I'm not usually happy about snow but I'm looking forward to this today. :D

.

[midnight armadillo]

1. Except for that evening commute...

Nothing like Rt. 95 in heavy snow. Looks like I"m taking the back roads through Lexington...with my Swedish car (a saab) and snow tires I actually enjoy snow driving :)

[Breeze54]

7. The worst of it will be during the evening commute!

Be careful out there or leave work early!

I would leave work early if it was me but then again; I'm a chicken. :P

My car barely is 6 inches above the pavement so I don't want to drive in this.

Especially on Rt 95 at rush hour! Forgetaboutit! :D

[tinymontgomery]

2. No, we're having a drought.

Here in NC we're hoping for just a little rain.

[DangerDave921]

4. Baltimore

Chilly and drizzly in Baltimore. I would prefer snow.

Office X-mas party today at an Indian restaurant. Sounds yummy!

[Breeze54]

8. Wishing rain your way!

:(

NC and Georgia..

[MADem]

3. This couldn't happen at a worse possible time. It's really a bummer.

Our family was supposed to host some old friends this evening. Looks like that's gonna be a nonstarter. Oh well!!!

[Breeze54]

12. Hey, there's no snow storms for tomorrow!

:P

Maybe do it then before that Nor'easter hits on Saturday.

[hedgehog]

5. My husband is supposed to catch a flight out of Newark tonight.

I noticed that the first leg of the flight, Nashville to Newark, is already cancelled this morning.

This storm looks like it might pass 20 miles south of traditional Central New York snow belt.

[Breeze54]

11. I'll bet his flight tonight will be cancelled as well.

Maybe that'll be a good thing? Maybe he should reschedule it.

[whistler162]

129. Yup...

It came down the thruway belt, verses coming across Lake Ontario and down I-81. I hate when that happens. At least it is light and looks to be clearing to the west so when I leave work at 1AM it shouldn't be to bad.

Syracuse Area

[SoCalDem]

6. No, but I AM getting wi-fi and a new dual-tuner Dish PVR today.

so I am a happy camper :)

[Breeze54]

14. You lucky stiff!!

I guess that means you won't be on DU for a month or so? :P

Enjoy it! :hi:

[SoCalDem]

27. My old cable modem is dying..and my old PVR "decides" for me

which shows I should watch and drops the ones I want to watch later :grr:.. One night I went to bed with 50 "stored" shows (including the whole "War" series)..and the next morning? Nada...Zilch..Zippo..Kaput !!

They did a service upgrade Nov 1, and since my machine was a first generation one, it did not take kindly to the "upgrade" so they are giving me a new one.. I would not be getting it if I had to pay extra :)

[shadowknows69]

9. Looks like its creeping its way up to me

Hibernation time.

[Breeze54]

15. That's what I'm doing! I have food, booze and rock salt !

I'm all set! :P

[hedgehog]

19. I can't tell if it's going to hit us up here or not. I keep getting warnings

ut the prediction is for 4 to 6 inches and the maps show the storm passing just south of Syracuse. There may be some rough driving on 81 and 481 for a few hours just as the storm passes through due to snow fall rates.

[shadowknows69]

24. I just noticed you're in Fulton hedgehog

Watertown here. Upstate represent!!

[hedgehog]

29. I remember one winter some ten years or so back where it kept snowing

with no thaws in between. You needed a periscope to drive around here because so much snow was piled up at intersections! I wondered at the time if Watertown was still there because at that point you guys had an accumulation of 10 feet!

[Atman]

10. My wife just happens to have tomorrow off...Vermont, here we come!

We've got cheap lift tix to Mt. Snow for Friday, so we were going to go anyway; now it looks like we'll be driving up to some serious freshies! I'm so stoked...barely the middle of December and I've already ridden 3 times and two of 'em were on nice powder. This is going to be AWESOME!

.

[Breeze54]

17. Sounds like a great idea! This snow will be powder too!

I just remembered my son has a ski trip coming up next week so all this snow should help!

