Here in Texass, we're supposed to get some rain on Monday, as the cold front hits and it drops to near/below freezing.  People at work were already freaking out about "possibilities of snow" and icy driving conditions.  Even though its in the 50's and 60's this weekend, so the ground isn't going to be cold enough for anything to get icy except, *maybe*, bridges.

Same here in the Hill Country, people are reminding people to let the water run overnight too to prevent frozen pipes.  With the way climate is changing at some point it might pay to put the water lines more than 9 inches deep - ROFL

Put your water lines down below 9 inches lol. We have ours down to at lest 24 inches and still changes are of freezing up in the colder temps as the cold temps sets in through out the winter months.

My wife says she knew we were moving to an area with Four Seasons, she just didn't expect them all on the way to town!    Russ

Yep we know that feeling up here for sure.

Snow and cold....in the winter it takes me 20 minutes to get ready to go out side.

 

[meflick]

Sorry winter seems to be showing it’s face a tad early, no snow expected here, but the arctic air is suppose to be here for a day or two come Tues. 🌬

[John B]

We had 42c yesterday, but I think  I'd rather that then ice and snow

 

[oldhudson]

Yes, but at least it's not cold

Would that we could, in my part of Texas our ground is granite, lime stone and caliche and maybe 4 inches of dirt on top.

all jumbled up, not in layers, I've had teeth torn off a ditch witch when using it.

We got about 5" of the stuff today.. LOL... cars sliding off the road because they forgot you supposed to slow down a mile or two before the stop signs..  Usually that first couple of snows we get are like driving on grease.. but after that ground gets cold and the snow is more fluffy light weight and then it just kinda blows outta your way.. 

[Jim McDonald]

As of 2000 Eastern,  I had just a tad under 4 inches showing on the snow stick. And as @kmmcrafts said it is the wet, greasy stuff. 

I was amazed--but not surprised--that the folks in 4 wheel drive SUVs took the longest time at stop signs if they were turning. My old 2WD was just motoring along. Of course, all it takes is a minimal grade to make it fishtail when I take off.

[spirithorse]

Yes, people just seem to forget how to drive in snowy weather from one winter to the next.
Tomorrows newspaper will probably have at least 8 accidents listed.
(Small rural town, police reports are one or two pages of the entire paper).

Everybody keep warm and safe.

God Bless! Spirithorse

NE Ohio signal for freezing rain and snow overnight.

[Bill WIlson]

60 degrees yesterday.  Currently it's 25, with a couple inches of snow on the ground.

9"???? We can't have water lines anything less than 8 feet deep here. Last Sunday morning it was -15. Normally we don't get quite this cold this early in the season. Looks like its going to be a long winter in the north country.

I remember those temps from some places the Army stationed me - yikes!

We get a freeze every so often, not real regular.  a Few years back we had a spate of below freezing for 4 days, 17 for a low and highs in the lower 30's.  I gave my tenants a letter telling them to run water all day and night in each sink and a $25 credit on next months rent to help with the water bill, or they could pay for the plumbing repair for the broken pipes and water damage to the house due to negligence.  Don't know if that would have held up in court, luckily they all complied.
