Good luck East Coasters!

[CaseyK37]

I just heard on the news that a huge snow storm is heading for the East Coast:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a.5WYrosdjEs&pos=9

I don't know if anyone is going to be in that area but I know we have a few ladies from the East Coast! Good luck with your travels and be careful!! I hope you can get all your shopping done and not have to go out in that. Stay inside and bundle up if you can! :yesnod:

[ikkin510]

I just heard from my mom that my brother is on his way home from college right now. He is stuck in his car on the interstate in virginia and it sounds like he'll be there for at least 24 hours.
Good luck to everyone out there and avoid roads if you can! Thanksfully, my part of PA is suppose to get little to no snow.

[kgvettegirl]

The cars are covered, the jeep is at the end of the driveway facing out, We just went to Costco and the grocery store so we won't starve LOL. They are calling for 18 inches to 2 feet. Duck is supposed to come home tomorrow, but his school alreadys has a foot of snow. (he is up in the mountains of VA, West Virginia) RC has the generator primed and ready.

[kgvettegirl]

Just looked out the window and............................................... ....


















It's snowing!

[CaseyK37]

It's snowing!

Ack!!! I hope you don't get as much as they are expecting! Good thing it's the weekend!

[Goin2thechapel]

Thanks hun! Some parts of Massachusetts now have a Blizzard warning. Danielle will probably see about 12-18 inches of snow. I'm northern MA and we're looking at less with 4-8

Take pictures everyone and share!!!!! I love snow storms!!!!

This is what we have so far. RCjr is driving home on Interstate 95 and 20mph is too fast. I'm so glad I'm home and snug in my house.

[gwenshack]

This is insane. One minute it wasn't snowing, then it started, now everything is covered. Thankfully my brother came home between the started and covered parts. His friend John is planning on coming over to get stuck with us so I'm hoping he gets here ASAP.

Coming from L.A...well...this should be interesting...;) They said D.C. is the "bulls eye" of the storm...:boggle:

[WebLady]

Hope everyone stays safe and warm!

No snow here in GA, just lots of rain the last few days.

[gwenshack]

Here's a few photos from our storm.

Well, this one's not from the storm, but from my brother's White Elephant Exchange at work. :rofl:

These I just took so you guys could see. I doubt they're great photos, but you'll get the gist. These are my brother Jeff and his friend John (who decided to get snowed in with us instead of his own family :rofl:) right after John got here...

P.S. I love that those two fools will do anything for a laugh...;)

[yam102284]

Good luck to everyone who's in the path of the storm! Hope everyone stays safe! NH is actually on the northern part of it and it's only expected to brush us, so they're only calling for maybe a few inches for us. I'm so glad because I don't want another storm this soon.

http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/gwenshack/IMG_1275.jpg

Looks like we're gonna be here a while...;)

[Ninedays9]

Wow, that's crazy (all the pics)! Keep warm, everyone that's getting snow storms! We haven't had that kind of snow here (yet).

[ChibiAiChan]

it's white here in Michigan! was dribing home from fil's home last night and saw some people in a ditch o.o and people still driving stupid!!

[Tadswife]

Here in Wisconsin we are snow free at the moment! For all you ladies stuck in the snow storm mess keep safe, stay home and bundle up. The pictures that are up now are a very good reminder that the winter has only started. We could be the next one's reporting 2 feet of snow.....

[melissa1031]

It started snowing around 10 pm last night and hasn't stopped yet.Some one got their car stuck in my parking lot.They had to leave the car there.

[SkippyNXC]

no snow here yet, it looks like its gonna start any minute but they're saying that IF it snows it won't be like like 1am... somehow i doubt that... the sky is just SCREAMING snow...

[gwenshack]

Good luck Nicole...;) They say ours is going to keep going until 9 pm tonight! :boggle:

[Goin2thechapel]

Hasn't started here yet (Massachusetts) But it's looking like we're going to get a bad one. The cape even has a Blizzard warning...Thanks for all of these pictures!!!!! Liz, I can't believe that before and after shot of your deck!!!! HOLY COW!!!! You all are getting lots of snow!

I'll post pictures tomorrow when we have snow!

