EWWWWW!! Tammy, that sucks! I can't even imagine that kind of snow. That's like friggin' New York!

She lives just south of Albany New York. This is the first measurable snow fall for them. The major snow that has been falling forever was north of her.

wow, I'm SO glad your mom isn't in the midst of all that other snow, Tammy. This will be bad enough for her, but at least it's not on top of all that other snow. I hope she fares well.

I heard that people in NY had snow up to their roof tops. Tammy, is that true or just an exaggeration? I can imagine there could be some truth in that seeing that they have already gotten more than 110 inches of snow already! :twisted:

Actually she is happy in a way because my dad will finally get out of the house. He plows snow in the winter and works construction during the summer and he has been laid off since the first of December.

I cannot believe that you found rear wheel drive and fish tailing fun! LOL

I took me 2 hours to drive home from work tonight - a 15 minute drive! I didn't eve have my foot on the gas peddle - just coasted all the way home.
Then I get stuck trying to get into my drive way! I am not going into work tomorrow! I don't think that I will be able to get out of the drive and they are calling for blizzard conditions during the night.@@###$$$! The mayor of cleveland is telling everyone to stay off the roads so that is what I am going to do.

Steelers, mom said it is actually that bad. There is a crew that is actually climbing on the roofs and shoveling the snow off. I want snow, but not that much.

I'm glad the ice/freezing rain missed us. I feel bad for you and Jessi, Steelers. I know how dangerous those driving conditions can be. I think it's going to take my husband quite a while to dig out our driveway today. He's going to wait to see if it warms up a bit. The sun is shining this morning and it is actually very pretty outside. But now there is a windchill advisory out until tomorrow. His boss called him this morning to see if you could come in. His boss got a little nasty with him but hubby told him no because we are under a Level 3 here. I guess a lot of guys that live a lot closer are calling in as well. If we go out today, we could get arrested for being non emergency. I don't think it's worth the risk and that's what he told his boss.

Polly, I thought it was fun fishtailing because it was another "up-north first" for me!! LOL, They still happen after 11 years..

Today was nice and sunny..It's getting better.

Ok yesterday was pull BULL$%#*! LOL Tell me why we normally have FIFTY people working the floor at my Priceline facility alone...Guess how many we had yesterday? FOUR!

One person..ME..taking sales calls....One person taking CCC calls...One person in Hotel TS, and one person in Air TS....

BULL#&$*! We had other facilities open in PA, and Nashville, and one in FL....BUT at MINE only us 4. I was sooooo upset. I had non stop calls ALL day...Just one small break..and to get that, I had to "accidentally" disconnect my phone.....

My throat hurts so bad....And if I hear one more person say, "I'm sick of the snow..I don't know where I want to go...Just somewhere hot.." You're going to see me on the news...Because I will have gone on a rampage.

I got stuck in my neighborhood yesterday morning 4 times on my way to work yesterday, and the roads that I take to work still suck. GAHHHHHHHHHH! OH, and Plain city's temp right now is -1. It's warmed up since last night when it was -5. I won't even give you a clue to the dirty words that were coming out of my mouth last night when I saw that. I will say that they definately were NOT ladylike....lol

I can say right now is a great time to be unemployed LOL! Sorry Jessi, I can relate to where you are coming from. I had a forty-five mile commute on my last job, one way. I live in the country and our road gets bad when it snows. My one boss lived ten minutes from work but I usually beat him into work. I had to leave before the chickens woke up. Once I was late, called in, and he docked me two hours pay. I had to get ahold of his boss to get that taken care of. The roads are better here today but hubby is leaving extra early this morning so he can be to work on time.

I couldn't get my van out of the drive yesterday - three foot snow drift in the drive! Then when I went to get out os the house, I couldn't get our of the back door - had to go through the front and fell into a drift up to my waist! It took us six hours just to make a path to the drive and do the berm! I HATE THIS S#$T!!!

I think we need a smilie for ROFL..... :lol:

Jeff...I think you'd be shocked at the interpretive dance...LOL

It was better today...COLD but better. I need the sun....badly! :)

I am about to stomp a mudhole on Mother Nature's very own A$$. This sucks. When I first moved to this friggin' arctic land everyone said "oh no, it's not like wisconsin, we don't get much snow.." That's a bunch of S**T. I was lied to.

When the hell does this end? I swear, I would give anything to move back home right now. I am so damn sick and tired of bad roads..And then today my windshield wipers blew a fuse, and of course the terrific folks at Chrysler didn't include a spare fuse in the fuse box.

My wipers are covered in ice....And it's too cold to be worried about it right now...

I can't take it anymore either Fins....Let's quit. We'll move to Aruba...Not only are they warm ALL year..They're out of the hurricane belt..

Now we could be kidnapped and sold into forced prostitution...But that could be a small price to pay to never deal with snow again...***kidding***

I'm getting sick of the bad roads also. I am not allowed to call of work during snow emergencies and that includes level 3 emergencies, and I have had to drive in this crap all week and it has been very dangerous I have to spend my day driving from one end of the county to the other end and it SUCKS! :twisted:

I haven't been out of the house since monday. I'm getting out today because they are calling for another three inches tomorrow on top of the foot that we already have. Walking through the yard can be dangerous at times. I feel for you Steelers. Be careful out there. I'm ready to move to Florida. I'll buy a big van so we can all go together :-)

Well, this morning I was able to go for a run!! It was the first time I've been able to run OUTSIDE for 2 weeks, and it was great..

