Snow.......how much did you get???

[LeftWriteFemme]

.


White-out conditions are blurring the view from my window. :anothersnowman:

Share how many inches you've gotten, this hour, this day, this week, this month or this year, whichever number is important to you! I just want to hear how much you got!


Snow kisses,

Sherrie

This is the first time since the 1800's that we have had snow like this. The first storm dumped about 3 feet in some areas. Then yesterdays storm dumped another 20+ inches of snow.

The snow is so deep that the children can't play outside in it. It is above their heads.

Most major expressways are being snowplowed and salted. Minor roads/streets and side roads need back hoes to dig them out.

Most gas stations have pretty much run out of gas. Grocery stores have run out of food. Even Dollar Stores are out of stock.

One of the major problems we have now is where to put the snow. It is just such an overwhelming amount. People's roofs are caving in. The aluminum car covers and garage type of sheds are also collaping from the heaviness of the snow.

Power outages are common. Thank God I have power. If I didn't, I would have to walk to a hotel or some where else of the like. I just cannot imagine living for weeks on end without power. Even having a generator, and having to hook up all the electrical cords attached to that. Just too much.

Some folks are using their fireplaces around the clock, and forget about them, and then you see on the news how houses are being burnt to the ground from a spark or two. Fire hydrants are impossible to see. Even when digging them out, or with the metal flags on them, they are still buried in the snow or have broken off with the brutal wind gusts.

I have been trying to keep a small area for Dino to go to the bathroom. He has to see green grass to go. Well, I gave up on that after the 1st storm. Dino is bundled up in a thick sweater.

I have had enough of the snow. I hope and pray that this is it for us. It really has stopped everything here. Literally everything. :praying:

[ruthie14]

Last time 28 inches... this time tbd... still going strong!

[Jess]

We've had three ( I think ) rounds of snow/ sleet/ ice/ freezing rain thus far. That's a lot for this area, which might typically get a good bout once a season.
That on top of the three or so weeks of sub zero temps here have made for a rather unpleasant Winter.

This is the South by golly! If I had wanted this I would be up North!!! LOL!

I'm not sure anymore what the totals are we have gotten here. I have been too bummed about it to keep up!


Andrew! Dude! Sounds really rough. You be careful and stay warm!

[suebee]

Last year this time all I could see out my front window was the snowbank. This year I haven't even worn boots yet. We get the odd couple of inches and then it rains or we have a warm day and it all goes away. No chance at all of ignoring all that dog poop out on the lawn. :eyebrow:

[Medusa]

We got a foot of snow Sunday night and into Monday morning. It's barely starting to melt today. I've kinda been enjoying the time off of work :)

[Semantics]

We have 2-3 inches so far but it's just started.

[Daktari]

none - it's been like a crisp spring day here today.....thankfully.

In the town I live we had all our snow over the holiday period and haven't seen any since...that's not the case for other towns in the UK though.

[Sachita]

I use to live in the Adirondacks in a beautiful village by Lake George. I loved it there but the winters were too cold, too long and the novelty of snow wore off after the first winter.

I moved to southern va for 4 seasons and mild winters. This season I feel like I'm in NY. We have had 3 snow storms since Dec. Its fucking cold too. If we have more winters like this I'm moving. I hate it.

We have had 8-14 inches, lots of ice, today major wind making snow ice. ugh

[cara]

we have been lucky this year. not a single flake, but plenty of rain. our plants and trees are showing signs of spring! i was worried because last year we had months and months of snow and ice. not fun!

[DapperButch]

This past Saturday my area got 25 inches and with today's storm we must be at about 13 inches so far. It is supposed to continue until 12AM or so, and we are to get 24 inches.

Work was closed yesterday and I received word that we will be closed again tomorrow.

I would much rather be working than have to use 2 days of vacation time and spend all day shoveling! :rant:

[Corkey]

Last year we had a total of 149.4 inches.
I'm not gonna complain about the measly 12-18 inches total this year.:bringcoffee::threadneedspics:

[Blade]

No snow this far south this week.

