I have about 3 inches of snow on my sidewalk and it's 23F with a high today of maybe 34F!!
This is the beach in North Carolina below Wilmington, NC on the map!! This is the first time in the entire 8+ years I've lived here that it's even thought of snowing!!! By the weekend though my temps will be in the mid to upper 40's and it will be all gone!! I have no place to go so I'm staying in if I can as I'm not going out there with these people who think their 2 wheel drive 350HP car can travel thru this stuff. To be sure YES a car like that can go thru the snow, but not if you haven't even SEEN snow in at least 8 years!!! I know a guy who when he was younger had a motorcycle as his only transportation and he had to commute over 30 miles each way to work every day. He lived in Pennsylvania at the time and had to drive on the Interstate hi-way to get to and from work and when it snowed he would out there, sometimes the only vehicle, driving thru the snow. He said the State and Local police loved pulling him over just to laugh at him in person.
While the palms in Florida are covered in snow... the Mississippi coastal highways cleared by the capable snow-plowing service... an extremely powerful winter storm, named Éowin, approaches the British Isles and will hit Ireland on Friday; wind gusts in excess of 130 km/h (80 mph) (>Bf 12), most weather services' forecast models predict gusts in excess of 150 km/h (93 mph):

WOW! Glad I just have to deal with 'normal' wind gusts of 30 mph to 50 mph. Only time it cranks up higher than that is when we get tornado's - which happens every year or two around here.
183 km/h (113 mph) ... which set a new all time record for Ireland. Mean wind speeds reached 130 135 km/h (84 mph) (hurricane force), also a new record, at Mace Head research station in Carna, Co Galway.
I'm glad such monsters typically don't reach us on the continent but stay away, only hitting IE, UK and Norway. The last comparable powerful one, the extratropical cyclone "Kyrill" hit us 18 years ago. It took weeks back then to repair all the damaged or swept away roofs, even in my hometown far from the sea.
The weather where I am was 29F this morning while going up to about 44F later on here at the beach here in North Carolina, USA, how's the weather where you are?

UPDATE: 5 inches on our patio and it's still coming down!
Ideas are not fixed, nor should they be; we live in model-dependent reality.
