Cnd, I'm 100 miles west of Pittsburgh. They will have snow on the ground, but the roads and airport will be clear by Friday.

12" tonight and possibly another 12" tomorrow! Then probably some more "flurries" after that. Accck! Our airport is already behind with flights since there are delays at other airports.

My DD was at SUNY Oswego, but graduated last May. It's their county where there's the record snowfall for last week. That little town they mentioned on the news is very close to the college. The last major snowfall they had like that was her freshman year, so she's glad she's not there now. Now we're going to get it.. her fiance took the day off tomorrow since he's a volunteer fireman and their station is "on call" for the storm.

We have a cold front coming through, lows tonight in the upper 20's, with lots of wind (20-30 mph). Weatherman said we may actually see some snow flurries...that means if you look really, really close you may see a white fleck falling and then melting before it hits the gound!

WhooHoo!

LOL Oldtex! I remember when my sisters called all excited from Phoenix one year (can't remember what year, tho). Just a few flurries but enough to call it SNOW. Later they bought T-shirts that said:
I Survived the Phoenix Blizzard of 19 x x !

LOL @ you too NT! I've been hoping that the cold/snow that we had a few weeks ago will kill off some bugs here in Seattle too. Our flea populations have been merciless the past few years. My vet says it takes 2 wks of freeze to make a dent (not that it helps with the inside critters!)

Forecast tomorrow is R-A-I-N & 50 degrees in Seattle.
Fine by me, I've had enough snow for one year. Bisc

Bisc - that's too funny about the t-shirts.

Actually what we normally get in the way of winter mix is ICE! Limbs and 2 trees are still down in my yard from the ice storm we had in January. But, since we live out in the country, it's no big deal. One day dh will get in the "mood" to crank up the chain saw LOL!

Hope everyone stays warm and safe from old man winter. Remember what the ground hog said. Like we can trust old Phil.

I remember one year around 77 when it snowed (flurries) in Ft. Lauderdale. I was in high school. One kid yelled it was snowing and the whole school including the teachers ran outside..LOL In case you want to check it out:

I'm hoping you all stay safe and warm!

School buses are cancelled here, it is clear outside at this time, they are expecting about 1 inch of snow today. Geesh - I hate it when they cancel buses and they really don't need to. The plows have actually been out early this morning and roads are open. Kids are bummed

I just called in, and who knows about tomorrow. Because we are getting 18-24inches of snow. They just closed the state legislative offices here.

Twiggyish, I was living in Tampa in the mid to late 70's, and we had snow there once, possibly the same time as the Miami snow. Tampa got about one inch. I lived five minutes from work, and it took me an hour and five minutes to get to work. They closed all the expressways, but didn't have enough police cars to keep people off the expressways, so people kept sneaking on. And when they would sneak on, they would promptly smack up. It was total chaos.

My front porch and walkway about 3 hours after the yard boy shoveled it all clear.

The front steps and road with the pile of snow he plowed this morning.

The driveway which was all cleared out a few hours ago...

I was going to take a picture of the raised beds in the backyard to give you an idea of how high the snow is, but I couldn't get the back door open.

I have to resize a bunch of pictures I just took. Wow.. the snow was up to bottom of both doors and I could only push the front door partially open. All the schools are closed. My son is thrilled. Even his college is closed!

I remember when it snowed in the late 70s in Tampa! I have a friend who moved down there right after HS and she was going to college there and she thought it was hysterical how excited everyone was about an inch of snow after living here all her life! I remember her sending me pics of it, but I have no idea where they are now! Everyone who moves from here to somewhere south think it's a riot when the cities close down with an inch or 2 of snow. That's nothing for us. Brush off the car and go! LOL

Here's an article I found: Snow In Tampa

I took a few pictures of what the freezing rain did to our snowfall last night.


The front yard to the south:




To the north:




The backyard:




And this is the road where I work at 8am this morning. The reddish building on the left is mine:




Coming home tonight, most of the main and secondary roads were clean and wet. The road crews are doing a great job.

Wow guys!!! Be safe!! That's making me cold just looking at the pictures. How awful!

Juju, I bet it was the same time. It snowed in the Keys that day, too.

Juju - Is it the University of South Florida in Tampa? I keep trying to remember the name of the school my friend went to after leaving NY.

My DH got home just as I finally dug out to get our little electric snow blower out of the garage. Between the 2 of us, it took us at least 1 1/2 hrs and it was filling up on what we had already done before we could get it all done! I was so hot from working so hard and then the chill starts....... and Brrrrrrrrr...taking forever to get warm! Just took the dog out and found a snowball in my coat pocket. LOL

Half - I think I hate ice storms more than snow storms, esp. after the 2 big ones we had. Those were crazy!
