This was my view this morning driving to work:

I've never seen ice fog before---it was surreal! You could hold your hand out the window (briefly) and "feel" the fog hitting your hand. Vapors were rising from the snow piles, trees had clouds around them- it almost looked alien.

Lived in this area 40+ years and never seen anything like it.

that's actually pretty cool looking.

It was 34*F this morning, and is supposed to get in the low-mid 70's on friday....I hate Texas.

79 degrees. Walked around the yard in shorts/t-shirt and examined the mango blooms.

9F this morning on the whole 5 minute drive to work. It's warmer than yesterday. Supposed to hit the 30s by the weekend (with no snow!) Sounds like shorts weather to me!

It's pretty much tropical. It was like 5 or 6 F ABOVE ZERO when I got in my car. And 50 mins later when I arrived at work it was up to like 10 degrees!

I can't wait for this weekend. Might even get above freezing, it will be like a vacation at a tropical paradise!

28F, feels like 17F with about 2" of snow on the ground and 4-8" more forecast for today. South Carolina isn't prepared for this kind of weather.

Yeah, it was a little balmy when I left for work at 5:20 this morning.

I'm so glad that I'm not in the midwest right now. Should be in the mid 30s when I get back which won't be so bad.

Just another morning in SD. I think it was -16f when I woke up this morning. Shaping up to be a nice day though. Low 20s probably.

Mid 60s on my way in to work this morning. Mid 70s and sunny right now which is pretty much the forecast for the next 6 days.

I am soooooo friggin sick and tired of this extended cold spell this year. -6F when I came in from the barn last night. -17F when I got up this morning. And -18F when I left for work this morning. I wouldn't care at all if it simply meant fewer people on the ski slopes (and the powder from snow on colder days makes for some of the best skiing). But, I have a lot of animals that drink a lot of water. I'm sick of carrying the damn water buckets all over the place.

Was a bit brisk....~35F.

Weather aside, traffic was a nightmare. They had the feeder down to one lane on the busiest interstate in the entire city.

Just imagine how cold it would be for some of you if it weren't for global warming...
