12 Inches of Snow!!!

UGH. That's a lot of snow. I think we are going to get what you already had but maybe a little less of of it. 
 
I put in a heat pump last year. It is designed to heat well into the low 20s or teens. It isn't designed for weather like this. I sized the backup heat for temps in the high teens. I should have gone bigger. The backup will knock the chill out of the place but it won't keep up in single digits. Today I'm going  to light off my coal again, even if only for a few days.Looks like Wed. Things will be back to more typical temps.We got down to 3F the other day and using my gas fireplace and another infrared heater we kept things toasty until it got better. 
 
I'm glad I don't live where Soens lives. Now that's COLD! Michigan wouldn't be my first choice that's for sure. If we are into global warming It hasn't gotten to this part of the globe yet.

Yep. Northern Indiana here. It's -18 here right now, the wind chill is almost -40, and we've got over a foot of snow. Global warming??? Not thinking so...

Yup, Michigan is SWAMPED. I had to shovel my driveway twice yesterday, and both my cars got stuck at the end of the street.

At least you didn't get a foot of snow!
(Oh, wait...)

Today's high is about -11 if it gets there. Last night the wind chill factor was at -47 at the coldest.
The heck with the snow, in 3 minutes or about 10 minutes depending on temp you can get frostbite if not all covered.
A lot of places are not even open and tonight the same thing. Tuesday it may get above zero and better after this Arctic Chill Blast. Like summertime in Antarctica!
Yuck!
 
Some people though had power go out. About 50 left to hook up still. Hope it works out, and I suppose across this Nation, give the outside workers praise for working on it. They quit plowing the streets last night but going out again this morning. Besides all the people having accidents and cars probably not starting.
 
 

So you probably shouldn't go outside Commando style where you are Spacealf?

Good idea Larry! Though I hope you'll never be homeless!

Rain
We had it pretty bad here in Vegas last month - a snowstorm of almost Canadian proportion:
 
Fortunately, things got back to normal... 

But that area needs it, though. Kathy said that for once her flowers got thoroughly watered, and she didn't even have to water, feed or bathe the birds!

Rain, it's a wonder anyone there survived.

And they still have the pending floods from when it melts to be prepared for!

That's  probably the single most annoying thing about snow removal for me. To spend an hour at it and then go out and do it all again not much later. 
 
Thank goodness for snow blowers.

Rain did such an excellent job clearing the snow that there's barely any left to photograph. Canadians don't fear the snow.
