so there's supposed to be this big bad blizzard...

[metmagic]

that's all anyone can talk about today!

we'll see.......



if it really does happen, i'm thinkin of gettin me a sled (saw one in one of the hardware stores in my neighborhood) and goin' to the park and playing in the snow :D

hmm i like the sound of that....now i want a blizzard! :jump:

[imgreat95]

oh... its DEFINITELY coming...

[rockin500]

its definitely HERE. I've already shoveled twice since 9pm last night. We've gotten about 9 inches so far here with another 3 to 6 inches expected

[rockin500]

BTW, drifts are up to my waist already. :sigh:

[Baseball Guru]

Think I'll get any snow down here?

;)

[metsfan001]

I cannot WAIT for this!!

Is there a chance that school will be cancelled?

[Panzram]

Bad snow storm here in Michigan.

[Blue56]

It's been snowing here all day so far.

[metmagic]

well, it just started now and it seems pretty light....

[imgreat95]

haha.. just you wait, Cyn... It started light here at around 4am... and now, i cant even see anything that resembles a road...

[~*TiGeRs f@N*~]

already got a foot here and more to come

[Nanner]

WOOHOOOO!!!! BLIZZARD!!!

:jump: :cheer:

It looks pretty cool from the 23rd floor in Midtown Manhattan!!! Right now I can barely see the buildings across the way on Sixth Ave.

I just came in from outside. The store was mobbed!!! :eek: People stocking up, I guess. Usually I call the local weather people alarmists....... (sorry, BP :D )...... but I think they're right with this one.

Can't wait to see Central Park afterwards!!!

Cyn, that's a cool idea - getting a sled! Wheee!!! :jump:

(I guess I can be this excited because I don't have a car and don't have to deal with driving in it, or shovelling driveways and sidewalks. :D )

[metmagic]

haha.. just you wait, Cyn... It started light here at around 4am... and now, i cant even see anything that resembles a road...

really? wow....

it's just been awhile since we've had a GOOD blizzard around here... i've never played in the park before so i'm kinda excited :D

[rockin500]

its STILL snowing here. since 7pm last night, 18 hours later its STILL snowing. :angry:

there goes my plans to go to milwaukee today as i was supposed to visit my fraternity for a night of solid drinking (and initiating). white out conditions.

13 inches so far which is probably in the top ten worst storms ever here.

see Nan, this is why I wish we lived near each other!!! :rotf: we could go sledding lol! :clap:

uh oh i better hit the stores NOW before they're closed!

[rockin500]

of course, its not helping that the wind is blowing at 30-35 mph. This just sucks. ahhhh well, at least i have some booze here at home. :)

[Nanner]

see Nan, this is why I wish we lived near each other!!! :rotf: we could go sledding lol! :clap:



WOULDN'T THAT BE FUN!!!!??? Wow. Can't see anything across the way now. :eek: This is a big one!! :eek:

[rockin500]

WOULDN'T THAT BE FUN!!!!??? Wow. Can't see anything across the way now. :eek: This is a big one!! :eek:
you think? we're probably going to end up near 15 or 16". not bad for a storm that they had said 36 hours ago was only going to dump 1 to 3" :angry:

[rockin500]

ugh. time to go back out and shovel both our yard and my grandmas. and of course the snowblowers arent working all that well on this stuff. :sigh:

back surgery here i come. :hmm:

[Nymet31]

Snow coming down pretty well out here on the Island. There calling for 1-2 feet of snow out of this one.

[rockin500]

well, it FINALLY ended. at 3pm, 20 hours after it started.

though we may still get some off of the lake.

[Rockin Robin]

It started lightly here about 12:30, and the intensity has been increasing steadily since then. Every weatherman I heard was predicting 2-3 inches an hour after 7 pm or so, with total accumulations of 14-24 inches. Every single one said the same thing, within an inch or hour of each other.

I live off a dead end street. Of course that's an absolute priority of the county. :hmm: Then it sometimes takes 2 days or so for my super to get the plow truck in to do our parking lot. So it's highly likely I won't be shovelled out for a while. And Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are my month end rush at work. Oh well. :D

[BPBlueSox]

There's a reason why every weatherman said just about the same thing. All of those media folks just repeat what the National Weather Service puts out pretty much. :)

[Chisox73]

I'm still geting close to whiteout conditions here in NW Indiana.It's all that lake effect stuff.

I gave up shoveling after 3 o'clock. :angry:

[metmagic]

I GOT A SLED!!! :banana: oooooh she's a beauty!! :D it's a bright yellow psychedilic-looking plastic racer sled and i can't WAIT to try her out tomorrow in the park :thumbsup: TONS of snow in brooklyn!!!


nan, it looks like my RUNNING class is still on for tomorrow!! :eek: :clap: that's just CRAZY! but my instructors are all nuts! LOVE 'em!!

[Sheafaithful]

I am so happy inside and that is where I'm staying. :thumbsup:

4 years of the white stuff in Oswego was enough for me....

I swear I was destined to live in California,Florida, someplace warm and snowless.

Give me sunshine and warmth and blue skies. :sun:

[rockin500]

I'm sick of snow. :( I'll join ya wherever kat!

[Chisox73]

If I hd a sled,I would probably drive up to Soldier Field and get on the sledding hill they have by the stadium. :D

[Rockin Robin]

Have an awesome time, Cyn!! Just don't forget your three hats, earmuffs, six scarves, nine shirts, and four pairs of socks! Be careful out there and stay warm.

Thanks for the technical explanation!

WOOHOO!! Your sled sounds fab!! :jump: :jump:

Runners are nuts..... yes, indeed. :D They're now saying that the main blizzard is going to hit in the middle of the night. :eek: And the snow will probably end early afternoon. So, when I get back from church, I might go for a run.


:D

Have fun sledding! (And running!)

[metmagic]

WHAT???? you mean there's MORE????? :eek: uh oh.... i hope they don't cancel our running class...i'll be so bummed :(

at least i can go sledding in the park :D

[rockin500]

haha, no more of that crap for us. :)
