OT - CRAZY winter weather . . .

[Phoenixblue]

So, for the first time in over 30 years, they had to cancel school here in Fairbanks, AK. . . for 3 days. (they won't even cancel school if its -50 out!)

We had freezing rain for 3 days before thanksgiving. Roads got really nasty, several school buses went off the road before they called off school.
Temps were about 35 above .. some places got over 1 inch of ice buildup.

Now, less than a week later, we are nasty cold ... -30!
Which is actually much more normal than the +35 it was last week.

Still ... that is a 60 degree difference in less than a week!

It really has been a crazy winter so far... I didn't have to dig out my boots or heavy coat until just recently .. We have had very above average temps until now. Anyone else having crazy winter weather?

Ummm.....if you don't mind....could you keep it on your coast for just a little while more?

Though once this Sunday is past, bring it on! That's our Sunday School concert and the last thing in the year I'm in charge of and I want it over! After that it can storm all it wants! (I may come to regret those words.....)

It's been crazy here in Ohio, too. Wonderfully mild temperatures, even yesterday (in the 50's & rainy). Today it's snowing & sub-freezing. Not quite the drop you had (it's +27 right now) but it's supposed to keep getting colder. My sinuses & eyes are NOT happy!

Sayhello

PS, I *LOVE* Fairbanks! (at least in September!) What a great town!

Ice is so much worse than snow any day.
I agree the weather in Ohio switched from 70's last month to snow and high 20's now. My sinuses are also a mess - I thought is was just me.
