Oh, and here's a couple of "out the front door" pics - my sister's Cavalier is in the foreground, she's staying here because she doesn't want to ride the storm out alone. That hedge out by the road is a 6' hedge, to give you an idea of how much snow is in my yard.

And finally, an "out the back door" pic. The way my house is situated, any time we get a "Nor-easter" all of the snow blows off the roof and onto my patio and into the back yard. That little bit of fence you can see toward the middle (at the bottom of the stairs) is a 5' fence! The one in the background is an 7-footer, built that high to keep the dog in the yard after he got away during last year's blizzard. He didn't get far, mind you (he couldn't run very fast in six foot deep snow)

We only got a dusting hear, but the road were extremely icy b/c of all the frozen rain. Earlier in the week we got hit by a small amount of frozen rain and I sat in traffic for about 6hrs, a trip that usually would take me 45min.

heh heh, snow. Its been raining here for the last week almost all the snow is gone, my driveway is completely clear and the roads are a sheet of ice (there was actually a pic in the paper of kids playing ice hockey on the street) and we had a high of +9 C today, its supposed to go back down this week to highs of -3. After a week and a half of -30 C I think I can deal with that :p

Y'all are lucky! I love the snow, but it rarely ever snows here. :shakehead

We can go several years between snowfalls, and when it does snow, it usually just melts when it hits the ground. For the snow to stay around awhile is a very special event. This past Christmas Eve, it snowed enough to accumulate about 1-2 inches, but was all gone by noon on Christmas day.

Lucky? LUCKY?!?!?!? You wanna come shovel my driveway??? A bit of snow is alright, but this will make it four feet in seven days! We've already doubled our normal January snowfall and January ain't over yet! Then we have February, March and April. Gimme Texas weather any day!

It is funny, though, that you had a white Christmas and we didn't (we paid for it with 50cm (20") of snow on BOxing day though)

Yeah, I was being funny!  :grinno:  I realize you can have "too much of a good thing."

It got "cold" here last night - all the way down into the 30s. The last weather report I heard today said that the temp. should get back up into the 60s tomorrow, though!

I guess I'm glad that I don't have to worry about blizzards like you guys...but I did have to mow my yard a few days ago. It never "stops" growing...it just "slows down."  :giggle:

How's your car doing in it?  The Mustang aint too bad,  Likes to go sideways,  But at least I can control it when it gets wild on me.  Everyone keeps telling me I need FWD for delivering!  I've already put one of them into a telephone pole this year,  don't need another!  LOL!
