Neko | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 11:49 am     we are supposed to be getting 25 cm |
Car54 | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 12:01 pm     I work for the most driven people in America...our stores are open every single holiday...but they closed today at noon and won't re-open til noon tomorrow. They just sent us home...it wasn't too bad driving..my driveway was by far the worst of it...our plow guy has not arrived yet. I am grateful trash pickup still happened..I was envisioning having to haul frozen garbage back into the garage! |
Squaredsc | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 12:08 pm     car, our trash removal has been cancelled for the week. our court is still full of 2ft snow, don't know if the plow will come by today or not. dh's car is still buried. saturday i called my aunts and mother and mother's friend to check on them and see if they needed anything from the stores before the "real" snow fell. well one aunt was going to her son's house to wait out the snow(she lives up the street from me and uses a walker and i called to invite her here but she is with my cousin), my other aunt ran out of cigarettes saturday nite. i told her she should have called me saturday afternoon to let me know and i would have gone to the store. her and my uncle live about 5 to 10 mins away, uncle was getting worried having to stay in the house with my aunt and no cigarettes, lol. dh decided yesterday to go to walmart for vacuum cleaner belts and other odds and ends. good thing i got the new truck. we told my aunt we would come and get her so she could get her cigs and stuff. we got stuck trying to get out of our court, we had the shovel with us and dh shoveled. the truck really handles well in the snow. we made it to aunt's, streets were bad, lots of people stuck, even a police car was stuck. but we made it to walmart and back, only took about 3 hrs. it was fun though. |
Reiki | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 12:09 pm     It has been snowing steadily in upstate NY since early this morning and the weather reporters keep telling us that the main storm will be here from 4 pm tonight to 4 am tommorrow morning. And here I thought this snow all day was the storm. The snow fall predictions have gone up with each new report. From 1-3" earlier today to 12-24" at last report. This on top of what is left of the snow from the 2 other storms we had during the holidays. Gov. Pataki has called a state of emergency for most of the counties surrounding the Capital District and south to NYC. They are expecting blizzard conditions from NYC to Boston. Yikes! All of you in the mid-west who are missing the waist high snow-banks, if I could send you some of ours I would. (Assuming I could make it out to the post office.) |
Hermione69 | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 12:27 pm     Gosh, Square, you sure did get a sh*tload of snow. You'll have to let me know how long school is out in your area. Still no announcement for my area, but I know we won't have it because nothing has melted. My parking lot is still ice and so I know a lot of back roads will be which will make it unsafe for the buses. Maybe I will actually get something contructive done with one more snow day instead of playing on the computer ALL DAY LONG! |
Car54 | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 12:35 pm     Square! maybe you need to get your aunt "the book" from the quit smoking thread! Our trash removal is a private company and they are really prima dona's so I am really surprised they showed up...let alone early in the day..they usually get to us about 4 pm. My house is cold cold cold...I am starting a fire in the fireplace- the very first episode of Changing Rooms that I ever saw is on right now...the one where Laurence does the "caravan"...and he does a beautiful job. |
Sadiesmom | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 02:08 pm     HI, just finished using my plastic toy snow blower to clear about 40 feet of driveway. The hard part is ahead where the two houses are close together. Only 130 feet to go. LOL |
Hermione69 | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 02:39 pm     Good luck Sadiesmom! |
Squaredsc | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 02:57 pm     trying again, oh i made a tape for grooch of laurence, unfortunately they repeated several episodes during the day.

Squaredsc | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 02:58 pm     finally it worked, but we are a tad bit wide, sorry bout that guys. anyhoo this is from saturday, early saturday, 16 in. |
Halfunit | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 03:24 pm     Ok, I just took these 5 minutes ago. While we only had 14 inches, I thought I'd post some images. My solar lights may be buried, but they are still working!
The view out of my front door.
The snow removed from my driveway today.
I tried to open my back door, but the snow was higher than the door.
A view from the back door.
Another view from the back door.
And finally, my poor poor grill.
So, for all of those without snow, I'm sure Square and Car will agree with me: YOU CAN HAVE SOME OF OURS !!!!!!!! |
Car54 | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 05:29 pm     Hey, mine is free!!! Take all you want! I just measured my driveway and it is 14 inches this afternoon (the yard got that on top of about 3 feet from last week!) Square & Grooch...the whole CR marathon is on again Saturday...they announced it at the end of the last episode. |
Jeep | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 06:00 am     Well, I'm out of the house and at work! Our city got 24 inches of snow and the surrounding areas up to 37 inches! Needless to say, my road is nothing but a cow path. Our city is completely shut down. There is only about 2 or 3 businesses open here. Our mayor has asked the governor for help from the National Guard to remove the snow. The city did a better job with the blizzard of 1996. I hope I can get lots of paperwork done today because all the people are busy shoveling snow! I'm ready for spring NOW! |
Lobster | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 06:17 am     I am not out of the house yet, and I'm not going to work. LOL The official tally at Logan Airport is 27.5 inches. I don't think I have ever in my almost 38 years, seen it snow as heavily as it did at times last night. I kept looking out the window and saying, "Wow!" I couldn't see the houses across the street! According to the local news last night, we got 4 inches between 6 and 7pm. I'm going to bundle up now and attempt to dig myself out. I'm so glad that I thought to bring the shovel in the house last night, because I can't get out my back door. I'll have to shovel out the front and work my way to the back. I'm getting tired just thinking about it. LOL |
Hippyt | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 06:26 am     Hang on everyone! Spring will happen,look at the birdie!

Hippyt | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 06:31 am     psst

Car54 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 06:40 am     I got out! Our plow man came up in the night and my landlord went out and did the rest. The roads here are fine. I just throw on the 4 wheel drive and go! My yard has about 4.5 feet piled up. The biggest pain is the snow by the sides of the road...there is just nowhere left to put it...and if you are pulling out of an intersection, you just can't see! |
Webkitty | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 06:44 am     Thanks for the pics, Square and Half. <not missing living up north right now> Geesh you guys! Stay warm, and Lobster, don't wrench your back shoveling all that snow! My parents who live in New England had to delay their trip down here to Florida because of the storm. (they are driving) On the news last night, they showed many delayed flights going out of Tampa. Everyone was given vouchers to stay in hotels, so the airport was pretty empty. (at least for those terminals where flights were going to the NE) |
Jeep | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 06:52 am     Nice pic, Hippyt! I hope spring comes sooner rather than later! |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 07:46 am     Loving this, yes indeedy. I am at Grooches now. I came in from having coffee on the porch and sit here with barefeet seeing how all of you in the north are doing. We had planned to head home today but have decided to wait, obviously. I would wait until spring if it were totally up to me but my neighbors may not want to keep our 3 dogs that long.  |
Car54 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 07:54 am     Nope... hope you have someone to dig you up your driveway. More is coming today and then more again this weekend. Wipe that grin off your face, young lady! |
Froggiegirl621 | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:24 am     how do i post a pic??? tried the help function, but i'm still confused! |
Kaili | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:27 am     Click on format above (not help) and it tells you all the ways you can format posts (including links and pictures) |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:29 am      |
Kaili | Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:30 am     Or if you don't want to look do this... \ attachment { Text description } I just copy and paste that, then instead of Text Description write in what you want to call your picture and when you click to post you go into your compter like you are attaching with an email and select the picture. Just don't use all the spaces in between that I have. Good luck- it's easy as long as it isn't too big. |
