Looks more like NOT driving in the blizzard of 78 ;) What do they do when cars get stuck on a major highway like that? Just wait for the snow to melt? that could take weeks or months.

I was at UNH and we didn't get much snow from it.  It was a coastal thing.  But my best friend was at BU and they were snowed in for something like 4 days.  It was a "goodie". 

I grew up in snow country (they never closed the regional school in those days) and when it's bad you stay the hell home, Kody..  Or pull off the road and get a room.

I was in my senior year of high school in Buffalo for the Blizzard of '77 and lemme tell ya that was really something. We had drifts up to the 2nd story windows. Plows were getting stuck. Couple days into it a pair of Guardsmen came to ferry my Mom to work @ Childrens Hospital. Sadly the sobs spied my CJ in the drive & took that with em too.

Yup no BS. They had enacted a total driving ban and the cops & natl guard were purloining 4x4s from "nonessential personnel". They told a rather flabbergasted me, "You're not allowed to drive it & neither is your Mom. We're authorized to commandeer it. Where are the keys?".

In retrospect I'd like to believe it helped my fellow citizen but can only envision a couple grunts beatin the snot outa it? Never did run quite right afterward ...

Always wondered why they sent two 'drivers' to pick up Mom that first time. Me thinks they ran the address against DMV records & spotted a Jeep? Hmm ...

Our first real shot of winter arrived late yesterday and overnight. It got down to zero here at the house last night, it's not supposed to last that long until a warmup on Monday. The worst part is it's been so mild up until now this is a shock. I've officially put out a BRASS MONKEY WARNING for the area!

Our first real shot of winter arrived late yesterday and overnight.

Here too [bottom middle of Canada]. Like I've said we have been having a heat wave this winter [ they closed the outdoor skating oval last week because it had melted to slush] but Wednesday it got windy and nasty and Thursday it dropped to a more normal - 27º C. ( don't know the conversion but -19ºC = 0º F). Normal is -23 overnight and -12 daytime high. We're back in the heat today [-4.3ºC as I type] but headed back down to -2? by Monday. Goofy winter.

Snow Storm -- I just got off the phone with a friend living in northern Minnesota near the Canadian border. He said that since early this morning the snow is nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is dropping and is at about 15 degrees and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in ...

A little chuckle from my Dad.

I had to send that one to my brother-in-law, Darren. My sister is going to kill me.

Very cold here today, topping out at a balmy 17 degrees.  We split and stacked the wood from a tree we took down last week yesterday (for winter 2014) knowing it was going to be wicked cold today.  We started in the morning and by the time we finished (a little after noon) the wind had picked right up and we could feel the cold front settling in.  The birds were really busy on the feeders, too. 

It was really cold when I took the dog out this morning (5:15).  I could tell because when I inhaled the moisture inside my nose froze... it has to be pretty close to zero for that to happen.  :)

Over a 100 deg. here today, to hot to work. 8)
