Oh no, 8 more inches of snow coming....

[eilen]

maybe more, tomorrow night and Wednesday

I am so sick of this.

[OhioChick]

1. I hear you....

Can't remember what 30 degrees feels like, either. Haven't seen the grass in weeks, let alone the sun. :(

[Canuckistanian]

2. Grass? I lost sight of grass back in November

March is alway "discovery month" for me, as in "oh, that's where I left that rake".

[OhioChick]

3. I guess I've lost track of time...

It has been months since I've seen the grass.

Once the snow melts in March....I have a weekend job in the yard. We have 2 dogs.....:puke:

[eilen]

6. March is a giant tease

You think, You hope Spring should come in March and it will generally squeeze out at least one 50 degree day just so you can taste it, then dumps snow and freezing rain and very painful winds with ice shards for the next two to three weeks or so; then warming up just enough to make walking out your door a life threatening act with the giant icicles dropping from the roof line which ultimately leaves you with the last three days of mud trying to suck your shoes off if you dare walk in the yard. I usually see rabbits eating my crocus at this time. They mock me.

I hate March. It is unending, has no holidays except St. Patrick's day which translates to a frozen parade and obnoxious drunks and green beer.

4. Grass? What is this fairy tale you speak of?

[ComtesseDeSpair]

5. Yay!

Nothing on earth is more beautiful than freshly fallen snow. Winter is my favorite season by a country mile. :)

[eilen]

7. Well, come on over, we've had over 111 inches. Take some.

I just wish it would get warm enough so I can wash the road salt off my car. Anything over 35 degrees would work.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

14. WOW!!!

You are so lucky! We've only had 22 inches here. I wish you could send your snow my way.

[eilen]

22. Me too.

my mailbox is almost buried and the postman is finicky. I might have to start picking my mail up at the post office soon.

8. Here in WI we just look at it philosophically--it's winter, it snows and gets very cold.

Such is life.

Be thankful that in NY you just get the lots of snow and not the -20 weather afterwards and night after night with the lows in the single digits. My mother is from NY (Binghamton) and I was born there (Westfield, not far from Erie, PA) and she always missed NY state weather. I don't know how people here in WI who live up in Superior live with 6 months of winter a year.

[Muttocracy]

9. actually, this year we have had night after night of single digits - it's driving me nuts

I feel like I'm back in Minnesota!

The sun does shine more in MN in the winter, but it's just a bit too cold for me. This year we started having really cold weather early in December, and there's only been one real warm spell since (right after Christmans). I don't know if it's the ice melting off the Arctic as part of climate change or what. We've had less snow in central NY, but we're staring at the same damn packed snow now ice from months ago.

10. Two words I hated when I lived in Western New York: "Lake effect"

I wished that Lake Ontario would just stay there instead of in my driveway.

[eilen]

11. Seriously, Lake Ontario (Port of Oswego) is about 30 minutes from me

and the Seneca River is on the other side of some development 2 blocks away. I have a snow thrower. We are used to winters here and Spring always seems to be a miracle. I can never take a lovely day for granted. When I lived in San Diego, the people would look at me as if I were addled when I would say "Isn't it a beautiful day?" They'd say "Its like this all the time." In retrospect they probably thought I was high.

What's the worst is the snowplow pushing all that compacted snow at the base of my driveway. That and the ice storms/deep freezes so my car is entombed in an inch thick layer of ice. I should not complain so much, Oswego gets it much worse. I think they had 2 feet or more dumped on them last week.

13. It was always Watertown that got it when I lived in Rochester.

But the last winter I spent in Rochester (1982-83) we had a minimum of 4' of snow on the ground for over 2 months. It never melted. The top of my fence was below the snow. My dog (black Lab) had to "porpoise" through it to find a place to pee or poop. It was piled so high that I couldn't see traffic on the street even standing up let alone backing out of the driveway. I shoveled. And shoveled. And shoveled. Some mornings I'd have to shovel then go shower then go shovel again then get dressed in my business suit and shovel a little more just to get out of the driveway.

Then I moved to Silicon Valley. For 15 years (broken up by 5 years in eastern Washington), my friends in California had to put up with my saying what a beautiful day it was and "Don't you just love California?" I SWORE to myself I wouldn't let a day go by without appreciating the best place to live on the planet, all things considered. My friends got used to it ... and even got more appreciative of living there themselves.

I. Hate. Snow.

Detest it.

[OswegoAtheist]

26. I'm IN Oswego

It's been constant all year; a few inches here, a few more there. The worst we've had was 13" in 24 hrs this season, but it's been adding up all winter. It's a common occurance to look out the window and see a storm come through at night, but they've been pretty tame.

We're estimated at 7-10" for the next 24 hrs.

12. Do you have a sled?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. You know, when I glanced at this title, I initially failed to see the words "of snow."

:spank:

[The Straight Story]

16. me too, I thought maybe they thought I was coming over

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. Wow, you're SHORT! -nt

[eilen]

20. I guess I'm glad I didn't write "2 more feet"

someone might have gotten a little insecure.

[ThomWV]

17. We got about 4 more inches last night that I didn't know was coming

I listened to the weather radio yesterday sort of half heartedly and just caught enough to expect it to be cold and shitty for the next several days. Guess I should have paid more attention. When I let the dogs out this morning it was 18 degrees and there were another four inches or so of snow on the ground. The roads are getting slick as snot because all the previous snow finally got packed down to ice, and now this fluffy shit on top of it. I guess its good for the skiers though. Good for them.

18. Embrace your inner snow fairy

and put your boots on.

;)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

21. Only two more months of this kind of weather

Yippee!!

[JerseygirlCT]

24. Every winter

I feel like I'm just holding on by my fingernails. This year has already been worse than most.

[JerseygirlCT]

23. Me too. Me too. And it's a sure bet

that the friend we pay to clear our driveway won't get around to it until mid-day - AFTER people need to get out. So I'll be getting up early to shovel, AGAIN.

I hate this stuff.

[whistler162]

25. With any luck it will pass south of us....

but it could be worse. It could be cold out also.


OH WAIT IT IS!!!

[Lugnut]

27. I'm sick of it too.

It's been a long, cold, icy, snowy disgusting Fall/Winter.

[KillCapitalism]

28. This has been a bad winter everywhere.

If you live anywhere north of Orlando, FL it's been nasty.

[blue_onyx]

29. We'll be getting 3-5 inches

I'm hoping for the lower amount. I like cold weather but I don't like snow. We've gotten a lot of snow that last 2 winters. The news said we've already reached the average total for the entire winter and there's still several months of winter left.

[eilen]

30. They adjusted our numbers to 9-12 inches

and that's before the Lake Effect kicks in tonight.

[RiverStone]

31. In my world, snow is a wonderful thing!

Here in central Oregon/Washington, we need a healthy snow pack to feed the reservoirs for drinking water during hot and dry summers, the Salmon need it for good river flow and cooler temperatures for spawning, the forests need it to reduce fire danger, and we who love to play in it need it for great skiing and snowboarding.

Besides...it's beautiful!

Guess it's all a matter of perspective....
