OT: Snow, snow go away...
Keane
saying 8-12 inches, between 9pm tonight to noon Friday...
If we wish hard enough... And believe strong enough...
Maybe Tink will fly high over this city of Chicago and dump enough
pixie dust that it'll make the snow go away and not break my back
for the weekend.
Keane, who knows it snows in winter... Really, he does... Sorry
for the whine...

a half to an inch of snow. It's not much to you in Chicago but it's
crazy time here! We have NO snow removal equipment. Some schools are
already closing early or totally closed for tomorrow. This morning the
school districts had mechanics working on getting the buses started.
After the snow, it gets brutally cold again. At least I am NOT at WDW
where I paid big bucks and am freezing. We have been there, done that!
It will get better, eventually.... Lisa

We've been pretty lucky -- not much snow here at all (Southern Ontario). A
bit of freezing rain but it's melted already. Just a few flakes coming down
right now. I'm hoping we don't get much snow -- my poor puppy won't be able
to play in the yard if the snow is deeper than he is tall!

Feeling your pain in Milwaukee. It's been coming down slow but steady
since well before I got up this morning. Probably have 3 inches
already, they're calling for 8-10 before the day is done...getting to
class tonight is going to be super fun :)

So, some on down.
We're only getting an inch and the Varsity is guaranteed to stay open!

We just came back from retrieving our son early from school in Sandy
Springs. Didn't want to risk the traffic jam that will most likely happen
later this afternoon! And I'm sure the supermarkets are overrun with
Atlantans stocking up for the snow LOL!

Here in the Bay Area, never mind how long winter might last, we
would just be happy if it would *start*. The forecast for the next
week shows temps in the 60s and no sign of rain. :-(

And bread. Yup. Glad I'm not the only one who's heard of that term. We have
those people even here in northern NY, at least for the first few storms of
the season. Then they switch over to Campbell's and Coors to survive the
weekly Storm Of The Century.

Gee, I guess I shouldn't mention that it's sunny and almost 80 here in
San Diego today...

Oh Laura, that's just cruel!
Yesterday was the longest day ever - never thought we'd get home!
Nothing was moving. Today was a smidge better, but we're still all
pretty buried. We pretty much had to cross our fingers that the car
would make it up our driveway, and safely into the garage. (It did.)
We *so* need a snowblower.

Bummer! Sorry you have to work Sunday. I'm now in for the weekend, and
don't plan to venture out again until Monday morning. Not much to look
forward to for the next week, though. Single-digit lows early in the
week, eventually reaching highs in the low 30's by mid-week... which
will bring yet more snow. I don't know how many inches we have, but
it's a lot for us. (Somewhere between ankle and mid-calf deep, not
counting bigger drifts. Nowhere near your 12 inches, I'm sure, but
still a lot.)

Just a hop south of you, here in StL we only got a couple inches of
snow, but the temps and wind chill are very similar. And my mini-van
has no heat.
Thank the Great Maker I am also a Doctor Who fan, and have a Tom Baker

couple accent stripe of gold near each end).

MidAtlantic region it's toilet paper and milk. And I kid you not, last
huge snow storm, my coworker said she had to go to the store because she
was out of toilet paper and milk. I tried to go to the grocery myself
just for a luxury item or two, and there were so many cars people were
parked on the grass trying to get in. Insane.

Many many years ago, my mom knitted one of those for my brother when he was
a Doctor Who watcher. He still has it!

In Rhode Island, it's bread and milk. Suggest that it's going to snow
and you can't get any bread and milk there's such a rush! (I think
this comes from the blizzard of '78 when Newport was literally cut off
from the mainland for several days! - I was in NYC at the time.)

Uh oh...that implies that getting DOWN the driveway can be challenging,
too, with your car perhaps going somewhere you don't want it to go. :-(
I hope you're not having to deal with ice now!

It's good to know you're alive and well in San Diego.

Fortunately, we really haven't had much ice this time - just a lot of
snow that isn't melting. And we live in the sticks, so even if it's bad,
our biggest concern is whether or not we can make it out of the
driveway. The worst that's ever happened is getting stuck, or sliding
onto our neighbor's lawn - no damage done.
Looks like it should start warming up in another day or two (but I'd
still rather be in San Diego).
