I've just seen on our evening news programme a report on the very severe weather in the US. They called it a 'cyclone bomb' and I am hoping that all our US members are doing okay.

Hi Pathfinder, I hope it doesn't get any worse. It showed the storm all the way down from the north as far as Florida, and temps well below freezing. I think it said Chicago was the worse hit, and my pen-pal lives there, so I need to send her an e-mail. Keep safe and warm.

Hello,
I live in Georgia, in the southern USA. This is typical weather when I was growing up in the south. When I was in high school this was normal. I remember 16 degrees in Fall during football games. I was in the marching band and remember it well. I remember snow days out of school. It never really stopped. People have short memories. We have had snow shut down the interstates. Its 17 degrees as I'm typing this. I believe in Florida, where many northern transplants live, they will do just fine. Most baby boomers know how to dress and survive without electricity. We all done it before.

My county and city has banned any travel. It's a total white out, winds will be getting up to 50-70 MPH gusts. The temp will be somewhere south of zero and, no idea what those kind of wind chills will be. Looks like someone painted over all my windows with white paint! Then, every so often, I will get a sense of the shape of the house across the street. yeah, many are shut in for the Christmas holiday.
I so feel for the mid west as, I lived in South Dakota for 4 years and what they will be or have already gotten had to be really bad...not to mention Minnesota!

Do they know how long this weather ‘ bomb ‘ will last !?
Hi Rita, as far as Western Ny is concerned, we have the blizzard warning until tomorrow (Christmas) 7 A.M. It's 12 degrees F. now, and blustery. The drifting has covered one of my fences in back where you cannot even tell I have a separation between my property and the one next door! Yikes...! Can't wait till Spring...

Down here in North Georgia its 8 degrees right now at 10 am. Sunny and clear. The wife went out and got donuts this morning. I pray everyone is safe and warm. The LORD blessed me with a new house last year. It has all the latest energy savings. I have no problems keeping the house warm.

Dig in and let the LORD be praised and thanked , FOR HE is with the lambs though it all .
One day all lambs will forever be in their home . A place where the sun shall smite no more . No more sufferings
just a home where all righteousness dwells and where the lambs shall sing as one unto the glorious LORD who saved them .
Now lift those hands and let the LORD be praised .

I'm glad I don't live east of the mountains. The weather they get is terrible. Tornados, Hurricanes, Snow storms and cold weather. It's pretty mild here in the Pacific Northwest and that storm just gave us 3" of snow. It turned bad after it went over the mountains. Sorry all that have to deal with it.

It’s sounds awful in some places, it would throw the U.K. completely as we don’t cope with snow very well
Oh Rita, ours is still going, only had about a 20 minute reprieve today. They expect, by me, it will continue on till about 7A.M.
Here's a couple pics of my yard earlier. One is the back 6ft fencing and the other is the side where you cannot even see the 4 ft. fence there. It's the blowing and drifting...the whiteouts and very slippery road conditions that are placing things to quite a dead stop. I pray that emergency vehicles can get through...again, we've seen no plow since it all began and probably won't for a couple days depending.

Oh we were all ready, the supermarket shelves were pretty bare even on Wednesday, I don't have much of an appetite anymore but have more than enough food. The snow has kind of insulated the house so, I only have my heat set to 65! It's all good, and thank you for your thoughts sister. I hope Helen and Dave will be warm and safe as well, I mean, c'mon, Alberta Canada!!! Brrrr!
xo!

Not on topic really but, I must comment on how the garments of the saints will be dipped in His blood and be white as snow...working in a lab for 23 years and working with all kinds of blood and many other specimens...Ever wonder how something dipped in blood could be white?? The DNA is in the WHITE CELLS!!! We centrifuge the samples, the red cells end up on the bottom of the tube and the white cells rise to the top and THAT is what is used for many many blood tests...including....DNA!!! :)