[yam102284]

That's what they said for us too, like early early morning. We're only supposed to get 1-3 inches right now, so hopefully it stays south of us that we only get that amount.

[gwenshack]

They're now saying the snow here is going to go until 6 a.m. Everything here is blanketed. It's crazy! Hope everyone stays safe. :yesnod:

[kgvettegirl]

Still snowing here. I think we are going to end up with about 2 feet. The back deck is even deeper than this morning.

[ikkin510]

It's been looking like it was going to snow here all day. Not even a flurry yet though. My mom is an hour and half south and she has 6 inches so far.

[gwenshack]

The snow has piled...

http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/gwenshack/IMG_0928.jpg

And the natives are getting restless...

http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/gwenshack/IMG_0921.jpg

Jeff and John and my mom and I have found all kinds of interesting ways to entertain ourselves...

http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/gwenshack/IMG_0924.jpg

And then we found an old sled...

http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/gwenshack/IMG_0929.jpg

http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/gwenshack/IMG_0932.jpg

And then we decided to finally investigate the attic that had never been opened...

http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/gwenshack/IMG_1288.jpg

And it's still snowing...Stay tuned...

[Ninedays9]

Haha, Gwen, you are funny. It looks like you're finding ways to entertain yourselves while being snowed in.

[ksherlin]

No snow in TN.... Lots and lots of rain like Brandi... I am heading to NC tom, an hour from the coast... maybe it will snow there...:crossfingers:

[gwenshack]

You're so funny - I love how you want it to snow and I just want it to go away! :rofl: Have fun in NC! :heart:

[SkippyNXC]

well its snowing here but its such a light dusting... very pretty to watch tho ;)

[ikkin510]

Gwen your family looks like a blast to be around!
We only ended up with a half inch here. My kinda snow!

[melissa1031]

I'll send it all to you.

[kgvettegirl]

Rc dug out the drive way and we hopped in the Jeep to go over to the farm and check on Mom and Dad. We got stuck! Their drive way is drifted over and must be 30 inches deep. Thank goodness their neighbor was trying to clear his parents drive way (his mom just got back from the hospital, broken hip) so Al pulled us out and followed us back to the main road. I called Mom and they have provisions to last about a week or more so they are ok.

[f77g4]

We are expected to get this storm around Tuesday - saying close to 10cms. We're suppose to get a dusking in the meantime. Then we should be good until Christmas Day when they are calling for flurries and then Boxing Day 10+cms.

As long as it doesnt storm Christmas Eve day I'm good - we're leaving to go back to our hometown that day.

[ksherlin]

I SAW SNOW!!!! REAL SNOW!!! It is the best snow I have seen in my life! lol. It was probably 2 feet while we were going through Ashville, NC today! I was so excited that we stopped and played in it before continuing on where it is 50 degrees!!!

Thanks for all the snow sent to me!!! HAHAHAHA..... I loved it! Probably the first and last snow I will see all year!:yesnod:

[melissa1031]

Schools was closed today because of the snow.FH thinks there won't be any school tomorrow either.I hope there is.I still have so much to do before christmas.They only had school today,tomorrow& wednesday and then they were out for x-mas break.But if they don't go to school that means I'll have to send FH to the mall alone and then I'll be up half the night on x-mas eve getting everything ready.

So please let there be school!!!!!Atleast on wednesday.

is it really still that bad?? lol i was so annoyed b/c i called the APA in DC n they were closed :realmad: n i've been putting off making that call for like a month!!

we ended up barely getting a dusting... maybe like 3 or 4 inches but it was powder so i just opened my car door n slammed it and voila.. instant snow-free car!

Only the main roads are clear.The side streets are still pretty bad.Some of the schools here have kids that come from a rural area.The sun was shining yesterday.So some of it melted(not much),but then it got real cold last night.So it just ice over.Fh said the drive to work this morning was pretty bad.

Yesterday afternoon they announced that school was closed today.I was mad.The kids were happy.

Do you mean the associated pool league.I think thats what APA stands for.

