I am sitting here, looking out and not seeing a speck of the white stuff. Then I look and find that Texas has it, and other points to the south of me. What is going on here! :confused:

Feel free to mark it return to sender, maybe they can get it delivered correctly this time.
 
I heard that Indy and Cinci were getting total storm of the century today...you mean my sister is lying and faking out my parents...she told us it was bad weather and they couldnt make the drive...

I really wonder if its just because she hates my guts...
 
Well I live in Cinti and I can tell you that it is snowing like crazy. If you want some of it in IN you are welcome to come take some. ;) My wife and I went out to finish our Christmas shopping (had to get my nephew a knife :D ) and it took us over 45 minutes to make a drive that usually takes 15. I hope it stops soon enough that I can get down to see my family on Christmas eve.

The good thing is that my puppy got his first real taste of snow today, and I do mean taste. He didn't want to have anything to do with it until I shoved him out in the yard.
 
Part of it has emigrated illegally to the Lammermuir Hills near Edinburgh where I spotted it on Monday.

No snow here, but we have about an inch of sleet on the roadways if you want some of that. I've already had to pull a Dennis Quaid (Day After Tommorow reference, incidentally that is one unintentionally hillarious movie) and hike to the local bar to recovcer my fiancee's car. It took me longer to drive it back than it did to hike there and retrieve it. Truly nasty weather here.
 
I don't know about snow but it was so cold around here last weekend that a couple of polar bears broke out of the zoo and went back to Canada to warm up.
 
We had a nice layer of sleet earlier this week, which then turned to snow. Shoveling my driveway was a slippery event. Now it's just plain cold. Sniff...sniff...sniff...I hate snotcycles...:eek: :grumpy: :D
 
I just went to the front door to take some trash out and the thing is frozen shut. I love freezing rain. Glad I'm off tonight.
 
Well, recived only a portion of it this evening. Wasnt bad enough, I was able to make it home. The reason that wasnt bad enough, it means I can make it to work tommorow night. :(
 
Well I wish you would have gotten the damn stuff. It snowed all day long yesterday then turned to freezing rain about 7:00PM. Freezing rain all night and its still going right now at 6:15AM. The radio keeps switching back and forth between saying we are under level II and III snow emergencys, and I'm supposed to go deliver hay and straw to the racetrack (thoroughbreds) in a little bit.Like to call it off but but they don't have enough to keep the horses fed until sunday and I don't know when else we'd go.
I'm off to feed my own horses now, and hoping for a call from the boss :D

I HATE WINTER :grumpy: :barf: :grumpy:
 
I'm in Ohio also, and it's getting pretty ugly; freezing rain, ice, power lines down everywhere and a temp. of 32.5 degrees. Be careful if you gotta go out.

I love winter! Yesterday, I worked in the yard a bit, then cooked out on the grill, and to end he day I sat out on the patio drinking Mojitos. My evening was almost ruined when the temperature dropped to 70 :eek: and I had to go inside.
 
What is this "snow" you speak of?



Actually, the last time I remember seeing snow in town was a few years back, on Easter...in April. :confused: Snow ocasionally hits the mountains above 6000 feet or so. Haven't seen any "real" snow since I moved out of Colorado 6 years previous. I miss the snow, but I sure don't hate the cold. I love Arizona.

BITE ME :D Ill be there in two weeks Geraldo....ahhh Key Largo...
 
The bad news is that it's -9 degrees Fahrenheit this morning, with a high of -1 predicted for today. The good news is that all the mosquitos are finally dead...:D

Hey, take it easy for those who have to drive on that ice today. Stay safe! I'm off work, with enough supplies for a long while, so I'm gonna hunker down and stay in.
 
We have had about three feet of snow since freeze up and it will be around four another three or four months.It was 20 above yesterday here in the interior of Alaska.It is supposed to get down to -15 over the weekend.
We have not had extreme gold for any extended period of time in over ten years.
 
OK, here's something you don't often associate with snow. I live in Minnesota. It gets cold here, that's not a revelation. But this year we have had no snow to speak of where I am. I live on some acreage and have a septic system. The drainfield depends on snow cover to insulate it from the below zero temperatures that are the norm for the winter. Now the nights are -15 to -20 this week and no snow cover. When the drain field freezes ---- :barf:
 
I would like to comment on how people drive in the snow here in Porkopolis. I saw more 4x4 trucks and SUVs off on the side of the road than anything else. Mainly because most people were doing 30mph on a very slick highway and all these people with 4 wheel drive would go by at ~50 mph.

These drivers must be new at the whole 4 wheel drive thing because they don't seem to realize that, even though 4 wheel drive is awesome for slick conditions, you still can't stop or control the damn thing if all four wheels are on ice. I left the Explorer at home and happily drove our little Saturn with front wheel drive right past all of the over confident 4X4 noobs. I was much more worried about being hit by one of them than I was of sliding off the road myself.

Rant over.

The weather is still horrible here, though everything is very beautiful. My pup is loving it. We did lose power for about 5 hours last night which had me a little worried but thankfully they got it fixed about 8:00 am.
 
We received a foot or more 75 miles north of Columbus, Ohio. Very beautiful and somewhat still last night. Got up at 5am this morning and saw flashing lights a half mile away on our rural road. The blowing and drifting on top of so much snow on the ground evens out the contours and buries vegetation. It steals depth from your field of vision. I had trouble knowing where the road was when I went for a look a few hours later and found a county plowtruck still buried in the ditch. Treacherous conditions. The snow stopped earlier, Sun's out now....by 4 or 5pm we'll be able to get out and about. I'm loving it, frankly.
