This is your annual winter storm with some snow chaos?
Hopefully not hitting the wind turbines this time.

Yes, we get actual winter about 1-3 times/year.  The ground is too warm for the snow to accumilate.

9f degrees as I write this. Been a pretty easy winter here in Kalamazoo so far but it ain't over yet ! Even though we have snow on the ground I did see/meet a dude riding an enduro today and talked with him as we were both at a local junk store looking for treasure. First bike I have seen in quite some time on the road.

You would be more than welcome to our Winter!  High expected of 33F today.

So we've had some flurries and freezing rain. The City is basically shut down, schools closed and countless vehicle accidents of the idiots that dont realize you cant drive on ice!

I know you guys laugh when we complain about freezing temps or when we have some snow flurries.

"Southerners are urged not to travel unless necessary as snow, ice and high winds approach.

Northerners - you'll need your big coat!"

But it's serious down here now, there has been freezing rain all night. Trees are down along with power lines, there is a report of 130,000 people without power in the Austin area.

We have not been affected yet.

Having been driving down in Texas once many years ago during an ice storm I will say nobody can drive around on slick clean ice easily.  A layer of nice snow makes all the difference and salt !!

Agreed, I have driven on snow in NM, CO & UT many times [on ski trips] and have had no problems, but ice is another animal, I dont want to crash! 

Even drove on snow here two years ago during that monster storm, went out for "donuts"!!

We have winter tires on our cars. It is not legal to drive a car on summer tires on winter roads.
I have spike free winter tires. Many cars here have steel spikes in winter tires.
My car has permanent 4WD.

We do not have concrete roads that must be horrible with a thin layer of snow or ice.
Our buildings here are well insulated with 3 glaced windows.

I heard about issues in northern Thailand when temperature sank to around +10C, people died. Maybe Chiang Mai area in the countryside.

Oh #$%*e!  I have a lot of "leaners" but nothing snapped yet.  My two Palm trees dont look too happy, they survived the "Great Snow Storm of '21", but dont know about this time?

Look on the bright side Ranger, you will have plenty of firewood next winter!

I have a years supply of wood already. I've done nothing but cut down trees since I bought this house. Drought, storms, ice all have taken their toll over the years.
This is worse than the big freeze a couple of years ago. I'll have a lot of chainsaw work to do next week. At least my power is still on.
Talked to a friend a bit ago, a big branch fell on the line to their house. Ripped the whole weatherhead off the side of the house.
