Crazydog | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 01:48 pm     Here in Chicago it is snowing pretty hard right now. This will be our first significant snowfall since early December. It's a balmy 30 degrees right now, which is not bad considering there were days when it was in the single digits last week. |
Car54 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:43 pm     I keep bottled water in my garage. The garage is always closed. My water is all frozen. brrrrrrrrrrrrrr |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:03 pm     Snowing. AGAIN! At least it is about 20 degrees, what a heat wave |
Urgrace | Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 03:32 pm     We are enjoying all the beautiful snow on TV Our weather finally cleared out the heavy overcast and the sun peeked through around 5 pm. It's so nice to be able to walk out of the house near the end of January without even a sweater. We chose to move here for the climate, and I'm sure glad we did! A Minnesotan told me yesterday that some of the ice houses on the lakes there were sinking into the lake, then the lake would freeze up again with the ice house partially covered. They'll be diving to the bottom come spring thaw to retrieve their fishing house and gear. |
Schoolmarm | Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:44 pm     WHOO HOOO! We were momentarily above freezing today. There is about a foot of snow still on the ground. Excellent skiing weather! |
Car54 | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 04:57 am     OMG, you guys should see the snow here! We were supposed to have "winter mix"...whatever that is...and last night I heard sleet coming down on the windows, but this morning there is the most gorgeous snow...it is still coming down..big fluffy flakes... it is that white floppy snow...all the trees are covered and it has covered up the dirty snow we still have from the last month! |
Webkitty | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 06:22 am     Car, I just talked with my mother who lives near you, she said it looks just like a snow globe, very pretty! |
Car54 | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 06:29 am     Yep, it is gorgeous! I am very cool with this because it is Sunday and I don't have to get to work or go anywhere!.. My cable is out tho, and I am missing some of my Sunday am decorating shows, but that is ok, gonna do laundry instead! |
Cyn | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 06:41 am     I woke up today and the sun is shining too. It's 39° here in NYC at 9:50 AM. |
Webkitty | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 06:51 am     Laundry is a good thing to do on a cold, snowy day  |
Car54 | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 07:54 am     Yep, and I have a piece of furniture down cellar to paint while the washer is running. Just want to hide that turpentine. |
Webkitty | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 08:02 am     LOL! |
Cyn | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 01:25 pm     OMGosh, it's been snowing in NYC for 3 1/2 hours now - I am getting ready to go trudge around in it. |
Car54 | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 02:19 pm     Dammit Cyn... it is coming our way. They lied again and said it was going to be nothing! Crap. |
Cyn | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 07:09 pm     Well, it's getting colder and icier by the hour; and when I finally made it outside to the street, it was just really slushy with ice underneath from the hours of snow. |
Heyltslori | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:55 am     It's 7 degrees and sunny! I can see the shape of my car...but only a wee bit of the car itself under it's blanket of snow. Any of you southerners want some company? |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 06:24 am     some areas of maryland were hit hard and fast last nite and early this morning. dh said he drove thru almost blizzard like conditions that lasted about 15 mins when he was coming home. but at our house it was a lite dusting. |
Kaili | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 07:21 am     Uch Uck Uck- we had -30 windchills last night (my mom up north had -40). I hate it and I'm soooo sick of it. This year is WAY colder than last year was. I haven't gone out yet, but the Weather Channel says it's -3 with -20 windchill right now (9:30 am). It's going to warm up though- a high of 12 today. Wha hoo. I don't mind the cold really...as long as the wind isn't blowing. |
Car54 | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:49 pm     I just left work and the wind chill is -15 here. I cannot believe how cold it is..my hands are completely numb! I hope the damn terrorists dont strike us tonight..it is too freakin cold to sleep in my plastic sheet room in the cellar. |
Wink | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:58 pm     ROFL Car and those plastic sheets will probably interfere with your TV reception too. |
Car54 | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 03:14 pm     No, I have cable down there. I was a Girl Scout. "Be Prepared!" |
Twiggyish | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 03:16 pm     and to add to that, Survivor is on! |
Car54 | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 03:30 pm     Yes but Twigs, Mark Burnett pulled Survivor out of Jordan after 9/11. I bet the terrorists are holding a grudge about that. The Bush administration are probably not into reality TV or they would have made the Survivor connection already. Anyway...if the worst happens I better get into my flannel nightie...it is gonna be damn cold down cellar. |
Twiggyish | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 03:36 pm     rofl! |
Sadiesmom | Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 05:05 pm     Ick Ick, they are predicting a blizzard here. I have to put on socks and boots and start shoveling now, keep up with it and it won't be so bad. It is like 5 degrees outside, so little bit at a time. They are saying up to 18 inches. Of course, my brother may get up to 28 inches, so I should be happy for little things. |
