Wiseolowl | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 09:58 am     Here in Central Ontario, it hasn't been a terribly bad year weatherwise. The winter storms and snow we've gotten so far have been as a result of cold "American" air coming up from the south!! LOL |
Halfunit | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 10:02 am     WOO - funny... here it's the "Canadian arctic air...aka the Canada Express" |
Squaredsc | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 10:04 am     lol w-owl. |
Halfunit | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 10:20 am     Square, I'm watching the weather channel, and according to them, you are supposed to get at least 3 inches and then there is a possibility of freezing rain after the sun goes down so you make sure you are home before then and be careful!! |
Wink | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 11:33 am     It's snowing in Pittsburgh. Perfect day for football. Of course everyday is a perfect day for football |
Webkitty | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 12:45 pm     Having snow envy......... |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Crud! I leave the snows in Canada, and what do I wake up to? MORE SNOW! Made it though the hills to play for church. A couple of my choir members actually made it to Pittsburgh for the game today! It IS absolutely gorgeous, and thankfully we have great road crews clearing off the snow/slush. |
Grooch | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 02:12 pm     Ok. I blame all the snow on Schoolmarm. (Everything else is still Maris's fault.) The snow is following Marm around wherever she travels. ;) |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 02:17 pm     I should change my screen name to snowbunny, perhaps! |
Conejo | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 07:36 am     It snowed here (Columbus, OH)yesterday, last night and is snowing now. It is a beautiful wet snow that has stuck to all of the trees, bushes, etc. Unfortunatly, half the people around here don't know how to drive in the snow and think they can drive just as fast as they can when the roads are dry! |
Squaredsc | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 07:39 am     well we got our snow, it was about 3 to 4 inches, they closed schools, but i still had to work. pffttt. |
Calamity | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 11:35 am     We must have gotten at least five inches since last night. But it's not icy or too cold. I love this type of weather. The snows muffles everything and it's so quiet and peaceful. So pretty. All the birds & critters are gathering at the feeders & heated bath I have here at work. |
Sia | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:05 pm     My son had way too long a Christmas/New Year's vacation from school as it is, but this morning the local schools were cancelled due to the three-to-five inches of snow that fell beginning early this morning! I don't know what tomorrow's forecast is yet. I dread learning about more snow! My kids are fighting with one another just terribly; I need my son to go back to Kindergarten! |
Sadiesmom | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 07:28 pm     It is snowing again in NJ. i know that we are not getting a lot of inches or feet, it is just that ist snowed and melted , snowed and melted. It snowed last night, snowed and melted during the day and it is snowing again now. Thos weekend we had an ice storm. I guess it is driving malaise. Tired of driving with people who think their sprty car can go in the snow. During the bigger snow storm there were 10 SUVs in accidents on the turnpike, they confused being able to go with being able to stop. |
Car54 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 03:25 am     OK... this is not funny. It is snowing AGAIN. The thrill is gone. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 07:36 am     we are having an indian summer day, supposed to be near 70. im stuck in an office building when i should be skipping thru the fields. of course since the snow is melting it would be muddy fields. |
Car54 | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 04:56 am     Oh well this is just lovely. A change from the daily snow we have had for a week. Last night we had sleet all night and now the temperature is dropping so we have black ice. To top it off, I was supposed to be off yesterday but the idiots I work with had a crisis and I had to go in, and worked til midnight...I was supposed to be off today and now I have a page...have to go out on a support call then in to the office. Mercury is in Retrograde big time. This is really starting to p*ss me off. |
Ddr1135 | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 05:00 am     Uh, I'm from the south, what is black ice? |
Spygirl | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 06:40 am     Southerners should really know what black ice is! It is pretty much all we get down here Black ice is ice formed on the roads that cannot be seen easily to drivers, therefore it is extremely dangerous. People don't realize the roads, bridges, or overpasses are frozen over until they begin to skid. It forms from moisture in the air or sleet and rain freezing up in the morning hours before dawn and before the road crews have had time to treat the roads. It freezes up and then the road looks absolutely normal, so people don't realize it is a solid sheet of ice. |
Ddr1135 | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 06:52 am     Thanks Spygirl! This southern gal NEVER gets in her car if it dips below freezing, LOL. But I get it now, dirty ice! |
Llkoolaid | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 06:57 am     We are supposed to get another snowstorm starting sometime today. The kids are going to hate it, another storm on the weekend. They love the snowdays. Gotta admit, I don't mind them either, I hate the kids traveling when the weather isn't good and it is so nice to turn the radio on and hear school is cancelled and just snuggle down under the covers for a little while longer. Makes me glad I am a stay at home mom on those mornings until about 10 am and then it sinks in that I don't have the house to myself for the day. Oh well you can't have everything. May is coming, I keep looking at the calendar and wishing the days away. I don't know how it is for the rest of you but January, February and March are crappy here, April drives me crazy because it can snow one day and be warm and sunny the next. May is when you know it is all over, I love the springtime. |
Crossfire | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 06:59 am     Yeah, to steal a phrase from Danielle, Black ice is the devil. I can't think of anything more evil on the roads. I will never forget the morning I had many years ago as a college student driving to school when I came up on a stopped schoolbus with the 'don't pass' lights flashing and I had zero, zip, nada, control of my car. Might as well not have had any pedals or a steering wheel, because neither had any effect whatsoever. It's probably the scariest thing I've ever done passing by that bus hopeless waiting for a little tyke (some of which I could see all around me) to pop out in front of me. I was so terrified that day, I managed to have the bus stop moved. What happened, is that a large building cast a long shadow across the road right at the point that the bus stopped, so that bit of road remained slippery past the point where most of the rest of the road was safe for travel. They were thankful for me pointing that out, but not nearly as much as I was that no one but a decent pair of gitch got hurt that day. |
Car54 | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 08:37 am     Well it was icy driving to my support call (I have had a spin-out, total your car wreck on ice like this- actually totalled my parent's car on my 16th birthday-ON THE WAY to take my driver's license test! Scarred me for life!) That is why I now try to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle all the time...I am a big baby about this! Home again...trying to have a few hrs off... sun has come out and I tried to dig my landlord's cars out a bit...they are away for the week and their cars are completely mounded over with snow...thought maybe if I could clear them off they would melt a little if the sun comes out. The snow has melted just enough to be solid and hard and icy now! They are in the Carribean. I am not happy about being left at home right now. |
Twinkie | Friday, January 10, 2003 - 09:15 am     We had glorious sun all day yesterday and all the snow melted. While I was sleeping we had a faint dusting of snow. Very pretty. |
Wink | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Well it's not snowing yet in Nashville but it's still a supremo day for football. Go Steelers. |