Have fun!! :D

[NavyDavy]

13. that sucks for me I work for an airline and we are going to get pounded

with angry pax...you know we control the weather and all :crazy:

i would love to have some of the snow here in southern NM my daughter never seen more than a dusting of snow....

[Breeze54]

20. You should take her to see some for Xmas!

People don't understand if it gets delayed in the east it also delays all over the US!

Hang in there! :thumbsup:

There's two storms back to back here...so you'll be having a great weekend! :P

[NavyDavy]

25. thanks appreciate it.....i was thinking of taking up northern NM

to some of the mountains and letting her play around in it for a while then head back to the desert hehe

[Marrah_G]

23. I feel for you

My guy works at Logan, so I know what a bitch bad weather is for you guys. Fortunately he has today off!

[NMDemDist2]

47. we got 3 " just over the hill from you on Thanksgiving, today the ice is thick

on the car and foggy as all get out

it should clear off in a couple hours though..

[Patsy Stone]

16. No. It's 80 here.

Greetings from sunny Florida! :hi:

[Breeze54]

22. LOL! Well; I like it when it's 80 and when it snows!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

49. Me too!

In fact, a change in scenery would be nice.

[maine_raptor]

18. I'm right behind ya.

Supposed to get hit late Sat and into Sunday up here. Already have 2 feet on the ground from the last storm.

Snow thrower and generator fueled - check.
Shovels handy - check.
Plenty of propane on hand for the portable heater and stove - check.
Food stocked - check.

Only remaining thing to do is to make sure the garage roof is shoveled off.

[Breeze54]

26. We're getting that Sat/Sun Nor'easter too!

We'll be in it together, maine_raptor! :hi:

I'm all set too. Food etc. on hand, did all that yesterday.

And rock salt and two shovels and a teen to do the work! :P

[maine_raptor]

34. No teen handy, just the wife and I.

And the cats just can't handle a shovel right.

I stay away from rock salt. Does a number on the walkway and is very bad for the lawn come spring.

Speaking of which:

I live on the top of a hill (town road so plowing out is not a problem)overlooking a large pond. Last year a guy "from away" bought some of the shore line below me and built a million dollar home (just finished it this summer). The way the ditching works is that the melt runs down the hill and into a cross ditch on the main road (his house is on the other side of the road. Last winter was not a big one, only had a couple of storms and never had more than 6 inches on the ground at any one time. This year looks to be a typical winter where by spring we'll have 4-6 feet of the stuff sitting there by the time it starts to melt (snow banks along our road are already 4+ feet high). That being the case, Mr. "Away" is gong to get a surprise along about April.

[Breeze54]

40. LOL! Get 'kitty shovels'!

I'm really not sure if what I bought is rock salt ...it's called Ice Melt. I needed some
bad though and there wasn't any in town here. I found a stash at a convenience store and
bought it before it was gone and before I fell on my ass chopping ice off my car! :P

Your new neighbor is in for a rude awakening! :hi:

[Marrah_G]

21. I love the snow, hate driving in it

Hopefully I can get home before it's bad, but from the forecasts it looks like my drive home (4pm) will be the worst time.

My boss's flight in from Tampa is due around 5...somehow I think it's going to be late.

[Breeze54]

31. You should bail out well before 4 PM if you have a ways to go.

The height of the storm is supposed to be at rush hour.

All the schools are already posting closings on all the TV channels.

1 to 2 1/2 hour early releases.

Your boss will not be landing at 5 PM! :P Bet on it!

:hi: Marrah!

[Marrah_G]

38. I might bail early.

Still checking to see if my kids have early release.

:hug:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

28. Hey, in NJ...

I live just a smidge down and to the left of that Rt. 80 shield, in the top picture, and we are getting 5-8. Fucking winter wonderland time.

Which means that if the past is prologue, my two computer UPS's will be getting a workout. Power and Light doesn't spend much on infrastructure out here. The auto accidents ought to start any moment now, too. Sadly, the days of skillful and intrepid winter drivers are gone. Now, it's just an army of people, in vehicles, who wait near a tree or utlility pole for the signal, then they drive into their designated obstacle. Seemingly all at once.

