiling!" It's super cold here -- 28 degrees with an expected high of 31. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! Anyway, despite the cold, no snow is expected. Fingers and toes crossed. I hope at this writing, you all are doing okay. Enjoy today! And I'll keep smilimg!

@n566192l...Well, how'd you like the snow you must have gotten last night?
We got a little...enough for me to not go to the grocery store this morning. Too risky with my legs, back, and balance. I did go out later to clean off the car, but I had my ice grippers on. Know I should have ordered that spike for my cane before this!
Saw some deer prints in the snow on my driveway.
Hope everyone stays safe and warm.
Good Friday morning to everyone on the Front Porch! We are expecting temps that are above average for a while here. Not much moisture here also. Yes I said moisture as we had about an inch of rair during our all day rain. They are forecasting heavy snowfall for the St Louis area with nothing North of the Illinois border. We have no snow cover as the rain melted it.
@k836981m Welcome to the Front Porch!
I became a member of this group in January of 2009 when I retired. I live in Madison, Wisconsin and became a fan of Lighthouses about 18 years ago. Wisconsin has a lot of Lighthouses on Lake Michigan and Green Bay and I have visited about 3/4 of them. I have posted articles about them here. In the Fall of 2009 after my wife Mary and I were both retired we took a 2 week trip along the Pacific coast visiting relatives and Lighthouses.
Over the years I have been active in trying to get Congress to provide funding Lighthouse repairs. In this economy that has been minimal but we need to do what we can to preserve our history. Many private groups have funded and have done repairs to local Lighthouses.
I have a few pictures I will post of lights I have visited.

@LaDolceVita . I will not forget that wind event for sure. I heard from my friend later that the cashier in the diner had to come out to help my friend into her car because she was getting slammed up against the car that was parked next to hers! I had wanted to turn around to see if she had gotten safely in her car, but it was impossible! I had my cane, but it was not any help.
It had to be a freak thing. Whew! never have liked wind, andnow I really hate it!

For once up at crack of dawn, and miss roll call so, afternoon it is.
25* and snowing with wind it’s a lovely 13*, Chelli’s not enjoying the day.
Forgot the picture from last 2 storms yesterday, today you see what fell.
And the storm for the weekend has been canceled instead we’ll merely get cold, single digit temp’s and high winds.
Makes life worth living.
Time to shovel out the oil fill, which is 8 feet in and 3 feet down from the snow plow guys, who were kind enough to plow town out.
Froze
@Frozenoem...I swear, Froze, you live in your own little "weather world" up there! GEEZE!
I'm already annoyed that we may get an inch from this southern storm coming by Saturday into Sunday. Hoping it will pass waaay to the south of Philly. N.
To all Our Front Porchers,
Be well and be blessed. Thanking God for breath this morning and seventy days til Spring!

Temp 50. Cloudy with peek-a-boo sun. Rain expected later. Snow after that. What a rollercoaster of weather today. Stay warm and enjoy the day Front Porchers! Only 71 days til Spring!
