And....

Snow, Thunderstorms Black Out Thousands

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A broad storm system spread heavy snow across the Great Lakes region Tuesday and fired up violent thunderstorms that knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses in the Southeast. At least two deaths were blamed on the stormy weather....Utilities said about 42,000 homes and business lost electrical service across central Alabama early Tuesday. About 93,000 more were blacked out in northern Georgia, mostly in the Atlanta metropolitan area, said Georgia Power spokeswoman Carol Boatright.

Snow fell from Illinois to New England, with more than 6 inches on the ground by late morning in northern Indiana and Ohio. Up to a foot of snow was possible in parts of Ohio, the National Weather Service said. Schools were closed in parts of southern Michigan and northern areas of Indiana and Ohio, where the University of Toledo also closed for the morning. Some local government buildings closed in Ohio and the Akron zoo also closed for the day.

Everyone okay?

Cold rain here (NC) with some thunder this morning
Nothing major, I think it's all passing South of us

New Jersey has rain right now. Though I think it is supposed to shift into snow sometime later tonight.

I want the sun back, and spring to, well, spring forth.

God Damnit! Don't even mention snow and thunderstorms. The sun is shining and the weather is almost warm now after months of shitty, cold, rainy, icy crap.
