Please pray for snow!!!

[Nixxxed]

There is an actual chance that Southeast Texas may have a white Christmas! With the Arctic front moving south this week, the weather folks are predicting "snow showers" for the Houston area on Friday into Saturday.

I've NEVER had a white Christmas, even when I lived in east Tennessee when I was young. I'd really like to see one. So, if you have a spare moment, please pray, do a snow dance, stick a pin in a weather voodoo doll -- however you can help.

Even if it's an inch of snow -- that's enough to pump up the ole innertubes and sled down our local seawall!!! (Besides, it's hilarious around here when we get even mildly icy conditions. People down here don't even know what snow tires are. Plus, we desperately need a good freeze to kill off the mOtHeRf*CkInG mosquitoes.)

LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!!!!! :thumbsup:

[amber]

okay, i'll do my little snow dance for you! I was gonna do one anyway. :D
Which color shawl do you wear for this one? *twirl*

[WelshWitchPMD]

You can keep the snow in Texas, too. I don't want it here in Rhode Island. :laugh:

[Livia]

Dontcha just love Texas weather? Nearly 80 today, I turned on the AC at work when I came back from lunch. It won't get out of the 40's tomorrow and we may have snow flurries on Christmas! :p

[HomerMcvie]

Geez, we're expecting 6-10" tomorrow. I wish I could give it to ya! :nod: :nod:

[Lala]

Cool. I hope you guys get your white Christmas. Here in southern Alberta we suffe from many brown Christmases :(

[pianogirl04]

They've had us for a wintry mix on Christmas Eve for a week now. It was so warm today I could have washed the dog in my swimsuit. I'd love to have my first white Christmas, but I'm worried that it might turn into an ice storm. Perfect time to have one, I guess, but we're anything but prepared for one...

(Partly because I'm pretty much right by ya!) I was walking around outside today thinking, Why am I not wearing a tank top and shorts? And it's the 21st of December! It's crazy.

[wondergirl9847]

It's crazy that us Southerners are excited about snow, but we are! :blob1: They are saying flurries tomorrow and Thursday. Looks to be sunny, but very cold on Christmas though in North Texas. :( Bah, humbug!! LOL

I'll never forget the Valentines Day "snowstorm" of 2003. :laugh: It was amazing!!

[sara1998]

I say bring on the snow! We're expecting that same front to hit us tonight, early tomorrow morning, and we're expecting up to 6 inches.

Sorry, HomerMcVie! I'm doing the snow dance for Texas and Indiana!

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'll pray for snow in TX, if you pray for no snow (or ice) in WV. :thumbsup:

The snow's okay...I just find it more depressing when it's all nasty outside. At least I drive 4WD. Today was GREAT! 47 and sunny!!! That's my kind of winter weather. :thumbsup:

Gotta love the weather...

Come on down to Austin, snow! :blob2:

[wondergirl9847]

I woke up this morning to snow on the ground and it fell alot all morning. It's quit now, but everything still has a dusting on it.

I took this pic of my dog's paw prints in the snow. Hee!

[pianogirl04]

It's... raining. :laugh: And warm enough for shorts right now.... hopefully after this front comes through it'll cool down. They still have us for a wintry mix Friday... *crosses fingers*

[HomerMcvie]

I got jipped..... :distress:
Aren't you in Indy? Surely to gawd you didn't get jipped! :lol: Looking out my B'ton window, it looks like about 8" on my deck table. :distress:
Now, I've gotta bundle up, and shovel my sidewalks. Not that I couldn't walk thru it, but if you pack it down by walking on it, it stays there forever!

[Nixxxed]

Thanks, everyone for your thoughts! However, they just changed our forecast for Friday and took out almost all chances of precipitation. It's just gonna be cold and damp and muddy from all the rain we've had this week (which means I'll be stuck in the house all day with toy-crazed 4-10 year olds :shocked: ).

I did meditate for those of you who DIDN'T want snow. However, it looks like Indiana and WV (and the rest) are still gonna get blasted.

