    I see the number is still high today, yet the performance seems better.

    So, in the link, you start with the initial photo, then riff on it. Is it just you, or others?

    I have literally never expected to experience this in south Louisiana. It really is a winter wonderland!

    I just measured it in the deepest part of the snow and it’s right at 12". Most of the yard has at least 6".

    The kids are having so much fun. Some of our neighbors are pulling their kids around in their pirogues using their 4-wheeler like a sleigh!

    8°F here - going down to -10°F tonight. About to take my dogs for a run in the woods but I gotta trim the fur in my golden retriever's paws 'cause they ice up quickly and make it painful to walk.

    I always get a kick at how southerners react to extreme cold & snow events that are quite common here.

    And it seems everyone outside of Ohio is pissed the Buckeyes won the college football national championship.

    I despise "The" Ohio State and like Notre Dame, but I'm not upset at this win.

    Notre Dame's fans have tried to drag LSU fans through the mud over Brian Kelly these past 3 years and them winning a championship before us would be a nightmare to endure.

    Besides, didn't you see, Oregon is the actual champion this year: https://athlonsports.com/college/ore...-wolfe-ratings which is why we should abolish the recognized NCAA rating systems. UCF is one of those miserable teams that claims a national championship because one of the million NCAA recognized rating systems said they were.

    You should, it is a historic snowfall. Lake Charles posted that it is the 3rd most accumulated snow on record with the other two happening in the 1800s. This truly is a once in a lifetime event.

    I've visited Canada, Chicago, Plattsburg, Denver in the winter time and have experienced snow, but I have never in my life ever experienced snowfall like this before.

    Right now it is 27 degrees with the feels like at 11 degrees. Tomorrow, the low is 18 degrees! It's nuts because the little bit of snow we've had here melted almost immediately.

    There's a huge ice dam over my bedroom-slash-office window with equally huge icicles. Holding up so far, but they build houses differently up here. I'd post a photo, but the forum will no longer let me.

    Hey, dday you're a so-called "super moderator" - tell me why I can't post photos here and please fix it if possible. I guarantee my posts will be far more entertaining.

    Yeah, I saw that, lol. The team that got trounced by the eventual champion when it really counted is actually the real champion.

    So the temperature right now is 18 degrees, but the feels like is 26. I guess it's because we don't have all that wind and snow we had yesterday, although the snow is still on the ground from yesterday.

    What's going on with the pictures? There are a couple known issues. One is that adding a picture to the quick reply simply doesn't work. I believe you have to add it from Go Advanced, though I can't say that I have tried it. Another possibility is the meagre limit on storage.

    You have more snow, and somewhat colder temperatures, than Boise. Of course, we're a desert, but we could certainly use that snow in the mountains.

    I always heard about snow blindness, but never experienced snow on the ground the day after. This stuff is so incredibly bright reflecting off the sun, I totally get how snow blindness can be a thing.

    If you are looking at the snow reflecting off the sun, snow blindness might not be the issue.

    You can make yourself a pair of Eskimo glasses. The whole point is GREATLY reducing the amount of light reaching your eyes. Far more than sunglasses will accomplish.

    Squinting also works, though it's the same principle.

    I thought for a moment that you were referring to squirting.

    That's not a principle I wish to promote.

    In my defense, I wasn't looking at the snow reflecting the sunlight. It was more of me being outside for a while, going back in, and not realizing how bright it was outside.

    Yeah. I haven't seen that in a few years, it seems, though I remember it well. You felt okay when you were out there, but it takes a long time for your eyes to adjust to the darkness of what would otherwise be a well lit room.

    I was hoping for some snow today, but the forecast has trended dry. We now have only a 30% chance of anything this evening, which means we'll get nothing. In the valley, 30% is the same as 0% because the 3 is silent.

    75 here, it's been like that pretty much since the Thursday after our historic snowfall. Feels like winter again.

    We've been getting rain/snow for days, now. That's what we need at this time of year. We build our snowpack in the winter, then it melts slowly into the summer. No snow in the valley, but almost three feet in the mountains in the last two or three days. More to come, too. I'll check the snowpack levels on Thursday or Friday, once things settle down again. Yet another storm may come through on Thursday, but it may not amount to much of anything.

    Skiing the next few evenings.

    Barely made it to average snow pack after a week of storms. A dry January was not the best.

    We'll be getting it tonight and tomorrow.

    I went up skiing yesterday, and had intended to do so tonight, but yesterday was awful. It got really warm on Wednesday, and probably rained. The rain turned to snow and everything froze, so there was ice ridges under perhaps an inch of fresh snow. There was just enough snow to hide the ice ridges, but it meant that it was terribly uneven.
