You Yankees need to come get your junk out of my yard

Haaving been through Shreveport many time I cant imagine it looking like that. Best stay off he highways.
Oh yeah, the I-20 bridge over the Red River is backed way up because people can’t make it over the incline of the bridge. I stayed my ass at home this morning.
It’s a Holly tree. And the cedar waxwings have been giving it hell the last couple days.
I am in corpus christi and it is 18 at my house now and everybody is losing their mind. My dogs won't even go outside.
That ain't nothing, besides it'll probably be gone in a couple days. I woke up to 6' of that stuff. I'm ready for winter to go away.
I have three dogs. One doesn’t mind it. The other two are wienies.
I will retire in 5 years. The ol lady and me have been kicking around where we want to live. She said wyoming I told her she couldnt take it that cold. She told me she could. About an hour ago she told me scratch wyoming off the list.
Flying back from Orlando Saturday night, we touched down in Denver for a connecting flight home to Tucson. Temp at the Jetway was 4 degrees, and the terminal interior was at or around freezing. By the time we reboarded (the same plane we'd arrived on), the Jetway temp was down to zero.
Everything everywhere was white and blowing around fiercely.
Great week at Dizzyworld, though, had our own Villa in Old Key West Resort; 5 folks, 8 days.
The park facilities are not normal, many attractions and sections of the parks are closed down 'for renovation'. The staff and activities continue as before, frenetically jolly. Prices for things like food and trinkets are astronomical. Nearly a ten spot for a Coke. The attendance was pretty good, somewhere more than half capacity, was good in some ways.
It appears that the renovation statement is accurate, and that the parks' grand reopening (whenever...) will reveal a whole new series of attractions. I might be there, I might not.
We arrived in Orland airport, got onto the Disney Magical Express, and arrived at out Hospitality house in our resort with all our baggage. Our Mobility Carts were waiting and we were set up on the ground floor in a disability accommodation villa. All service and facilities at our lodging were first rate. But the parks were clearly in distress. The disability accommodations are nearly all for Celia, but I use the mobility carts because my getting around these days is not so hot. No stamina.
Folks may or may not get distressed with our taking advantage of Disney facilities. The only money we spent with Disney this trip was what we paid to eat, mostly. The rest was an investment we made literally more than a decade ago, something like a timeshare, at a time when Disney was an entirely different entity, politically.
Some may notice that I've been absent from these forums a lot lately. Health is one part of it, mine and Celia's. we're OK, but not stellar, No Covid in the house, nearly none in the community, mostly nomads from CA. Our community and VFW have adopted very strict participation controls, and it appears to be working surprisingly well. We could rejoin our friends in the club immediately, but were advised to wait until Wednesday, to get come indications of possible symptoms before reengaging completely. It's a personal option, and we think it's a good one following o/o state travel. Some of our friends are pretty elderly (80's) and frail, and it just helps us to avoid them getting infected.
I take my own temperature thrice daily. So far...

I find these threads interesting, funny, and curious.
Welcome to my world.

It ain't 123* but I did have to remove my socks and long pants.
Yes, I did put some shorts on.

This stuff shouldn't be allowed south of the Mason Dixon Line.
Busting ice off the tanks so the cows can drink isn't supposed to happen in SE TX.

God is punishing you for letting all the commiefornians move to TX
I told a friend this morning that nature was trying to run the californians out of Texas.
I walked outside at noon after a 6 day stretch of working nights and not seeing the sun. I thought, "holy crap it's warm out today!" It was -10. After several nights of -35 it feels really really good.
Man I sure loved the big snow days and driving on base on Carson. All the southerners stuck on the side of the road. Give a kid an ATV
With land that has 4 seasons and the only thing he’ll fear on snow days is the fucking retarded people.
Sorry. I’ll swing by on our way back home to Denver and pick up our drunk weather
Its the shits. Lost almost everything in the greenhouse last night. 40+ hours below zero was too much even with the space heaters. We get a lot of nights below zero but usually get sun and 20 during the day. If its cloudy it usually isn't as cold. What sucks is cleaning out all the dead foliage just now its 76 in there. If it could have just been a few degrees warmer yesterday or if I'd been just a few IQ points smarter to add another heater last night it would be smooth sailing to summer. Went out to check this morning and ended up spending an hour harvesting frozen produce to get in the freezer so I can salvage it for stews,etc. Had just started a bunch of shit for the summer crop. All hosed even being on a heat mat. Son of a bitch!
I am in TX now on my annual ham slam. Got about 3-4" of snow and people have pretty much lost their shit completely. I could go out for a jog and pass cars in my tennis shoes. I am not complaining though, we pretty much have the roads to ourselves. When I left our house it was -26, so even though it is 15 degrees here it's not that bad. I have lived in some cold places in my life and while it's not convenient, you can dress for it almost 100 percent of the time, even when it's super cold. Now when it gets super hot outside, I'm worthless. You will find me hunkered in some type of AC for as long as I possibly can.
The warm is coming. It was 28* here in Montana today. First day above zero for a week.
I was running around outside in a hoodie, since it was so warm. Had to wear a jacket last week.

We're supposed to get 14" tonight. I plan to add 5-10 minutes to my morning commute, then go about my day as usual.
Is she 18 yet?
Asking for a friend
And Shreveport's supposed to get down to 3-5 degrees, tonight and more snow, on Wednesday! I had to shovel snow and salt the walks for my tenants, this morning. Was in Colorado, over Thanksgiving week and it was like this. Man, I'm ready for spring, already!
possession is 9/10 tenths of the law , its your lawn its now your snow 
LOL it's warmer in Ohio
How much snow did you get?
We got about 9 inches but the drifts on the roads are 2 - 3 ft high from 40 mph winds. Super light and dry powder.
It’s warmer in Anchorage too.
We got 4-6 inches, with sleet and freezing rain being the first inch.
We’ll get the second wave tonight. I think this is going to be more ice than snow, so we’ll have more power line damage. It’s gonna suck the next couple of days.
Up here we use C.
Only -22 huh? Well that makes it all better and everything is warmer now, right? Ahhhhh, the tanning!
It’s a Holly tree. And the cedar waxwings have been giving it hell the last couple days.
The cedar waxwings are back this morning. Them and the robins have bees stripping the berries out of the holly tree.
My point was that it got that cold "way down south" here in Wyoming.
