Curious, I thought you'd be getting pounded. -11c right now. The snow is very light, though.

Nope. It's actually sunny here right now. I'm guessing the snow will roll in later today.

Temperature is pretty similar up here. The wind is bitterly cold. We've had about 8" of snow here so far.

Sideways rain mixed with sea-spray?

Another grey miserable day here in the NE. I think this last 6 weeks it's rained more than it hasn't which is pretty unusual for this part of the world.
