So...

[orphans]

My car is buried in snow at work :D..... wish me luck getting home?

[Enigmatic Immortal]

that sucks! in cali, we have no such thing....

[Elrundir]

Good luck! I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow myself. We're supposed to get quite the beating tonight. Then again, it hasn't started yet, so...

ya xD..... made it home but... I lost my gloves at work so that makes me sad face.

Apparently, tomorrow in my area, we get... snow with sleet and freezing rain. Sweet..... I get to drive in that xD....

[Hysteria]

Ouch.

To see snow where I am, you have to drive up a mountain, and even then only in winter >.>

[Atzar]

When I don't have to drive or shovel, snow is awesome. Got me out of classes today and will likely do it again tomorrow. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend', I guess.

[Jasmine]

feh... snow... we got like 5 inches last night.... no special closures for me >.<

[Elrundir]

And here in Toronto, where we need basically eighteen feet of snow for businesses and schools to even consider closing, we got the equivalent of a light dusting. The Weather Network reports in my area have gone from a 100% chance of 20-30 cm last night to a 30% chance of 1-3 cm today.

In other words: weathermen, please go DIAF.

Chicago got hit pretty hard, around 20-24 inches, most cars are buried to about the base of the windows. The highway along the lake front got really pounded, tons of people were stranded in their cars for hours. But other than that, we're good, we're used to this stuff and everything will be back to normal by tomorrow.

It only missed you by a couple hundred km. There are drifts everywhere I look outside. And it's still comin down.

[Wynken]

Not a lot of snow in the Cleveland area, surprisingly. My driveway is coated in a 2 inch thick sheet of ice, though.

Oh, it missed us by far less than that. The suburbs of Toronto got pounded with snow but downtown got almost nothing. :p Anyway, we had a pretty good snowfall just now, but I wouldn't say more than a couple of inches from the looks of it. There go my hopes of leaving early. :(

[Jasmine]

bah...tisn't fair! i actually want a good snowfall.. but we haven't gotten much at all this winter. i think on average there's about 2 feet on the ground where I live :(

[Jack Frost]

It's snowmageddon in Dallas Texas. Two inches of snow! Oh god the horror! I've had two days off of school and a third tomorrow. I'll probably have Friday off too.
Thank god for salt trucks being too corrosive on our roads so the city refuses to pay for them!

[Elrundir]

lol, my co-worker showed me pictures of her cousin's house somewhere in Texas. I don't know exactly where it was, but there was a light dusting of snow (it couldn't have been more than an inch, and maybe not even that) and she was telling me how they were all literally freaking out and had no idea what to do. XD

[Jack Frost]

Yep.
Texas is going through hell.

[Jasmine]

if i were there, i would so totally be laughing my butt off at everyone freaking out. admittedly that would be because I'm an Alaskan and therefore 2" of snow means nothing. I don't even change my shoes for boots for a piffling 2" :p

Admittedly, if you lived there, you *might* be freaking out. Places that get snow on a regular basis plan for it -- and 2 inches is more than you think, IF your city's infrastructure isn't equipped to handle it. So if you lived there, you *might* find the roads a bit more difficult to traverse, for instance -- even if only because you're used to streets that are plowed promptly in whatever snow-prone region you live in.

Having lived in both snow- and non-snow prone regions, I have a little sympathy for the South in these instances. It's amusing to think of people freaking out over two inches, but that's because we in the snowlands take for granted the extent to which our city governments keep things running when the going gets rough -- and the extent to which we, in our personal lives, take steps to prepare. I can promise you, no one in Dallas thinks it's a household essential to own a snow shovel, and 99% of the time, they're correct.

[Jasmine]

I have lived in Texas before (and if I have my way, I'll never live in the South again).

Where I live the city policy is not to begin plowing until the snow has stopped or it's snowed more than like a foot or two in one storm. So quite often, the roads are absolutely horrible and it seems that people that have been here most of their lives forget how to drive. However, I still find it vastly amusing to watch/listen to people in my own state freak out over getting half a foot of snow overnight, even though they should expect it.

And you're right, when the most snow you've seen in your life has been on TV (which is true for many life-long Texans cause that's just the way the state is) 2 inches seems like a lot. I just still find it incredibly amusing at the level at which people freak out over snow.

I was going to make a smarty-pants/kinda mean comment about snow shovels, but I think I shall keep it to myself afterall. :p

[Jack Frost]

Well we just got another half a foot last night...
horay...
I guess. I'm starting to get sick of this stuff, I mean really, this is ridiculous.

that is so not stinking fair... i actually want that much snow.. but it's currently 32* and sunny here in anchorage... which means it's rather warm (relatively speaking) :( I WANT SNOW DANG IT ALL!!!

[Jack Frost]

TAKE IT DAMNIT!
I've been trapped at home for 4 god damn days! I will be stuck for another two now, and I was so bored I wanted to gouge my eyes out and eat them.

[Sighter Tnailog]

How are you bored when you have the internet.

[Jack Frost]

I just was. But now the snows gone, thanks for taking it all Jas!