On edit: At times like these, I always recommend this slick and FREE program. Best weather program. Hands down. When I worked for Don Law, doing outdoor concerts back in the late 80's, we would have given our eye teeth for this thing:

http://www.tropicdesigns.net/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=1

[Breeze54]

32. I edited to add NJ!

;)

People driving SUV's with four wheel drive think that it's like a trucks 4 wheel drive
and they have a lot of accidents in these storms. Also people without snow tires and just
plain idiots who don't know how to drive in the snow.

My local news said that it looks like snow over NY & NJ but it wasn't hitting the ground yet. :shrug:

[LostinVA]

72. It started really snowing about 30 minutes ago and there's already at least an inch

Before that, it was sleeting like crazy for a bit.

[Breeze54]

75. That must be why

they're worried about cars on the road here too.

With sleet & ice under the snow... that can't be good, especially at rush hour!

An inch in 30 minutes?? :wow: Keep warm and thanks for the update! :hi:

I heard Poughkeepsie was getting hit hard right now...snowing really heavy there.

[LostinVA]

89. Snow and ice now

Not looking forward to the commute.

[cali]

30. I don't really pay any attention unless it's over a foot

it snows all the time where I live- well not all the time, but a hell of a lot of it.

[Breeze54]

35. Yeah...Riigghhhtt!

I know you pay attention to it. I've read your posts.

But you got dumped on last week in Maine.

We're getting it this week and we both are getting it on Saturday.

[cali]

50. huh? I don't live in Maine

I live in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. It's been snowing for the last 4 days on and off, and that's quite ordinary. We've picked up about 8 to 10 inches in that time. Not a big deal. A foot? Bigger deal. 18 inches or more? Very big deal.

[Breeze54]

57. Well; I knew you were up there somewhere.

8 - 10 inches is a big deal in populated area's. Even in Vermont.

Unless you don't want the skiers coming up there!

[Ian David]

33. Yep. Getting snow. If you don't hear back from me by tonight...

look for my car at the bottom of a cranberry bog.

Fucking snow.

[Breeze54]

36. Ok...will do. Tie a balloon to your antenna!

:P

Hope you'll be safe in your travels today, IanDB1

It won't be that bad...maybe, if the plows keep up.

Drive slow and be safe.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

39. Is that Irish Bar...

"The Embassy" still on the outskirts of Brockton? If it is, go there and wait the storm out. If not, head over to Norton and wait it out at Wendell's. The buffalo wings are guaranteed to keep you good and warm. ;-)

[Ian David]

[elocs]

37. Nothing to "woohoo" about snow when you understand the ramifications of a storm.

Yes, all that fun snow will kill and injure people in car accidents and others will die or be hurt just shoveling it. People's roofs will be damaged and there will be other property damage and inconvenience. We need it for the moisture it provides, but I see nothing to celebrate about a snow storm.

[Breeze54]

43. Why would roofs be damaged? I like snow and so do the ski resorts!

Snow isn't going to cause property damage unless someone doesn't keep their house repaired!

If that was the case, then houses in New England wouldn't be standing for as long as they do.

Many people like to ski and snowboard or just look at it! It's pretty!! ;)

[Clark2008]

41. Haven't seen more than a dusting since the Blizzard of '93.

And, I'm actually quite tired of that. We need a good snow here in East Tennessee.

[Breeze54]

45. No snow in the near future coming?

Maybe you'll get some this weekend! :hi:

[abluelady]

42. It's Still Summer in Central VA

Was 75 degrees here this week. Doubt we'll get any snow at all this winter! :>(

[Breeze54]

46. Is that unusual for VA?

I thought you guys got snow all the time in the winter.

Maybe you're to far south? :shrug: You can come play in ours! :P

[Mist]

53. It's 53 degrees now, and might go up to 75 today! nt

[Vinca]

44. OMG - IT'S THAT CLOSE????

Now leaving to go to the grocery store before it hits.

