Well good luck to all you guys out there that are going to get hit... If any of you want to move, you could come here. We have only gotten 20" all year so far... This has been a very mild winter here for snow, sure it has been cold, but not much snow to move...
Any way good luck to all of you and take care to be safe... Rich
 
We got lucky here they were calling for 18-24" and we got about 10". 30 miles South got 38" and about 30-40 miles S-West of us Summerset PA got 35.5" And we never got the high winds
 
Got about 20" here. Hard to tell with all the drift.

Yup I walk my cat cause there's a stray around he gets in fights with. He's pretty good with it now.

I like your garage pick Driller. I'm about to see how the shop roll up door looks in a couple minutes. The regular door won't open. :)
 
I haven't been at the house since about noon on Fri but in Bowling green where I work they had 10ish inches. The city is still paralyzed. We were still sending people out to give co workers rides just so they could get to work yesterday and business was nearly nonexistent. Interested in seeing what today brings, especially since they called off school already on Sat........
 
We ended up with 16 inches which seems pretty minor...here's the picture of the car after I shoveled us out. Can see it was up to about the trim line.

fun fun

Spent the last three days driving in this and of course all my runs sent me either to the city or the island. Just an example of what a dock looks like in brooklyn off linden boulevard. That dock drops down a good four feet by the building and has ramps that raise the trailer up to meet the dock plate. The overhangs are not a true measure of how much snow fell due to the high winds they got blowing most of it into big snow dunes. Thank god for interlock!!

Great part of living in the south. 10-11 inches reported in the area of my house on Friday. Pretty much completely melted by Tues. too bad the locals still can't figure out what to do inbetween
 
Sorry to hear that you guys had got that much snow.

Get this: I'm 37, and this is a first for me.....rain today, in January. RAIN. I suppose it's probably rained a small bit in some years past, but if it did, it would have turned to sleet/ wet snow very quickly in a manner where it wouldn't stay in a rain state for long enough to be noticeable. I live in Winnipeg, with punishing winters of -30 to -40. Google our deep freeze last week (which is what it is like for most of January--every January) and then scratch your head as to why we'd got several hours of rain.

When I left for work this morning, not even a block away, there was an accident because of several inches of snow and some very mushy and slippery roads. It was treacherous. The radio traffic advisory had mentioned numerous cars in the ditch, major roads being backed up, and of course, I'd seen a big accident with my very own eyes.

I drove no faster than 40 km/ hr to work, and by the time I left work, the roads were clear from snow melting in a very warm temperature, and the rain cleared the rest of the snow and I was going 60 km/hr (the speed limit) without any real hesitation or concern at all. No traffic back ups, no accidents that i'd seen.....nothing. It was like two different days of weather crammed into less than 8 hours. I can't remember anything like it.

We'd got someone else's weather, and they had got ours. Normally, we have much more snow than we do this year.

WOW...... Welcome to Cleveland...... you just described late November to mid March......BUT..... I'm glad we don't get -crazy like you have, OR 2Xnuts amounts of snow on a regular basis

Suppose to be warm here today through Saturday, mild on sunday. But the models are predicting anywhere from 10 to 15" of snow starting Monday and going into Tuesday

Ken
 
been crazy around here as well

one day it is below zero the next few days we see 30, then it snows but only a little at a time. We have had snow of some kind every day for a week now. The next few days we are going to get some rain and the temps will be mid 40's or so. BUT Tuesday to wed we are in line for 8 to 10 or something like that... Oh well no worries here, just lock in the front end and go to work making money from all that "white gold" that is going to fall again....Rich
 
anoth round is coming..

They are talking about a big storm coming the first part of the week. They are saying it looks to be 12=" of the white stuff that is on the way... Oh well that will keep me working for the rest of the week...lol...Rich
 
We had a few flakes last night. Not even enough to cover the grass. In Toronto/Mississauga. Last year at this time the pile beside my driveway was over 6' high. We live in interesting times.

January is usually a time where honestly, the homeless people here I truly worry about. When you get weather like ours, any living being outside (or animals) runs the risk of severe frostbite within minutes, and being outside with exposure for too long could mean death. I went to my outdoor storage place last week to try to get my EEC code two weeks ago, and even wearing winter gloves inside the car, I had about five minutes before I had to ball my hands up inside the gloves to try to regain some warmth as I struggled upside down (doors closed) and essentially diagonal with my legs up above and resting on the headrest. Changing sockets was a chore, as well, because you just had no time to waste.

No joke: a fellow co-worker saw a rainbow, and others that I'd talked to said they saw it, as well. If you said that we'd see a rainbow in January here before this year started, I'd tell you that's a snowball's chance in hell. :eek: :D
