I'd be more than happy to send you TX/CA/NC folks all this snow that's been falling in New England...

Snow is great unless you're in it. Ice is worse. I'm sick of this winter weather. Is it April yet??

We had enough snow here for some teeny tiny snowmen. I saw several that were still standing on my way to work today.

You could make a whole snow family. Mom, Dad, 2 kids, dog, cat, goldfish...

So i just looked at the forecast for Ottawa tomorrow morning (when i have to leave for school) the Canadian weather network is forecasting -31C with the wind, that is -24F. It is also supposed to snow, which is just a kick in the pants at that temperature. right now outside it is -35C which is -31F. Damn arctic winds.

it hasn't stopped snowing for more than an hour in 3 days....i miss the ground. shouldn't they cancel class tomorrow if we have more than a foot and not a single sidewalk has been cleared?

It is snowing in New York City. Actually, it has been snowing from Washington, DC area to the Northeast. We are expecting 12 to 24 inches. It will be the worst blizzard since 1996. Stay warm!

I havent seen the ground in a while now.. haha.. but its a great day tomorrow. This is the first time in a long time (i think it would be neat to find out.. ) that VT has cancelled classes. The roads are complete ice.. ice and sleet hasnt stopped coming down since last night. Though it sucks to be stuck inside.

This winter has been so strange. I'm not used to this -- I've lived in Wisconsin nearly all my life and I'm not used to everybody else getting blizzards and snow days while here, the temperature is hovering around 30. Not that I miss the foot and a half of snow being dropped on us overnight, or the -40 windchills . . .

i can send you enough snow to build an igloo. it is -5 right now, has been down to -30 in the past week.. UGH.. now are getting 12 inches of snow tomorrow. only good part is probably no school tuesday

aephi alum · #11 02-17-2003, 10:23 AM

It's snowing here too ... we're expecting 12-24 inches.

Oh well... I have food, I have water, I have heat, I have high-speed internet access... where am I going?

Stay warm, everyone.

Munchkin03 · #12 02-17-2003, 12:07 PM

I think I'm going outside to build an igloo...I have not seen the ground since January 6th. We are on midwinter break today and tomorrow, so no school for me anyway.

Luckily, my job shut down today! Woo hoo!

Nikki_DZ · #13 02-17-2003, 12:30 PM

13 1/2 inches in my back yard, plus a drift that we estimate to be about 8 feet high. Oy. I'ma startin' to get cabin fever!!!

It does snow in North Texas. It's rare to see more than a couple of inches, and sometimes weather conditions are such that the stuff doesn't stick for very long. Most times it's accompanied by ice.

When it comes to snow and ice driving, ya might as well forget about it in Dallas and stay home... too many ya-hoos in their SUV's getting in wrecks because they dont know how to drive in snow and ice!

We've dodged the proverbial bullet this year in Dallas snow and ice-wise (thanks to El Nino) but who's to say next year we get a real sh*t-storm?

I'm worried more about March through May (the height of tornado season in the Plains).

And we don't get any snow here. Last time I saw any significant snow was in 1992 or 1993 in K-town (Knoxville), where I was living and working at the same place where GCer Silverblue is.
