Snow! Snow! Snow!

The big one for the winter is hitting us today! It is snowing right now and isn't supposed to stop until tomorrow night around 5:00 pm. They are calling for 20+ inches in some parts of our area! :eek: :eek: I will be shoveling little paths for the pupsters to go potty. It will definitely be over Ripley's head! :D :D I am glad I have plenty of people food, dog food and cat food in the house. :) As long as we are warm and I have an internet connection everything will be OK! HA! Is anyone else in Pettalkville getting this storm?

oh yea!its been snowing for 2 days straight here and they canceled my horseback lesson yesterday!:( oh well,the snow is still very nice.:)

We got quite a bit yesterday & are supposed to be getting another batch today. Alright, enough snow already!!

They're not sure yet whether the storm will come here or not ... I'll let you know!

OH CRUD!!! No snow yet, but I'm in Jersey too!!! Now I'm gettin nervous- I hope we don't get that much!

Pam, your area is to get a boat load of snow. We, here in the area near Canada shouldn't get a flake! But, it was -25F last night and not going above 0 today! Yikes. Everyone is staying inside to keep warm.

I surely hope Christian has fun in the snow and gets to build yet ANOTHER snowman! Have you showed him how to make snow angels?

Keep us posted on the depth of the snow! Stay warm and safe and watch out for snow shovel accidents. Ouch, the back!



;)

It started snowing here around 4:30 p.m. on Friday. I'm not sure how much snow we did get (I have heard from 3 to 6 inches). I don't think we have had this much all winter!

We woke up to a couple of inches, and it's still coming down--I guess the bulk of it isn't supposed to hit us until tomorrow, and then there will be more----ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!

OK here I am reporting back in. I am 10 miles south of Philadelphia. This storm is one of the biggest ones to hit our area in years. We have well over a foot on the ground now and they have boosted the total accumulation up to 25". It is still snowing and blowing and it's a challenge just to keep the deck cleared off so that the dogs can go down into the yard. They have finally just about given up looking for that perfect place to go potty and seem to be going under the deck where it is somewhat shielded from the wind. Earlier they did have a bit of a run through the yard (the snow is the fluffy light sort) but now even Bella is having trouble. I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow. How's everyone else doing????

We're waiting up here in New England, Pam; any time now. The Cape is supposed to get the brunt...predications started with 12" but they keep warning that it could be more! Yikes, wherever will we pile it up?:D I'm counting on Star and Cody to plow me a path to the backyard!:) Be safe all! And Pam, don't lose little Ripley in the drifts!!:eek: (At least he's black!)

OH fine!!! Rub it in. We were supposed to get that storm and we got barely 2 inches...I'm SO depressed.

I'm in northern jersey and there's no snow yet (yeah!). But it's expected to be about 20 inches by tomorrow. (yuk!)

I am!!A computer connection is all i need!!Actually,Misty AND a computer connection is all i need!!

What ever you want to send would be fine Anna!

I'm not even going to tell you guys how much snow we have here and how cold it is :eek:

I still don't know why I live here :D

Hehe! No you have to come and shovel it and take it yourself if you want it! LOL! That's the worst part. My back is aching just looking at it! My son's friend usually comes over with his snow blower and does our walk and driveway but he was at the NASCAR race today in Daytona in 80 degrees. :rolleyes:

We're still getting pounded--it hasn't stopped yet--supposed to get "bad" overnight and tomorrow--who knows what we'll end up with!!
I'll try to get some pics too.

Well, it will be our turn soon. We are to get at least 6 inches. Not a big deal, but the big deal is that the temperatures are going up, at last! It has been SO cold here lately that when the temperature goes about 32f, everyone walks around without coats.

:eek:

We are getting pounded here too!! I hate it!!! I don't like being forced to sit in the house! I decided not to go to work today. I'm sick of risking my life to go to work when all of our appointments cancel. And then we have to sit there all day while the snow piles up because for some reason, Dr. Sova doesn't think we should leave. Considering my area gets twice as much as his, I'm not goin anywhere!!

