Well, according to our local paper, Danbury got 12-18". So much for my guess-timates! I still have film left in my camera, so I will take some pics and share. It's all the way up to 20 degrees right now! Big improvement! Wow, LL, that is something! I haven't seen snow like that since 1964, when I was a junior in high school. I remember that snow!

LL you certainly have had your share of winter in the east coast. I am glad that we are not getting quite as much snow here in Ontario.

Wait till I get someone to post the pictures I got today after the storm was over, we got a lot more snow than in the pictures. The kids are loving it. School has already been cancelled for tomorrow.

Guess this is the best place to put this... according to some British scientists, January 24th is THE most depressing day of the year, according to their formula: [W + (D-d)] x TQ M x NA The equation is broken down into seven variables: (W) weather, (D) debt, (d) monthly salary, (T) time since Christmas, (Q) time since failed quit attempt, (M) low motivational levels and (NA) the need to take action. LINK So, if you felt overly crappy today, you CAN blame it on the weather today!

Yikes! Okay, maybe when I was a kid the snow did come halfway up over the windows after all.

What a weekend! I'm finally online! YAY!!! As Secretsmile told you all, the utility pole at the end of my street came down with quite the BOOM!! Lost electricity, cable, phone and internet all at once. N Star came out pretty quickly, but it was a big job. Power finally came back on about 2:30 am Sunday. By then it was 58 degrees in here. I think it finally stopped snowing around 3pm Sunday. Official tally at Logan International Airport was 25 inches I believe. I live about 15 miles of Logan, and I'd say I got about 30. It drifted a lot, so it's hard to tell. All I know is there's a freakin' lot of snow out there! The cable company was out here today, and I now have cable, phone and internet. I can live without TV. I can live without internet. But I cannot live without both of them. LOL I felt so cut off from the world. I'm hoping to get someone to come and shovel out the driveway tomorrow. Thank you Secretsmile for being there and keeping me from freaking out! And thank you all for keeping me in your thoughts.

Thanks Yankee and Babyruth! I'm so glad to be back! In my previous post that should have been, "I live about 15 miles south of Logan."

War, All I know is when I lived in Michigan they plowed the store parking lots into big piles all over the place. We would still have snow in these piles until late April or May.

Its the cars that are the hard part. People get stuck in the snow and leave their cars and intersections look like parking lots and roads are clogged with cars.

GADS, that looks just terrible (and beautiful at the same time!) I have pictures in the family album of that much snow in Manistee (just off of Lake Michigan). My baby brother was really overdue and the snow kept dumping and Dad kept shoveling. You had to have a flag on a 6 foot pole on the back of your car to drive. Guess that was the only way that you could see other cars at the intersections. Thank God I don't remember it. Over 40 years later, and Dad STILL will talk about all that shoveling. War, that kind of snow just doesn't really melt. Some of it will get packed into really hard, crusty snow. Some will get glazed over and turn into ice balls. We should have a prediction poll to guess when Ll will finally see grass! I'm thinking May or June! Keep warm Ll, and may your snowblower not fail!

Lol , we don't have a snow blower, just a shovel but we will get a backhoe in here sometime today. I will post a picture when the snow goes, but it will be by April for sure, when the rain comes. Oh and now they are predicting another storm by weeks end.

Yep, I remember those winter "dumps" down east, LL. In case you are getting tired of the white stuff, buy a big ole snowblower, next year you'll just get a sprinkle, trust me.LOL

I ran to the store awhile ago, and first thing I thought when I walked out was, "this is walking on the beach in the morning weather!" All we're missing is the water, lol. It's a little overcast (cuz I think Pcakes is sending her rain our way?,) no breeze at all, it's cool, but you can feel the warmth of the sun even if you can't see it. I know the rain is coming back (which reminds me I have to send Darren to buy the last tarp for the roof tonight.) Not quite sure when it's supposed to start though. LOL, I heard a local newscaster announce last night that summer was over and winter was on it's way back.
