winter weather

If your morning was anything like mine today, your car was coated in Mother Nature's equivalent of a crisp candy shell. After wrenching the door open, blasting the defrost for a good 10 minutes, I could finally scrape the ice off the windshield enough to actually go somewhere. If only I'd seen this video earlier. This ingenious solution de-ices a windshield in literally seconds. Take a look: Read

A couple years ago I wrote about seeing people out in the winter in shorts. At the time, we were talking about normal winter weather - temperatures in the 30s. But I couldn't believe what I saw this morning when I was running errands.

For tomorrow, Friday the 20th, we already have a few schools reporting delayed openings due to the cold, do you think that schools should actually close for the cold?

Ok, this is cool! Let's continue today's theme of unusual ways to get through the snow. First, we had the cat who claws his way through a 4 foot high blockade, and now we have this - a Canadian train that couldn't care less about snow that's built up on the tracks.

We've managed to avoid major winter weather events so far this season, but it's looking like that is going to change as we get into the new work week.

With some winter weather expected this weekend, it may be one of those weekends where it's better to just hunker down at home and wait it out. So what do you do to pass the time when weather keeps you indoors?

Meteorologist Dan Zarrow says snow likely for us here at the Shore today.
