Snow!

We have 18 inches of snow that started just yesterday! It is supposed to continue through this evening with an additional 10 inches. Needless to say, I am staying in today and cleaning my scrap room and then scrappin! Karen M

Wow - that is a lot at once

Great times for staying in and scrapping - be sure to get some pics - snow pictures are some of my favorites

karen, where do you live? That is way to much snow LOL

Southwest PA. This is freaky weather even for PA. It's so pretty though! Karen M

Someone else mentioned their swap items might be late due to a snowstorm! Looks like you're getting more then she mentioned to me yesterday! I live in MN and we only have about six inches in our yard, I'm glad I don't live on the east coast....lol

Wow - Helen - only 6"??? we have about a foot. Iced over on top, other than the new 2-4".

I live in South East PA. It has finally stopped snowing, and DH is going out to clear the driveway. 19.5 inches on the front step and I can't find my camera!!!

It was snowing a little last night, but it melted and it didn't last very long. The last couple of days it's been 20 - 30 degrees and it's been sloshy outside......maybe it's a couple of inches more, but not much more then that. I'm just glad we're not getting any more snow, well at least for now.

It just stopped snowing and the grand total is......23 inches. I have a friend near who has 30. Karen M

All that snow makes me smile. I know the hassles/headaches with it, but also remember back to being first married and getting 24" one night. We were outside playing in the snow - some other college students joined us too

Karen - are you getting some scrapping done?

Here's what my front yard looks like right now according to my DH, who's home alone. I'm indoors at a hotel for a 3-day crop (soon to be a 4-day or possibly 5-day crop) as no one can go home Sunday. The cropping continues ...

Omgosh! That snow looks heavy! I hope that's not ice too!

I think I'll turn on the TV and listen to the news for a bit

Beautiful! However, I know that much can be a PIA as well

Have fun cropping - hope you brought a few extra supplies

No snow here thank goodness. I am not a big fan lol. Sorry to all of you hardest hit. Season is a long way from over. Hope we don't get a big storm here.

According to my DH it is not the fluffy stuff we had in our December storm, it's the heavy snow. Best of all, on Tuesday we're expecting a minimum of 6 more inches of snow or a wintery mix. Hope to get out of the hotel tomorrow after DH finishes digging out. Luckily, the scrappers I was with had enough supplies to keep going. We may be out of clothes, but we had scrap supplies to scrap with!

We lost internet, phone and tv! Still not back up. I'm at the church just so I could get out of the house and talk to you all. Karen M

Wow guys! You all be safe. The snow is coming down here in big pretty flakes. But no accumulation yet. I am secretly hoping for a snow day tomorrow so I have an excuse to scrap all day. It's bad when even the teacher wants a snow day.

Well, I'm back home today. We stocked up on food in preparation for tomorrow's "weather event". I wish I could say I'll be cleaning during the next few days of snow -- I will likely be scrappin' however!

d.

Glad you finally made it home - hope you are having fun scrapping!

Just home - our snow is just 3-4 inches per day (day 3 of this now - to stop tomorrow then resume later in the week).

Interesting part - it is coming down sideways. Visibility when outside of a city is really not too hot (about 1/4 mile if lucky). Oh well - errands finished - a few more school things, then scrap stuff here I come

The only good thing about this weather is that it forces us to slow down and spend time with family. Of course, I could talk. I imagine having kids and spouses hanging around 24/7 for days on end will make some people batty! Not for me though ... no kids around here and DH heads to his man-cave to commune with his video games. He shows his face periodically to check on me and say hi, watch a movie together or eat! Love the new face of togetherness.

My kids are wondering why they had school today! I'm just glad they did...lol

The roads are very bad out and guess what???? Tyler is finally driving again! It's just when we say he can and he needed to drive today, because I couldn't drive him to his internship that started today. I hope he listens to what I told him over and over again...........drive very slow the roads are very slippery!!! I hope he doesn't get into another accident, if he does I believe MN takes his license away.

Good luck

Ds had to call me to ask me for # of tow truck he pays, but he was sitting in a ditch facing south on a northbound highway!!

Must be bad - they just canceled hockey that has never happened before - I can remember driving through a blizzard to get to a game once - yes we are nuts

The roads are really bad!!! I haven't drove on roads this bad in sometime now and Tyler made it without having an accident...............

Trying to finish up loads and loads of laundry! The storm knocked our power out! No power/heat for 6 hours on Friday night. Then it came on for half an hour on Sat. morning. Then off completely again. It got down to 38 degrees in the house. Kids were crying from being so cold. We all looked like fat penguins we had so many clothes on! And buried deep in the fleece blankets. Yesterday morning we called the local hotel which had power and heat and a room! After the plow made a narrow path we slipped and sloshed our way to the hotel. Our neighbor called to say it had come back on at 3:30 a.m. I came back home to check everything at about 2:00 pm and the house was finally warmed up to 68 degrees. There are still thousands without power. Another storm is on its way, too! They just changed the forecast a bit ago for tomorrow from 5 to 10 inches to 10 -20 inches!. They are saying that nothing like this has hit this area in over 100 years! The tree at the side of our house split in two from the weight of the snow. Didn't hit the house, though! No school today or tomorrow. (They will have to go longer into June to make up the time). Hoping there's no more power outages!

Good luck and stay warm

Our communications bundle has been out since Sat. So frustrating but at least we still have power. But by Thursday we are supposed to get another 13-16 inches! I am starting to feel rather housebound. But I am scrapping. Karen M

Totally get the housebound thing - hope you are doing ok - scrapping is fun, but i hope your communications stuff is restored soon.

Out 4-wheeling this am (necessity, not fun) - love pulling a trailer through snow and on ice with moving animals inside ROFL - NOT. However, the 4wd on my truck is fun when there are open areas of snow - however, if it is much over a foot or two, I don't go in - don't want to have to call and say I am stuck

It's a no school day ........lol One good thing is that I got to sleep in Charley was up and playing games at 6:30am and Tyler sleep in until 10:30 like I did!

I haven't even looked outside yet, but it must not be good if school was canceled.

wow - sun is out and shining here schools are open and roads are starting to clear (ice is melting - love that sun! )

While making lunch I looked out and it looks fine Either the boys lied to me, or the school messed up on canceling today(((it would be the time the schools here messed up)))!
