Our meteorologists are saying 5-10 inches, which usually means 2-3 inches. It's supposed to continue through tomorrow afternoon, though, so perhaps they're right for once! I'm hoping they are, I love snow.

8-12" headed my way. Blizzard warning tonight through tomorrow. I just hope I don't lose power...

Supposedly a nor'easter heading in...aephi alum, are you in NY cuz I've been hearing 8-12 myself.

I had to laugh...I went to the store for like 2 things and there were a dang HUNDRED people there scrambling for food. I'm like, for real y'all, this is New York. The snow will be cleared in an hour. What is the issue? Not to mention the fact that if you do lose power, all the food's gonna spoil anyway!!!!!!

I live in Connecticut.

Around here, it takes the city the better part of a day to clear snow off the streets. I live on a quiet little street, which is good most of the time - but that means it's one of the lowest-priority streets for snow plowing.

I live on campus so we gets NO love from the city!! But, still, you say "the better part of a day to clear snow off the streets" and I agree - that's what happens here - so why are people getting food to last a month? It's craziness I tell ya!

Being that I'm from Georgia, originally, I'm surprised at how unaffected I'm becoming about any impending snowy danger. Maybe I have too much faith in the de-icing trucks and my snow tires!!!

It's snowing here...not a lot, but enough for me to cancel my going-out plans tonight! Normally, it takes me about 45 min. to get home from the bars on a weekend night...with any snow, considering we haven't had any in at least a month, it will take an hour and a half.

Kansas, got to love it somethimes.

Went on a two hour drive for a meeting. Finally got out of it!

While at the Pitt for LX Meeting and did a turn around, drove back and forth in it back to KC. Heck, was snowing so hard, tuff to even see.

Glad to be back at The Crib!!!!!!!

Hope for a long spring! Oh, so so soon!

But, remember, the trees are blooming, grass is growing, and the Friggen Moles are going nuts!

Love Ks.!

Sounds like New England is getting hammered. Good luck.

We got maybe 1/2 inch yesterday.

We used to have a Norwegian Elkhound. She was so much fun to watch in the snow!

We've got four inches and it's STILL snowing.

It's great!

My area was supposed to be getting 5-10 inches, but being in a valley, we usually get a dusting. Instead of snow, we got a fair amount of rain.

Maybe we'll get enough to wash one of dorms away. That would be cool.

alum · #**146** 02-12-2006, 12:37 AM

We are getting NOTHING, at least by NE standards. As usual the men,I mean meteorologists, are overestimating their inches.

Weather people are 90% right -- 10% of the time.

We have a dusting! (I never thought I could post on this thread!)

AGDee · #**149** 02-12-2006, 09:30 AM

We got a dusting, with hard crunchy ice underneath it. It wasn't fun to get the windshield clean last night.

I'm glad we're not getting a N'oreaster. We've been lucky enough to have a very mild winter for Detroit and I would appreciate it if that trend continues.

People in my area are reporting anywhere from 6 to 12 inches. People only blocks away from each other are reporting 6 inch differences. Some are reporting 13-15 inches. All I know is when I look out my window, I see lots of snow.
