Yeah, barely dusted here in NY. I'm a little sad.

That is a delightful little scenario.

My city doesn't handle bad weather very well, so it's nothing like that here, but but it would be nice if it was.

Come down and visit me in Maryland! You can stay with me and help me shovel

The snow is well above my knee, and still falling

Seriously? I mean, I understand not being prepared by means of infrastucture (snow plows and such), but when it snows here everyone really is just a little bit nicer, I think. 'Cause we ALL have to deal.

If you see someone's car stuck in the street you go help push them out (cause last time you were stuck someone helped you). You see folks snowblowing other people's driveways or walks cause they know that person only has a shovel (that happened at my brother's house on Xmas morning - we were all out shoveling the foot of snow we got and a neighbor came by with his kids and they did the whole driveway, blower, shovel and all).

No one wants to walk through the drifts to get a drink with you?

MendesCity said:

Not me. I hate shoveling that mess.

I just came back in from shoveling out to the street. It's not like in the north where they actually plowed the WHOLE street. They do a small lane down the center and you gotta plow halfway out to the street just to reach it. That's some bullshit.
We have to get a snow thrower. We're not getting any younger and I refuse to keel over from shoveling the driveway. Not glamorous.
We have to have a good 30 here already and still coming down strong.

I went out at noon to get started with the shoveling, and I was obviously the only one who had bothered to even open the front door on my block.

Nearly everyone I know is either still in bed, or has gone back to bed!

My family in Md was telling me about 24 - 30 inches down there...Montgomery County sucks with bad weather..they're in the house for the next three days..lol

SavonOsco said:

I'm about 30 minutes north of Montgomery County. It's pretty ridiculous over here. I was gonna post pictures in this thread but I feel a little lazy. But 24-30 inches is probably not an exaggeration at all.

FauxReal said:

Yeah my cuz sent me some pix and it looked bad..hell here in Delaware we got 20 so I believe it,

NYC is supposed to get anywhere from 12"-18" tonight and into Wednesday.

THIS. SHIT. IS. NOT. FUNNY. ANYMORE.

sextonseven said:

Well we are going to get some tomorrow...

thekidsgirl said:

It would be fun helping you shovel....

And supposedly, here we go again. Another 10-20 inches expected here in the Baltimore area by end of the day tomorrow. Hey, at least work will be closing for me, so I can't hate on it. I actually love the snow, so bring it on, I say!

And New Jersey. (Snow Day! )

I love it. It's pretty much skipping Canada and just hitting the US....just like it has been all winter.

JustErin said:

the news this morning was talking about how it was very unwinter like for the winter olympics there....

Snoverkill. The D.C. area has the second highest snowfall among U.S. cities this year.

Despite all the snow they were supposed to get in Chicago today, I somehow managed to get back to Madison a mere hour after my scheduled arrival. Props to American Airlines and the folks at ORD.

thejason said:

Ya, they have to truck in snow.

It's frightening that weather should paralyze our nation's capital the way it does. Pentagon was pretty much shut down (a family member works there) and you can't get fuckin food at the supermarket. Like...empty fuckin shelves.

If we hadn't moved down here I wouldn't believe it.

johnart said:

Is it because it generally doesn't snow that much down there?

johnart said:

Yep. Honestly, if the Federal Gov't opens this week, it will be Friday. There is a very good chance it could be closed all week.

Shawnt27 said:

Yup. Three days off and counting.

^The news was talking bout how much $$$ it cost to shut down the government and they even talked bout a Senator that was upset cause it seemed THIS was the day he was oing to introduce a bill or some sort???? How convinent.

Times like this I'm glad i'm in Sydney - I'll think of you all tomorrow when I'm sun baking at Manly Beach.
