We got our first snow of the winter just now! It was raining this afternoon though, so it's not settling.

Whoooo we're up to 22° right now in Portland Maine!
It's a heat wave compared to 3° yesterday.

It was 19F this morning and freezing rain, not fun to drive.

-20c/-4f and windchill on top of that... lots of snow

 

[LTS3]

A heat wave 56F compared to 1F three days ago. The deluge of rain hasn't started yet even though the interactive weather map shows rain across the entire state as of 20 minutes ago

54 right now with rain. the torrential rain is coming alter. The wind is awful though. People in the area are starting to lose power and trees are going down.

Between noon and 1pm, my power went on and off 3 times. Finally I called National Grid..

In a building of 75 apartments, I was the only one who called.. dam.. I know people are working, but there are still many people home...

The wind is really picking up; so is the rain.. glad for my new windows...

It's frigid in Chicago, in the single digits Fahrenheit, above and below 0. Everything is covered with snow and ice, and none of it is melting. It's simply nasty outside.

Yap, it's either snowing or freezing. I like winter but a brief heat wave would be welcome.

"Life-threatening" windchills, tomorrow through Wednesday. Yippee skippy.

Seven inches of snow last night then dropping down tonight to -24. After clearing the snow I threw out the acorns I gathered and froze last fall so that the squirrels have some extra food to get through the cold spell.

It snowed last night. It was in the 30's but the temperature is going to drop quickly. Hubby had to work today. I am off and plan on going nowhere until I have to work tomorrow afternoon. It is going to continue to get colder throughout the week. The cold temp on Wednesday could set a new record. My hubby thinks his office will close on Wednesday due to the record cold. I am worried about our garage door freezing and getting stuck since it is getting very noisy when it opens.

Yikes! Some of you are having awful weather! I almost hate to say this --we had a lovely day yesterday, 71º, sunny and warm. It was beautiful at the harbor.

We may have rain coming again this week, but so far it's sunny and 60º here today.

You might want to give the door runners a squirt of silicone spray. The noise means there isn’t enough lubricant in the moving parts. It probably won’t freeze up but just get even louder.

What type of Silicon Spray do you suggest? I have WD-40. Would that work? I also have cooking spray could that be useful?

Definitely not WD40 or cooking spray. Stop in a hardware store or Home Depot type store and ask for either silicone spray or garage door silicone spray.

I used WD 40 for several years but eventually had to replace the door and rails. The rails had become warped. The silicone spray will at least get you through the winter.

WD40 actually degreases rather than lubricating the rails unless you buy a special version of WD40 made specifically for garage doors. The silicon spray is pretty cheap, I just did all my door parts this summer.
