Ultimate snow (dialup warning!)

Not bad! We got a good amount here in MI in the last couple days. Yesterday the tv was flashing 3 different types of warnings including blizzard! Its pretty nice out today or so it looks but there is a ton of snow and man is it cold! My facial hair was freezing in less than a block away from the house when we took the dogs for a walk. Shoveled the drive when we got back...what I wouldn't give for a snow blower...but I guess its good exercise.


...stay warm!

Great city, we plow all snow into the harbour and tow it out to sea :)

WHOA.....!!
That first pic really floored me.. the rest of the pics reminded me of several blizzards we had in Buffalo; one in 2005 was just wicked. That is a pretty huge amount of snow there.

Wow; you know it's cold when anything in your nose, freezes up as soon as you go outside. :) I had jeans on that were wet on the bottoms because I had walked in show, and within seconds they were frozen solid (boot-cut jeans, wide bottoms.) Now we are getting that bitingly cold weather.

WOOOHOOOO! I got a call tonight from one of my building principles...that school is already closed for tomorrow. I'm fairly certain that means my other school will be down as well. Can we say extra sleep in day for me! :P

Just so every one knows here it was 75 and sunny. :D

dang that looks awful!!

I'm in Minneapolis and we dont have anything like that this year. we're like 35 or so inches below average for the winter by this time.

its been COLD though....minus degrees lately.

ya know when its real cold and your nose hairs freeze up when you breathe?

*shudder*

*looks upward*

PLEASE let it warm up soon :)

Haha, Syracuse isn't much better right now Ginevive. It was down to -3 here last night. I work at the airport from 3am to 10am and THAT'S cold. The wind chills go to 15 below! Nutty I tell ya, plain nutty.

you're so lucky!!!!

im so jealous....

the most we have had is like half an inch :(

I want like 3 feet or more :rolleye2:

Bleh; it's been snowing all night pretty-much; I doubt we will be able to get up the driveway today. I only hope that our power does not go out.. I am not prepared for it and our water and heat will go off if that happens. Only thing I could do if that happens is light the stove with a match and heat water to keep warm until it runs out as the well is pumped by electricity.. maybe we could borrow or buy a generator, if we could get to Lowe's.. and to top it off, I have the flu! I think someone is calling off of work today.. thanks to BP.net, I looked it up and saw that it was exactly a month ago that I called off last.. so no writeups!

I grew up in Alberta Canada...so I know what snows all about. Fortunately for me, I moved down here to South Carolina about 7 years ago, and haven't seen more than a couple inches of snow for a day or two the entire time. Can't complain, I DO NOT miss waking up and shoveling the driveway.
