How's the weather where you are?

[Raoul]

Rain in the tricities, but temps are scheduled to drop so it'll probably get fun here in a while.

[10-Ring]

Probably a little less than an inch of snow on the ground and 22 with continued snow fall.

In Columbia my yard and driveway are already white and getting slick. I am an OTR driver and just so happen to come home last night. Looks like I am staying put til monday!

[Grand Torino]

The weather stinkin' sucks this morning.....that's how the weather is right now. Wind driven snow/sleet with a wind chill of 9. I hate winter.

[Sam1]

Real snow!

 

First time I've seen this since 2010

[gr8smiles]

Brentwood is a ghost town. Very few cars, roads are worse than they were a few weeks ago. Not feeding the drama, just observing what I see. The Tundra doesn't know the difference between ice, snow, or asphalt :)

At 2:30 this morning all we had was ice on the cars, at 6 AM SNOW!!!

[Sam1]

Think I wanna go play in it for a while, wish us luck!

Again, here in the Ingle'hood...at 3AM, we had just some traces of flakes when I let our dog out. Somewhere between then and 6 we got close to 4 inches of snow. Doesn't seem to be much ice under it here.

Here in Bristol there are these large balls of sloppy wet ice falling .

[2.ooohhh]

Had a blast on the commute in, totally unplowed roads from brentwood to vandy, plenty of people who shouldn't have been out. Went to centennial park for a run since I was cooped up most of yesterday. Beautiful, and nearly deserted.

Two inches of slushly sleet with 6 inches of snow on top of that according to my yardstick. Nasty mess ground not froze underneath and muddy out feeding hay this morning.

[macville]

I've got Leprechaun snow here in Knoxville...

[Cherokee Slim]

Zip, zero, Nada.  It rained for a while but the temps back up to 36.

Most people ducked out of work today, and those who didn't were leaving early to beat the ice. My wife called and asked me to please come home before the ice got so bad I'd be stuck. So, I came on home, driving down perfectly fine roads. No snow, no ice, just some puddles.   :panic:

22" up here in KY

Is your beetle a TDI?

[2.ooohhh]

Is your beetle a TDI?

I wish, it is a 2.0l with the five speed though. Approaching 200k with no signs of stopping anytime soon.

What Mpg's does it get?

My Dad has a 2001 TDI and he drives like old man slooooooow. But he averages around 47 MPG's with 95% city driving with AC on and has got as high as 52 mpg's when he's kept up with it; all highway driving, no telling what it would get. I think I recall him saying he's got up around 700 miles on a tank and not sure if that is to E or whatever.

He was talking about getting rid of it before he retires and I told him I'd buy it. But I'm trying to make him see, he'll pay more in car payments for a new car than diesel maintenance on the TDI. He just gets pissed when he goes to the VW dealer to do stuff and they always find enough work to jack him for about $1,100. Still, I tell him, $2k a year in maintenance is a drop in the bucket compared to new car payments and insurance.

I get 28 in town, just shy of 30 in the highway if I don't speed. Comes to just under 400 per tank. I expect that to improve a bit when I rebuild the engine to actually take advantage of the ethanol in our gas now.

 

Weather here is fine, clear but dang cold and all that wet stuff refroze into nice sheets of ice. Entertaining to watch people try and drive on.

Sunny & 57.  Cleaned up all the fallen branches and other debris in my yard.  Looks like a wet week ahead.... right into next weekend.

[TGO David]

It's a bit surreal walking around outside in shorts, t-shirt and sandals today... while shoveling the last remnants of ice off of our sidewalk.  :D

[Fourtyfive]

Yes it is , t-shirt for me too , love it !

[peejman]

This weekend was fantastic.  We spend the entire afternoon yesterday playing with the kids and we all got nicely sun burned as a result.  :)  Looks like we've got a whole week of rain to recover.  :-\
