I almost can't remember when we had a week of no weather warnings. Today flood warning and wind, many roads are flooded , we have no power no big surprise there, then it is going to snow and getting extremely cold again
I could forecast the weather here: extremely bad, you might wish to relocate to another country far away

The sky is overcast with dark, brooding clouds, releasing a steady drizzle that taps rhythmically on the pavement. The wind howls through the trees, whipping the branches and sending leaves swirling in a chaotic dance at speeds of around 20 miles per hour.
Seems like the whole eastern half of the US is under a flood warning!! What a crazy poopie winter!!

Snowing. We only got a few inches over night. We have 4-5 feet on the ground now, more in places.
Had 2.5 inches of snow, got lucky and had little icing. Raining now but expected to ice up tonight.

At least 9 deaths blamed on powerful storm that toppled trees and flooded roads
At least nine people died as a powerful storm swept through Kentucky, causing flooding that inundated roads and homes, Gov. Andy Beshear said Sunday. Another person died in Georgia, an official there said.

Water levels reached historic highs in Kentucky as the storm gained momentum Saturday, officials said, two years after catastrophic flooding left 43 people dead and devastated parts of the state. Beshear on Sunday called the impact to the state “massive” and cited “hundreds of water rescues” and “multiple fatalities.”
Two more people were confirmed dead in Kentucky after a vehicle was swept away amid flash flooding around 10:30 p.m. Saturday in Hart County, according to a National Weather Service report.
And in Georgia, one person died in the Grove Park area of Atlanta overnight when a large tree fell on a home amid “tremendous thunderstorm activity” in the area, Atlanta Fire Capt. Scott Powell said Sunday. Fire units responded to a 911 call made just before 5 a.m. and found one person trapped inside the house, he said.
“There was an extended operation to remove that person. Unfortunately, it did result in a fatality,” said Powell.
Alabama town slammed by storm
The storm looks set to wane by Monday, but parts of the Great Lakes could be buried by lake-effect snow in its wake.
Structures in Tuscumbia, Alabama, including one of the city’s middle schools, lost their roofs from strong winds, according to the town’s mayor.
“There is a lot of damage downtown,” William Foster told CNN affiliate WAFF Sunday morning. Drones would arrive in the morning to assess the roofs and other damage caused by the storm, he said, while a team from the Red Cross would also be deployed.
“There were no calls about major injuries,” the mayor added.
“Most calls were for lack of power, oxygen.”
The city government posted a statement on Facebook warning that downtown Tuscumbia “was directly impacted” by the sweeping storm and asked residents to avoid the area.
CNN has reached out to the Tuscumbia Police Department and the Tuscumbia Utilities Department for more details.

So a decent day tomorrow before the poopie weather!! Tuesday has rain first then the artic front changing it to freezing rain! At least not much, but a little ice goes a long way! They are brining the roads here today! We are under an excessive cold watch for single digit temps and negative wind chills!! Not above freezing out my way until Friday! I moved my Wednesday and Thursday jobs to the weekend, even if the ice doesn't happen I am not going anywhere!!
It's cold but not freezing. It's been raining non-stop since before midnight last night. My arthritis has flared up and is complaining bitterly at me. At least with the rain a lot of the road salt is being rinsed off my car. So that's nice. I can live with all of the above. Sorry to hear about all the flooding that's been happening south and east of me.
Well brining comes before smoking then you can have a feast
Today was the first day we got up to freezing in ages. It didn’t last long though. We are supposed to be in the fifties by end of week 
Like roadkill??Well brining comes before smoking then you can have a feast

Well, for sure, we won't be walking the pups in such frigid temps!
They'll have to do their business in the back yard!

Pretty yucky! Not something many down here are ready to deal with! The plumbers will be working a lot of overtime fixing broken pipes!! At least we are not in for heavy ice accumulations like 2021. That was over TWO WEEKS of this cold and people couldn't leave their homes! Let's hope it comes and goes with no major impacts!!
