Can we talk about snow?

[awick14]

So we have gotten 15-18 inches in the last 24/36 hours depending on the area you are in. WTF we never get this much snow at once.

AND it's STILL snowing!?!?!?

Pic is of my car at work this morning. I had to wipe it off and dig myself out of the parking spot.

[awick14]

And here is our walk way. It's not the greatest pic but this is after 4x shoveling. Ugh.

[MrsMB]

No...no....and NO.....

We haven't gotten any snow so far...KNOCK ON WOOD. Sometimes we get lucky and barely get any I get my fill of it when I visit DH's family for the holidays.

[awick14]

We've gotten so much snow that the schools called a snow day. The first in 35 YEARS! :/

[rockinrobyn]

We have about 2" right now with another 3-7"(way to narrow that down) expected tonight along with below zero temps.

I keep telling myself in the winter that I do really love my H. He is the reason I had to move north and I try to remind myself that I love him and want him to have a career that he loves, that is why I moved.

[ginkgoleaf]

It snowed enough to stick for the first time this year. It's also effing cold. I could really do without it, even though I realize we've been lucky so far this winter.

[HoneySpider]

Ugh, sorry awick14

We're supposed to get a little bit overnight into tomorrow morning, nothing much only about an inch if even that. I am excited, I like snow in small amounts especially after not seeing it very much for the past 8 years.

[estrellita]

Yuck. We had a storm like that in early November when I had to dig my way out of my parking spot! We've been fairly lucky that it's just cold right now (if you consider that lucky, lol) and we haven't had a ton of snow. This "luck" probably won't last much longer!

[Skyesthelimit1212]

We haven't gotten any yet this year, which is surprising since last year snow was insane. We are getting a "arctic Blast" starting on Thursday though.

[pooh8402]

Hell no. I like snow but I hate the cold that comes with it. I prefer to go visit snow then wave bye bye to the cold at the end of my trip.

That amount you have there? No thank you.

[krystee]

Every year at this time, H's pleas to move to a warmer climate start to make me think...and then right before I'm ready to agree, April comes and I adore Chicago again and refuse to move.

Yikes, that's so much snow! Here we have just an inch or so on the ground, but it's super cold. 14 degrees (-10 C). I can't believe that's the first snow day in 35 years! Here there are 3-5 snow days every year.

[Deleted]

F-that! I hate snow. I keep trying to get DH to move down south, but he likes the change in seasons. He loves the snow. We are getting a few inches tomorrow.

That's crazy that it's the first snow day in 35 years. They close school if there is a threat of snow here. It's ridiculous.

[spankswife]

Wow!!! It's so pretty though! (says the girl who has only seen it once).

[travelbug]

Yuck. Snow. It snowed here today, too. We are supposed to get a lot this weekend... noooooo. My H and are already know we won't live in the midwest for our whole lives. We just detest the cold!

[estrellita]

It's snowing now. Grr! At least it's not supposed to be a ton. It's really light right now.

[tiptoetulips]

I'm a teacher so I say bring it on! My husband also does all snow removal so I sit inside and watch the pretty!

[bk1]

Wow. There is no way I could live somewhere that gets that much snow. I can't imagine! We only get it a couple times a year.

[awick14]

ginkgoleaf- I couldn't imagine not having snow that sticks. Do you never get to go tobogganing?

HoneySpider- not having any snow would make me sad.

estrellita- I was saying that we are so lucky it's just snowing and not cold too. Lol.

@moonbeam- because we are used to getting this much snow it's very very rare to have a snow day, normally though we get this much snow per month not in a 36 hr period.

@emtmissy- the threat of snow closes schools? Lol

spankswife- only seen snow once??

DH did all the shoveling other then the walkway today. I shoveled for 20 mins the. My lungs hurt and I slept for 6 hrs this morning/afternoon.

It took DH 2 1/2 hrs to shovel our driveway. (And help the tenant dig themselves out.)

[ginkgoleaf]

awick14, I'm in the Chicago area, so we certainly get snow that sticks! I think we broke a record for least snow ever for the month of december. Seems it's going to start getting back to normal now though. :/

[spankswife]

awick14 Yep! Born and raised in S FL. Been here my while life. And now that imam accountant and tax season is jan-apr, my window of opportunity is pretty slim. That's why I want to go to Lake Placid next NYE.

My H likes seasons too. Even though he is allergic to most of them. I could totally move back down south. I HATE cold weather.

[anyastroud]

Up date

There is a lot more than 4" out there and it's still coming down. Snow day for the kids. I will be dragging myself to work in an hour. Fuck this weather.

[estrellita]

awick14 It snowed last night and it's below zero. Sigh. Haha. At least it was only maybe an inch or two!

[estrellita]

My cousin is near Baltimore and she has been whining and complaining all day about the snow. She mentioned earlier they had like 2-3 inches. Her H posted a pic and I'm sorry, but it looks like what we got last night. I get that they're less prepared than we are, but come on! We get a foot and a half of snow and it's business as usual, although I think the schools did close that time. Sorry to be bitchy but I don't have much sympathy for people who whine as much as she has been all day for that small amount of snow!

ETA: I hope no one thinks this was a passive aggressive post against anyone here complaining about small amounts of snow. If you saw her FB posts all day, you'd understand why I'm so annoyed, lol.
