Status: offline 		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.)

Not me. After twenty years in PA I saw enough snow for several lifetimes. Snow is very pretty but so are lions at a safe distance. I don't want either out in my front yard.

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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.