[Rockinonahigh]

So far we havent had anything but cold and rain.The weatherman says we are suposed to have snow on the ground by sometimes late Thursday night or Friday morning.I live in the south and may after this winter move to a south sea island..gimmie 80 degrees any day.Really we havent had any kind of real snow in near 18 years,on the news just now they were geting out the heavy equipment to do battle with the weather.
Rockin

[Tommi]

I have the rains mainly on the plain, and that causes the houses to wash down the drain. Mudslides are causing evacuations an hour north of me.

My girl says 7 to 10 inches is just right.. :kissy:...Ahhhh..and about the snow..


I grew up in SW Penna, and I left the snow for Fantasyland, and the sunshine of the Pacific..

[Jess]

Saw on the news earlier that Baltimore had banned driving. Worst storm ever was reported from DC.. Holy snowballs Batman! :snowballfight::batman:

[Write14u]

Snow? What's that?

[Jess]

Snow? What's that?



You ain't funny! :cracked:

[Mr. Moon]

Let's see....

30 the first storm, another 20 something this time....

My body is wondering wth I'm doing to it....

oy!!

At least I have electric still!

[LeftWriteFemme]

.


I shoveled 5 times and now I am feeling I should brave the cleaning off of the vehicles..... I'm not thrilled about the prospect, but sooner begun, soonest done!

[Andrew, Jr.]

We are in a State of Emergency. No vehicles are allowed on the road except State Vehicles and Emergency Vehicles. Everything is closed down. We can't even get out of our community yet. Right now 172 vehicles are stuck in the snow along the interstate, and they all called for help. I have no idea of how long it is going to take to get out of this mess. And where to put the snow when it is shoveled. The wind is something fierce. It is really strong. The next storm coming is expected sometime during this weekend. We are well over 6 feet of snow. I am sick of it.

The next thing I am fearing is the floods when the snow melts.

[LeftWriteFemme]

Okay, I shoveled out the bus and my car. I thought there was only 6 to 10 inches, but it was a lot more like 16 to 20 when I got out there! The sun was a big help and it only took me two hours to get it all done, I am feeling pretty good about the whole thing. Only one neighbor teased me about shoveling in a dress.......a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do!

[MsTinkerbelly]

I live in Southern California.

By Monday it will be near 80 degrees in the valley, probably mid-seventies here. I wouldn't trade places with any of you for all the tea in China. (one of my Mom's favorite expressions)

Stay safe (f)

[Andrew, Jr.]

Snow Level as of 2/11 is 79.9 according to our Gov.

[always2late]

Got close to 3 feet...unfortunately my house is in a perfect place for the drifts, so I got some that are 4-5 feet up against the side of my house.

I know we are in for a long haul when my great dane gets snowbound in the yard. :)

Last year was crazzzzzy wild! All but one of my coworkers and I were snowed in at work over Christmas. I got to know them in ways that I'd really rather not know. :admin:

The funny thing? For the briefest of seconds, when I saw the title of this thread, I wondered at just HOW well it was that Sherrie knew Snowy. :blink:

[torchiegirl]

I want more snow.......on the grass only.

[Rockinonahigh]

Sofar I have measured 41/2 inches on my yard table wich is right out in themiddle of it.

[purepisces]

Ok, I voted in the poll too soon! I said no snow and then yesterday we got 12.5 inches! I have never seen this much snow in Texas.

It was great until 2pm yesterday when my power went out. It is still out today and it looks like it is going to be some time this weekend before it's back on. It was 58 degrees inside my house when I left to come to work today.

I had to shovel my car out of the snow for the first time in my life! I had to come into work so that I can recharge my cell phone and camping lantern.

It really is beautiful, but I would be very happy to have electricity again soon.

[NJFemmie]

I think we got another 20-22 inches on top of the already 20 inches we got last week.

Yeah, I am done shoveling for the year, thankyouverymuch.

(Although, I will admit the scenery is breath-taking).

[Cyclopea]

1-3 inches a sad disapointment, no matter what you do with it
4- 6 inches respectable, servicable, no need to be embarassed
7 - 10 Wow, now we are talking!! This is enough to keep you going!
11 - 13 More than enough, but still a good time to be had!
14 - 18 Breathtaking.........not always in that good kind of way
19 - 24 Too much! This is now more like work than a good time
25 - 30 You've got to be kiddiing me!!!! What a painful experiance this is!

