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.
These lake snows are so unpredictable. I remember one a few years back when we weren't supposed to get more than a couple of inches. It snowed all day and by nightfall we had something like 14".
BBC news just showed a clip of a football match in Canada (Ottawa?) heavy snow falling on the pitch at minus 8 🤪 and a terrific goal scored by team in red and black stripes.
