Even the snow plows are getting stuck. and a blizzard warning.

Where I am school was out yesterday (which save me my 45 minute trek to work with my kids) and today (I dont work Friday though).

In Massachusetts though, we would have had schoool yesterday (not that bad) and probably even today.

Another perk of Missouri.

Sittin' in my easy chair, sipping my 3rd cup a joe, already snowblowed (snowblew?) the driveway once, working from home, checking my voicemail when I feel like it, and taking in the beauty that is Wisconsin winter. Nothing cooler than watching two corgis play in the snow.

Lizzie, wanna go sledding? We have a place in the Falls called Killer Hill that empties out into the Menomonee River if'n your sled goes too fast and too far.

Boy, is it gorgeous outside!

Yep
On my 3.5 hour treck home from work this morning - i saw a snow plow getting towed out of the ditch. The tow truck it takes to get a snow plow out is HUGE!!!!!

Took me 3.5 hours to get home this morning - i get ONE house away from home, and get stuck. The car is still there, Ramon cannot dig me out - and it's getting buryed. LMAO ONE house away.

I guess that's a good place to get stuck.. i just got out and came home ........

this whole thing pisses me off. THEY KNEW ..... 3 days ago they KNEW this was coming - and the plows just sit on the side of the interstate and they arent PLOWING. Meanwhile, people are going into ditches like crazy. WHY do they DO THAT???????

WHY do they do that? I know there's GOTTA be a reason. Ramon says that there's no point if it's still snowing - but YES THERE IS!!!!!!!

The town I live in - there's plows ALL over the town - sitting there. On the interstate on the way home - plows on the side - not plowing. WHY?????????

UGH
i'm goin to bed - so there :P

Love you guys!
woobs

I believe the truest form is "dunblownthesnowalready-aina?"

I love it when my whole family is safe and warm at home and I have plenty of food and nothing pressing to do.

Life is good.

Everybody is closed today. Even the community college. Nope, not us. Drove in behind somebody driving a 4 wheel drive pick-up at 20 fricken miles an hour. Gotta drive 20 miles to work, and on Fridays I come in at 7:30. I drive a Subaru and it handles better than my Jeep. The older I get, the more I hate this S***. It's snowing at the rate of about 2" an hour right now. Wife's going to fly to Flordia out of Flint airport at 5:45 today. (if they are open). Did I say I really hate this S***? Dick

Okay, this is just not fair. We're just getting part of the storm here in Delaware that you had and there is no snow. You kept it all and that was very selfish....now send some here, please? :)

I'd be happy to. Send me your FedEx account number.

Post by Karla on Dec 1^st, 2006, 2:02pm

We are at the very edge of the storm. We are suppose to get 1 to 3 inches of snow. It is pretty calm here and everything is open and running as usual.

Except when you send it FedEx, you keep bread on my family's table.

Besides, do you want it to still be frozen when it gets there? ;;D

Okay, here's how we can work this deal out.....

I'll send bread to your family (please specify what type...wheat, white, rye, etc)

You send the snow UPS....it's still warm enough here that the handsome drivers are wearing shorts..woo hoo!

You will be fed. I will be happy and won't care that the snow melted. [smiley=laugh.gif]

Deal?

I think it's heading your way. Carefull what you wish for. Finally tapered off here. But now the wind is blowing like fury and it's getting colder. (You may not know this, but I really hate this ****!) Dick

Post by Teresa on Dec 1^st, 2006, 6:24pm

So we didn't get too much snow here in Madison...we must have just gotten the northern edge of the storm :'(

But...in the couple of inches that there are...I got to go out and march for an hour and a half... ::)

No playing the trumpet though...it was a little too cold and the valves didn't move...

I just keep thinking of being in Orlando in 3 1/2 weeks for the bowl game ::)

All the snow has stayed to the south....and ya'll can keep it.

Temps still near 70 degrees here but the winds have kicked up big time. Supposed to have wind gusts of about 60 mph thru the night :o.

12 1/2 inches on my lawn! Did I mention that I forgot to put down my patio umbrella? It's huge, with a pole bent in half, sitting exactly where I see it every time I walk through the dining room. Oh, and the neighbor (responsible for snow removal) still hasn't shoveled my half of the driveway yet - fortunately I found a rather stale pack of cigarettes hidden upstairs.

brew - I used to sled at Suicide Hill on Menomonee River Parkway. I'll swear I remember ambulances just sitting there waiting for someone to get hurt.

Ah.....about time Cuddlepumpkin. 8)

We are next here in western, New York. Six days of snow and low temps in the 20s is supposed to insure some interesting weather. We alread had 50 mph winds.

Anyway, I'm sorry but I can't wait. I love snow. :o
