It will be cold and probably snowing in the morning on my ride to PVD vs. sunny and 80 after I land at PBI and drive to Miami to see my in-laws in the afternoon. (Very long day ahead.)

Cloudy and 76°F right now with the high forecasted to be 77. Going to be in the 70s and 80s for the next several days. Will be 61/60 for my (almost) nightly walk.

Heavy Flurries on/off all day = 3" of new snow, enough for my first snowshoes trek of the season.

Never been snow-trekking before. Sounds like fun, JJ. You should invite me up. Besides, then I’ll get to meet my favorite online kitty.

Steady eddie over here on Sunday, clear skies with a weak wind and about 13C just right for a sprightly walk.

We were supposed to get between zilch and a few flurries of snow overnight, with the bulk of last night's snow falling south of NYC and down by Philadelphia. TL;dr the light snow overnight piled up to 4 inches, and is also clinging to the trees because we had no wind. There's still some lingering flakes falling, and the town's snow plow just went past clearing our street.....

About 4 hour delay at PVD today for what does not seem like anything close to a major show storm. But in the air and heading back to sunny FL now.

We got about 4 or 5 inches of snow yesterday. It stopped about 1:00 pm. As soon as it stopped, I went out and cleared off the car as the temps were to plummet. Imagine my surprise when I attempted to leave for work this morning. I guess it got windy yesterday, so snow blew from the trees. My sidewalk, driveway and car were coated with snow, now frozen. You know where the majority of the ice was on my car? Between the hood and the windshield, on top of my wipers. Frozen freakin solid.

Temp was in the low teens, so running the car and defroster wasn't cutting in. I left the car home. I'll try again when I get home but I have a feeling I'm not driving anywhere until Wednesday when the temps rise. I could kick myself for not raising the wipers. I used to do it all the time when you could just grab them and pull them up. Oh well.

Some people recommend not doing that, especially if there is a chance that the wind, a person, or a stray animal might bump the ice-covered arm and cause it to spring down and shatter the windshield.

I used to use the wiper service mode to park the blades all the way up on my Bavarian Golf Cart in the winter. The instructions may vary depending on car model, but here's one example:

Rain predicted for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day here in my neck of the woods (might be some Tuesday night as well). Supposed to be around 2 1/2 inches. Happy to have it. We don’t get any ‘real’ winter weather here, not that I’m complaining, I love our winters. Wouldn’t mind a White Christmas one year...

Have some above freezing temps coming today and a decent bit of rain overnight. Will make a big dent into the mountain of snow we've got over the past week or two. The driveway's snow banks looked a bit too much like February than December...

Our afternoon high here today will be mid-40's F, then rising into the 50's overnight as a cold front and rain approach. After the front passes tomorrow morning, the thermometer will be tumbling back below freezing with a wind advisory in effect for gusts over 40 MPH.....

Merry Christmas indeed. I hope this holds true. I'll get out for a ride.

Hope it stays dry for you and you get a nice ride on Christmas Day. Meanwhile, I'll probably be pumping out my backyard. C'est la vie...
