Ok, enough w/the bad weather already! *Update 3/11*

[Medusa]

Apparently the Universe doesn't want me to have new bras. I've been trying for two weeks to go in for a fitting but we've had either tons of snow or ice storms. I was all set to go today and we got hit w/more snow: 4-6 inches today, 8-10 more predicted for tonight and 4-6 more tomorrow. We're almost out of salt so they're telling people to stay home because they're going to pick and choose where they spread the salt. My bank is 6 minutes away and it took me 25 minutes to get there and another 25 to get back. So looks like "the girls" are gonna have to wait for some new bras.

AT least it's going to die down tomorrow in the early evening... because I am wanting to go out and see a couple friends.. that I haven't seen in a while.

So I'm with you there, I'm sick of this weather.

[Craftlady]

I first major snow here in Northern KY - I'm sick of shoveling snow. Hubby and I are trying to keep up with the accumlation. Two driveways makes for lots of shoveling. We are under blizzard warning until 4 p.m. Saturday.
Additional couple inches of snow predicted for Sunday/Monday.
Schools went today and had to scurry to get kids home safely. Hubby took a sick day since he has to drive 45 miles one way rural roads. I certaintly hope the school board got allot of calls from angery parents. Totally stupid to try it today.

No snow here but we are getting some serious rain complete with lightning and some thunder. Poor dogs are cooped up in the house.

My snow plow guy sounded as though he was going to cry, especially when I told him the forecast. It's times like this that I'm sorry I sold my 4 wheel drive Chevy Blazer. My car has front wheel drive but I still don't feel safe in this kind of weather. Ah well, looks like I'll be watching movies and stuffing my face all weekend. I'm invited to a seafood dinner party tomorrow night but I just spoke to the hostess and it's on a "wait and see" basis now. I'm good either way. I just don't want to drive in this mess.

We are expecting 50cm over the weekend,It has started snowing already but as soon as it hits the ground it is gone.They were saying in the ottawa paper today we have not had snow like this since 1971.

Bring on Spring,Im so ready for all this snow to go!The dogs love it...But i want to be able to enjoy the nice weather and my gardens!

[Medusa]

I first major snow here in Northern KY
You live in Kentucky now?

[Medusa]

My snowplow guy plowed my driveway during the night and you can't even tell it's been done. We've got nearly 2 ft. of snow and it's still coming down. Winter storm warning continues until 4:00 AM tomorrow. Good grief.

We're up to about 10" right now and possibly that much more on the way. :eek: We have resorted to moving one truck out of the fence and only worrying about 1/2 of the driveway. I do shovel paths for the dogs out in the yard. ;) I love snow, but come on! :rolleyes:

[Lori Jordan]

I love snow too...But we have had enough this year,it has been steady since december..I just want Spring to come,Anymore of this we are seriously thinking of going to Flordia till this passes lol.

[Medusa]

I'm almost out of birdseed, so I had a crumb cake that was hardly touched and I left it right in the pan and put it out for the birds to pick at. They apparently like it because they're leaving the birdseed alone, what little there is of it. I could hardly walk in all the snow; it was up to my knees. And it keeps on comin'......

[chocolatepuppy]

Mary, my boots aren't tall enough for this snow! I too, like you, am getting disgusted that I work all week and when the weekend comes, I'm trapped and can't go anywhere. :( I have to confess though, the dogs and I are having a blast playing in it. ;)

[Medusa]

I have to confess though, the dogs and I are having a blast playing in it. ;)
Ah yes, I can remember when I had my little Peke-a-poos, Charmin and Daisy, they were so little that they'd sink down into the snow, so we always had to clear a path for them. My border collie, Heidi, however, loved the snow and she would scoop her nose in it and pile it high, as though she was trying to see how much she could balance on her nose. I miss those days so much.

Look who's making her way through the backyard:

We currently have 11.5 inches of snow here in Cleveland, and it is only 11:15AM.

[Medusa]

The winter storm watch continues until 4:00 AM; 6 more inches of snow due.

[CountryWolf07]

Where in OH are you located?

I am looking up and it looks like it will stop around midnight-1am in my area.

[anna_66]

I'm tired of it. It can stop at any time. I didn't even get to work today. They closed early.
Lots of drifting snow. Tons in some places and nothing in others.

the brown grasses in the background are several different types of ornamental grasses. last monday, 3/3/2008, i was planning on cutting them back, it was 70 degrees and i was gonna get a jump on the spring yard work..LOL!

i love this picture. alex plays like a puppy in the snow.

peanut is wearing home made dog pajamas and her jacket, and right after this picture dashed back inside to sit next to the kitchen space heater. i cleared a space for her so she can go out to do business without getting too deep in the snow.

[Craftlady]

14 inches shoveled within last 24 hrs.
Snow drifts of 12 inches very common in my yard.
Finally snow stopped around 3 p.m. today.

[ramanth]

Wow. They were originally predicting some of that to hit MI, but the storm shifted. Ya'll can keep it! ;) :p

I measured; we got close to 2 ft. of snow. It just now stopped and the wind died down. W/the blowing and drifting, I was afraid they'd need a front loader to plow my driveway but he got it done w/just his snowplow. I am so over Ohio.

[chocolatepuppy]

I'll add some of my snow pics. These were taken around noon, before 3-4 more inches fell. As you can see in this first picture, we've given up on 1/2 of the driveway and moved one truck out of the fence in case of an emergency. ;)

You can see Layla's butt dragging the snow and she's tall!

You guys stink!! :p All we've had here in my area of Pennsylvania is flipping rain. I'm sooooooooooooooo tired of the rain, everything is soggy and flooded. :eek: :mad:

This is gorgeous!! I dare say it isn't, though, to the people who own those cars.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I remember what that stuff is! Those pictures pretty much look like Denver in December of 06. But we got 25" in one snowfall! (Plus about 3 feet more all winter long).

I'm enjoying seeing your pictures even though I know you guys are probably sick of the snow...it still looks pretty. All the same, I hope you get spring soon!

Joyce, I really liked getting to see some pictures of Alex!

Here's what our yard looked like last year after one snowfall:

We don't have any snow on the ground right now, but we might get a few inches this week. :/

[pitc9]

WOW!!
I've been asking and BEGGING for snow since December and now I have it!
:D
AND I LOVE IT!!!

I got 16'' of snow and I have crazy snow drifts!
I took almost 900 pictures this weekend! :o
Most were from my backyard, but I also went out driving around yesterday and snapped a bunch.

You know the snow is deep and the drifts are tall when MY dogs are getting stuck in the snow and can't move! :eek:

It's funny watching them try to chase eachother in 16 + inches of snow! They move in slow motion. :D

Awwww, perfect! I'd like this photo on a calendar page, please!!

Just checking on all of the Pet Talkers who are still dealing with winter this afternoon (well, everyone who's posted). I am looking at the calendar and saying to myself I hope we're about done with serious snow for the year. March snow always seems to be wet and heavy to shovel anyway.

[Medusa]

Let's just have some hail, too, while we're at it. And maybe some frogs. And boils. And why not have the canal run w/blood. It's the right time of year for plagues, so let's just do this thing and get it over with!
