IO: First Snow Day of the Year

[U2Mama]

Well the kids are excited because we woke up to several inches of snow resulting in a Snow Day! They slept with their pj's inside out and spoons under their pillows--it worked! No school today!!

:envy:

This thread needs pictures.

Snow days are awesome. Sofar from what I can remember, we had a grand ONE snow day in all the years I went to school. One day we'll be snowed in, one day!

 

[U2Mama]

I'll try to post pictures later--it's still coming down pretty heavy! We probably have 5 inches already. It will be a white Christmas for sure!

 

[gvox]

Fuck snow. I hate snow.

Bah Humbug!!

 

[Lemonchick]

I don't have to leave the house today.

 

[Galeongirl]

Fuck snow. I hate snow.

Bah Humbug!!

Let me guess, the snow should be burned at the stake as well?



Grouch. Snow's awesome!

 

[Screwtape2]

We got around 10 inches here yesterday. The bitter cold tomorrow might make it three straight snow days this week. All those school kids are so lucky.

 

[LemonMelon]

The past week has been ridiculous. I'd venture to guess...mmm...maybe 7-8 inches of snow in that time frame, which probably puts us above last year's seasonal total already.

And yet, not ONE snow day.

Is that supposed to make it snow? :clueless: Never heard of that before! What's the significance?

I have no idea--just one of those "old wives tale" superstitions I guess. The Principal actually made an announcement at the end of the day yesterday reminding kids to do this!

We got about 8 inches today! Snow day!!

Makes me feel like a little kid again. Goin' down the hill with my sled.

 

[partygirl43]

Wow...glad Ohio dodged that storm....we do however at 45+ mph winds and many tree limbs down and power outages.

Wow. I want that!

i haven't seen snow in 19 years.

i'm 19 years old.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I saw snow once, in a building. Seemed pretty nice.

 

[U2Mama]

It looks like we got about 9 inches--and it's not even Winter yet! We won't see the ground again until late March if we are lucky. I'd gladly share all this white stuff with those of you who want it--I'm sick of it already!

Seconded.

Bah Humbug!!

This. SO much of this.



We only have a light dusting here, but several area roads are closed because of accidents due to black ice. I was supposed to drive up to KW today, but they're in the midst of giant snow squalls off of Georgian Bay. Nice.



Just read that Orillia/Southern Muskoka could get 80 cm by tonight. That's about 32 inches. Crazy.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I like snow just I like Las Vegas; I can only take three days of it.

 

[RedRocksU2]

GG2 is right (for once) we need pics.

I am so smacking you facedown in the snow. If we ever get some.

So, the trip I avoided yesterday, I had to take today. It's still friggin cold and windy here, but no snow to speak of. The place I had to go is an hour north of me. Got to 20 minutes north, and there was a little snow accumulated, blowing, whiteouts. The closer I got to my destination, the worse it got, till I was in blizzard conditions, heavy snow, about 10 - 12 inches of accumulation, treacherous roads, numerous accidents and cars in ditches. I got stuck in the driveway of the place I was at, and finally got out with much help. I was wet and cold, and I'm still freezing. What should have been a 2 1/2 hour trip took me 5 hours.

What kind of fuckery is this?? :shivers: Can it be spring now?

 

[blueeyedgirl]

It will be 39 degrees here Wednesday. Celcius. Wanna come?

Really? 'Bout time.

Though I think I would like to visit it for a few hours. Then come home.
I don't live where it snows.


And for VP

Can I still visit for the winter? Is that invitation still open?

The temps have gotten more normal here. It rained today. We're supposed to be warmer and have rain for the next few days, so the snow that's in KW (where Sarah's going to school) will probably be gone.

But it'll be back. Oh yes, it will.

 

[Thora]

It snowed today. It wasn't much, but any amount is too much, in my opinion. Thankfully it's supposed to turn to rain by Tuesday, but that's not soon enough for me.

Ok I'm tryin to figure out what KW stands for--I know it can't be Key West....although it sounds like you wouldn't mind if it did!

We had freezing rain last night, but warmer temps today--hopefully no more snow this week...but you never know!