I just got called off of work too--I can't even see the roads:eek:
My husband attempted to go in for a meeting--he may have been the only one there!!

I haven't ventured outside except to shovel off the deck for the dogs for the 100th time. Here is a shot of a portion of the deck with the drifting snow. Bella is wondering "How am I going to be able to go potty in that?"

This is a picture of my son's car (taken from inside my house). The boat is across the street in my neighbor's driveway. The white mound in the middle is my street! :eek: :eek: No sign of a plow yet!

I can't belive those drifts Pam:eek: Looks like your going to be stuck in your house for a while!
YUCK!

Anna, it is still coming down too! It looks from the weather map that Ohio is still getting it. How are you doing?

Here I think it is pretty much over with (sigh;))
I think I've had all the snow I can handle for one winter. We usually don't get this much snow the entire year, let alone in one storm!
The way it looks at your house, reminds me when I used to live in ND, I sure don't miss that at all. Hope you guys don't kill your backs trying to shovel yourselves out. Remember, lift with your legs:p

It's still comin down here! Not as bad as Pam, yet, but getting awfully close!!!

Gee, Pam!!!! I have never seen snow like that except in Colorado!!

All we got was rain and then ice. Thankfully, it hasn't been too bad and the roads were still ok. We didn't get nearly the problems with this ice storm that we did last time. But we're thinking of you all, and my muddy Goldens wish they were up there playing in your snow. I wish they were too!!! At least they wouldn't have mud everywhere!!!! :rolleyes:

Stay warm you guys and don't get lost in a snowdrift!!!! :)

HeHe! My boss left for Vermont this past Wednesday for a few days of skiing. He shouldn't have bothered! The worst part of it is that he drove up and now he is worried about the return trip home. I don't think many of the airports are open either, so no matter how you look at it travel is pretty much at a stand still and he would have had a problem either way.

How is your snow up there in Vermont Sallyanne?

Here's our snow!

Poor Brian shoveling:

Here in the Midwest, we periodically get these kind of snow storms, but Pam yours is one that would make even a Midwesterner gasp. The nice part about living in an area that does get frequent snow is that we are ready for it. The snow plows start warming their engines at the first few flakes whenever there is a storm warning. The major roads get taken care of first and then the side streets. Problem is every time one of the snow plows goes down the street, it will push up a pile right in front of your freshly shoveled (snow blowers used mainly) driveway.

Although we had blizzard conditions last Friday, it didn't leave much snow in the wake. The yard is white, but that is about it. I think the states to the east of us got our share and theirs as well. Sorry about that, but I don't miss the ordeal of trying to shovel to even open the back door and then a path so there is somewhere for the dogs to *go*. One year we had to use the driveway, which meant I had to go out with the dogs on leashes. It was awful because in addition to all that snow it was bitter cold.

You all try to stay safe. Don't overdo on the shoveling. Do a little bit at a time as with the cold it is very hard on the heart.

Here is a pic of Christian and Dandy watching the snowfall :) I have others, but they are on my husbands computer, and he is using it now...so i'll post moire snow pics later.

If the plow ever gets to my street I will tell him to cart it away to Indiana! :D I have no idea where Philadelphia is going to put all of this snow. I think in our last bad storm they had to dump some of it into the Delaware River!

Mugsy....

I'll split it with you! It's dry as a bone here. We were promised 8 inches on Friday.....nothing! Every snow "just misses" us. My sister down by Peoria got our 8 inches...

I'll hold you to that Pam!! Do you think they'll road trip it to me???

Pam, there are so many different elevations to Vermont, that maybe your boss did find some snowy ski area. The further south and east you go, the more the snow fall, for this storm anyway.

We are to get the snow this afternoon and all through tonight. It is freezing cold right now!

I will keep you posted.
:D
