Snow Storm

[sparks19]

WOOHOO This is the first significant snowfall here in two winters at least.

Apparently the HEAVY snow starts around noon but we already have 6 inches or more It's AWESOME. not sure how much we are going to get. predictions are all over the place

But later we are going to bundle Hannah up in her snow suit and take her out to play in it I just looked at the weather map and the heavy heavy snowfall is about to start.

The dogs are all wound up and excited but they don't want to stay out too long :rofl1: They go out and get the zoomies and then come right back in and sneak off to our bed to snuggle up. silly pooches.

I LOVE it.

6 inches already???? You suck!!!!

I keep checking the radar, and we've got blue all over us, but there still isn't one flake on the ground or in the air in Allentown!!!! I want snow so badly, I can't wait for this to start!

I also have all my stuff ready to make home made biscotti while the snow is going on. It's what I'm giving my friends at school for Christmas. It will keep me busy while it's snowing and keep the house nice, warm and smelling yummy!!

Our snow isn't supposed to start until tonight, but the weather people are already hepped up!

OK ladies - you want snow??? Come on down. We've got about a foot and the heaviest is still yet to come. And the forecasters are all over the board with final estimates - depending on which station you're listening to - it could be anywhere between 18"-24". It's still the biggest storm since the President's Day Blizzard in 2003 when we ended up with 30".

Sure is pretty - as long as I don't have to get out and drive in it!!! It's drifting like crazy...........

yep I did all my running around yesterday so we can just stay in today

[catnapper]

Yeah, I went to work, only to find out they closed due to snow!

Driving right now is officially AWFUL. We still have no kitchen.... so thankfully we have several restaurants within a 2 block radius. We have two itallian places, a diner, McDonald's, Wendy's, a bistro, a deli, a bar, a high-priced ooh-la-la place..... we shouldn't go hungry - SOMEBODY should be open all day!

Its too pretty out there though. I'm BUMMED because Cameron is with his daddy today. He's been looking forward to snow for a week; he's made me check the weather online all week. Its been a daily routine for us to cehck the weather, and now that snow is here, Cam's NOT

Son number 1 is in NJ he has 8 inches and is expecting another 18.
I am glad he gets to stay home and just chill out as he puts it doing homework, paying bills, working on the computer.
I wish I was able to fax him some cookies fresh and warm from the oven.

I'm further ahead on this than most of you(not you, Ellie!)-we've had snow falling since yesterday evening and we're definitely over a foot. We (Coop & I) were out earlier, cleared the driveway, the walks, the deck, the cars..right now we couldn't prove it if we had to. The snow is falling so fast they can't even keep up with the snow tallies on TV. Pinot is reacting to it by covering up her face, curling up and sleeping. They're calling it "the Winter Wallop", "historical" and "massive".

As I posted on another thread, we were supposed to be having a party today; that's been postponed and we'll trek across the common drive to our neighbors for some wine instead! The party is tomorrow for the Ravens game; which is another ever-changing thing due to the storm. First, the game went from 1pm to 4:15pm. Then, word came the Bears didn't make it out of Chicago last night (why on earth did they wait until last night??), so the game may be postponed further till tomorrow evening at 8pm. So, we'll see what happens there...

I'll keep you posted on the storm!

Sparks19, which state are you in? I just love those pics of Hannah! She looks adorable in her pink snow suit! And those end shots, with that cold nose, Oh my, how sweet! The pups are having a great time too, from the looks of it!

I did all my errands yesterday. If figured, last weekend before Christmas, AND a huge storm, traffic will be crazy today.

I was right! Why was I out in it? BECAUSE I FORGOT TO BUY THE GAS FOR THE SNOW THROWER!

Got that, got the thing started, so now I am relaxed again. We are in the "blizzard" watch, with 14 to 20 inches predicted. WOO HOO!

The latest "snowcast" for here was just posted; we're expected to get 20-30"!!

Freedom - We live in Lancaster, PA. The pups are LOVIN it, 5 minutes at a time. LOL

Pinot - I just watched a update and the heaviest stuff is south of us... YOU. LOL We are already at about 3/4's of what they said we would get and its just now getting going. Can't wait to see what it looks like out there tomorrow.


And WOOT for it being light and fluffy.

I quit listening!!! I'll get the total when all is said and done. Right now it's snowing harder than it has since it started. My poor car is semi-buried..... Still no plows in sight. They can't even keep the main roads clear at this point, and I'm in no-man's land. Maybe I'll make it out by Wednesday if I'm lucky.

...and we're in BLIZZARD CONDITIONS until 6pm!!
