I can't take it anymore.

Another 40cm today. And I am stuck at work.

The snowdrifts on either side of my driveway are taller than me and under all the snow is a thick layer of ice. I almost got killed as my car slid backwards down my driveway onto oncoming traffic last night. And we've got hours and hours of freezing rain mixed in with all that snow again today.

I'm pretty sure I will not make it through this winter.

dear god, I would have crapped in my pants!!



glad you are ok!

It was scary. The feeling of not being able to stop is awful.

I am terrified about shoveling my driveway when I get home. It's so heavy, the snowdrifts are so high so I have to toss it up really high and to make it all even more difficult, my driveway is on a steep incline so it's almost impossible to stand on it without sliding on the ice. I have already wiped out the other day.

My pants are still wet to my shins from digging out my stuck car this morning.

I wish I was there. My hotness would melt the snow and your heart.

So thats what I have to look foward to? I will be leaving these hot ass 98 degree days behind.

Yes, yes that's right. But in all honestly, I haven't seen a winter this bad here...ever.

All my friends in the midwest are having a terrible time this year. Just a small reminder of what awaits me if I ever move back to chicago.

It's snowing again here today. Not as bad as all that, but we're having a seriously yucky winter too.

I feel your pain.

you are soo mean! but still mean..

I'm laughing my arse off cause my boss is up in Ohio, and she was saying the same damned thing


This must be an unusual winter all around up there.

I know it's been strange for us too. The other week it got down to 50 the other night. And the week before, we almost had a freeze one night. Strange.

Oh please. Ain’t nobody gotta tell me that winter is winter (like that sass?).

I've dealt with winter my whole life. Lived on the east coast for 10 years where we were hammered often. And I lived in Winnipeg for a couple of years - the snow starts in October and doesn’t leave until April. And the dry frigid, cold in that area (-45 anyone?) - brutal. Believe me, I know what a really tough winter is like.

But for this area, even though we normally have what most people would consider to be "hell" it's been an especially hard winter and is now officially the snowy-est winter on record for this area.

And mix in freezing rain with snow and it's almost impossible to get anywhere. Even with winter tires and taking your time.

I just heard that the side streets have 3 foot high areas from the snow plows.

Harlingen, TX Clear 80°

That's crazy. Meanwhile New York City has had hardly any snow this year. January 08 was the first snow-less January in 75 years. Now I know where all our snow went.

I hear through the grapevine that they might be letting us go early.

I'll take some pics of this fun mess and will post them later!

It's been like forever since I made a snowman

All we get here is rain ...

In Dallas it snowed almost 3 inches Monday night (for the first time in over a year). Tuesday it was 60 degrees and sunny. Today it's 66 degrees and sunny. And tomorrow night it's supposed to snow again. WTF is the deal??? But I'll take this wackiness to what others are dealing with.
