My car is the second one under the carport. Now how did it snow under there?
Out the front door. Lots of snow and I love it. It reminds me of a Montana winter, where I enjoyed snowy days growing up.

It is in the fifties today, less wind and some sun. My Critter kitty is in heaven, upstairs, enjoying her sunbath.

I'm going to send all the snow coming to Pennsylvania out to Kearie's back yard. Boo to Seamonkey. (We haven't seen sun for awhile.)

My snow isn't here yet. Send me your address Beckie. Would you settle for freezing rain?

I'd be a mess in that kind of snow Kearie! It's a balmy 42 here, snows melting faster than it came down, lol. Local paper had an article this morning about all the school and government closures yesterday, along with quotes from the superintendant of our school district and several of the principals apologizing for not shutting school down and a whole bunch of, "we didn't realize it'd get that bad that fast."

A lot of schools in the Boston area are either cancelling classed for tomorrow or having early dismissals tomorrow (and just to let you know the snow is not supposed to start until around noon time here tomorrow)

Vacanick, so was mine. The birds were making a bunch of noise so I went out to check and couldn't believe it. That is a first for me, so I took out a knife and chopped through, when I left for work the birds were busy drinking. I was thinking that was awfully cold water.

Wow Dfennessey, that's awesome if they do it in advance. They never do that here. In fact, our superintendent said that the only way we'll be closed tomorrow is if the Chicago Public Schools are closed(and they usually NEVER close.!) I'm close to school, but walk to work every day. However, a majority of the other teachers come in from pretty far. They're predicting anywhere from 7-13 inches for us the last I heard. Sounds like a combo of thunder snow, sleet and freezing rain. It's supposed to be awful when it hits. I wouldn't mind having a "snow day" at all! Our winter break begins on Saturday anyway.
Fingers crossed!

We got the phone call about half an hour ago that school is going to be closed tomorrow too...icy road conditions and all. I'd already planned on keeping the kids home. Does pose a bit of a problem, Caleb left his guitar at school Wednesday cuz his teacher was going to restring it for him, now not sure how we're supposed to get it.

Would you settle for freezing rain? just a lil bit...and only if i can stay inside away from it. i will welcome on the snow though... however, i'm sure the citrus growers here wouldn't appreciate it. they're already up the entire night making sure the trees don't freeze...

You would like it here right now then Beckie03. It has finally started snowing, and it's coming down hard and heavy. Time for me to go to bed, but I'm sure hoping I get that call tomorrow morning saying school is closed!

As of now, Accuweather says we're supposed to get 8 inches of snow. They closed the college already (in fact, I got the text about is closing before I went to bed last night), but it hasn't even started snowing. I hope it holds off long enough for me to hit Michaels for some dark green cardstock!

We have schools closed here in SW Ontario - kids are disappointed that they won't be having their Christmas parties today. I am also not happy that I have them home till January.

Everything's closed here today due to a storm coming through. We're supposed to get a foot of snow along with some blowing winds. Fun! I have my junk food all ready and will just munch my way to the end of the storm. Yay!

Most of the schools here are closed too- I have a 2 hr delay, which makes NO sense since it is supposed to continue snowing until noon. Anyway- before this storm we were at about 24" for the season (snow). Our entire winter average is 47" and it's not even winter yet....so it looks like the Farmers Almanac is right again- we will have another year like last year (100"+). Unfortunately the schools only have 2 snow days built into their calendar and one was used last week. Looks like there will be a lot of make up days this year.

We're supposed to get 10" of snow today in SE Michigan. It started last night and is coming down hard. I'm scheduled to work this afternoon/tonite...not sure how long it's going to take me to get there on these roads!

We have had heavy rain all night and it has not let up. The parking wharfs downtown are closed. I am glad it is not cold enough for this to be freezing rain or snow.

45 degrees (F) here when I got up this a.m. And it's still 45 although the sun is just now peeking over the horizon. It's not going to be warm either... a high of 59 is forecast. They are also forecasting rain for Xmas day. Lovely.

Ooops...my mistake above and too late to edit. 64F was the lowest temp during the night. Just turned on TV and RN, it's 70F at ll am. (sorry, it was too late to edit) Somebody throw a snowball for me, please!