[Breeze54]

48. It'll start snowing around 1 PM... Good luck at the store!

:P

I did that yesterday because I just KNEW it would be a nightmare there this morning!!

Better hurry! Almost all the bread was gone when I got there last night!

Which reminds me..... I didn't get any. I'll send my son after he wakes up.

The hell with me going! I have bagels! :P

[Tracer]

51. Time to haul out the snow blower!

Or ... the little "snow thrower" ... a Toro electric that works like a charm, and wasn't awfullly expensive either. It's light weight, maneuverable, and tosses the snow at least 30 feet.

And no, I don't work for Toro.

[Breeze54]

56. Those are cool! My friend lent me one one time.

It worked like a charm! I mentioned last night about my shoveling my car out today after the snow
and my son looks at me and says; "You shoveling the snow? Don't you mean ME?!" But then he laughed
and said; "Don't worry about it! You just make the hot chocolate." I have a big, strong teenager
and a shovel! LOL! So, I'm not worried about it. Besides, the workout will be good for him! ;)

[radfringe]

52. 7-10 for me in PA

other national reports saying 5-8... local weather is saying 6-9, I guess they are splitting the difference... ennywho - all I can say is "too much"

we're just north west of Wilkes-barre... about below the "S" in Wilkes-Barre on this map



on edit: started out as sleety type snow around 7:30, turned over to snow by 8ish - coming down heavy right now, have close to 2 inches on the ground

[Breeze54]

59. Thanks for the update! We only have clouds right now...

I think Connecticut be will getting the most accumulation, according to the reports. But my area
says up to ten inches possible, so we'll see. It changes all the time, it seems. And you know they
can be off by miles. Where I am, I'm right on the edge between the 6-8" and the 6-10".

Stay warm! Make a snowman! :P

[ellie]

54. No snow here

in NW Ohio, but freezing rain. Again.

[postulater]

55. We had that one in Wisconsin two days ago.

Some had bad icing, we are a bit north and had six inches of nice powdery stuff on top of eight or so from before.

My daughter loved snowshoeing around in our woods.

[seabeyond]

58. bummer bummer bummer. i want..... lol. last 4, 5 days, promises

fallen short. all we got was brrrrrrr cold and no snow.

[mnhtnbb]

60. We need RAIN. Exceptional drought in NC

Some areas have less than 60 days water supply in reservoirs. Looks like we may only get showers from this storm.

[Breeze54]

63. I hope you get drenched!

You guys sure need it! :(

[debbierlus]

73. Here's a raindance coming your way!

:woohoo: Rain Rain Rain Rain :loveya: Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

RAIN

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

C'MON & RAIN DOWN

:hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts:

YOU CAN DO IT SKY

RAIN!

[mnhtnbb]

79. YES! LOL.

[jmg257]

61. YES! Bugging out early, and holing up with the family, some eggnog, and some movies! Woohoo! nt

[Breeze54]

62. Movies sound like a great idea! I'm waiting for the gas company...

We don't have any heat downstairs... but I do upstairs so I'm not worried.

Have fun in the snow!! :woohoo: A day off for you! Make a !

[bdamomma]

64. a Nor Easter is coming!!

hey breeze54 sounds like you like the snow!!!!!!! it's pretty when it comes down but terrible to drive in. Stay warm you guys.

[Marrah_G]

65. They are a bitch !

[Breeze54]

68. Hey Marrah, the weather person on Channel 7

just said that with this storm (mixed with freezing rain?) the roads are going to be very slick
and that the heaviest snow will be at 3 PM to 7 PM (2 "'s an hour- white out conditions) and
Rhode Island may get a foot of snow! She said if you can leave work early then do it.

[Marrah_G]

77. Bleh, I am in the Mass/ri line

probably looking at a foot or so. If I can leave early I will, or I may stay late instead. Kids are being dismissed at noon.

[Breeze54]

81. Hi Alyce!

I like the snowstorms! :P I just don't like cleaning up after it!

We need a good snow here. We're also on even/odd watering days here.