God hates me. :D Maybe in my next lifetime I'll have more pull.

Right now it is 64 and sunny. I'm hoping to get this storm over with so I can go back to my place for New Years.

[amber]

Probably. From what i've heard, God rewards people who talk about having "pull" with him. :laugh:
sorry you didn't get snow. I didn't either. course, it hasn't really snowed here for about 100 years or something, so.

LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!!!!! :thumbsup:

I know what you mean. It's like that here even if snow is remotely in the forecast. Forget buying bread or milk. The shelves are completely empty! It's like people think they're gonna be snowed in for WEEKS instead of one friggin day, and God forbid you be without those essential items. I say stock up on beer/wine, chips/dip, and chocolate chip cookies and ride out the huge blizzard (that consists of 1-2 inches at the most!).

Just drive by a Walmart and take a look at the parking lot if you're ever in the south during a snow forecast. It'll crack you up! :p

I got one of those calls on New Year's morning a couple of years ago...after having some (um, lots of) wine. I was like, ya know what? I don thin I can make it right now either, thanks though!

But it's snowing now, and now their talking up to 15 inches! :blob2: I'm in Brownsburg, in Hendricks County, and the further I went southeast this morning to work, the worse it was. I was doing 30 mph. on 70.... :shocked: I was not a happy driver...

He must love the crap out of me - we were supposed to get 1 or 2 inches here (which to us is like a light drizzle :p ) and ended up with almost a foot! Well, what do I expect, I live in friggin' Buffalo. At least my dog had fun in it.

[estranged4life]

what lil' snow we received melted yesterday...I hope it snows more this winter, It sucks never having a snowy Christmas Eve/And or Day :(

:mad: Christmas has been cancelled, or at least postponed... 22 inches at my aunt's house. She called today, and said they thought the roads were too bad for most to make it, so Christmas is off. :shocked:
You want snow? You can have every damned flake of it!
Not trying to bum anyone out, but snow sucks! I've got the proof right here.

Sorry dude, that really sucks. I really don't mind snow at all UNTIL it starts to affect my life - mainly bad driving, or things being cancelled. I hope you find a way to have a nice holiday anyway. Have a drink & keep warm! :wavey:

Totally OT - 1000 posts - Merry Christmas to me! :angel:

[Nixxxed]

THANK YOU

to everyone who prayed that I'd have a White Christmas. It worked! Well, sorta. We've had snow flurries here on and off all day, and it's finally cold enough to stick. So, at the very least we'll have a White Christmas Eve. Now, I'll be awake all night waiting to see if we can go

SLEDDING!!! :blob2: :blob2: :blob2:

FYI -- I'm about 2 miles north of Galveston, 30 miles south of Houston, right on the Texas coast. In the pics I've attached, you can see that this really is the tropics. Nothing like tropical foliage covered in pure white icy goodness!

OK -- now I'm off to change into some dry socks, and I'm heading back outside!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAZE EVERYONE!!!

I'm still crossing my fingers but I don't think we're going to get any of the white stuff. :distress: I see green on the radar over Lake Charles and Lafayette and it's been below freezing all day, so maybe there's a chance...

We didn't drain the pool this year and to keep the sand filter from freezing we run it when it gets below freezing -- it's been running for over two days straight now. I just hope it doesn't stop working. Anybody wanna go swimming? :laugh:

My pool's winter cover is held in place with sandbags. Yesterday, the weight of all this 18" of snow we got, pulled the cover in, along with 12-14 60lb sandbags, in the deep end, of course. I have NO idea what to do.........I guess I'll just have to wait until late spring to fish it all out. I can think of no other way to get them out, other than waiting til it's almost warm enough to start swimming, get in and freeze my ass off, and carry them to the shallow end.
It's -7 right now, with 18" on the ground....it's a winter wonderland. :distress:

[Nixxxed]

Anybody wanna go swimming? :laugh:

Sure, as long as we skinny-dip! :laugh: We can start the Southern Polar Bears Club, and show all those folks up north who jump in the lake on New Year's Day (?) how it's really done!!!

