GOT SNOW?

from JoeUser Forums

We are getting some serious snow fall right now.  The most we've gotten all season.

The weather channel says we are supposed to get between 13-15" by tomorrow afternoon. 

I woke up this morning, no snow.

Now there is almost three inches. 

Schools are supposed to get out 2 hours early.

They need to get the kids home now.  I went to the grocery store earlier and there was about an inch on the ground.  The roads were horrible.  I am considering going to get Hunter from school.  I worry about him riding on the bus in bad weather.  If someone's gonna get into an accident and put his life in danger it should be me. heh.

Gah!  The tips of my day lilies were just poking up through the winter mulch.  They'll be ok, but I was so hoping WINTER WAS OVER.

Sledding will be great here tomorrow!  Woot.

Let the plows get out there and do their jobs, and then everything should let out. If everything lets out, everyone's driving slow, the plows can't get through, and people get stuck in traffic until 11 pm. Children, let out of school at 1pm, get stuck on the bus until 11 pm.

Well its falling fast enough they are having a hard time keeping up.  They clear the main roads, then have to go back and do it again.  The side roads, where school buses tread, get nadda.

Ah, you're just north of here aren't you?

It's a bitch outside. I had to walk half way across campus to get back to the warmth of my dorm. :(...the snow hurts your face after a few minutes.

Oh well, at least there's a dining hall right across the yard, so it's not a huge venture to secure supplies for myself. Then I won't have to resort to cannabilism. :)

Oh Tonya...
What a mess! What a beautifull mess, but a mess nonetheless. Hey, tha's kind of Seussian..hehe..

Just when you thought winter was over. Well, since we can't stop it, I hope it at least it will melt soon and you won't have to be anywhere.
Now, go sledding when it's done!

Woke up this morning and WHOA!  It's a winter wonderland.

I'm having Alaska flashbacks!

Here's our backyard...check out what's in the trampoline.

You got 15''? that's cute. Yesterday, we had 3 feet of snow on Montreal, while in Outaouais, it was more like 4 feet. You see images of roads with abandonned cars, trucs and large-scale snowblowers, with snowmobiles travelling on those roads, the only way to actually manage to get anywhere.

The worst thing is, it was the 2nd winter storm on the same week.

I would like to retract my previous statement. Colombus got way more snow than over here. Hope they'll all right

They're fine...haha. The snow on the roads which were plowed, they're already melting. I think total we received about 15 inches...maybe a little more.

Arrgg! I'm sorry. I retract all I said earlier! I got my scales wrong. (the reports here are made in cm, and I completely forgot to divide 2.5 cm/inch!) (sorry, I feel bad..)

All right. That's helluvasnow you got here, indeed :)
