Yeah, I'm tired of the cold. About a week from now we'll be in the 60s...I'll be much better then.
It was in the 60s here on Sunday... and then in the 20s today.

edit.. here is McLean.. inside the beltway NW of downtown)

i am ready for spring! but as long as spring isn't here yet--- i would prefer 20 inches of snow to just cold and dreary.

Did the DMV get any snow yesterday/today? Was reading they were calling for a bunch last week, then I guess it dwindled as the days got closer (as it always did back when I lived there) "Were gonna get 3-5 inches".. Well, it rained anyway. :lol:

It has been a very cold winter. Right now, it's a balmy 15 degrees. Hopefully, it'll kill some of these invasive bugs like Lantern Flies and Stinkbugs, along with mosquitos

Winter Storm Lola To Bring Threat Of Blizzard Conditions, Strong Winds To Central Plains This Week

The same system that is set to cause a severe weather threat across the Deep South this week is also expected to cause a significant winter weather threat from the Rockies to the Upper Midwest.

The system has been named Winter Storm Lola by The Weather Channel.

Winter Storm Lola is causing snow across high elevations in the West on Sunday, including parts of the Sierras and Rocky Mountains.

Winter weather alerts have been issued by the National Weather Service in high elevations of California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado, and a winter storm watch has also been issued across portions of the Central Plains.

Sunday - Monday: Heavy snow is going to impact high elevations of the Sierras and Rockies through Monday, and some of the peaks could get up to 15 inches of snow.

Winds could also gust up to 50 mph, causing potentially reduced visibility and hazardous travel conditions in mountain passes.

Monday night - Tuesday: Snow spreads eastward on Monday night into the Central Plains, and the northern edge of the system could cause wintry mix and freezing rain across parts of the Great Lakes.

Perhaps this thread could be remade into just the Weather Thread, rather than differentiating between winter and other seasons.

Fierce Storms Kill at Least 18 as Tornadoes Batter the South and Midwest

The storms that killed at least 18 people across Arkansas, Mississippi and Missouri on Friday and Saturday continued to pummel a vast section of the South, leveling homes, taking down power lines and turning communities into debris fields.

Before the intense and long-lasting tornadoes arrived, forecasters said that their level of threat was typically experienced only once or twice in a lifetime.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported 12 fatalities in the state as of Saturday afternoon.

In Arkansas, three people were killed in Independence County, and 32 others were injured across the state, according to the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management.

Three people died in Southern Mississippi, about 80 miles south of Jackson, Jordan Hill, the police chief in Tylertown, Miss., said in a statement to television station WWL. One of those killed was a juvenile, Chief Hill said.