But then it got nasty again. :cry: I blew a fuse..My windshield wipers and turn signals. That was sexy..Of course I was about to make a turn when it happened, I had to stick my arm out the window to show I was turning. So I was able to pull over and take the fuse box cover off..There was an extra fuse, but I couldn't get it out..I tugged and tugged, and it went flying and went under my seat. I had to get out and kneel down so I could get it, and of course it landed in melting snow from my shoes, so I had to dry it off..What's next?

Fins,

It sounds like you have the same kind of luck that I do LOL! I'm a clutz by nature so things go flying around me all of the time :-) It's snowing here this morning. They are calling for another three inches. "sigh" Yesterday, it was decent out during the afternoon. I'm going to be making scarves today with some extra yarn I have. I don't feel like going out today. I've alreay played in the snow with the puppies this morning. My little pekingnese loves the snow and he's like a little clown out there :-)

Here I am at work - and snow is coming down AGAIN! Next year if I hear anyone say that they wish it would snow you will be reading about my trial in the paper! And don't let any tell you that there is no building going on! I work in the building industy and we are SWAMPED with work!

Remember how nice December was? We had temps in the 60s, and we all wondered when it was going to snow...I will never ever look a gift horse in the mouth again!

It's snowing here again, but it's almost 30, so that makes it not as bad as it could be. I'm just sick of it.

I got stuck in the snow in my driveway this morning...And the drunk neighbor I talked about in the other thread had to come and help me.

I went up on an ice drift...My drivers side front tire was up in the air. Real swift out of me.

Ok, I want to thank whoever sent the snow my way. It is snowing like crazy here. YIPEEEE! :D Northwest TN is seeing snow.

Good news for anybody in OH, by Wednesday the temps are going to be in the upper 40's!

Yippeee? Tammy...Do you have a fever?

I question the forecast also Jessi. We go from this to temps in the 40's? But it is OH and they do say stick around for 5 minutes and the weather will change.

No I don't have a fever. :lol: I am just happy to finally see some snow. Down here all we seem to get is ice. Sorry, I am from the north and miss the snow.

Tammy, you can come stay at my house.....I have PLENTY of snow.....lol

Hey this is kinda creepy..Someone came over and cleaned off my car..I wonder if it's the old man that got caught looking in my windows a few years ago.

I know this has nothing to do with the weather, but in Milan they had a case of road rage. A woman stopped at a stop sign and a guy got out of his vehicle and started yelling profanities and pointed a gun at the womans head. Thank goodness someone seen what was going on and called the police. She stated she was driving a little slow, and she guessed he was aggrevated because he couldn't get around her. GOes to show there are weirdos everywhere.

LOL, good thing she wasn't driving behind me! :lol:

My claim to fame is that I never, ever speed! Jess and Polly can verify that!

Now if it had been my hubby behind her, he would have given her the finger and went on. Wonder if that is considered road rage?

Probably, you can't get away with anything anymore. I give the finger a couple of times a week, people ride my bumper a lot. I swear, if you don't like the fact I'm going the limit, go in the fast lane. You can get a ticket, not me!! :lol:

I was just coming home from work and this fool was behind me all the way down the one main road I was taking he is flipping me off! The way that the road was plowed after the blizard left it a one laner and it is snowing so badly at this time that the road is now snow covered again! What a jerk! When we finally got to a cleared area he took off like a shot and did dounuts in the street.

and Irish, you were nice and didn't laugh at him, right? LOL

LOL irish! I guess we better save up our points for your bail money :-)

I've learned to give the finger under my steering wheel. I have to hide my road rage somedays. Somedays, they see the finger because I make a point of it.

Thanks - I may need it! I was just looking at the weather and this fool weatherman comes out and says the there is light snow in the area. I look out the window and I have about 5-6 inches of "light" snow and it is coming down fast and furious!

I was so happy that it was snowing til my windshield CRACKED!!!! :evil: It decided to turn to ice for a while and I was running the defrosters to thaw the ice enough I could see and I heard a pop and the crack went all across my windshield. This will be the second windshield this year. Now I am pissed and I officially hate the snow!!

YAY Tammy's come over to the other side! YIPPEEE!

The snow is stupid...

I love it how the "ONE INCH" they told us we were going to get yesterday ended up being THREE! Jerks.

I'm doing ok today..We have 35 degree temps, and it's supposed to get up to 40 next week!!!!

Okay, it is going to cost $256.00 to replace my windshield. I have officially declared war on "old man winter".

I know I am sick and tired of winter. I live in Mississippi and it is not supposed to be 15 degrees here. Today it is going to be around 60 and later this week is going to be in the 70s more like it is supposed to be

I know, the temps are suppose to be upper 60's most of the week and looking at the 70's by the weekend with rain. I will take rain over snow anyday.

Please disregard my earlier posts begging for snow. I DON"T WANT IT!!!

Tammy,

I'm sorry to hear about your windshield. I look out and see fields of snow, literally since I live in the country. It was windy today but it warmed up rather nice. It feels like bikini season outside compared the the zero below weather we've been having lately.

It was 46 today!!! I was outside in a sweatshirt, and I was only COLD, not freezing! :lol: The nasty snow is melting, and there is dirty slushy stuff all over the roads. Looks like that stupid grounhog may've been right after all.

LOL When I left work tonight I opened the door and braced myself for the biting cold....Then I thought, "WHERE IS IT? I CAN'T FEEL THE COLD!" LOL And you know it's bad when 30ish feels WARM...lool
