Snow here wouldn't be bad. Right now it's raining and below freezing. We're always right on the edge of getting snow so it just rains when it's right at freezing or below and then everything ices over. You can't drive over a bridge, the trees ice up and break, and the power lines ice up and come down as well. Fun stuff.

Freezing rain is the worst. Especially when your car was parked outside and is encased in a inch-thick shell of ice.

If it were 2 degrees colder there would be a decent storm for us tomorrow. As it stands it's likely to be a mixed mess where we risk the lives of delivery drivers instead.

Fuck this:CBC News - Local Weather - Edmonton, Alberta

Actual overnight temperature is -31C or -24F. With windchill it's around -40C or -40F. Kind of hurts to breathe outside right now. On the plus side, it's too cold to snow!
You could always move south to balmy Montana. This is my thermometer this morning.

Crazy shit. Don't want to leave the house but I have multiple wells that are frozen up and have to be defrosted.

Good times.

My car battery was frozen yesterday. Literally. After I managed to start the thing, the tires were rumbling till half way to work because the flat part of the tires refused to take a normal shape until I drove at least a mile.

The ground is too warm in my area so the snow is sticking everywhere but the roads and they will chill just in time for the changeover to sleet and freezing rain. Oh joy.

Going from snowy, sleety, icy mess on Sunday to rainy Monday to now 3-5 inches prediction on Tuesday. WTF mother nature.

SNOWMAGEDDON!

They sent everyone home, I'm "essential personnel" so me and one other guy have to stay here. Oh well.

The U.S. government are such a bunch of pussies. A little snow falls and Washington D.C. comes to a screeching halt. So fucking ridiculous.

I know you folks that deal with real weather simply laugh at us Californians when we complain about weather. But I had to get gas this morning and it was 25 degrees, and I thought I was going to die. Not sure how you guys deal with weather lower than that essentially every year. I am such a pussy

Spun out on my way to work. I live on a giant hill basically and they didn't pave the roads... LUCKILY I somehow didn't hit a god damn thing while going down the hill fucking sideways. Just got to work... time to do nothing.

Dude, seriously. I lived in Maryland from ages 2-18, and Illinois/Kentucky from 19-28. So I'm definitely used to shitty cold weather. But I've been in SoCal now for about a year and a half. It was 17 motherfucking degrees this morning. I don't even know how to cope anymore. I can't wait to transfer down to San Diego in another 18ish months and not have to deal with anything below 40 ever again.

It's definitely funny watching the news around here though (I get all the LA channels). The first video, I will say that it flooded quite a bit with all that rain. But it was definitely overblown.

I concur. Snow is annoying but having to punch your door repeatedly when your business is locked up and you are stuck in a parking lot trying to break enough ice to get your door open so you can even start thawing it out SUCKS.

This is the beautiful tree in my backyard after the bullshit of Thursday night. It's a shitty picture and hard to tell but the tree split perfectly three ways with 1/3 on the back fence, 1/3 on the driveway fence, and 1/3 in the yard. Luckily it didn't smash the new fence but it did block the alley and the driveway which left me stuck in my house most of the weekend. I fucking hate being stuck inside (I'd still take an inch of ice over that -30 bullshit).

Dumbest government closure ever. When I rose from the depths of my office to see the outside after 8 hours of the most boring shift ever I was greeted by maybe an inch of snow.
