KC, we were in a warning until 2pm today, but they have already cancelled it. Yesterday they were predicting up to 7-10 inches...we ended up with about 2-3

In fairness, they got almost a foot elsewhere in the state.

Between this evening and through tomorrow, they're predicting between 12-18 inches here. Supposed to be some sleet in between the snow. Whoopie!

Here in east central Indiana it has been snowing for 4 hours and we are under a winter storm warning. Depending on the track of the storm we are to get sleet, freezing rain, ice, and snow with an accumulation of up to 17 inches. I'll take the heavy snow any day over freezing rain and ice.

God bless our good old Northwest. The more I read from all of you, the better Oregon looks.

It's been sooo temperate here, in the mid 30s most days. It snowed about half an inch on Thursday and everyone made such a fuss. Big deal, right?

How do you keep warm when there is no power for 40 hours and all you have is 1 space heater run on a generator?



everyone moves into one small room with the doors closed. We had to move into the Kitchen everytime the power went out on our island. We had an old fashioned wood stove so would have hot water from the small tank and could cook.

***********

To add to my previous post, which I'm sure most people dont believe, it is also important to complain to any officials and Hydro people about WHY the branches are not being trimmed way back from the hydro wires.

When it was government, we rarely had power out in the cities. Now that the job has been privatized to a 'for profit' company, they chose to only do some locations and even then, they barely trim back. First big wind storm and they get substadized (sp!?) to do 'clean up' for the cities. it is a huge scam IMHO.

I'm just suggesting that if people are unhappy about the resulting interruptions in power, that you have to keep up on complaint to officials.

As for being on topic, rain rain RAIN! our usual West Coast Winter.

but there are still piles of slush in parking lots from that piled up snow a few weeks ago

Spy, would Ducky and the rest of the Ducky family be in that harder hit part of your state? We've been quackless since she posted some pictures of hard hit trees nearby.

Here it has been beautiful looking but colder than usual and since I'm not living with central heat (or even a heater upstairs), I'm piling on assorted Little Giraffe items and down comforters at night and encouraging one small warm cat to snuggle up.. Also wearing flannel and cozy/chic..

They predicted between 5-10 inches of snow for us from last night 8pm to Sunday at midnight...100% chance of heavy snow. LOL. It didn't snow at all overnight, and it started snowing a little around 2pm this afternoon. I mean, I'm glad, because I needed to get some Christmas shopping done, but this is the 2nd weekend in a row they have been calling for disasters that didn't happen...last week was supposed to be another ice storm like the one we had in January...ack, thank God they were wrong about that.

It's like they want to freak us out almost! I think I need to move somewhere warm!

Now we are getting alerts for two more storms lining up to hit us on the coast. This time made sure we got gas for the generators, batteries for the flashlights and plenty of candles. Maybe if we are prepared it won't be so bad. The biggest problem is that so many trees were damaged in the last storm and they can hit the power lines again.

Jbean, did I tell you I love the picture of you and Keith Urban? When I first saw it I thought OMG her guy looks just like Keith...and then it dawned on me that it is Keith. Lucky you..and you just glow in that picture!

We're predicted to get about 2 ft. here up near Lake Ontario. I'm west of Huk and sometimes it hits her before me or she gets it from Erie worse than I do, but I get it worse from Ontario. LAKE EFFECT snow... whooopie.. UGGH!

Well, after days of warnings for this storm here in SW Ontario, it has finally started snowing and blowing. Still see neighbours yard lights (living in the country, you base your weather and how bad it is if you cannot see a particular neighbours light a 1/4 mile away lol) So we will see when the sun comes up if we are heading to church this morning. We may just grab our dd (she stayed at a friends last night a few miles away) and snuggle up for the day and pray for NO SNOW DAY MONDAY - this is my day off this week and I need to do some last minute wrapping with no children around.

Will up date later..and everyone else in the storm .... stay safe!

We were supposed to get 2-3" overnight, then sleet in the early a.m., then another 14" or so starting around noon. Well...we got around 6" last night, and the sleet is starting. We'll see whether they were right about the snow later. It's going to be one of those 2 or 3 snowblowing kinda days here! If it gets deep and pretty, I'll take some pics for you poor people who only see a flake or two (or none!) for Christmas. It's always a white Christmas around here!

these are some pictures I took an hour ago. Will take more later if we get a ton more snow. We are all home now so we can relax and nestle in for the day.

I love the snow. I wish we had more steady snow where we are instead of it always snowing and melting and snowing and melting. IMO snow is fun - a sloppy mess isn't.

I've got snow, too! Not quite as much as Skootz, but that's 'cause she's in the snow belt and I'm in the "banana belt". Storms almost always pass over us here in Windsor, Essex County. But last night we got 10-15 cm. or 4 or 5 in.
We're supposed to get more tonight.

Sunshyne that wasn't a serious question - it was a set up for the picture I posted of my dad's dog and cat snuggling [Though my dad and brother WERE W/O electricity for 40+ hours last week.]

We are to get some more tonight too..not sure total we got..but it was lots. Dh took the tractor and snow blower out late this afternoon and cleaned out the laneways...he pushed snow from the barn area and brought it all back and made a huge pile in the back yard for the kids...now they are looking for a snow day so they can play in this heap.

And it does look pretty tonight with the lights showing through.

Wow, I just tried to take my Border Collie Jackson for a walk and could not even find the sidewalk. The snow is a good 3 feet deep and we are still expecting another 10 centimetres tonight. I doubt the sidewalks and bus stops will be cleared by the morning rush hour. It's looking like another snow day tomorrow, my son will be ecstatic.

Mom...not so much lol.
