It sounds like a day to hunker in and stay warm :). I've read that some folks can't open their doors!

In some way, it makes me nostalgic for Ohio.

The Most Interesting and Cutest Blizzard In the World?

Still have power but my poor pup, when confronted w/ 30+ inches of snow, drifts, and 50mph gusts, has decided it's neither interesting nor cute to do her duty outside today -- and I don't blame her one bit.

Soooo... I may have underestimated my snowfall just a tad. I'm closer to 18 inches but still nowhere near as bad as some of the people in CT and MA that are around the 3 feet mark. I'm reading updates from friends on Facebook who are talking about downed trees and power lines.

Three hours outside shoveling (including breaks to rest) and I'm done... at least, until the plows come by and then rebury the driveway. :annoyed:

The forecast has rain coming in on Monday. That's a concern for anyone with a flat roof (garages, businesses, etc.) because the extra weight of the rain trapping into the already heavy snow could risk a collapse.

I couldnt open my car door :| and then when I DID get it open, all the snow that fell into my car kept me from closing it...lol

I am all shoveled out...from my work lot....Teddy is home digging out our car...rain on Monday will be a curse and a blessing...

Right now I'm just trying to warm back up...I was thigh deep in the snow...and my boots only go to my knees... :canadian:

i dont have boots and most of the snow is mid-thigh to hip deep and i havent made it tothe end of the drive yet getting ready to hit it again

I'm sitting just inside the glass door to my balcony, so the sun can wrap my legs.

Snow on the balcony over mine is melting and a stream of beads is hitting the iron railing and bouncing out like the prototype of a splash.

The street is packed down, white with patches of pavement showing through as the sun does it work, and navigable. Still, the woman with whom I am having a long-standing relationship feels it would be unwise for me to drive out to Long Island. I think she's right, but I would have braved it if she had needed me.

There's something coming down, too fast to be snow but too multi-directional to be rain. I've been on weather.gov educating myself about the vocabulary of weather. Apparently there is something at high altitudes called super-cold particles that are below freezing temperature, but don't freeze.

I picked out a few movies on pay per view to watch tonight. I thought about calling someone to meet for dinner or drinks or something but just don't feel motivated enough to pull it off. It's nice to sit in the warm sun by the window. I'm willing my pores to open to all the vitamin D coming my way.

had to walk it home because city transit was not running and staff coming on duty were saying drivers were not doing so sporty on the roads. Walking sucked, I kid you not. The sidewalks were not plowed any better this afternoon than they were this morning.... so I walked in the street for severeal stretches of the way.

One of the boys was really concerned I had to walk home. He asked that I call and let them know I made it home safe... Damnit man, I love my job!!
:fastdraq:

well I have moved more then 2 tons of snow to dig out 1 car and get it turned around so all i have to do is drive out in the am.

IT will be a tight fit but ms cinn will be able to pull into the drive tonite she will just have to move it in the am so I can go to work tg it wont b like 3 am.

I will b glad when its all gone

baby you are the bestest :) xoxoxooxxo

HERCULES HERCULES!!!!

Baby just b careful when u pull in its close but u can do it


wait till u see the mounds of snow lining the driveway

Icicles are hanging from the Christmas lights strung on the railing of my balcony.

Times Square. the sidewalks are clear. its still beautiful.
But i need a flight out on sunday, here is hoping :)

Let's make a FORT! Surely it will be warmer than the house....lol mostly kidding...no not kidding at all....lol

Gosh times like this I wish my brother and sister were little again...whose kids can we borrow??? I need justification for snow frolicking... :|
