OMG! Gonna get 10-16 inches today!

[LixyChick]

It started snowing at 9am and we are expecting it to go till sometime tomorrow...

Someone send me a lei and some snowshoes!!!!

[osuche]

How about a lay and some slippers...?? Stay inside and enjoy it, Lixy

[Oldfart]

Lixy, me and my 10-16" will be over sometime in the next couple of . . . .

Damn, that was "lei".

Note to self,, read slower, read better.

[Oldfart]

My 10-16" and I was probably more correct, but it's late and it's late.

[Scarecrow]

I'd try to help, but with the wind blowen snow I can't see to get there. We did not get the 10 to 16 inchs, that went north of here.

[Cheyanne]

We only got 4 inches.. but winds blowing 50 mph set out the Blizzard Warnings! I took some pics and will post them in another thread later! :D (If the wind doesn't blow the internet dish down.. lol)

[Irish]

I just had a Boston radio station(WRKO 680AM)on.They are predicting 20-30".
Irish
P.S.That's minimum.

[Neige]

We are getting all that tomorrow :D:D:D

[GingerV]

Dang, Lix...best to hunker down and pretend the nasty outside world doesn't exist this weekend, it sounds like. I'm sure you guys will find some way to fill the time. Hope it thaws out for you soon.

[MilkToast]

because it is still rather cold here (6F or -14C) even though the brunt of the storm is going by a little to the south the lake will provide enough additional that they are expecting about 2 feet by tomorrow morning!

Now if you'll excuse me there is a 4WD and a parking lot calling out "donuts" to me :D

[FallenAngel5]

dunno, Milk... up here in the Northtowns we got quite a bit today. :) But the winds shifting is bringin the lake effect here tonight. Bring it on! :)

[osuche]

Only about 3 in of snow...but there is a LOT of it blowing around in the air...near whiteout conditions. :(

[Coaster]

Please hog it all Lixy..... we don't want any more......

And besides, the Patriots play better in snow than the Steelers!

GO PATS!

[BIBI]

We here have about 8 inches of the white stuff.....

It was so bad that you couldn't see the house across the street.

[denny]

I am a transplant here, but I don't miss shoveling snow or raking leaves. Enjoy the winter beauty guys.

[kathy1]

Hope all the pixie snowbunnies stay safe and warm.

[LixyChick]

Hi Guys!

TY for all the replies...*giggle, giggle*

You guys are so funny just when I need it!

OK...well, it's 10:40[ish] now and it just stopped snowing and the sun came out to help the wind pick up....ARRGGGGGG! We plowed and shoveled till about 10pm (from 10am yesterday morning) last night and then you just can't take anymore...ya know? At times it was snowing about an inch every half hour, then it would slow to an inch every few hours...but it was steady from 9am yesterday till 8am this morning. We got about 13-14 inches, and now the winds will make the drifts. I haven't measured officially this morning...cause I can't bring myself and my sore arms to go out in it yet...lol! The snow is pretty light and dry, which is helpful for plowing and shoveling. But, we had to plow and shovel so much I got sore anyway.

OMG...I can hear the wind hawking as I type! EEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

And...can you say "snowblind"? [SNOWBLIND: The result of a dumbass looking directly at the pure white snow...exactly at the spot where the sun is shining on it.]

UP YOURS MOTHER NATURE!!!!

[cherrypie7788]

Send some of it here so I don't have to go to class tomorrow! I was so excited when it started snowing last night here, only to wake up to sunshine :rolleyes2 I guess that's how it goes.

[gekkogecko]

So, how come you're hoarding all the snow up there? We didn't even get what was predicted around here.

We are getting the high winds and severe cold that was predicted after the snow, though.

[Neige]

We have gotten about a foot and a half here til now... and it's not letting up yet!!!! I just came back in from snowshoeing, and the snow is soooo fluffy it's almost easier to walk in it in boots than the snowshoes!!! Such fun!!! :jump:

[Sharni]

When i first read this thread title..it was NOT snow that came to mind :D:D

[Oldfart]

Sharni, surely not!

BTW, did I just hear a giggle from Florida?

[LixyChick]

You guys are pips! Oh..and PixieSprite...awwwwwwwww! Hang on hun! It's a doosey!

OK...I'm heading outside to feed my birds (cause they are about to storm my house if I don't put some seed, thistle and suet cakes where they can get um) and face the winds that are making the snow drift all over my shoveling. OMG! I can't see where the sidewalk is anymore!!!!!!!

What month is this...and how much longer till spring?

[Neige]

They are saying on the radio that we have gotten 63 cm so far (about 2 feet) and it's still falling :D:D:D

[jay_ba]

ahhhh snow. That's that really cold, white, fluffy stuff that I only see in the mountains.

I haven't seen snow since I went south last year, and that was on the top of a volcano close to the Chilean border. I do kind of miss it, though.

[LixyChick]

Hey jay ba! Don't cry for me (cause he's in Argentina...get it...lmao)! Just send me your addy and I'll send some (500,000,000 gallons) snow your way if you miss it so! *giggle*

And...it's snowing again...since 2:30pm today...expecting about 2-3 more inches. They promised sun today and we got it...for about 15 minutes!

Oi...I've gotta look at the map and find a place where the sun shines ALL THE TIME! Ahhhhhhh...that'd be The Florida Keys, according to the radio station SUN104.5

I'm calling Capt'n Skip Radene of the Blue Chip II, and telling him I want a job swabbing the deck and cleaning the fish!