When it's all white on the ground before the plows get to it and make

a mess... it does looks pretty! :)

:hi:

[I work for workers]

66. I made it to work, with only an extra 30 minutes commute.

Only to find out I could go home. I should have remembered my cell phone.

[Breeze54]

69. Don't you just hate that? Are you going to stay anyway?

If you have a long commute, then head home before 2 PM!!

Then have fun! :D

Welcome to DU, 'I work for workers'! :hi:

[I work for workers]

115. Thanks for the welcome!

I stuck around for an hour and got some work done, but I'm home now.

[AllieB]

67. Normally we're in the snow belt in the Merrimack Valley

Apparently we're getting less accumulation this time, according to the weatherman. I'm at work in the city and will be hopping on the train home in the early afternoon. :-) Normally, I dismiss the storm hype, but for some reason I believe them this time.

[Breeze54]

70. I believe them too and they seem to have ratcheted down

the rhetoric this time. Maybe they got a lot of complaints about that.

But this looks like a massive storm! It's coming all the way from Cleveland!

Maybe they just want people off the roads because it's hitting at rush hour.

Good you don't have to drive in it! :hi:

[debbierlus]

71. I am in Western MA - I LOVE snow this time of year

I love snow in the Christmas season. I just put our tree our tree up yesterday. I am going to make a big pot of turkey
soup & I have a fresh loaf of bread. I will probably take my Eskies for a run up at a local preserve later.

This weekend looks like we could get walloped.

And, don't anybody complain to me about driving & shoveling. I just completely totaled my truck last week in a storm & I have a long
driveway I shovel, myself. I know the downfalls! But, if it is going to come, why not enjoy the beauty & wonder of it.

Nothing like a good snowstorm!

[Breeze54]

74. Me too, especially this time of year and we hardly ever have a white Christmas!

I love the smell of the air when it snows and love watching it blow around in the wind. :D
I love the way it looks on the tree's and before the plows get to it. It's also quieter
here with all the cars off the roads. ;) It's not snowing here yet but it will be soon...
I have to make a last store run and then I'm in for the rest of the day. I hope you didn't
get hurt when you crashed your truck. :( Have fun at the park! :hi:

[debbierlus]

76. It seems we only have a White Christmas about half the time here...

This year is looking GOOD!

(Thanks, btw. I didn't get hurt in the accident. I was shocked when they told me it was a total loss because the truck didn't look
that bad. But, apparently the undercarriage was totaled by a huge rock that destroyed everything in the entire front! Good thing, though. It slowed me down. I went down the embankment to a river. Oh, well. After twenty odd years of driving in storms, I am lucky I wasn't injured)!

[Breeze54]

78. Good thing the rock was there!

It may have saved your life. That sounds like a pretty bad accident. Glad you're OK!

I just ran to the store and I couldn't find a parking space, in the middle of the day, no less!
The place is packed with 5 and 6 people in line at each register. Glad I did that last night! :P

[robcon]

80. Snow just got heavy here in Westchester County, NY.

I'm just on the border of the area that may/may not have the snow turn to rain later. It's hard to call how many inches will stick - but it looks threatening now.

[Breeze54]

82. The skies are getting a darker here too but

I haven't seen one snowflake yet. But it's still early...

We have at least an hour before it'll start here and 3 hrs.

before the heavy stuff gets here.

Is Westchester County, NY. near Poughkeepsie?

[Blue_In_AK]

83. No snow here, damn it....

Maybe an inch or so a couple days ago, but it's looking like a green (or brown) Christmas in Anchorage. It really sucks.

[Breeze54]

86. What?!? I thought you guys always got snow!

Sounds strange to me! I'm sure you will be getting some though... right?

Weather report just said NY, CT and RI are getting hit pretty hard right now.

Snowing really heavy there. I'd stay off RT. 84 and RT. 95, if I were them!

He said the visibility is down to a quarter of a mile.

[Blue_In_AK]

103. We had about 8 inches early in November

but then it warmed up and melted most of it. The little bit we got on Tuesday was the first snow in five or six weeks, and since the temp was still around 35 much of it didn't stick or turned into slush. We have none forecast for the next week.

