Western New York (about 30 miles to the East of Twinkie and 30 miles to the West of Watching2):

We probably got somewhere in the vicinity of 10" yesterday, and got another maybe 4"-5" overnight. It's snowing like a monster out there and they say to expect 4 more inches this afternoon and around 10" more overnight tonight.

All this and now we can expect winds of 30 mph to blow it all over the place. They are recommending no unnecessary travel everywhere, but haven't yet closed highways that I've heard.

I bought the fixins to make a big ol' pot of Spanish Rice today. Nothin like it on a stormy day (except for chili, which I made just a couple of weeks ago). Oh, and I have those yummy bunny cookies that you just pop on a pan and bake. Those will be for tonight once I'm done with my last snow-plowing/shoveling for the day.

It's an Oxycodone kinda day for my back. Whee!!

I guess I shouldn't complain (((Huk))) sounds like you are getting hammered there too. Stay safe!

They just closed all of our roads, so it's a good day to spend at TVCH!

I'm a former snowbelter, Gumby. I love this stuff! We are supposed to travel to my Dad's house up near the lake tomorrow. I think they'll have things cleaned up by then.

Unit is fortunate he is off this weekend. The cruisers are rear wheel drive and are just awful in this weather. Especially when they're trying to get somewhere fast, lol.

I am itching to go out and take some snow pictures.

I could have my windows and doors open too Dipo, however with my pictures below (very much a like Half's) I think I will keep them closed.




dd's skating Mini Olympics was cancelled just in the last 1/2 hour, and that is good, cause it is not nice out.

We've been getting the same storm as Skootz, but probably not quite as bad. It's been snowing-freezing rain all day....but not very much accumulation. (I don't know where it's going!!) The roads are a mess..slippery and slushy. I had to go out often today..DS to work for 6A.M. DH to work for 7:30AM, me to the clinic for re-fills on scrips, then to the grocery store, pick-up DS, take him for haircut, then pick-up DH. I'm so glad I'm now home....TO STAY!!

View at my house in Maine. This is the reason we are spending a third month in Florida!

Where did our front door and windows go?!

It's pretty snowy in downtown Toronto, but I don't mind it all that much. It's nice, but I want it to go away soon. I prefer this kind of fluffy stuff with mild temps over clear blue bitter cold winter days.
I was out today and was wondering about all the people out and shoveling in the blowing snow. Are they nuts? They looked like they were accomplishing as much as if it were water - it was all blowing back on them.
Oh well, I guess they got new shovels and wanted to try them out.

This morning, sunny, blue skies and kids have a bigger pile of snow to play with (Nick blows all the snow from the back part of our laneway to this area. Kids were outside playing in it before 9am this am.

For at least the past week we have had wonderful weather. Nice enough to open doors and windows and run around in tshirts (in fact we sat out at Dakota's softball game Monday sweating til after 7pm!) Anyways, the last couple days I've been getting wind advisory warnings for today/tomorrow and at times it did get pretty gusty and was cooler than it has been (it was that way last night too at Kota's game.)

Now I just got another weather statement saying that our dry, warm weather is suddenly ending and winter like conditions are expected this weekend, including rain, and possibly hail. Snow levels expected to drop to 3,000-4,000 ft, snow accumulation across the grapevine and a good possibility it could drop to 2,500 ft and cover the valley floor here! ACK! That is the second or third time we've had a warning about snow this winter though so I'm not sure I really believe this eyt, lol.

I'm in Portland. In the space of three hours I've seen sunshine, rain, drizzle, pouring buckets rain, sunshine, pouring rain, and hail!! Enough hail to cover the street!

Ack Costa, you've had it all today!

Yesterday was so cold and windy that Dakota's coach cancelled practice. Today was still cold but at least the wind died down. Tonight is really, really cold. Even Darren was complaining.

I am really hoping that we don't get hit with the winter storm they're predicting for tomorrow. :-( Just won't seem like spring break!
