    Okay, now enough is Enough

    Alright, we just cleared the roads from 30 inches of snow. It's just starting snowing again and they're forecasting another 12-18 + inches.

    I'm a pretty upbeat guy, but I've got to admit, the news of another 1-2 feet of snow is really bumming me out. I can't believe the weather this winter; 20 inches in December, 30 inches this past weekend and another 18 inches tonight and tomorrow. Any 3 of these storms during a regular Winter would be news, but to have at least 3 major storms in one Winter is just too much.

    I wish I could be trapped in my house... Then I'd have a good excuse not to go to the gym!

    I just got done digging my car out after the first storm. I can't believe it is snowing here again. My boyfriend didn't make it to work on Friday and it looks like he won't be going tomorrow either. I swear the snakes know that it is snowing. They have just been climbing the walls lately! They seem to settle down once the storms pass.

    If it might snow here, the city thinks about shutting down.

    If it snows here and it sticks, the city does shut down.

    If it snows enough to make a snowman, the day will be spoken of for years to come and passed on to future generations. That's not a joke.

    Re: Okay, now enough is Enough

    I put off going out shopping until today because the weather people said it was going to rain/sleet/slow starting at 11 yesterday morning, but be clear by the afternoon today. Yeah, so it didn't start raining til 5 last night, and now we have "blizzard" conditions expected well into the evening today. It's been snowing since early this morning, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't get out of my driveway even if I wanted to. Why did I leave Vegas again?

    Stupid meteorologists. Never trust people who claim to know the future.

    Always been the same here, but this winter has been crazy. It snowed a few times and stuck a couple. It was no 2 feet of snow like they're getting up north but still

    Re: Okay, now enough is Enough

    I saw a report on the local TV station at noon that stated that Baltimore has 65.5 inches of snow so far this year. A larger amount than Chicago or Buffalo NY. This is one record I'd gladly not have been a part of.

    Measured in my back yard 34 inches from the first storm and just over 12 inches from this storm and it's still snowing. The wind has picked up and they're saying it's blowing at about 20 mph with gust to 35. They're also saying later this afternoon, winds could gust to 60 mph.

    A power outage is my biggest concern along with roof colapse.

    We had a firehouse in town have it's roof collapse, then started a fire. All equipment in the building was lost. Luckily the roof over the residence part of the building did not collapse, so no one was injued. However 2 paramedic unit and 2 fire trucks were destroyed. Also a military humvee was lost. A National Guard unit was dispatched to help them get to homes that are still snowed in during the first storm and was still there last night.

    It could have much worse!

    I wouldn't be surprised if that happened here too. People in California can't drive when it rains, if it snowed I think they'd shut down the roads just to make sure the stupid people don't drive.

    Of course, it would never snow here, but in the off chance it did...

    Re: Okay, now enough is Enough

    Well, this morning we had the first earthquake in 6 years over here. I could have sworn it was a big snow plow passing my house.
    And we got over a foot of snow.

    Fun stuff!
