Glad to see a thread where we can complain about the snow! I feel like it's been snowing here in NY for 3 days straight...although I guess we did get a few hours off yesterday. It's finally stopped here.
I don't mind looking at snow, it's pretty and all that, but I HATE to drive in it, and it doesn't seem that they're doing a bang up job of cleaning the roads. From where I'm sitting in my house I have a great view of my neighbors all out there cleaning off their driveways...our neighbor had been nice enough to plow ours with his 4 wheel/snowmobile type thingy (yeah, that's the technical name for it!) but it now appears to be stuck! That's not good, considering we only have one snow shovel (just moved here in September.) So I guess my poor DH is on his own!
Here's my quick SE new england weather update. It's not raining or snowing anymore (for now) but windy as heck and freezing the slush on the ground. fun commute in the morning, now back to your regurlaly scheduled podcast thread.
It has snowed here near Buffalo all day. School was closed last Friday because of the snow. I think we had a high of maybe 20 degrees earlier today. The winds are now gusting to 40 mph and I can't see my outside Christmas lights from my window. All I want to do is finish my Christmas shopping but I can't get out of my driveway. The snow plow has not been by at all today. My DH just said to me "Why aren't we in Disney now?"
DH and I just came in from shoveling about a foot of snow that has come down since early this morning. It finally stopped but is now blowing around like crazy. Thank goodness for the Toro electric shovel! Had to do the driveway twice as we cleared it and then cleared off the cars so we had to do it again. It's been crazy around here since the ice storm last week. We need a break!
It's 1 degree F here with a -22 degree windchill.... My DH went on our deck to fire up the grill (yes he does that ALL winter) and he could NOT get it to heat up very fast....it's a gas grill but it took forever to get it cooking at the right temp.
I enjoy the snow but this is rediculous. Over 20" and 6 hours of shoveling between yesterday and today. After the 7 hour Christmas shopping trip today, the last thing I needed was 3 hours of shoveling until 10pm.
