The Ohio Thread

[2morrow]

Main

 

[dawnboo]

I'm currently living in PA, but was born and raised in the Buckeye State! I grew up in Niles (in the northeast, near Youngstown and Warren). I am a proud BGSU alum - but I'm a little older than the others who've posted so far - I graduated in '85. And, for those of you who are Kent State students, I worked there in 1987-88 as a residence hall director on the main campus in Kent.

My U2 concert history:
December 9, 1984 - Cleveland Music Hall
October 6, 1987 - Municipal Stadium, Cleveland
September 2, 1992 - Veteran's Stadium, Philadelphia
Missed both PopMart and Elevation tours (busy having babies!)
October 16, 2005 - Wachovia Center, Philadelphia
October 22, 2005 - Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh
December 9, 2005 - Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland
And, hopefully, many more in the future!

Ohio newbie here.

^Ooooh, hello! What part of Ohio (if you don't mind my asking...)?

 

[Notabene]

2morrow Don't mind at all I am in a suburb outside of Cleveland, and yourself if it's okay to ask?

 

[2morrow]

I'm at school in Kent (about 30 miles SW of Cleveland).

 

[tanner_sis]

oo more u2 ohioans!!

 

[2morrow]

^Anyone else getting crazy snow today? I woke up to lots of sun, and there was a blizzard an half hour later...it's been snowing all week.

Gotta love our weather...

 

[Serena Vox]

I am an Ohioan as well. It's frickin' cold at the moment. Our weather is just whack.

 

[Notabene]

Got snow and crazy cold temperatures the past few days. I think from what the local news said we are colder than Alaska right now. With windchills of -25 f it's freezing . :::shivers:::

I think it was something like -18 for the windchill when I got up this morning.
Now it's snowing like crazy. We must have at least a couple of inches since it started, which was about 2 and a half hours ago.

 

[2morrow]

It's definitely not fun to walk to class in all that...

Aww hun, that really sucks.
I'd try to find a different way if it were at all possible.
Ohio's weather is probably the most whack out of any place I can think of.

 

[Notabene]

Definaltey agree with you on Ohio's weather being whacked out. It can be crazy at times. I can remember a few years back it was the end of April and we had a snow storm and got a foot of snow.
We are having somewhat of a warm up suppose to get into the teens and possible the 20's maybe by the weekend. time to get out the flip flops and shorts.

 

[Serena Vox]

^ Is it really? It was warm all the way until right after Christmas, well, more like 50's and 60's on a good day, but definitely not frigid. Then boom, it got real cold.
I really hope it warms up, even in the house with the heat on, it's still somewhat chilly indoors.

 

[2morrow]

Oh wow...we got at least 8 inches of snow last night! Snow day!

 

[Serena Vox]

Oh yeah, the snow sucked. XD At least for me it did. I don't go to school, so I had nothing for it to get me out of going to.
I heard it's supposed to get up to the 40's next week. The snow probably won't be on the ground very long.

 

[2morrow]

Typical Ohio weather...blizzards one week and high temps the next week. I hope you're right about the forecast!

 

[Serena Vox]

I'm hoping so too! Whack just doesn't even begin to describe our weather. I mean, come on, it was in the 40's and 50's until like Christmas and even when it did get cold, it didn't go below anything like 20. Then just boom! It starts hitting negative digits and tons of snow!

...snow needs to get a life and leave us alone.

I have been watching the news pretty much every morning with my dad, he's excited because they are saying by like Wednesday or Thursday it's supposed to get up to 42. Let's hope that they're right!

I was born and raised in Columbus/Canal Winchester, although I live in Virginia right now. All my family is still there and I'm planning on moving back once I finish school.

Hi Party

Sorry, but I totally forgot to revisit thread...
Yeah, we were in line--#s 130 & 131 I think. We were bundled up in sleeping bags sitting on chairs and my sister was the one reading about death in the Grand Canyon--I also passed out chocolate chip cookies (homemade!).

Hmmm...maybe I have YOU in some of MY pics!
