What the *&%(*& is up with this weather???

What a week of weather! Two major snowstorms with another on the way, a late week deep freeze, and no end in sight (long range forecasts show more goodies late next week). I can only say I'm VERY glad I bought that 4WD Dakota last Saturday! A summary of the week of Jan 16-22, 2005:
  • Sunday, Jan 16:  nearly 40CM of snow (16") and 90km/hr wind
  • Wednesday, Jan 19: 21CM (8") of snow and 70km/hr wind
  • Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Jan 20-22: temperatures in the -20 to -25 range with windchills into the -40's
  • Now, our forecast for tomorrow: 25-35 cm, 100km/hr wind, and more snow on Monday.

We've been having crazy weather all year too.  Last week 8" - 12" snow, then a week of arctic temps. (-35 to -45 ), then, yesterday, it warms up and what do you know, a blizzard.  Blowing snow everywhere, roads closed because they are impassible.

Going back a while, on new years eve we had a two feet of snow, and then a foot the week after that. 

However it is suppost to hit -6 Tomorow :)

Got my T Bird stuck (almost) in the middle of my plowed street!  The Michelin X-one tires that are on it, they go good in dry, rain & ice, but not snow!  I had to use my company van (AWD Safari) to drag it back into my driveway!  And in August, we'll be complaining about the heat!

It is unusually cold here in Boston as well, with snow right now.  We are expecting 8-12".  I hate it when it is too cold to even venture outside.  I much prefer summertime.
