Oh why can't we be in a cozy dvc villa right now?!!!

[Anal Annie]

Everybody ready for ROUND # 2 ?? We lost power for only about 7 hours over the weekend in that storm but fear it will happen again in today's with these winds. This dig out will be tough with the drifting. I'm sore just thinking about it!! I feel like we're being buried alive in snow!! I am SOOO ready for our trip at the end of March! This is our first ever spring break trip to Disney and after THIS WINTER it will be so deserved and wonderful to be somewhere green and warm!!

Wondering if the OP ever made it home ... if so "welcome home" but bet they are ready to go back!

Checking in from the Eastern Panhandle of WV and with almost another 12 inches of new snow on top of the 30+ inches still on the ground (and our deck) it is getting depressing. The wind gust woke me up at 6:30AM when I thought our roof was going. So glad they closed the Government again for the 3rd day, but I would've burned a day either way.

We have a snow drift against our French doors and can no longer open them without the snow falling into the house and that is new (wasn't there last night).

Our next trip is 3 weeks from this Saturday and I can't wait! a week at the BCV is just the medicine I need to help me recover!

They closed the schools here in Jefferson County for the remainder of the week. I think I'm done too. I've not left the house since Friday (2/5)

OP -- hope you are safely home! (misery loves company)

The OP is at her home in Maryland...just wishing she were in a DVC Villa right now, as we ALL ARE.

I live 15 min. from the OP. We got 34 inches of snow over the weekend and early this morning they changed today's "Winter Storm Warning" to a "Blizzard Warning" Oh to be at BCV right now.

Annie, we escaped the last storm without losing power. Hope we can do the same this time, but it's been flickering. Washington is not supposed to get this much snow!

The snow is coming down furiously right now. Work has been closed all week, a missed opportunity for a Disney vacation!!

To quote Cosmo Kramer..."In my mind, I'm already there."

 

[edk35]

WOW I have not been on in a while....this thread is still going strong. Well here we are again..............another major storm. So far we have gotten about 12 inches and the blizzard like conditions are NOT good. Just hoping NOT to lose power. We ended up getting 32 inches of snow in Severn last weekend. I can't believe how much snow we have gotten since Dec. JUST CRAZINESS. Our kids are off from school all week this week. Last week they had a two hour delay on Monday a snow day on Wed. and a 2 hour early dismissal on Friday. WHEN WILL IT END???!!! DISNEY TAKE ME AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

LAURIE WE COULD BE AT ANY DVC RESORT HAPPY AS CLAMS RIGHT NOW. This is just depressing.

I finally ventured out yesterday before the snow started. I had cabin fever so bad. I went to the grocery store and I have to say....the roads were still NOT great. As we speak...my dh is going out to help a lady (single mother) that lives two door downs get her car unstuck. She is a nurse and probably has to go in to work. I have a feeling this is not going to work. It is bad out there.

LeeAnn I emailed you and I am thinking your power is out. Girl you won't care about crowds during that trip at all after this. You will be so thankful to be at WDW who cares about the crowds. I wish we were going too.

YAY! They plowed our street today! So we finished digging out the driveway apron and we're good to go now. I became worried about our magonolia tree with the weight of the snow (it's young - only about 5 yrs) so I finally trudged thru to it with a broom. I thought I was stuck for a few minutes 'cuz at one point I went in up to my waist! I had to use the broom to pull myself back up. Anyway, I was too late - we had 2 "major" branches break off on one side, one above the other. So now it is lopsided and "naked" as it has a huge gap.

DMKEDM - I am sorry for your trip being cancelled. Hope your next trip works out better!

Hey we had a frontend loader in our neighborhood for over 12 hours yesterday (two different drivers). I guess the county sent it. Of course it took until Tuesday for them to do anything. We had a plow come through a few times over the weekend but we were buried in snow in our neighborhood. It was bad. However it looked so good last night before the snow got heavy. Now we are back to square one.

 

[MinnieGi]

Well here in DE I'm looking out at total white-out conditions and SOOOOO wishing we in a DVC villa!!!! Our schools have already canceled out the rest of the week and they were off Mon. & Tues. due to the last storm, boy wish I had had a crystal ball and we could have stayed a whole week in Disney and missed all this!!!!!!! Oh plus they have off Mon. for Pres. day so boy it would have been just a fantastic week in any DVC villa missing what is going on up here!!!

Welcome to the club. UGH I heard that Baltimore and DE beat their snowiest season ever records earlier today....now we are way way over that old record. It has really come down since that record was broken. Our kids are also off on Monday. Hey have you watched the news....there might be another storm Monday. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh Yes I wish we had all known this was going to happen....then we could all be enjoying much warmer weather at a DVC resort. I would not even care which one either. DVC take me awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

 

[skorpie]

That's why I come to these boards- to feel the warm fuzzy of Disney and all our there who understand the need of a Disney vacation!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Yes, I've seen reports of more snow coming next week. This is a bad winter.

Are you in NJ Bobbi??

 

[MinnieGi]

Yes, I too saw the mention of another "incident" come next Mon. I felt ill as soon as it was out of "Hurrican Schwarz's" mouth! Although I have two kids who love playing in the snow, this winter is just too much for me!!!

Stay safe and warm everyone and hoping everyone's power stays on!! Ours still is, but too many communities near us have it off.

 

[Vickis3js]

LALALALALLLALALALALALALAL I can't hear you talking about more snow. Nope no more snow for me thanks. I'll pass mother nature can send it somewhere else. My kids have not been back to school yet, its been called off for tomorrow already, and they are scheduled for a 4 day weekend so they are not home until tuesday. If it snows again I can not even imagine when they will go back. 27 days until DH and I go to WDW and its not going to get here soon enough.

I pray that all the predictions are wrong. I'm in NE Indiana and they originally were calling for 12-18 inches yesterday and today. We got 4 inches yesterday and another 2 1/2 overnight. I just looked out and the streets are actually down to pavement NO slush to drive home in and I think we have missed the worst of it.
Stay safe and warm, those of you in PA and DC and MD and all the other states that are being HAMMERED with this winter weather..
