Expected overnight here as it makes landfall likely just N of West Palm Beach area as a Cat 1 Hurricane- already strong storm surge ahead of it. Then crossing NW toward Tampa and up into Georgia etc.
Problem is so many areas still waterlogged or damaged from Ian and so Nicole's 75+ mph winds with another potential 6+ inches of rain and surge coinciding with high tide - the coast is suffering.
Thankfully it is moving faster, so hopefully less flooding inland

Hope we keep power on!

Still very very windy and rain squalls but we are safe and still have power. Should begin to improve now that eye has passed us.

I see bad weather over there. Snow storms, tornadoes etc..

I hope everyone is dealing well. If it's not drought, it's floods and if it's not snow, it's a heatwave.

It's a heatwave here and I'm melting.

I read in the news that down south here in Australia it's going to be cold and maybe some places will have snow for Christmas.

How nice for them.

Honestly, I feel as if anything above the Tropic of Capricorn just doesn't exist for journalists. It's been flooding terribly down south in Australia. Just shocking flooding on a massive proportion and so the news keeps saying it's going to stop raining in Australia and La Nina will go away. It's not raining in the tropics yet. No monsoon yet. The ground is dry. In fact, it's a long drawnout heatwave in the tropics. Night time temperatures are the same as day time temperatures. Bodies can't revitalise. Things are melting. The shampoo is hot. The ground water is even hot. I keep having to put water out for the birds and wildlife but I have to run the hose for 20 minutes before it's cool enough to put in the baths.

Well, take care everyone. I just had to vent a little about the weather.

News reports for those experiencing the worst of this arctic "bomb cyclone" are indicating power loss in many areas now.
Thinking of everyone in extreme cold (and the animals too) as we prepare for our temps here in FL to fall below freezing overnight, with more of the same till Monday!
Even south Florida has a "falling Iguanas" alert!

Good grief. Keep warm. had a look at Oregon weather the other day and couldn't believe it. I was telling someone else here how I was over there in 98 at this same time of year and there was just a tiny dusting and how pretty it all was etc. etc.. Next day I saw how much snow had begun to fall. It was unreal. Only time I ever saw falling snow was that year. I hope our friend bizi is ok driving through all that on the holiday trip. Doesn't look safe enough. Yikes.

keep safe everyone. I feel for all of you with pain. I couldn't deal with it if cold. I wonder how the homeless survive. sigh

In NW Oregon, pretty chilly, 27 degrees @ mid day...weird ice/snow mix making frozen layers of slippery stuff.
West of Portland we are getting less of the strong and very cold east winds this time.
Traffic is light, most are staying home since it looks to be only a 2-3 day event for here.
The Pacific coast effect moderates a bit for us compared to Central and Eastern USA.
That huge sag of extremely cold temps from Canada is crazy.. How much area it covers and the whole size of it .

Also in NW Oregon and can only echo what Jomar said.

The building I'm in runs on electricity, and so it gets cold here pretty fast if the power fails. Yesterday the power went out twice--9 hours and then 3. It was a cold night for me, and now I'll be replacing quite a lot of food in my fridge because I understand it's not safe to keep some dairy items more than 4 hours unrefrigerated.

Nobody is going into or out of this building. I took a few looks at the parking lot/entrance area and see no vehicle tracks in the snow. Everyone is staying put.

I hope Instacart might be able to make it through by tomorrow afternoon so I can get replacement dairy items.

This building should have a backup generator but doesn't. It's a 4-story building, and there are people on the upper floors who can't use the stairs. Everyone here is a retiree, and there are over 60 of us, some people well over 90, some quite disabled.

The office is open only on weekdays during office hours. There's nobody from the staff here otherwise, but there's a number we can call in an emergency.