I think they've gotten quite a bit more on the other side of the mountains, on the Prince William Sound side, but over here it's looking pretty bleak.

[MANative]

84. Already snowing here in Danbury CT

Good burst started about 15 minutes ago - about 1/2 an inch on the ground. Local forecast says to expect 10 inches in our neighborhood. Thank goodness for newly repaired snowblowers!:woohoo:

[Breeze54]

88. You guys are getting the most, they're saying!

Good thing for snowblowers! ;)

You're snow is supposed to be wetter than up here and more of it.

Stay warm! :hi: Hope you don't have to drive.

[MANative]

99. Oh joy!

:sarcasm:

I'm working from my home office today, so no driving for me, but hubby manages a pharmacy, and it doesn't close until 9:00pm. He'll be driving home in some nasty stuff - hopefully it will have tapered off by then so they can clear the roads. I have two very warm and fluffy kitties who are determined not to let mommy work today - but oh, the joys of having a ready fur blanket!!

:hi:

[Mountainman]

85. No snow here in Santa Barbara, CA and I am glad of it. I hope we might make it into the 70's this

weekend so I can have a nice round of golf. It it hits the 80's it will be the beach instead.

[Breeze54]

91. I'd be worried if you had snow! LOL!

Have fun at the beach! :hi:

[kineneb]

101. sunny and cold (40F) in NorCal hills

there is a reason I live here: I do not shovel snow.

Yes, I am a native-born California Weather Wuss.

[havocmom]

87. Clear and dry in Western Dakota. A bit chilly at 22, but it's ABOVE zero, so it's all good.

:evilgrin:

I 'spect it will cloud up tomorrow evening cuz that seems to happen when there is a meteor shower
to view. x(

If y'all get a break in the cloud cover by tomorrow (and can get your doors open), prime viewing time: Friday, 11:45 P.M. EST

[Breeze54]

90. I see snowflakes!!!! --- Ooooh! I love meteor showers!

Thanks for the heads up! It should be clear skies here on Friday! I'll take a look!

It's 26 degree's where I am. Pretty cold with the wind.

:hi:

[Goblinmonger]

102. Do you live in the real Dakota

or South Dakota?

[havocmom]

133. West of Dakota

Thus the pet name. ;)

[Dulcinea]

92. Freakishly warm in the Atlanta suburbs.

We've had record highs in the mid-70s all week!

But we're in such a severe drought that we'd kill for rain...or snow. There's a 30% chance of rain today...please, please rain....

[Breeze54]

94. I wish I could send some of this snow down your way, Dulcinea!

I'm :bounce: for rain for you! :D

:hi:

[Lex]

93. 68 degrees & sunny here.

Send rain.

[Breeze54]

96. Here's the best I can do!

Hope you get some relief soon! :hi:

You should see outside my window. There were just one or two flakes
a few minutes ago and now it's falling thick and fast!!

95. Consider yourselves lucky if it stays all snow!

Easier to deal with than the ice storm that came through the Midwest on Monday night/Tuesday...we just got a relatively glancing blow compared to Oklahoma and Kansas, and there were still plenty of people without power around here for a day or two. Ice storms are just atrocious to deal with...

[Breeze54]

97. We had the same ice storm! We just got thawed out yesterday.

It was so icy here, every store ran out of ice melt!
"Ice storms are just atrocious to deal with.."
I hear you! Been there, done that!

Now it's snowing furiously and it's early.

It wasn't supposed to be like this until 3 PM!

98. The Mass/RI Eastern Border

It's 12:40 and it's already snowing VERY heavily.

Not sure if I am going to leave early or not, I really need the cash for christmas. Damn... Why couldn't it wait until Tonight dammit!

[Breeze54]

100. It's coming down really fast here too... pics...

I just took these about 10 minutes after it started snowing... yikes!

It's going to pile up fast... not a slow one this time! We're getting it all at once!





At 12:13 PM (first snowflakes) my driveway was black hard top and I took these at about 12:25 PM!