[gwenshack]

There is so much snow. I can't get over it. I'm actually glad I don't drive around here - I don't want it to be my responsibility if something happens. :boggle: I think we're gonna try to get out of the house today - we've been in since Friday night and I think we're going a little stir crazy...

Oh, and the heat on the downstairs level broke so we've got two different weather patterns in the house - downstairs is the Arctic, upstairs is the Bahamas. :rofl:

[Danielle9608]

Thanks hun! Some parts of Massachusetts now have a Blizzard warning. Danielle will probably see about 12-18 inches of snow. I'm northern MA and we're looking at less with 4-8

Take pictures everyone and share!!!!! I love snow storms!!!!

I got a little over a foot. :realmad:

[kgvettegirl]

The roads here are still bad, think Ice rink. 301 is clear one lane in each direction becasue it is a major snow route. You would think that route 3 would be clear but it isn't. RC took the jeep to work today and he said that the base is still snowed in, the main gate hasn't even been cleared. Secondary roads are even worse.

[William Petruzzo]

About two feet of snow where I'm at and tons of fun! Plus, home made apple cider never quite tastes so good as when you're snowed in.

[WebLady]

Hope you all stay safe and warm!

It was 35 degrees and frosty when I got up this morning; it is about 40 degrees now and the frost is all but gone.

[SkippyNXC]

haha no it's american psychological association... i have to return a book to them b/c their first printing had so many mistakes they're sending out a corrected 2nd printing for free... but the catch is you have to have called by today... i sent an email and despite being closed got a response saying that i'm fine since i emailed em today so it's all gravy now...

i guess i was just shocked that it was THAT bad of a storm... are you guys not used to getting that much? i feel like 2 feet of snow here so long as it stops the night before and doesn't freeze over schools are open the next day and no one bats an eye...

Yeah D.C. doesn't get 2 feet very often...they said this was a "historic" storm! :rofl:

[Ninedays9]

I hope you were able to get out today, Gwen. And I hope there are no troubles for anyone else in the snow storm areas with driving.

We're supposed to get a bit of a storm on Christmas... though we are used to the snow, it still stinks because of travelling. I hope it doesn't affect our plans.

[CaseyK37]

I am glad everyone survived the snow!! It looks like you guys got a ton!! Yikes! :blink:

Boo!! :bbsad: I am getting kind of nervous because they are calling for 12 inches in my area. I have Christmas with my family on Christmas Eve and then I have to be back to work on Christmas day... It is suppose to snow the heaviest starting Christmas Eve night and then go until Christmas day afternoon. If it does I have no clue how I am going to make it back to town to work. Why does it have to snow!?

[melissa1031]

No school again today.There proably won't be school tomorrow either.I have so much to do to get ready for christmas still.I don't know how I'm going to get it all done.

[uptowngirl]

It was so fun to see everyone's pictures of the snow! We were in Mexico all last week and were supposed to fly home on Sunday but all the flights to the east coast were canceled or delayed. After 8 hours of waiting we ended up getting a flight into Philadelphia - but the airport was pretty much shut down so we couldn't get the rest of the way home. We ended up just canceling the second leg of our flight since we didn't know when we'd actually be able to leave and renting a car and driving home - In case anyone is curious it takes about 8 hours to drive from Philly to Portland Maine - and you get some cool views of NYC along the way! LOL!

Of course we got to Maine and there is NO snow at all here!

[Nekochanpurr]

Wow guys, stay warm! Thats a lot of snow. :D And nice pics! haha

[f77g4]

We are getting a big system now - snowfall warning started yesterday and continues into tonight. I sure hope that things clear off so we can travel the 1 hour to our parents tomorrow!

[uptowngirl]

Stay safe! Hopefully it ends during the night so they can get the roads cleared out!

It's supposed to hit us on Saturday, but right now it's calling for ice pellets/rain instead of snow.

Thanks Sarah!

They are calling for more hear on Sunday which is a mix of snow, rain and ice.

[RevMatty]

That storm that hit the upper midwest dumped 13.2 inches of snow in my backyard.

Needless to say I had my hands full measuring snow all weekend, since I signed up to become a trained weather spotter.

And I just put a new belt on the snow blower this winter, and had to replace it cause it took a beating from this storm. Go figure.
