Snow-pocalypse!

[AccountingDrone]

my shepherd husky mix is esxtatic, she is flaked out on her back with her paws waving in the air in the middle of the largest snowbank in the back yard doing that wriggle wroof of a happy doggie. She obviously loves snow.

The chickens are huddled in their coop glaring out. They on the other hand hate the snow.

we got maybe 7-8 inches, plow went by a few times, hit the stop sign, typical stuff lol

my car and my brothers car are still covered

I haven't ventured out to see what my car looks like. I gotta put the last of my cards in the mailbox (for family/friends, not CS) so I'll go clean it off when I do that.

I had to sweep my car out this morning. SWEEP. Not shovel. Since I was the last car in the parking spots in front of my apartment, all the snow got plowed up against my car. Sweeping two feet of snow away from my car sucked. Driving on barely plowed major highways SUCKS.

North Carolina got smacked with this storm first, and here in Asheville we ended up with 15 inches of snow on the ground. Thus, ladies and gentlemen, I am a North Carolinian and I own a snow shovel.

Would you like a visual aid? Observe an Asheville resident chilling wine during the snowstorm.

Just went out to clean off my car. It may be deeper than it looks from my window...

My roommate measured 16 inches.

I def want to hike this weekend

We didn't get much snow here in Pittsburgh. Only about 6-7 inches, but enough to bring all the idiots out in force. Most of the snow arrived Friday night, but we got a dusting Saturday morning. Good thing all I had to do was mail off the cards, pick up a bottle of wine for Christmas dinner...and shovel the damn driveway.

man I know I'm a few days late on this....but heres my areas timeline of the "winter Wallop"

Friday morning: RAIN....thick, fat, heavy rain.

3:00pm: Rain, starting to turn to snow.

4:00pm: SNOW! thick heavy icey

all night: more snow, mixed with wind.

8:00pm: Interstate closed, drivers told to stay off roads.

next morning: 9 inches of snow, ice and black ice all over roads.

Forecast for the week: Flurries and 2 days of fairly clear weather...until christmas eve.

Oh the pleasure it gives me to say that Friday/Saturday and today we got a trace of snow. Muahahaha.

But I will now go back to being modest.....tune in later this week, Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. The local meteorologists have been pumping everyone up for a snowstorm almost identical in nature to what happened here two weeks ago (a foot or more possible).

Thanks Frosty. Way to ruin Christmas. I am going to hope for the other forecast model, where it pretty much misses WI and we get a trace to a few inches.

I was hoping the storm would have started earlier....it hit around 830 and was the not as pretty small icy flakes. I think the fluffy stuff hit when we went to sleep, because it was easy to shovel.

SO far the highest I heard for CT was just over a foot.

My roommate measured 16 inches.

*goes to climb out of gutter* Nah... I like it in here.

Snow still flipping hanging around. Motorbike starts, but is still at boyf's house cuz the roads are shitty and the council still haven't gotten off their fat lazy arses and gritted the roads. So will be getting lift into work tomorrow. Boyf has promised to keep bike covered and start it up every day til I get a chance to collect it.

Oh yeah, and apparently the blizzard was sent from America. Quit sending us your crappy weather, America!

One thing that did amuse me was when watching the Weather Channel, they were playing a rather diabical version of "Carol of the Bells," showing the radar....the evil storm creeping in. Fit perfectly

[DGoddessChardonnay]

BE, hell, that's nothing. We had WATER deeper than that in the streets here on Friday!

In other words, you either have to swim or take a boat to The Bar, right?

At least our snow is melting away now and the roads are pretty much clear now. Sad part is our yard is even soggier now than it was before the snow and we're expecting to have rain Thursday and Friday . . .

Which means we'll probably need a boat just to get to the car in the backyard 'cause nobody here can swim.

[Jester]

Quit sending us your crappy weather, America!

Um.....NO!

In other words, you either have to swim or take a boat to The Bar, right?

I know I mentioned the people kayaking down the street right in front of The Bar.

"Kayaking down the street." Not a phrase you hear very often.
