The Blizzard

[Lee]

Just wondering if I'm the only Ledgie experiencing the Blizzard of 2010 right now. :eek: Luckily we still have power, but some do not have it, especially those in NJ. There are some in Delaware who have lost it & Maryland. It's really bad. Right now, it's white out conditions. Our governor has declared a state of emergency. And that means no one but emergency personnel should be out on the roads. It's going to take a long time to dig out of this one. I doubt that I'll get to work on Monday. I'd be surprised.

Im in NOVA right now and its crazy..we have almost 30 inches of snow in some places and in DC there is a massive snowball going on right now but many people can't drive because the roads are covered with snow and theres a million accidents. on the news they said that since the storm began almost 3,000 calls have been answered at the police station asking for service. We have a few people having heart attacks and some ppl have actually walked to the hospital (one kid was playing football and he fell and cut his head so he came to get stitches). A church collapsed somewhere in nova and a part of dulles airport caved in or something like that. I have pictures of the snow and ill try to post them later once my phone decides to be nice to me :(

Damn! I was complaining about 5 inches. I know Pennsylvania was nailed as well.

My family has 23 inches and counting at home.

Not to belittle what's goin' on down there, but in Syracuse, where I normally go to school, this is "another day at work." :laugh:

Two feet? ? ? ? Please! . . . . :wavey: . . . ;)

I wish you folks in the snow covered hills the best of luck. And the best of warmth. I worry about all the people freezing without electricty.

[Musicman408]

Good luck to all of you Ledgies affected by this! Please stay safe!!

[mylittledemon]

I remember the blizzard of 1993. :shocked:

[desertangel]

ditto... hope everyone has their ski jackets, propane cook stoves, ice chests, down blanket, candles, flashlights, etc. etc. all ready to go should your electricity go out. I heard there was a run on the grocery stores the other day. Hang in there ya'll!! :wavey:

[chelluversu]

there's another storm coming tomorrow and lasting until wednesday. we are expecting 14 inches on top of the 20 inches we already have :distress: im really looking forward to this one. but i do get school off

Long Island has snow on the way for Tuesday night all the way into Wednesday.

I LOVE this winter but I think maybe we're going to have to let it go. It's just simply not suited for this particular position. There's a youngster named "Spring of 2010" who I believe would be a perfect replacement. I'll be happy to type up a nice Letter of Recommendation but the old man should really pretty much consider this his "three week's notice." ;)

[vivfox]

We've never had more than half an inch of snow all winter. Thank God!

Yeah. It reminds me of that song "Think Twice" by Phil Collins. But don't worry too much, because I think maybe in general; people without electricity can rent a generator, go to a hotel, etc.,; or if they don't have money they can go to a shelter that's been set up by the Red Cross, etc. If they don't have those options, then of course, "that's a concern." I also worry a bit about people that live in extremely rural areas - West Virginia might be an example, in this situation - where these types of things might not be so easily available. But on the positive side, hopefully neighbors will be willing to help each other out - people with oil heating are probably letting their neighbors with electricity stay with them awhile, etc. But yeah, this is definitely a situation where people need to help each other out - because of the fact that it's literally life-or-death. (And I'd also like to add that it's not such a bad time to be checking on the elderly, sick people, etc.)

I wanna know when Massachusetts is getting this snow LOL

[DefDumbandBlond]

No definitely not the only one, two weekends ago we got over a foot here in Virginia, and last weekend it snowed a bit more but it wasn't as bad as the weekend before! My yard is like an ice rink now though because before it started snowing the past weekend it rained a TON so now it's all frozen over. :eek:

I can't imagine. I just stood up to measure where that would be on me. We got hit again this morning. Maybe 2 inches.... it's enough for me. I'm guessing we have no more than 7 on the ground. They weren talking another 5-8 today, but they're always telling us we're gonna get more than we do. They said it was gonna snow all day, but it's already stopped. Going to check the radar now so I can see where it's at.

Be careful out there.

i have been snowed in since friday and i have no idea when the city will ever send a plow to our street. its ridiculous. i am glad to have off of work but its annoying that i have to walk through 2 feet of snow to get down to the main street. craziness!!! we are suppossed to get another 4-8 inches of snow starting today into tomorrow. what a mess!!

[LikeAWillow]

We might be getting some tomorrow night. Have any classes on Thursday that you want to see cancelled? :)

[Lee]

Well, we just had another blizzard on Wednesday & I'm SICK OF THIS NOW!!! I GIVE UP!! :mad: I hate winter anyway & I really hate snow. It's windy here now & now the snow is drifting. I think we got another foot! I don't have a four wheel drive vehicle & neither does my husband, our development is half plowed & we live off a back road & that's half plowed. I've worked a total of five hours this week & am going to half to use my vacation time, time I'd rather be using for the summer. And more snow is heading our way for Monday into Tuesday & they don't know how much, but whatever we get is too much.

OK, I'm done venting now.

4 days of school of from this - I haven't gone in since last friday, they already called a 2 hour delay for us for tomorrow, thing that sucks is we gotta make them all up, gotta go to school on MLK day ha

[cristochango]

^ presidents day, sorry :)

[FMlex]

I thought I lived in Texas for a reason.

I'm so sick of all this snow we're getting down here!!

[skcin]

Buffalo only got like 2 inches this time around. :laugh: Bite me, bitches.


I'm just kidding, I hope everyone's OK. I've been through horrible snowstorms several times & it's really no fun after the first day or so. Stay warm & stay safe!

[kak125]

i finally saw plows yesterday on my street so that was good news but they were a little late since we already shoveled our entire street. my back was sore for days but it was one hell of a workout though. its been over 6 days since my gram has had electricity so i really feel for her and the guy she lives with. they wont leave their house though so what are you gonna do. i heard more snow on monday so that is not good but it was nice having off work for most of the week.

[ButterCookie]

can we have some in the UK please? :(

[StreetAngel95]

haha here in New Jersey we just got about 2 feet! I had school Monday and Tuesday and i've been off Wednesday and Thursday...and then PRESDENTS DAY WEEKEND I'm OFF UNTIL TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!

[holidayroad]

Here in Alabama, it doesn't snow often. We're supposed to get maybe an inch today, but the way everyone talks, you'd think it was the end of the world. I used to live farther north and we would have laugh at the idea of an inch of snow being a big deal!!

[iamnotafraid]

Snow in Dixie!?!?!?
What do we do?
