I hate snow. I hate ice. I hate cold weather. I told hubby last night that when he retires we are moving to the south. I don't care where as long as its warm at least 80% of the time.

I just ran Caleb over to the school to pick up his guitar and there are still icy spots on the streets. It would have been horrible at 8am! On the plus side, neighbors got over the freeway last night and their son is now home for Christmas from the army. He was standing outside when we pulled up so I just stopped in the middle of the street for quick hugs, lol.

Currently 53 degrees. It's nice inside my house (southern exposure heats up the place nicely in the wintertime) but its cold as a witch's you-know outside!

Started snowing here this morning and it's not supposed to end until later tonight. We're expecting 10-12". Most of the local schools here are open, but most are canceling after-school activities. Lots of small events canceled. I'm so happy I got DH's big Christmas present yesterday - the last snow blower of what he wanted! He thought it was "awesome" when he tested it from what was left from the day before. We'll see how much he likes it after it keeps snowing and blowing and drifting for months! Although he did mention making sure everyone learned how to use it. The the worst part - it blows right in your face in all these swirls. Huk gets it first and then it heads our way so that's why the schools closed there and not ours. A couple canceled afternoon kindergarten. It's not going to be a fun ride home from work or school. War - I had to snap these pics for you since we got such a kick out of yours. Now just remember, this is only a portion of what we're to get. Oh, and anyone who wants some of this snow is welcomed to it!! Out the front door

My son shoveled this 20 min. prior

LOL thanks Watching! I just posted a pic of Kota in my folder with her little snowman. We still have some snow on the ground but mostly what we have is a muddy, slushy mess everywhere.

Thanks, Nick. Actually quite a bit of the detail was lost when I reduced the size. You can see even the flakes and swirls on the bigger ones. I'd give anything for some sunshine and WARMTH! It isn't snowing as hard anymore, but the wind is wicked. They said it was coming down about 2 in./hr and we have the weather warning until 10pm. They said we had about 10 in. at 5pm EST in my town. It took DH 2 hrs to get home which usually takes him about 20 min. DD just called on her way home from work and said it's terrible. She's going 30 mi/hr on the x-way and said they haven't plowed in a while since there's all these ruts that keep pulling her car from side-to-side. Said she'd call when she got home. I told her to get off the phone! She said, "I know! That's why I have to go!" LOL We'll see how long before I get the next call. I'll be relieved when she's home.

it got up to 54 today... but it's supposed to drop, and if there is moisture in the air...it's fog. and anyone who's traveled 5 or 99 through the valley knows about the fog here...

I'm packing a bag for Csnog's!! Actually, I couldn't get there if I wanted since so many flights have been canceled, esp. out of Chicago and JFK which clogs things up more here. DD made it home safe. Whew.

Beckie, my sister lives in Visalia and she's always telling me about how bad the fog is there. I don't think there's anything to block it, it's just farmland around her.

Its 15 degrees here in Buffalo and my car that is parked on the street is surrounded by snow. It will have to be shoveled out to move it. I don't know exactly how much snow we got but we got a lot. This is really going to put a damper on last minute Christmas shopping.

We had a snow day yesterday for school (11 inches of snow in about 9 hours), today was gorgeous but frigid, and we're supposed to get another 6-10 inches tonight & tomorrow w/40 MPH winds! I don't mind the snow, but I'm really wondering what they'll do about church. I'm the piano player for the choir and the program that's supposed to be tomorrow night, but we live on a dirt road that completely drifts shut! Hopefully common sense prevails and not the "oh the kids worked so hard the show MUSt go on" mentality.

Awesome picture, SG. We're in the same situation as Teach only it's to arrive here a bit later and will get worse through the day and much worse Sunday through Monday because of high winds, low temps and white out conditions. I've been doing a lot of Christmas shopping online! The timing of these storms coming through couldn't be worse for last-minute Christmas shopping. Uggh.

Here in Central Texas - the high today was 79 deg. How am I suppose to get in the Christmas Spirit when sweating! But, cold front came in, high tomorrow, forcased to be in 40's and 20's tomorrow night. Now, for me, that's too cold to go out shopping! I'm so hard to please. Hope all of you in the snow, slush, rain or freezing rain and what is actually really cold, have a safe and warm place to snuggle.

I believe they said we got 17" today and we are due for nearly a foot and a half over night, with winds up to 40 mph through the night and tomorrow. There are already huge snowdrifts and it will only get worse. It's a nightmare of a storm because we're running out of places to put the snow. Hopefully I can post pictures tomorrow. I happen to sit smack in the middle of the paths of lake effect snows from 2 of the great lakes, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, oh boy!