All the weather forecasters in Houston are projecting the precipitation to move right over the top of us, then move out into the Gulf. But what the hell do they really know, anyway? :p I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Oh my goodness, I feel for you. :eek: Is it an inground pool? Having to move a dozen 60 lb sandbags to the shallow end would be enough to make me drain it, haul them out, and refill it... if it's inground I don't think it would be that hard, but with an above ground there's a chance the walls could collapse (that happened to us last year when we put a new liner in -- not a good time). Normally we drain the water down to just below the skimmer and then we unhook the plumbing and bring the pump and the sand filter inside so they don't freeze and crack, but in the past few years we've just kept it running when it's cold. I hope your plumbing's okay with the kind of temperatures you guys are having... :shocked:

Have at it! :laugh: I stuck my hand in the skimmer the other day and that water is like ICE. I've got six dozen cookies and an apple pie when you guys are done... :lol:

For the past week or so they've been saying this cold air from the Gulf is going to come up into southern LA and it might come up as far as the middle of the state, where I am, so here's hoping...

Yeah, it's an inground. I lower the water down past the return jets, which is supposed to keep any damage from freezing to the walls. But, it's now -11 :eek: , and, with no cover on there, well, my finger's are certainly crossed.
I think the plumbing should be okay. I blow out all the lines, and fill them with RV antifreeze. Now, I'm starting to worry more....
Now WHY couldn't all my snow have gone to TX?

Aw.. Homer, I feel really bad for you all down there. I know you were nailed. It's all the news keeps talking about. Where does your aunt live? How many inches did you get? I think I'm at 9 inches right now. And DAMN is it cold or what???

Good luck with the pool... :(

My aunt lives east of Columbus, out towards Greensburg. She said they had drifts 4-5 feet high.
I got somewhere between 16-18 inches. I drive 4wd, and still couldn't get out of my driveway yesterday, thanks to the snowplows clearing the road into my driveway :mad: . It was so high that it was lifting my front tires off the driveway, so I was stuck until I shoveled a 3 foot wall down.
And, it's now -17 here.
Let's hope the rest of the winter isn't this bad.
Not trying to be a downer on Xmas, but this snowstorm has sucked! in my little corner of the world. :xoxo:

[madformac]

Here in the UK it's pretty thick over with snow... This morning it was sunny dry and really pleasant.. The snow hit this afternoon and right now at 19:40pm it's coming down heavy... Fat snow I think it's called! :blob2:

Gonna be fun getting to work tomorrow!! :confused:

It looks really nice white over with the Christmas lights from the houses.... I had dinner at my mother's home this afternoon and her neighbours have a huge inflatable Homer Simpson and enough lights to power a small town!!

Just seen some kids having snowball fights outside bare chested! :eek: Glad I'm nice and warm inside.. :p


:wavey:

[Nixxxed]

Congrats on your snow. Why do you miss it? Are you from a snowy place, but then moved to Texas? :wavey:

I grew up in east Tennessee, and we'd get snow every winter. Not too much -- just enough to enjoy it without getting sick of it. Maybe 7-10 really good "snow days", and then lots of flurries and icicles the rest of the time. :thumbsup:

When I woke up Christmas morn, we ended up with 3-4 inches on the ground, the first time that's happened in the Houston area since 1895. I've never seen so many snowmen in my life (even in Tennessee). Every house we passed on the way to my family gathering at my brother's house had a snowman, and kids either building another one, or pelting each other with snowballs. :D

Thanks again, Ledgies for helping me have a White Christmas! Here are some more pics:

[madformac]

For Pip and anybody else interested here are some pictures I took this morning on my way to work..





:wavey:

[wondergirl9847]

Those are great pics! Most of the snow we got a few days ago was long gone on Christmas, but we drove north about an hour and a half to my grandmother's house and there was a little more snow on the ground. My dad and I had a snowball fight.