[Breeze54]

105. Took this pic at 1:35 PM.... an hour later... looks like an inch or so accumulation

Cars are moving wicked slow and no plows or sanders in sight yet.

[rocktivity]

106. Sounds like there's a skier in the house, LOL

We're getting sleet in the Newark NJ metro area. But as a skier, I have to control my delight when it really snows.

:bounce;

[Breeze54]

107. Yeah, he loves it !! He loves

going really fast downhill! :P He'll be having fun, that's for sure!

A whole group of friends are renting a cabin together. ;)

We have snow and lots of it coming down! Looks nice!

I'll pass on the sleet, thank you very much!

[Cha]

108. What you think?

In New York, here? I'm over here by Utica, New York.

Are ya happy cause there's a snow day? I have to walk(snowshoe) to work a little later but it'll be fun. :)

[Breeze54]

110. Hell yeah, I'm happy! I'm not out there!

:P

I'm having a nice cold beverage and it's warm and cozy inside! :P
We have Chinese food leftover from last night and my son finally
got a day off from work, so we're happy as two pea's in a pod!

You need Snowshoes?? I have some but I rarely use them. Have a blast! :D

[iamthebandfanman]

109. lucky!

i wish i was getting all that snow! we havent gotten much the last few years at all! i miss it sooo much!
i hear we are suppose to get 1-3 over the weekend tho, but you know how that goes... could not even happen. lol.
snow is SO peaceful!
i love to go stand outside when theres a heavy snow falling... it almost makes everything around you go silent and all you can hear are the snow flakes!
did i mention i love snow ?

haha

[Breeze54]

112. Hey, it was snowing to the left and now it's snowing right!

:P

But it looks awesome!! :D

I may go outside and stand in it; as soon as the traffic dies down.

I love all of the same, iamthebandfanman! It's a cheap high!

Ooh! I hear a snowplow... go away!! ;)

[Nutmegger]

111. I LOVE snow!

And I can't wait to go skiing!

[Breeze54]

113. You better like it! LOL!

You're getting a lot of it today!

The time to go skiing is tomorrow! ;)

[radfringe]

114. just got done shoveling

4-5 inches so far, another 4-5 before it's over and we get to do this all over again this weekend with a nor'easter coming in

[Breeze54]

117. It looks like about 3 inches here but I've just been

dealing with the Gas Company.

I get soooo pissed off at men that know everything and tell me I'm wrong!!

I WAS RIGHT, asshole!!!

A zone valve WAS broken and my diagnosis that the wiring on that valve was
a shitty wiring job was also correct!! The broken valve was hot as hell to
the touch due to a broken wire! I could have had a fire here! :grr:

He put in new one and the heats coming up now. Problem solved.

It's snowing here to beat the band.

This weekend should be a real pip! Ugh!

:hi:

[Breeze54]

116. Gheesh! The traffic in Beantown isn't even moving and it's bumper to bumper....

People waited way to long to head home and they're reporting some now running out of gas. :eyes:
Traffic is backed up and really heavy on 95 in the B-Town beltway. Trains are all delayed
on the Franklin (missed the name of the other line)... Hartford, CT. already has 6 inches
on the ground... and the gas Company finally got here and are saying they don't "see" a problem. :eyes:

Uh, no heat IS a problem, moran!!!!

[Breeze54]

118. Ok...two more update pics but my flash/batteries died...

My car


The other car


We only have about 4 inches or so... but I can hear sleet hitting what is on the ground.

The Pike and RT. 95 are at a virtual crawl. Glad I'm not out there!

Possibly, from what I'm hearing on the news right now... heavier snowfall is on the way.

[Blaze Diem]

119. Near 50 today & tomorrow w/chance of rain - Dallas

Sunny & warm..but been chilly this week. Took my granddaughter for a walk earlier, she always falls asleep in the stroller. Snow is pretty & have great memories of it, but also have memories of miserable cold and scraping ice from the windshield & those bitter Northern winds across the prairie. Don't miss that part. But no snow angels in Dallas either.
Be careful & stay warm.
Merry Christmas.

