I made it to work just fine. We only got an inch or so. But it's still snowing. I'm hoping for a quiet day. Pipe dream I know. 

How is everyone out east? Did you get as much as they said you would?

stay safe all!

It started over and hour ago, very light, but picking up. They upped the prediction and I am in the 12-18" band.

Can you share, IKWTDS? We got some flurries but otherwise just a light rain.

It started snowing last night about 9. I really thought it was over, but it's snowing like crazy out there. Hope it slows down before I have to go pick up lunch

We had a thunderstorm roll through around 9 last night.

This morning at 7 the bottom fell out and we got a very heavy rain for about 20 minutes.

Then the clouds parted and we dropped from 55 to 36 in 30 minutes.

It's partly cloudy and holding at 36.

Holy moly it's coming down so hard I can't see the end of my driveway just 20 ft away. Snow is a lot of fun when you can watch it from home all nice and cozy. DH had to go in but I'm hoping they send him home soon. Otherwise he might just be sleeping at the warehouse.

Yes, the weather forcasters were pretty accurate about the timing of the snow and how much we would get. We got about 5 inches.

I am working from home today.

We only got about 3". The sun is gtrying to come out but so are the winds.

DH is home today too. His commute is about 60 miles one way and he did not want to deal with it.

so the snow is starting to really pile up and the wind is really blowing so hard to tell how much I have so far. One of my neighbors is already snowblowing but that is futile as the snow is drifting. This is one of those storms I wait to the end of it or until the wind calms down to snow blow. I feel a snow day tomorrow coming on!

I'm home. Jojo is sick. No fever or anything, but she wasn't feeling well, fell asleep at school, I picked her up, and she went right back to sleep the minute we got home.

Poor baby! The school called me today to say #2 bumped his head on someones knee in PE. He was okay, but with even slight head injuries, parents need to be called. I always get a moment of panic when I see the school phone number appear on my caller I.D.

Yes. I was in Athens and started rushing back to get her. Got pulled over, but I was honest and told the cop why I was speeding and apologized. He gave me a warning and let me go.

Just finished the first round of snow blowing, tough snow.  8" so far and isn't going to quit for another 5 hours.  sigh...

 It has to be sincere.  They can tell when you are just trying to suck up.

Hope Jojo feels better fast.

Glad #2 wasn't hurt.

And that sinking gut feeling never goes away.

I think I picked up a bug at the ER the other night.

I'm freezing and have a gross stomach.

Just did the second pass of snow blowing. It is cold. 15 degrees and the wind is blowing. Grrr but I have to say that I am proud of DD, she gets out there and shovels where the snow blower can't. A trooper, although she is hiding in her room right now.! She deserves it.

I just saw a report from the affected area.

I do not envy you at all.

 You keep saying that like you are trying to convince yourself.  And yes, you do have bugs.  You still have mosquitoes in the summer, dogs still get fleas, and there are spiders living in your house.  

 

We know how to deal with bugs, and it's a lot easier than snow-blowing several feet of snow for months.

 evileye I love my snow blower, it is the most important inanimate object I own. You should understand that growing up in Michigan. It's a love/hate thing. And I have not bugs for 6 months each year, sure, I get snakes hatching and the occasional mouse, but no bugs!

Today someone posted on our neighborhood's message board that it is cruel and dangerous to let children wait outdoors for the school bus for 5-10 minutes when it is 20 degrees out.

I said that was stupid and several people got very upset, crying about the poor children.

I don't know what to think now.

What is cruel is not dressing your children for the weather. I see kids standing out at hte bus stop for 10 or 15 minutes in 25 degree weather with shorts.

DD goes to the bus stop in 20 degree weather wearing no jacket. I gave up fighting with her. She can freeze for all I care or learn a lesson. So sue me

I used to go to the bus stop with wet hair. My hair would freeze into icicles.

They are all wearing coats. It's 20, not -20.

That guy must be a native Texan.
