Wuck You, Finter!!!! Reply #62 – March 03, 2015, 01:13:16 AM Apparently we got 7 inches in Chicago a few days ago. I'm crossing my fingers it and the other 8-10 inches of ice glacier are gone by the time I get home. I'm hoping the weather in Hawaii follows me home. Quote Selected
Wuck You, Finter!!!! Reply #63 – March 03, 2015, 07:47:44 AM The cold followed my wife to Hawaii this summer. While she was there with the kids, it was the only time in 2014 it went above 90 here. Quote Selected

We've got some kind of weather alert this morning...freezing rain or some shiznit.I've got to go pick my Mountaineer up from the shop here in a bit, had an exhaust leak fixed, and got it safety inspected for a license plate renewal.

I've only really got from mid May to mid September to get good weather.Quote from: ThunderbirdSport302;445515Sorry Lou...more headed for the Windy City.

Wuck You, Finter!!!! Reply #67 – March 04, 2015, 07:48:26 PM Snows all melted already. We had between 4 and 6" total. Gonna be 48 tomorrow and 60's by the weekend. Quote Selected
Wuck You, Finter!!!! Reply #68 – March 04, 2015, 10:50:17 PM Our's all melted thanks to all the rain. But now we have flooding all over the place and the snow has started. It really coming down too! They're calling for 6 -10" and I think we'll get it. Quote Selected
Wuck You, Finter!!!! Reply #69 – March 05, 2015, 01:01:20 AM Calling for another 4-8" here throughout the day.....Uugggggggghhhhh Quote Selected
Wuck You, Finter!!!! Reply #71 – March 05, 2015, 01:32:32 PM One of the best things about living in the south, especially South Carolina... we might get a little snow every year. Just a couple of weeks ago, the forecast was supposed to be 4-8" and one station calling for 5-10". Basically, anytime there's even a hint of snow/ice/sleet/freezing rain, a lot of places close. Schools here closed the day before it was supposed to hit and there wasn't anything on the ground and were closed one to two days after, following up with two hour delays in the days after those. People go nuts here running to get the milk and bread. I was hugely skeptical because we've been duped plenty of times before. We might have gotten 3" in some places, but it wasn't what they called for originally, which I figured would happen. Our governor, Nikki Haley, called for a state of emergency prior to the "snowmageddon". SMH I was really looking forward to seeing a big snow because I've lived here all of my life and haven't seen a really big one ever. Whenever any threat of wintry precipitation hits, it's a given most everything will close or be on a two-hour delay. Life is good here! Quote Selected
Wuck You, Finter!!!! Reply #72 – March 05, 2015, 02:24:56 PM I was just in South Carolina last week, near Myrtle Beach. They were calling for a little freezing rain, and they said on TV "All county schools are closed", hehe. Up north they list them individually. It was weird to hear a place cancel them all at once. We also went to "broadway at the beach" (a big outdoor shopping complex), and it was also entirely closed except for one restaurant. Wow, heh. I am from Ohio, and no stores ever close on account of the weather here. Quote Selected

TRUST ME.It gets old fast, especially when you're running out of places to shovel it off to/plow it.More snow than forecasted and still coming down hard..... Supposed to go for a few more hours...

Wuck You, Finter!!!! Reply #74 – March 05, 2015, 05:48:51 PM Flew out of Kona, HI at 6 pm Chicago time yesterday. It was about 80* when I left. Landed at O'Hare around 6 this morning (had a two hour layover at LAX). It was 7*. Bit of a shock to the system. Spring can't get here soon enough.... Quote Selected