[Breeze54]

123. Merry Christmas to you too! ~ Thanks!

:D

. .

It looked nice out here earlier but now it's dark, so I can't really see anything.

It seems to be slowing down some, last I looked, although it will be snowing for

the next 3 hours. I hate the ice scraping too but it has to be done! :P

It sounds like you had a nice day with your grand daughter! :hi:

[Bombero1956]

120. I hate the stuff

after 51 winters I don't care if I ever see another snowstorm. Sure some folks enjoy it but for the most part they don't have to plow it or shovel it. If it rained instead it wouldn't hurt my feelings.

[Breeze54]

121. After 53 winters, I still love the first 'real' snowfall !

I have to shovel it everytime! :P But it's ok... it just gets old after it's day after day

of snowfall but that hasn't been happening that much here in the last few years.

This snow is powder so not that bad. We can take it! It's the heavy stuff that sucks!

[CottonBear]

122. No. It's 72 degrees and we're having a historic drought in NE Georgia.

We MIGHT get some rain on Saturday. It hasn't rained for weeks. :( Please send us some snow! :)

We are on a total outdoor watering ban and are conserving indoors (residents, businesses, institutions and industires) like crazy.

If it snows here, it usually happens in the winter months of February and March. I'd love a nice snowstorm but it is sort of dangerous because so many people here are not used to driving in snow if any happend to stick to the roads.

[Breeze54]

124. I feel bad for you all, CottonBear ...

I think the whole country is hoping you get rain soon and lots of it! :(

:hug:

If I could send some of this your way, I would.

But, in the meanwhile, here's a snowman just for you!

[CottonBear]

125. Thank you! n/t

[Bombero1956]

126. tell you what

I hereby donate my share of cold frozen snow to anybody who's going through a drought. All you have to do is come and get it.

[Breeze54]

128. lmao!

They can have mine too, if they want! :P

The fun of watching it snow outside my window is over, now that it's dark.

[MadHound]

127. No, actually we're thawing out

Thank goodness! Saw the sun for the first time in almost a week today. The ice on the trees and lines and everywhere else is thawing and falling, it has sounded like a hail storm as one inch thick shards of ice plummeted down. Really quite cool. hope we get more tomorrow.

[Breeze54]

130. Are you in Kansas or Oklahoma? - Glad you're thawing out finally!

You must be so happy you're coming out of that deep freeze!! Brrr!!

It's 23 here but with the storm, it feels like 14 degree's.

I'm cold.

I've had the windows cracked slightly. Time to close them all up!

Hope you don't have any damage from all that ice! :hi:

[MadHound]

131. Very happy to be coming out of the deep freeze

I live in Mid Missouri, and had around an inch or more of ice come down over the past five days. This storm was slow and stubborn and didn't leave graciously, we got a nasty case of freezing fog last night. I've got some big tree limbs down, and a limb hung up on a wire, but thankfully I haven't lost electricity. I figure sometime tomorrow or Saturday the electric company will come by to cut the limb off. My orchard didn't take any sort of fatal damage, though a couple of trees will be slowed up a bit.

All in all, I rode it out OK. Just south of me they really got nailed. There was a swath of homes north of Jefferson City about thirty miles long with no power for days. Fulton Missouri looks like a tornado came through.

If you want firewood cheap, bring a truck and a saw. However there are some pieces that fell that are really gnarly, literally. Interesting enough to make something in the woodshop.

Enjoy your snow, stay warm and safe. I'll see what I can do sending you some warmer weather when we get done with it.

[Breeze54]

132. It's still snowing here and my car is buried....

I believe we got 9 inches of SNOW! :P

And it's still snowing... The snowbanks are up about 3 feet and we actually have some drifting!

But it looks mighty pretty outside and I haven't heard ONE CAR go by in at least two hours!!

Silence Is Golden! :P

[radfringe]

134. snow total in my backyard - about 8 inches

went out around 1pm yesterday to shovel, then again around 5pm... snow had pretty much stopped by then

get a break in the weather today - then do it all over again this weekend..
