No snow in Texass.............cool and overcast........chance of rain that prolly won't happen:(:(........we keep getting robbed:(:(

My heart goes out to all those back East:(:(

i have a friend in maine. she reported 22 inches this morning with another 8 -12 to follow today. very gusty winds.

I've been snowed in since Oct 16, our first snow fall that stuck. We have about 4 feet of snow. Yes, we have snow ploughs, but they don't seem to come around very often.

I know it seems like a crisis to those who get that "first" snowfall in Feb. but those of us in Northern Canada just have to laugh when people freak out about winter. And yes, we have many accidents, and things have to close down here all the time because of impassible roads. That is for 6 months, not a few days.

I have got to get out of this place. Winters are too deep and too long, when I hear people complaining about a couple of feet of snow, and it makes the National News. That is just a normal winter's day here. Sigh!

Aaaaaaah to be a Cannuck...
Unless you are in Toronto, where they call the army, lol

Gee Kristie.... you Canadians think 4 feet of snow on the ground is nothing.

I live in Connecticut and the town I live in has 33 inches from this storm. Not much to a Canadian but here we just set a record for most snow in one storm by about 9 inches. It was so bad that the wind blew the snow against my front door and back door and I could not get out. A friend came over the next morning and shoveled my back door clear. The roads in the major cities like New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford and New London are a mess. Plows are stuck and tow trucks that are need to get them out are getting stuck. Yesterday the traffic on the major interstates was one or two lanes of bumper to bumper 20 mph mess. So I wish I was in San Diego where I was during the '78 blizzard that shut the state down, lying on the beach sunning myself.

Wow, that sounds like Winnipeg in the mid 80s, the only thing that could travel in the city, for three days were fourwheelers and skidoos. Took three days for the city to clear the major arteries and some side street were closed (snowed in) for weeks.
The Trans Canada was closed for 1/2 a day until they got all the folks out of their snowbanks, I mean cars.
Hope you guys are OK.

LOL!!!!
This isn't exactly the one I was looking for (there's many variations of this joke out there), but this will do for now!!

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.

#6 Dero ---- this really isn't all that bad. I got food, heat and housing. Oh and my DirecTV works just fine. While we may have had a lot of snow this is nothing. Our record for one season is 109 inches which is a lot for around here. For us to break that record, we need another 76 inches. Worst storm so far was the Halloween storm just after Tropical Storm Irene. We had trees full of leaves come down and take out the lines. We went 10 days without power and took a week to open the roads. So this is nothing.

LOL. Eulen........loving that!

And Deb........when are you going to change your outfit????
