    This morning we woke up to this:

    Lake snow. Possible thunder snow tonight with accumulation of 3 to 7 inches. The leaves are still on the trees, so it's the worst time for heavy snow. The weight can break the branches.

        That storm is supposed to hit here about 10 PM.

        Brought stuff in and covered things up yesterday. Took a little Rosemary out of its pot and stuck it in the ground because my neighbor has one that recovers every year. We shall see.

        Landscapers coming tomorrow replace the cherry tree that died, add more rocks, change the grade in one area and add a weeping Norway Spruce as a focal point through the dining room window. Probably waited too long to call them but we’ll see how it goes.

        It’s not all that cold yet so it may work out.

          That last photo is worthy of publication. Contrasting trees, beautiful.

            Weather here in the N.E. has turned cold too, but it's rainy too. Relative humidity outside is above 70 so our dehumidifiers are running hard to keep the piano at 50-55%.

                @wtg i agree, those photos, and the 2024 one, are very pretty!

                But I hope the trees aren't damaged as the storm progresses!! Hopefully it passes without too much disruption!

                    Chicago - "Dangerous to impossible travel conditions due to intense lake effect snow expected. Snow rates in excess of 3 inches per hour, localized total snow accumulations of 12-18 inches and northerly wind gusts in excess of 30 mph are expected."

                    3 tunings scheduled tomorrow - let's see if I make any of them!

                        I predict tomorrow will be a soup day for us Chicagoans.

                        Snow rates in excess of 3 inches per hour will cripple travel, including during the Monday morning commute. Strong northerly wind gusts in excess of 30 mph will lead to greatly reduced visibility, especially near the Lake Michigan shoreline.

                        Periods of thundersnow will occur, as well.

                        • ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Lake effect snow is often very localized, with conditions varying from safe to dangerous across just a few miles. Snow totals in the Winter Storm Warning area may vary considerably from one location to the next.

                            I made it up.

                            Cold and snow. Batten down the hatches. Make soup.

                              Interesting coincidence.

                              It is 85/65 today and going to be 63/45 tomorrow.

                              The cooler weather is finally here.

                                Had neighbors from Chicago in my second winter in Colorado. They would have drinks and watch the news for Chicago weather and loudly celebrate being in nicer weather. They drank, I mean celebrated, a lot.

                                  The storm was supposed to miss us but the models have been all over the place so I’m not surprised that it’s been snowing all day. Not much accumulation though.
