I am with you.

Here in the Ottawa area we are expecting 50 cm (50 centimeters = 19.685039 inches). The kids have had two snow days off school this week.

We are headed for an all time snow record 444.1 centimeters = 14.57021 feet. We are at over 11 feet already.....:confused3 :confused3

I have seen enough snow for this season. I can't wait to get to Florida in April for some nice warm weather. And I will not complain about the heat once.

I feel for you Oscar. They forcasted 6 - 9 inches here in Indy for Friday and Saturday, but the storm has tracked further east. They've forcasted us down to 1 - 2 inches. I still sympathize with you though.

Here in St. Louis, on Sunday we had a high of 78 degrees, one shy of the record.
Less than 48 hours later, we had a foot of snow.
Those folks in Florida don't know what they're missing, stuck with the same ole' 80 degrees and sunny weather. How boring!:laughing:

Well, it's been a tough winter, but for once, Chicago is only expected to get 1 or 2 inches of lake effect snow before the winds shift and pummel western Michigan again. Poor Michigan!!

Honestly, I don't know how much more I can take?? :confused3

Calling for 12-16 inches here in Cleveland. :sad2:

Seriously, I'm over this winter. It needs to go away now.:wizard:

And to think when I was in Orlando in early Feburary I was complaining about how hot it was, I must have gone temporarily insane even thinking about complaining, (wasn't expecting upper 80's the first week of Feb.) man what I wouldn't give for that right now. :headache:

Hey, we're getting 4 inches of rain! And it's from Florida...so I guess you can say we're getting your weather, Pete...without the warmth, of course.

Well no snow to speak of here in Richmond this winter just a wacky roller coaster ride of weather highs and lows. No wonder everyone is sick, it's 75 one day and 45 the next and it's been like this all winter!!

Man I cannot wait to move to Florida and plant some orange trees in my back yard. If all goes as planned I'll be decorating as palm tree next Christmas:lmao:

I'm right there with you Rylee. I am in Niagara Falls. We should be getting another 18 inches on top of what we already have!!:mad:

We are supposed to be 10-12 inches in Louisville. Not sure how much we already have. Pretty much everything is closed - including the shopping malls. The only good side to all this - it's supposed to be 60 by Wednesday of this week..

Stay safe everyone.

We're only supposed to get 4-7 inches here, geez it seems like nothing compared to some areas!

If you would all just move to central FL......

Think about the possibilities of that.:lmao:

Terrible weather tonight....chilly with bursts of torrential rain and a tornado watch until 2:00am.

Snow might be better.

Nah.....never snow.:thumbsup2

Be careful for what you wish for.

We're under severe flood watch in NJ. We are expecting rain, rain and more rain today with very high winds. High winds and an already saturated ground means tress will be uprooted in addition to flooding.

Hunkered down here under about 10 inches... Started a pot roast. It's a pot roast kind of day. Had to take DGf to airport about 4:30 this morning. Tire tracks I made are already covered up again... I love snow, but

DID I MENTION MY DSis & HER FAMILY ARE DRIVING TO WDW??!?

Lessens my enjoyment of the winter wonderland...just a tad. :sad2:

I didn't realize how many fellow Ohioans were on this board! I'm in Dayton. We're at about 10" now, supposed to get up to a foot! My poor dog (collie) is having trouble going to the potty, might need to have DH dig him out an outhouse!

The older I get, the more appealing FL gets.... :thumbsup2

Not only is it depresing that half the neighbors left for somewhere south, but now we have 20cm on the ground in Niagara and another 30cm on its way!! We are longing to get away even more. Right now we are getting freezing rain in a prelude to wave #2 of this storm that originated in the south, I hear you have terrible rain down there but I would take that and warmer temps right now. Going skiing Monday in western NY so we should have some good conditions. Just got in from shovelling and could not think of a better way to cheer up thank to start chatting again on the DIS boards. Stay safe wherever you are and for anyone in the snow belt - which right now I think extends from Dallas to Muskoka - carefull with all that shovelling and think of those hot steamy days strolling up Main St in the sunshine.

Cleveland here!

They have declared a state of emergency and parking and driving bans.
Emergency vehicles on the roads only. I'd say we've had about 16 inches
so far and they are calling for more in the next couple hours.

I've been at work since 3pm Friday and probably won't get out of here
until sometime Sunday, I'm hoping.

LOL when I scrolled over this I was seeing another thread... put together I read...

Forecast is 10 inches of snow this weekend. 6 meals a day


so I thought you were saying you were going to be eating like crazy for the weekend because you would be snowed in :lmao: boy, my brain is REALLY scaring me!

WaltD4Me
03-08-2008, 09:15 PM
Yes, at least I have the internet, it's been a nice break to be able to come check the DIS every once in awhile. Actually, I'm off to try and get some sleep now in our conference room. Luckily I keep an Aero bed here!

With any luck this snow will be moved out by morning, they say we might even see a couple peeks of sunshine on Sunday. It's still snowing pretty hard now though. My mom said they measured almost two feet in their backyard.

What I wouldn't give to be in Disney right now! :wizard:

Everyone stay warm and safe!!!!

Hopefully next time I check in, it'll be from home!!!

Toronto area here. We are expecting to get 30cm (about a foot). Prior to the snow this weekend our total is 177cm (5.81 feet). At least the mayor did not call in the army to help with the show removal. We need to get 207cm (6.8 feet) to break the record yearly snowfall from 1939

I am sick of snow. We have around (this is no joke) 4ft in our yard. This was suppose to be a mild winter and it was until January. When I drove down to the park on my lunch break the other day (it was at least sunny) the snow that the city piles up down there was at least 30ft high and the kids wanting to sled down it. Snow is pretty at first but now its dirty and I can't keep my car clean, I gave up. The ice fisherman are having a blast though. I hope it lets up soon for Ohio and anywhere else.

Good Morning. I made it to work last night, but who knows if I get to go home this morning. (off-roading in my Grand AM was interesting!)
Now that the storm has stopped here, we are getting lake effect streamers! (I think that name is just to make it sound like getting snowed in is a party)
I just checked and we were officially 37 cm (just over a foot) as of 10pm last night. I suspect we have passed that as it was still snowing then! DH emailed me at around 1:45 this morning when he finsihed up the shovelling. My 7 foot snowbanks at the end of my driveway are now around 9 feet.

It was funny when my little weather thing on my home page showed our weather as light snow with a severe weather alert for Orlando, but then showed Orlando with a little wind and rain - thanks Kevin for clearing that up.

I will take this opportunity to remind all who are digging out - please dig out your furnace vents!

Take care to all who were in the path.

I can't imagine having so much snow - we lost power last night for 3 hours (wind and rain and such), but it would have been so much worse if it had been snow.

Hey, the clocks changed, doesn't that mean it's Spring? Well, it used to mean that, or at least that it was sure to be coming soon....:confused3
