Light dusting of snow on the ground in the northern parts of the Lehigh Valley this afternoon. Cold, windy, real-feels of 25º for the afternoons this weekend.
I guess I'll be watching the Army vs Navy game tomorrow.
Go Army!
The weather where you are?
Too damn cold to have the door up. I'm a officially a *****!

Snowned in Seattle last night for a few hours
Snowed up and down the Puget Sound !
First time this Winter had snow stuck to the pavement. Although the City sanded and salted the streets yesterday A.M. most of the salt had been blown to the side of the street before the evening snow so the fish will get salted instead of melting the snow.
They did a good job clearing the freeway and the main artery roadways. Getting out of the driveway and the side street this morning required 4x4 motion.
Although, we enjoyed the streets being less crowded as those probably called in sick or simply delayed their schedule by a few hours.
Nothing like this one year which dumped one foot of snow in one hour which basically paralyzed the City with unprepared motorists got stuck on the hilly streets we have.
Snowing in the mountain range East of where you live ?
Cool for here 72 with morning showers. Should return to mid 80's all next week in South Florida.
We got snow coming in Monday...I hate winter here. Wife leaves for Los Angeles Monday morning for the week. Lucky...
Lived in New England for 47 years and you just endure the winters. Going to be a high of 80 degrees today here in Florida where we've lived for the last 16 years. Florida summers are similar to New England winters only in reverse. The difference being you don't need to scrape the humidity off your windshield here in the summer.
Was in the Godiva Chocolate store in the International Mall in Tampa yesterday doing some Christmas shopping. Was wearing my Patriots baseball hat and the young lady waiting on us complimented my hat. Long story short she was from Haverhill MA. where we lived for 23 years. She now lives here in Florida and doesn't miss the New England winters as well.
Unless you ski, skate or ice fish it's pretty much indoor activities for a few months. With the exception of Cape Cod where golf goes on as long as there's no snow.
Snowing like a mofo right now in NE Wisconsin....about 1/2 foot already, supposed to keep on .... Should be an interesting game at Lambeau this afternoon.... thankfully it's the light and fluffy stuff.
Release yes, but not as if Seattle is going to be unprepared....they know inclement weather too.....I give them the edge in this game, especially with Russell being healthy...he is lethal from out of the pocket, throwing and running....it will be interesting to see how Capers approaches the game, whether or not he brings pressure via the blitz and how he game plans for Graham.
ode We have Winter here but not like at the Lambeau Field Wisconsin. All week next week we'll have high in the 35° F to over night low in the mid 20's. Mostly freezing rain Snow in the mountains and pass.
Come to think about it, it would feel colder with the freezing rain than fluffy snow. I had stopped playing golf in the freezing rain about a year ago. Too hard on aging body it took out the fun......
We used to play in the frozen tundra if the golf course is open.
Right now it's around 35*, but snowed yesterday.....we sent it on up to ode though, so not much. About 1-2". More on the way and temps going under 0 this week(at night). Hopefully, we'll be able to send it on up there to WI also!!
Got about 6" on the ground with about another 3" expected. Sucks
Yes, it will be cold this week, a few the days in the single digits for a high....ugh.

Two winters ago my daughter was considering transferring to either Northeastern or Boston University. Now understand - I value a quality education, and I know the schools up there are terrific. But at the same time, they're also much more expensive, especially considering there would be no scholarship offerings like she enjoys down at UGA. But... if that's where she felt she needed to be - obviously the wife and I would make necessary sacrifices to see it through.
We went up there over a 4-day break she had in February. She flew into Philly, we picked her up, came home and spent the night, then the next morning we drove up to Boston. It was miserably cold... there wasn't much snow on the ground but still it wasn't like you wanted to spend any amount of time outside if you could avoid it.
Compared to Athens, GA - it may as well have been Siberia. On the way home she said, "beautiful city, but there's no way I'm cut out to deal with that weather. I saw what I needed to see - I think I'll be happier in Athens."
To say that I was elated to hear her say that would be an understatement. I don't like it that she's 13 hours away, but at the same time I know she enjoys the warmer weather, not to mention that she enjoys having her car with her and traveling when she gets the chance. Just from the standpoint of her not being forced to drive in serious winter weather alone is a huge burden off of my shoulders, not to mention the $40k more per year in tuition that I would've had to assume.
