Oh come on. a few inches of snow and everyone freaks out. this is nothing. recall the blizzard of the century? then the following year- every Wednesday 2-3 feet of snow. it will all melt in due time. :-)

I've been in the nursing home in MD caring for my elderly lady since Friday at noon. At 2am this morning, the power went out. They have a backup generator, but it doesn't power anything in the residents' rooms, such as light & heat. The power was just restored a little bit ago. Granny & I made it through relatively unscathed by sitting in the middle of the building away from all the windows & doors & bundling up. The snow is gorgeous!!!!!

Thank you so much! I can't wait to try it!

I'm also seriously snowed in. Where I am in Northern VA, we have 3 feet of snow, maybe a touch more. I hate snow. I'm hoping that people stay off the roads unless it's critical. I've heard sirens off and on all day and night. (Oh, and hunky, I hardly call 3 feet or, where my kids are this weekend, 40" of snow, a "few" inches that will just melt away. People die in bad weather of any sort when they lose power, etc.)

We were plowed and shovled out by now; but there are around 2000 people without power in SW Ohio. personally, it doesn't bother me- I'm from the Great Plains, where snow is a way of life. At least we didn't get sleet with it this time.

How is everyone doing? I did not take one step out of my house yesterday. Definitely getting out for a while today. Thinking about making some chili........

We had 11" last week. The problem wasnt the snow, it was the 1 1/2" of solid ice underneath the snow. The road outside our house was closed for most of a day one day and Fox and I both had to call into work for the majority of the weekend. I got in a wreck on the hill outside right before they closed it. Out here, the snow isnt much of a challenge, they can handle that. The ice, from the early sleet that freezes under the snow is our headache. I think, though, that other than the occasional flurry we are done with that mess. DV

KatyLied -> RE: Seriously Snowed In (2/7/2010 7:57:32 AM)
Oh no, DV, how bad was the wreck? You are not injured, and okay, yes?

windchymes -> RE: Seriously Snowed In (2/7/2010 9:06:04 AM)
Man, what a job....I just dug my car out, about 3 feet of PLOWED snow piled up behind it. Not to mention the foot that was piled up on top of it......which kept melting into mini-avalanches and tumbling down onto the space I just shovelled! Arrrrggghhhhhh! lol I feel a ridiculous sense of exhausted accomplishment, however, though I'm dreading how sore and stiff I'm going to be tomorrow. I'm going to make an Advil meatloaf for dinner.
