What's the temperature where you are???

We're hovering at about 18F at the moment, but temps are expected to go down to single digits for the night. The weatherman says we got almost five inches, but there was that much sitting on top of my porch railing, so I know we got more! The snow's been a fine, misty powder all day and so dense the coop was blurry from the house. It's settled into a nasty mix of fine snow and sleet for now. It's supposed to stop shortly, but I'll believe it when I see it. It still looks like it means business!
Schools are called for tomorrow with a "promise" to let us now each afternoon about the next day. To be honest, I don't expect them to open at all this week. Even if they do, no parent in their right mind will let a kid stand at a bus stop in these temps (most highs below 20F,) especially when buses are likely to be delayed. Looks like I'll have the week off without pay. Hip, Hip, Hooray ... NOT!

Did school get cancelled? Are they back in school tomorrow?

Holy Dinah! Mother Nature has gone off the rails! That’s just ridiculous, it’s the same here, and now the Great Lakes have started freezing over their warming effect is diminished, that arctic air just flows straight south.

I am exhausted dealing with snow and cold.

I don't know how to share a bookmark, so I did a cut-n-paste from a "Random Funnies" thread. THIS is what the weather feels like!

We had no school today and tomorrow is cancelled now, too. I don't expect Wednesday to happen, either. People around here aren't equipped for these temps. Many kids don't have proper shoes and coats for a regular winter - and this far exceeds our norms. There's been talk of going virtual, like we did during Covid, but it doesn't look like that's been implemented, yet, so not everyone has the means. This is crazy!
