I hope everyone who is in a stormy area or having other bad related weather stuff is safe!!
We in NJ are looking at 2 storms...one coming Thursday...could bring 5-8inches of snow, sleet, ice, freezing rain. Then on Saturday night into Sunday a Nor-Easter!!
Thursdays storm is supposed to start in the morning after we get to work & go until maybe the evening (bet ya rush hour!!!) My job never lets us out early as we are customer service, but if its bad I'll leave early...even though sometimes I better off waiting it out at work while the sand & salt the roads.
One good thing about being pregnant in the winter...no shoveling for me!!!

Oh Lawn, Please be careful!!!
Yep, thanks to those wonderful storms I have to work overtime  We got so many re-orders for snowblowers that we now cannot keep up. So it's long hours during the week plus weekends. I am sooooo looking forward to the shutdown the week of Christmas  They asked me if I wanted to work that week (well not Mon. or Tues.) I told them hell no I am not working lol.
Stay safe all of you in that area!!!

Not looking forward to this weekend. Maybe big storm approaching the midwest! I am lucky though do not have to shovel snow or put out salt...the benefits of living in an apartment! For those who do have to shovel...take it easy on that job!

Seven inches of snow here in about five hours. Made for a real entertaining day at work, driving in that slop. Home now, safe and none the worse for wear.

Seven inches while you were at work? Lord. My biggest fear is being trapped at work! I wouldn't mind being trapped at home! But work?!?  I do believe I would tunnel my way home!

My work vehicle has 4 powered wheels, brand new Michelin mud/snows all around, and it weighs 10,000+ pounds. Trust me, I ain't gonna get trapped at work.

You can have it, with my compliments!
I suppose what we got it great for skiing. I wouldn't know, personally. I'm just a southerner, living in exile in Vermont. I suspect that if Texans were meant to ski, bullsh*t would be white.
Every year about this time, we get the first real snowfall. And every year about this same time, we get a rash of vehicle accidents like you wouldn't believe. This afternoon at work, I saw over a dozen car wrecks. About half of them were one-vehicle accidents where somebody had failed to negotiate a curve or similar feature in the snow, and wound up in somebody else's front yard or up against a tree for their lapse. Most of the rest were rear-enders. [Ya just can't stop on a dime in the slop...] Seven of those accidents involved at least one vehicle with license plates from states like CT, NJ, or FL.

Our state got hit really bad Sunday- President declared our whole state a disaster. I have been at a shelter for over three days-came home last night. We had 5 huge limbs come through our roof and the 3 trees that were over 40 years old ,in our yard, are almost completely gone. Much of the state still without power- no groceries in stores and the worse part- we have a major snow storm coming in tonight- the Govenor said that it would cause more problems because it's a wet snow  don't know how long I will be on today-killing time before our adjuster comes, but have missed the forums and my friends--be safe everyone..Karen

Bossy, I am sorry to hear about that. We are going to get hit again this weekend. I think it is your way tonight and tomorrow and working its way to my area Saturday night through Monday.
I hope everything works out...

Hope you get back to a normal life soon, Bossy. Sorry about your storm damage. I hope the insurance adjuster plays straight with y'all.

I was in that storm I spent a 1/2 an hour with my car running to defrost the thick ice stuck on it and we are suppose to get more snow tonight, yuk, hate it.
What I can't believe are the idiots out driving around like it is a summer day and then get into accidents...we had like 120 something Tuesday where the police department was just telling everyone without serious injuries to exchange information with each other. Crazy
