mcb39 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hey Sara....at least it held off until later than they thought. It sure is pretty though! Be careful...cuz I NEED you. Times like this, a Home Office is nice. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joans Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 1/2 hour drive took 45 min. Almost had to sleep at the end of our 1000 ft driveway. Drifted shut. Just love 4-wheel drive. Plus snow blower was under a tarp and the tarp was froze to the ground. So I said poo on it, went in, made a cranberry old fashion and snuggled with daughter:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joans Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 At least you have snow banks - I wasn't plowed out this morning and I was hoping to get stuck so I could go back to bed! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schirallicpa Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's snowing here in WNY today too. We had 2 days with 40ish degree weather. People were wearing shorts and flip flops! Now - were back to 13 and snow flakes in the air. My girlfriend just sent me this poem this morning: IT'S WINTER IN NEW YORK AND THE GENTLE BREEZES BLOW SEVENTY MILES PER HOUR AT THIRTY FIVE BELOW. OH, HOW I LOVE NEW YORK WHEN THE SNOW'S UP TO YOUR BUTT YOU TAKE A BREATH OF WINTER AND YOUR NOSE GETS FROZEN SHUT YES, THE WEATHER HERE IS WONDERFUL SO I GUESS I'LL HANG AROUND I COULD NEVER LEAVE NEW YORK MY BUTT IS FROZEN TO THE GROUND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Looks like we're likely to get some of the white stuff here in Charlotte, NC over the weekend. Some predictions say up to 4-6 inches. That's guaranteed to shut virtually everything down for a day or two. Snow in the South can be very entertaining if you enjoy watching people do really dumb stuff behind the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieR Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 My friends here in OH think I'm crazy, but I miss WI winters!! My cousin's granddaughter called the other day and told me she had driven to Sheboygan from Green Bay between two storms to pick up her grandma....who is 88 and had shoveled out her driveway!!!

AnnieR We had gorgeous weather on Tues and Wed (not that I would know). Storm started late Thurs afternoon. We plowed out yesterday AM and came 100 miles North and plowed out again. Last night we had -22 degrees. Go figure. Sunshine today and more snow tomorrow. But, Annie, you are right. I think it is all worth our wonderful Spring, Summer and Fall!

kcjenkins Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Here in NE AR, it is now snowing on my peach tree, which is in full blossom. I can still see the jonquils above the snow. But it should not stay more than a day, I hope and expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 You gotta love NC for variety in weather. They're predicting 3-5 inches of snow tonight (Sunday), overnight temps down to 27 tonight and 17 tomorrow night, with highs in the mid-30's. Tuesday & Wednesday clear and mild with highs in the 40's. Thursday warmer, & Friday highs up to 65. Looks like I'll get to wear my snow boots and my sandals this week. If you don't like the weather in NC, just wait a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAXBILLY Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 It's 72 and sunny at the moment but it's going to rain this afternoon but I don't care because I'm locked in my office. taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstaxes Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Here in New Jersey, they are predicting 5-9 inches starting later today. Everytime they predict a large amount we get a dusting. So it will be a wait and see. Maybe I will have some clients cancel. Maybe I can clean my home, that's what is nice about a home office (at least I think) but who wants to clean.

Lion EA Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Up here in CT the weatherman's saying 14 inches. Don't think I've seen 14 in one storm in all the decades I've lived here. And, my husband the school teacher is getting tired of snow days. I'm getting tired of having him around all day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well it's snowing here now, and we seem to be in the area predicted to have the most snow at 8-12" tonight, and another 1-2" tomorrow with blowing winds. Earlier this week it was warm here, I think at least mid 50's or more. Tomorrow night is supposed to be a low of 12. Ugh! I've just come in from shoveling a place for the little dogs to potty. I'm planning a 2-3am trip to Mom's to do the same for her little dog, then again after breakfast, but that will be hiking on foot. Husband is taking my 4-wh drive to work. Luckily, she only lives down & around the corner, but about 1/3 mile each way. Lots of fun for me tomorrow. I also expect to have power blips because of the winds. Must be a branch or some loose connection down the line from me. It happens every time we have strong gusting winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 It's still snowing here. Not as deep as predicted -- yet -- but blowing around. I too get power outages on blustery days and lose my internet and telephone, also. The perils of a home office out in the boonies. And, my husband the school teacher is home and constantly walking into my office while talking about whatever he just read on-line. He's thinking a delay on Tuesday. Oh goody!

It's still snowing lightly here. We had 15" and spent a couple hours shoveling out. My daughter had the day off school and my husband took off a half-day so he could help with the snow removal. This spring, I'm pulling out a big round yew that is horribly in the way of where we really _need_ to be able to pile snow from the driveway. It's not a particularly nice shrub, and it sure is in the wrong place. Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
