Our snow just changed to huge fluffy flakes and it is accumulating. The roads are covered and the barometer took a nose dive.

The day started out at 11ºF. Now it has climbed all the way up to 19ºF. I was planning on going out this morning, but not in that cold. And certainly not riding my scooter. Right now it is snowing. The ground is covered. We will see what the night brings.
We have a friend from Boston who was a weather forecaster in the Navy with DH and still has family and friends there. He says Boston will get about 1" of accumulation overnight with a changeover to sleet and rain tomorrow. Accumulations of 6-12" north and west, with most areas getting 8-10".
He's been very accurate with predicting nor'easters here, and Hurricane Sandy last year. Let's see how well he does

We have 49 degrees and rain right now. Curled up in a recliner with a book and my tablet
33°F, been wandering in and out without a coat. Went to Costco earlier, only had a sweater on because my pants don't have pockets.
It warmed up. It's been -18C (0 F) most of today. With the wind, that was really frelling cold. This is our forecast:

You went in only a sweater?
I can see that it might be annoying not to have pockets in one's trousers, but to leave them home... Ducks and runs

Yeah, but it cleared out the parking lot and store really fast!!!

It's just a little after midnight & it's 10F. The wind makes it feel much colder.

I'll have to remember this for future shopping expeditions!
So, does the sweater have pockets?
The snow started around 19h and we have a couple of inches. The snow flakes are getting bigger. It warmed up 2 degrees to -16C (3F) with wind chillies of -28C (-18F).
We did some shopping in the -18 C /0 F weather. At the liquor store parking lot I saw a guy on a bicycle!

We got about one inch and now it is raining. I never pay attention to what they say on TV. Boston weather is always less than the rest of the state. Unless it is a Nor'easter. Then we get it all.

Icy rain hitting our windows right now Addie. I despise this kind of weather. Back home we might get freezing rain once every couple years or so. Seems like it happens a couple times a winter where we are now. Hate it!

Long pants? Sweater? I've seen a few crazies up here wearing shorts and sneakers with no socks in that kind of weather. *shakes head*

Those are my favorite kind of flake! When it was really cold back home I swear some of the flakes were the size of dinner plates! I know, exaggerating, but they drifted down like something out of a Charlie Brown TV special. Up here if we get the larger flakes they don't drift, they come sideways at you at about 40 or 50 MPH.

Around here, in the spring, the farmers call those big fluffy snowflakes "poor mans manure".
In the winter they just call it snow!

In the Navy, it's kind of important to get a forecast right. The captain hates it when an aircraft carrier is in a bad weather system while jets are trying to land on the flight deck
Our area is the same way - it's always warmer than the rest of the state, because of our proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay.
