17 degrees this morning heading to a "HI" of 25. Presently a "balmy" 21.

DAMN. This is "supposed" to be the South!!!!!

(Kentucky)

Jim, I'm a little more south that you, but here in Western North Carolina we awakened to 15 degrees.  Of course we are heading for a near-tropical 33 this afternoon.  Time to break out the shorts and umbrella drinks.

It's going to be 45 here in a couple days, with overnight lows of 35 or 36 a couple of nights. People can say whatever they want about Michigan, but it's not a bad place weather-wise if you're far enough inland to not be buried in lake effect snow. Unless you're in the U.P. which is like Canadian tundra compared to the southern half of the sate. The Great Lakes moderate the weather to a large degree, so it feels more like southern Ohio than it does another northern state like Minnesota.

33 right now but it feels like it's only 25.

It's 20 now and shout get up to 25 for 4 hours this afternoon. The app on my computer only shows up to 5 pm. And there's a 96% chance of snow then, and the 1/8 of the sun that's shining isn't doing us any favors.

I know this is just a sprinkling for you northern peeps, but in the ATL it's a major holiday.  And don't tell me we don't know how to drive on it.  There's ice underneath it all and most grades which includes overpasses, exit and entrance ramps are coated with it.  1-1/2" in a little over an hour.  Followed by 3 hours of light drizzle.  All on top of the frozen ground and roadways.   My Sunday IDPA match my be cancelled.  Fortunately because of the wide temp swings, this should all disappear by Saturday afternoon.

All the snow melted off the streets, sidewalks and driveway, but it's been so cold the snow in my yard didn't all melt. It's  not as bad as what you got, but I should catch up this evening.

P.S. People in Michigan forget how to drive in snow every year. The first time there's black ice in the underpasses, or freezing drizzle on the freeway, cars will go spinning and flying off the road as if they're being tossed about Frisbee-style.
