and the furry zoo
We had six inches of snow last weekend and for a place that it hardly ever snows, that's A LOT for us. And we've had 3 2 hour delays, 2 early dismissals, and 2 snow days. Our school NEVER EVER lets out. It has to be hardcore awful for us to get out.
And now we're expecting another inch of snow this weekend.

We can't buy a snowstorm this year.

Being a stupid Cah lee fuh nee ah makes me ask this question!
Is it called a Nor'easter because if it's said with the "TH" sound, your tongue freezes to your upper lip?

Could be that the person who coined it, had no front teeth, and had no way of pronouncing the "th" part of north, so it just became "nor".Originally Posted by RICHARD

Send it here! I LOVE snowstorms!
"Nor'easter" - I am thinking of the Irish accents of those in Newfoundland, some of whose traveling partners might well have made it to the NE of the USA. That might explain the pronunciation...
Gonna Google this...
Interesting...something to read while the snow flies...

Ok it's starting to snow here now!
State College snow starting at 3 p.m.
It's not coming down fast just wet.
I went out to the grocery store at lunch time today and wouldn't you know it, everyone else in the world was there. Go figure.
Well I'll be putting out some food for my outside boy and hope he has a warm place to go to.
I wish he would be more friendly so I could find him a forever home but he wont' even go in the trap now.

Maybe it was the Newfoundlanders. They probably came up with "down east Maine" too.
