US NWS: "Tracking Winter Weather and Frigid Temperatures This Weekend

Another clipper will drop into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest into Sunday with snow and gusty winds contributing to some areas of blizzard conditions and snow squalls. Impactful snowfall will occur up and down the East Coast Sunday extending from the western Florida Panhandle to Maine"

We got enough wet, heavy snow last night that the city got its scraper stuck in our cul-de-sac.

All those winter storm warnings in the US look like a big seahorse, if you ask me.

If you look out your window in a large part of the country, winter will be staring back at you. After growing up in Minnesota I decided many years ago that the crummy kind of weather I preferred was 40 degrees and rain instead of 20 degrees and snow.

Currently near Redmond WA the sky is clear, wind calm and temp at mid-day in upper 30s. It was 25 last night - coldest night of the season so far.

I've had a couple small devices for inflating a tire, and as we get into winter season, I can heavily endorse this kind. Only works on a 12v, but has a great length of a power cord and a suitable length of a hose. Relatively quick and a good form factor for a device like this.

Annual curmudgeonly post:
in the US “blizzard” as used by NWS is a jargon term with an imprecise definition: It does not mean "snows hard" or "snow a lot" or "big drifts". A blizzard consists of three necessary features:
1) wind: frequent sustained or gusts 35 mph or higher
2) visibility: frequently reduced to less than ¼ mile in falling and/or blowing snow
3) above conditions persist 3 hours or more.

“frequent” is undefined, hence the impreciseness.
