[Heddi]

12. Me too -- Clearwater, tho my coworkers are all in MD/PA/IL

and they're bemoaning their snow. Meanwhile, I'm about to turn on the AC because this afternoon's rain made it very muggy

[rurallib]

19. is there a Florida man joke in there i am missing?

[radical noodle]

30. Well...

I do live in an area full of retirees.

[sprinkleeninow]

32. Floridians are moaning and bemoaning 'cause it's hot, muggy and sticky down there

A transplanted New Englander and I do not miss tons of snow (but still am nostalgic about my stompin' grounds even after 32 years).

[gopiscrap]

8. are you talking about snow...or...something else that you measure by inches?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

[mnhtnbb]

We are getting rain--about half an inch tonight.

More tomorrow.

but COULD be 2-6 'depending!'

[fNord]

18. I'm predicting 7&1/2....

Once my boyfriend wakes up

[sarge43]

22. Saw what you did there - naughty. n/t

[Kimchijeon]

20. Had ours yesterday in MN

Soooooo Ready for spring.

[sarge43]

21. Central NH

A foot of snow - business as usual. I'm more concerned about the high winds - 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40. That could be a problem.

[UTUSN]

23. O.K., I didn't expect this, but now will expect In The Wind (without underscores)

[redwitch]

28. 12-18" of heavy wet snow.

I want spring so this makes me sad.

[C_U_L8R]

29. It's a Trump

A lot of wind and not many inches.

[58Sunliner]

31. Uncertain. Did not want a big storm this year.

[sakabatou]

33. Nothing until next week

[Rhiannon12866]

34. They're saying at least a foot - and here we were so ready for Spring!

[Rhiannon12866]

35. Every single school system in this part of the state announced they'd be closed as of last night

Nothing here yet, I'm in Northeastern New York. It was close to 60 last week and the last of it melted.

[sprinkleeninow]

36. How are you guys faring? We had a dusting early Sunday a.m., but nothing some models predicted.

However, the temps may go down to low 20's for three nites in a row. Strawberry and peach farmers are having a time.
We've gotten socked down here from time to time, but not as intense as what northerners get.
What about DC area and the cherry blossoms. Makes you quite sad.

[Rhiannon12866]

42. The entire area pretty much came to a standstill today

Everything was closed and we were warned to stay off the roads. Tomorrow doesn't look that promising, either. Lots of schools are still closed and most are experiencing a delay, starting late. It's not supposed to get above freezing until Friday...

[In_The_Wind]

37. It's still falling here. My guess is over 2 foot of snow now.

[Rhiannon12866]

43. I didn't leave the house today

But I kept up with the news and the roads were just awful, it was coming down so fast that the plows couldn't keep up. And those that were out said the visibility was poor. And tomorrow doesn't look like a big improvement, still a lot of cleanup to be done.

[sprinkleeninow]

48. Wrote a msg. very early a.m. today, screen reverted back to previous and msg. disappeared.

Was feeling for you with the nasty snow situation. Bummer. May this be it.

Saw on news little while ago cherry trees in DC got zapped and I gather people are extremely disappointed. It's gonna be 20-19° here tonite again. We had seventies and eighties highs the last few weeks. Strawberry and peach farmers are having a time.

My car got broken into and rifled thru looks like between yesterday and today. 'Someone' evidently didn't lock it back up after running it for charging the battery. My husband. I had to report it. I feel creepy and kinda violated that someone crossed that line. Numerous car break ins all over our area connecting towns and cities. Some vehicles actually stolen.
I keep nothing in it. Glove comp. was unlocked so at least it wasn't damaged by prying open.
I had a bad day.

Didn't mean to be a downer.

Stay safe. Be well. You're in my thoughts. 💛

[Rhiannon12866]

50. Yikes! I am so sorry!

Both that your car was broken into - and about the poor cherry trees. They are so lovely, though a lot fewer tourists will be coming to see them this year.

I went out today and they did a good job on the roads in most places, but the 10+ foot snowbanks are back, making it tough to make left turns. Even right turns were scary today. I try to stick to streets with traffic lights. *sigh*

You're fortunate that you keep nothing in your car, but I understand how you feel. I keep a lot in my car, but I've been fortunate. I live in a fairly rural/suburban area so my house would be tough to find even if you were looking for it.

Stay safe and stay warm!

[sprinkleeninow]

53. You be safe, warm and wonderful! ☕

[OriginalGeek]

39. my wife said she was expecting 6"

which is troubling as she is out of town for work. :/

[briv1016]

41. Phrasing?

[In_The_Wind]

44. We got lots of snow. The great news is we didn't lose power. All is well in my neighborhood.

I want to apologize to all of you for not updating this thread sooner.

I'm a bit under the weather myself, waiting for the lab work to confirm Lyme Disease before starting treatment. I've been sleeping a lot recently. I miss you guys.

49. You've been in my thoughts. Believing for you to be faring well after all is said and done.

💛

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

47. Phht. Not as many inches as predicted, and it didn't last very long either. nt

[Laffy Kat]

52. Meanwhile in Boulder, Co...

It's been in the high 70s. Not right. Not right at all.

[Skittles]

54. if I got 8" I would consider myself lucky

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

55. Phoenix,Az

No Inches. Temps in the 90s already.
