    We're suffering through that here, had off and on rain and now a decent amount of snow. The lady and I are pretty proud of ourselves for gifting each other really good insulated winter boots for Christmas!

    Got a dram or three of some nice scotch waiting for me after shovelling.

    We're in the same boat.
    Just got rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow.
    Not that deep, only about 4 in. total, but it's like dealing with wet cement.

    We are at our cottage in eastern Ontario. Freezing rain from Sunday evening through all day Monday and then ice pellets.

    It warmed up over night and we now have rain and wet snow. Not much accumulation since the snow is melting as it lands. Ice falling off the trees and the roof is freaking out the dogs and I keep looking to see if any has hit the car.

    There were power outages all around us, but we managed not to get hit - had extra water, batteries and the wood stove going just in case.

    The joys of an eastern Ontario winter.

    Inch of snow last night. Back in the 40s for the next three days.
    I AM NOT complaining

    We are having a light rain off and on, it's supposed to get to 50 degF today and close to that tomorrow so we are having a heat wave.

    The record cold for the Walla Walla Valley is on December 30th 1968 at -28 below zero F.

    While I hate the cold, our economy is agriculturally driven and the farmers need more rain AND snow.
