Dat is looking weird.
Our average so far this month is 12.3, just a few tenths off the record of 12.1
This is really interesting with the cold weather. Frozen waves.

I saw that last night on the news, really cool but slightly scary. I'm thinking it's not normal!!
I agree it can't be normal. This one I think is the coolest. It really shows how "thick" the water is.
Frozen waves are cool.
I wish he had video.
I bet they'd make for fun surfing. Sure, it'd be cold and wiping out would hurt like crazy but maybe you'd be able to ride one longer?
After being good, not bragging about how it's been no-jacket weather here, out of sympathy for everyone else, today I awoke to 6" of snow and it's still coming down.
Unlike you out east, we need the water.
But still - freaking A cold, that's what it is.

Your snow is finding it's way up through Kansas EM. We desperately need the moisture so no complaining allowed.
I just came in from clearing the walk and drive... the better half works tonight. It's still dumping it on us but at least I've got a start on it.

It's 13 degrees here in MN right now, supposed to warm up a bit next week & we might get a couple inches (forecast says 1-3) of snow. We've hardly had any snow this winter, it's a nice change from previous winters but really weird to be so brown for so much of the winter here. I guess most of our snow went East this year!
I just finished of the last of 150 pounds of salt trying to take advantage of the sun and high 20's temps to clear some ice. I still have another 100# I just got ready for the remainder of the winter.
EM, how frequent is snow where you are? Seems like it would be fairly uncommon for you to get 6"+ storms. How cold is it?

A few years ago I was snowed in for four days at Gallop NM. I KNOW it can snow there!
At high elevations it's really variable.
One year we got nearly four feet (not drifts, true feet) in a matter of about as many hours.
Another year, our front yard snowman had an 8' lower ball (topped 18' done), and no ground showing from the effort.
But the majority of the time just an inch or two that melts so fast it almost sublimates.
40 or 50 degree temperature swings, day in, day out, are pretty common.
Temperature means something else entirely in a thinner atmosphere with far less thermal mass than what you have down there.
Same thing with rain.
We get flash floods that pick up trucks and move them far away.
But we get something else you have to experience to comprehend.
Rain - not drizzle - rain - that leaves the pavement dry while it's happening, and while you feel wet when you're in it, the very instant you step out of it - and I do mean the very instant - you find your face slightly damp and your clothes dry.
That's absolutely magical.
Along with lightning during snow storms, we get a fair amount of that anymore.

Kaat, what's that tanish color at the bottom of the photo? It couldn't be bare ground could it? It's been so long since I've seen it, that I forgot what it looks like.