Is this poll really about "snow"?

[Write14u]

OK, OK, there is snow in Alabama (although not the totally delectable Snowy herself, just to clarify ;) )
I almost missed it (again) though. I was north of the expected snow line. But I didn't pack an overnight bag and didn't want to pick up the cost of a hotel after covering an event for work, so I drove home. I felt sorry for my poor mom, who was petrified I'd hit some black ice and go spinning. However, I made it the two hours home with no problem. And there was actually a nice little coating of snow (about 2.5 inches, I'd say, maybe 3). The puppies totally loved it, which shocked me. I can't get my little girl out in the rain or if it's cold, yet she kept going to the door to run around in the fluffy stuff. It was cute as hell.

[Blade]

Looks to be about 4 inches out there right now and I think it has quit

[Tommi]

It's to be in the 70's tomorrow..

:hiding:

The snowstorms have affected me though.

My flight to the east coast to meet my girl :3femme:in Orlando, and then to meet her parents for the first time :dog: was canceled.

Delta sent me an "I'm sorry", but we have rerouted you from John Wayne in Orange County -(5 minutes from my house) SUNDAY night at 10 pm (from So Cal ) to Salt Lake, then to Minn. MN, then to Orlando.arriving Monday morning...13 hours later...

Next best flight available--> from Los Angeles LAX ( an hour + away) direct to Orlando. 5 hours , tonight at 10:00 PM..so, I will be a day late, but arrive on Valentine's Day.

NO cold from the SNOW, just a girl who doesn't handle change well, and cried.. I guess that is what they do :harley:

[JAGG]

I do not like snow , snow and ice suck out loud. Winter sucks out loud too. If it's below 70 degerees it's way too cold for me. I love heat heat heat and sun sun sun . 90- 120 degrees is perfect for me .

[Blade]

That was a pretty good 1am guess from inside the house. I just went out and measured it in three areas of the yard and it is 4 1/2" light and fluffy

[Leigh]

I've gotten about 4-6 inches of snow in the last week or week and a half, and I had to shovel it too **grumble**

[Kenna]

With all the drifting, it's hard to judge how much we got...
This is after the second snow storm... (time to get my snowshoes out...)

Little dog/BIG snow... (most of the snow on this hill...drifted over my car that night...) Wolfwalker, I feel your pain...my doggies got their play area before I was able to find my car... but it was so fun watching them play!

Hey, Linus... do you have a Smilie Snowman getting run over by my snow-blower? LOL Or Jack Frost getting melted by a blow torch?... just thought I'd ask for those of us who want to send Jack Frost to the moon! LOL

[Tommi]

WOW....It is pretty, and the doggie looks so cute in the middle of all that white stuff..



I am soooo sooo glad I live here. It's always green.

Awww thank you so much Tommi!! That certainly is beautiful! AWESOME! Wish I had a house with that view.
(I posted video's on my facebook of that cute little doggie getting lost in the snow...what a little NUTT!)

LOL Pretty snow takes on a whole new meaning when you get over 40 inches in one week...

I grew in south of Pittsburgh, PA, so now, I can drive to the snow and hour from home to just visit.

Once I got to Southern Cali. I knew the heat had the snow beat.:groupphoto:

*Zippo* :(

[LeftWriteFemme]

So far today we've gotten 5", but they say it will snow all day and all through the night!

[Ryobi]

Over night we got 11 inches of very wet, heavy snow. (and a bunch of thundersnow! woohoo!) Trees down, some areas the power lines came down under the weight.

In my backyard, there are several cedar trees 20-25 feet tall and about 15 inches round. There are 6 I can see from the window that I'll have to take down. And depending on how many branches on others have cracked off, probably more. The silver lining? A friend of mine makes cedar log furniture as a part time job. He'll have material for a new project.

[lipstixgal]

No snow here thank g-d just some nasty rain and cold...

Karma, my friends, is indeed a bitch. LOL
This is my post from a year ago when I lived in my snow-barren Southland.
Umm, yeah. Moved.
Top 10 snowy year in the Twin Cities. I think we're somewhere near 84 inches or so of the white stuff for the winter.
That'll teach me. LOL
