It's been FREEZING around here the past couple of days. According to Accuweather's site at this very moment it is 14 degrees, but feels like -10! We are also expected to get another 5 inches of snow...on top of the 6+ inches we already have.
It feels like winter already!

More Information

... ANOTHER ROUND OF WINTRY WEATHER EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...

.AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ALONG THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. COLD AIR WILL BE IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE ACROSS EAST KENTUCKY... WITH WARMING AIR OVERRIDING THE COLD AIR AS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES BY TO THE SOUTH. THIS WILL SET THAT STAGE FOR A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS EAST KENTUCKY FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY.

More of the same but with sleet and freezing rain on top. So we have a sandwich of (from the bottom) ice, 6 inches of snow with 4 more inches expected and then freezing rain/sleet on top of that.

Santa better have snow chains on that sleigh :-\

Being in a tropical country, many people here wish to see a white Christmas. Well, some of us here who experienced a white Christmas says the scene looks good from the outside looking in. But once you're inside the home and everything out there is white, the view isn't very cozy :)

I look forward to experience that one day :) Meantime, I'm enjoying the "cold" temperature of 22 degrees Celsius. This is a great break from the 35-degree temperatures during summer :)

Yes, I'm glad it warmed up today.  We have a projected high of 72 F.  :)

marvinmacs--my husband grew up in Texas and often dreams of a white Christmas.  He gets one whenever we visit my parents in Iowa for Christmas, but I told him it's overrated.

It's 37ºF here! Brrr.

I grew up with white Christmases most years (northern US), but have seen very few since moving south. I do miss white Christmases!

It's 'warmed up here too' it is 28 F today!  Better than the sub zero earlier this week.   I like having a white Christmas but I would like it to go away as soon after.  I would love to live south and just come home for a week during Christmas, that would be FANTASTIC!
