Riding around in a wheelchair is like riding around in a convertible with the top down!!!

The L.A. area has had some pretty heavy rains for the past two days. Should fix the recent California water drought a bit.

Right now it's the tropics here in NYC - we're clocking in at 22 degrees now. This has been a VERY snowy winter. But it could be worse. I have a friend who went to Manitoba on business and the warmest it got was -2. UGH!!!

Kansas To Massachusetts: Up To A Foot Of Snow To Fall Across 1,300 Miles
Storm has potential to affect more than 100 million people
By Associated Press
Updated Friday, Feb. 28, 2014, 5:30 p.m. ET

March may not come in like a lion everywhere across the nation, but winter will roar during the first several days of the month and impact more than 100 million people. Snow will expand from the northern Rockies and central Plains to portions of the Midwest this weekend, reaching the Northeast early next week. The adverse winter conditions will develop Friday into Saturday over the Plains and is forecast to shift slowly eastward Sunday and Monday.

Snowfall from the cross-country storm will exceed 1,500 miles on its journey. There is the potential for more than 6 inches of snow to fall along a 1,300-mile stretch from Topeka, Kan., to Kansas City, Mo.; Peoria, Ill.; Indianapolis; Columbus, Ohio; Pittsburgh; Philadelphia; New York City; Hartford, Conn.; Providence, R.I.; and Boston. Some locations along this swath could end up with a foot of snow or more. People traveling by road or airways should expect major long-lasting delays as this area of snow expands eastward and crawls along.

For a time, the snow or a wintry mix will impact areas between the I-70 and I-90 corridors over the Rockies and Plains and the I-64 to I-90 corridors in the Midwest and East. From the Midwest to the Northeast, portions of I-80 could close for a time due to a very heavy snowfall rate. Snowfall rates at the height of the storm may reach 2 inches per hour. Major airport hubs from Kansas City, Mo., Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City and Boston may all be directly affected by the storm with the potential for thousands of delays and/or cancelations. Ripple-effect flight delays and cancelations are likely to reach nationwide.

One batch of snow will push slowly eastward Saturday into Sunday from the Great Lakes to part of the central Appalachians. It is during this first batch where Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo, N.Y., are likely to get most of the snow from the event. However, it is during the last part of the storm, when the heaviest and longest-lasting snow is likely to occur centered farther south and in part of the coastal Northeast. The heaviest snow is projected to be Sunday to Sunday night over the northern Ohio Valley states to part of the central Appalachians and Sunday night and Monday in the coastal Northeast.

Initially, the storm will evolve into a blizzard over the northern Rockies and northern High Plains with dangerously low AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures. Farther east, the storm may be less intense in terms of wind and low RealFeel extremes, but precipitation can be quite heavy and very disruptive. The storm is likely to impact not only travel, but also school and business activities. The storm may completely tap remaining ice-melting supplies in some communities.

According to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, "The challenge with this storm is figuring out where the north-south boundary between rain and snow will set up and migrate to as the storm progresses slowly eastward." A tremendous temperature contrast will set up from north to south with the storm. A distance of 100 miles could bring temperatures ranging from the 60s and 70s to the 20s and 30s and the difference between rain, ice and snow.

"In a narrow swath, all or part of the storm will deliver snow that may be difficult to shovel and plow, due to its accumulation and weight," Abrams said. Ice is a concern in between the heavy snow and soaking rain area. "Because of the great amount of moisture available to this storm, a narrow zone of heavy ice can occur with downed trees and power outages," Abrams said. A shift in storm track by as little as a few dozen miles and more of a press of cold air could make the difference between heavy snow, light snow, ice and rain. In the warm air on the southern flank of the storm, drenching rain and thunderstorms will occur. Long-duration rainfall will occur near the rain/snow line, while the potential for strong to locally severe thunderstorms sweeping through is greatest over the lower Mississippi Valley.

This winter was the coldest one in Northwest Ohio since 1994, according to the meteorologists, and I believe them. It was also the one with the most snow, beating the winter of 1977-78 when we had the blizzard of January 1978.

I won't be sad to see this current winter season end!!

It's cold here too and we got around 3 inches of snow over night on top of a thin layer of ice. We don't deal with snow that well here in the south, lot's of fender benders and cars sliding off the roadway.