[estranged4life]

especially a memory of myself against 3 of my former Tech school members, 2 from Houston & 1 from Oakland and how it looked like a "turkey shoot" cause those Texans/Californian did not realize ya have to pack snow to make a snowball...Man, I slaughtered all 3 of 'em in the parking lot, Their snowballs were like limp wiffle balls and my snowballs were Roger Clemens/Randy Johnson fastballs, I annihilated 'em in a non-mercy killin' snowball spree from hell.

They learned their lesson afterwards about packing to snow to make firm snowballs :lol:

We didn't get snow here in SC--we got an ice storm. And I lost power for almost four hours. Thank God I've got a fireplace but still. . . it does not throw out a whole lot of heat but it's better than nothing, I suppose.

[WelshWitchPMD]

We are getting snow right now in Providence :mad: I don't have anywhere to go now but it will be a pain getting to work tomorrow. Just what I need for a Monday morning. :distress:

Yeah....about that.

I flew into Buffalo last night at oh - around 10:45....about an hour and a half later I was on the road back to Rochester....the baggage claim took a while - but what really screwed me...? The snow.

Luckily I bought a snow brush two weeks ago - so I spent a really long time brushing off my damn car....then using the scraper feature - then trying to use it as a makeshift shovel to get my car out of the parkign spot....I'd left my car in Long term parking at the airport...

The drive home? Oh. My. God. It sucked....there were all sorts of cars in weird positions on the side of the road...luckily I made it home in one piece and with no accidents or loss of control of my car.....

and it's only the beginning....*sigh*

On a side note - it did snow in New Mexico the day before Christmas Eve...haha..just what I wanted back home...:rolleyes:

[SuzeQuze]

I'm so glad you made it through the drive safely! We got slammed in Boston too, I was indoors during most of it snuggled up with my kitty. But there's like 10 inches out there and that makes the city one heck of a mess! It is pretty, but I forgot my camera.

The wind was crazy and making the windows rattle. We get this fierce wind over the water and it was so strong last nite, my cat was like, what the? It was nice to be home though all snuggled up, I was grateful for that.

Pattie, I hope your commute wasn't too bad this morning! I walked in and most of the sidewalks were cleaned off but some weren't so it was a bit treacherous. But nothing like driving, I used to have a 35 mile commute which I do not miss! I feel for those of you who commute.

Oh goody! haha - I hear that rain mixed with all this snow is just an extra special treat to all ;) I am enjoying my first winter so far though - I won't be driving between here and Buffalo much - so driving isn't too big a deal most of the time (I live really near work)....it's the shoveling and brushing off of the car that I'm not so pro on...

IMO, Kokomo and Marion always get the bad stuff. Tornados, huge storms, you name it.

Whenever my part (Marion *county*) gets warnings for stuff, we never get em unless it's just a storm or snow.

I hate this state. -_-

I'm glad you're coping. Snow scares the sh** outta me. I remember sometimes when we got it, my dad's car sliding around....AAAAHHHHHH, WE'RE GONNA DIEEEEEE!!!!!!!! :laugh: Everything in my hometown is on a steep hill and a windey (wine-dee) narrow road, though...

I LOVE driving in this crap, as LONG as there aren't too many other people out.
4wd is the only way to go....

I'm from the South. We don't do ice/snow or any variation thereof. And despite the presence of snow and ice, every joker down here drives like they're rounding the final turn at a NASCAR Speedway. I try to stay off the road when winter weather hits, not because I can't drive in the stuff (I actually do very well in it) but because 99.9% of my fellow South Carolina residents can't!

IMO, Kokomo and Marion always get the bad stuff. Tornados, huge storms, you name it.

Whenever my part (Marion *county*) gets warnings for stuff, we never get em unless it's just a storm or snow.

I hate this state. -_-

You're right about the warnings. We always miss 'em. Except those tornados that hit us this year and in Morgan County. It does seem like north state does get it bad, including Lafayette. But for some reason, it seems like the southern portion gets it too, as far as snow goes.

It's snowing today in the Netherlands, couple days late but I love the sight of it anyway :)
