It's been coming down here all day. I've gone through 50+ pounds of
ice melt, and bought another 40 pounds this afternoon. NO ONE has
flown in or out of Iowa City all day, and we've taken cancellations at
about the same rate as people are stumbling in off the road. One poor
woman did a 360 degree donut right in front of the hotel. She came in
and rented a suite right then and there.

Our only dim hope: The temperature just broke the freezing mark, up
from 23 earlier today. Hopefully the forecasters are correct and
temps will continue to rise overnight...

*snort!* Let's see, we had real snow for Thanksgiving -- far earlier
than most years -- and now we're headed into the deep freeze tonight.

Yep, the climate is sure changing dramatically. Why, it feels just
like...1978...

Yep. Everything's just fine, says the guy plummeting past the 54th floor.

In case you think you are alone in experiencing weather today -- I had
to cancel my mountain checkout today. Apparently 50 knot winds are a
bit strong for flying up to Lake Tahoe in a Citabria.

Extra bonus -- if we went flying, the winds aloft would have added 50%
to the speed of the plane on the way there...

(Yeah, I know: only in California is a windy day "weather". I grew up
in Toronto, and only recently moved here. I miss the snow already.)

We should exchange webcams. I can put one showing your hotel and you can put
one showing my office. Its been over 30C for weeks

What a mess.... now it's snailing or snaining and the wind hasn't let up.

Snaining? First time I ever heard that term. It's rowing here...

My favorite from a fellow glider-guider:

snow in a patch of virga,

Snow? What's that? Here at 54 degrees north (further north than the
entire continental United States, I've not seen a flake of
snow at my house for 2 years running. We've not even had a frost yet
this winter. I brought one of my more tender palm trees indoors on a
couple of nights when it looked like we were getting a freeze, but it
never happened.

Of course, the Gulf stream might have something to do with that :-)
