Snow Storm

[JuniorxMyxLove]

I'm so jealous of you guys!

I have a love-hate relationship of snow. I hate it, but I love having it.

Right now we have MAYBE 1 inch, if you look really hard. It's snowing right now, but I don't *think* we're supposed to get very much.

I'm in Richmond, VA and we have had about a foot. As I love looking at the snow, I hate it keeping me cooped up in the house. I left earlier for about an hour. I dug what I could from around my car, and then 2 neighbors gave me a quick push and off I went. I had to work until 8 last night, and although work is really close to my house, I managed to slide into the curb pretty hard last night and I didn't have my seat belt on ( I know, no lectures please ) and I hit my head on the top of my car. Went to sleep w/ a headache but have been fine today...I still have alot of Christmas shopping to do, too!!

My son is in Midlothian, and drove down from Frederick, Maryland last evening - after picking up his oldest son at Hood. He said it took him about 3 hours to get from Fredericksburg to home - normally a one hour jaunt.

When do you get out for Christmas? Schools closed yesterday, around here, and reopen on January 4th.

Our last day was the 18, and we go back January 4 as well! Two glorious weeks of no school

My cousin recently graduated from MSU and moved to Richmond, lol. Sorry, that's random.

We decided to use Beezer as our measuring device. sent him out into the snow to see where I came up to on him and then measured from there.

We have 15 inches so far

the dogs are bunny hopping through it LOL

Just an update from a little south of you...it's still going, but nowhere near as strong. I have no idea the total, but we have so far exceeded twenty inches I can't even imagine by how much. We plowed off about 9-12 inches earlier in the day and at least a foot has fallen since. This is unbelievable. I'll see if I can post pictures tomorrow.

I must say, I'm a bit disappointed in this storm. They were calling for 18", we might have 6" right now. At least I got to finish some Christmas projects since I was off from work today

I do have to admit the driving was awful when I left work. It was also quite funny to drive through separate sections and know which town/city/borough was responsible for plowing. One street would be clean, and the next would be scary.

Our storm has just started now, even though the forecasters were sure it would have started hours and hours ago ... we'll see how much we end up getting!

Count yourself lucky. We only ended up with 1 - 1 1/2 inches

I'm sorry, but after having seen the great blizzard of '78 with snow drifted to the roof of my house, and having to shovel snow into the bathtub to get out the sliding glass door; none of these 'blizzards' I've seen since look like much to me.

I've also noticed the more they hype it up, and the more people swamp the stores for supplies, the less snow we end up with.
