We ended up with about 8 inches of wet snow yesterday and then some melted off. A couple more inches fell overnight and the trees are all covered again this morning. Our temperature right here is 21F and more snow and lower temps are predicted tonight and all day tomorrow and Thursday and Saturday.
Our resident Anna's Hummingbirds have been freaking out and they are all trying to dominate the 3 feeders we have up. I counted 5 at one feeder and none of them got to feed more than a second before being attacked. Silly buggers!

It snowed several inches on Christmas day and they're still cleaning that up. At my age, the ice bothers me more than the cold.
Around here they wouldn't know a snow plow from a candy cane. I'm not fond of the cold but I dread falling on the ice.

Thirty years or more ago I slipped and fell on my parents' icy driveway. I was heading out to do some wildlife photography in the snow and carrying my camera with a heavy 500mm telephoto lens. As I fell I guess I twisted to protect the camera, but I fractured 2 ribs. That pretty much ruined that holiday trip.

It will be interesting to see how much effect the record snow pack in the Cascades and Sierras will have on the drought and wildfire conditions that we have seen here in the western U.S. for the past 10 years or so. Here, west of the Cascades, we are getting lots of rain and the local creeks that I monitor for dragonflies have been running just below flood stage for the past month. 4.5+ inches of rain predicted for the first part of this week with 36 inches of snow predicted above 4000 feet elevation.

Re: 92F yesterday and 37F tonight in Texas
42F and really wet here, but I84 is closed through the Columbia River Gorge and they're expecting up to 18 inches of snow today, white out conditions.

Bomb Cyclone
I see a bomb cyclone is hitting the eastern U.S.
This really is the most best name for a winter storm!
