Having A Snow Storm Today?

I'm suppose to receive a foot of snow, Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning!
Guess what I'll be doing Thursday?!

Stay warm and rest up for the exercise...or you could pay a neighbor kid to do it for $20. or so.

Thank you Ruthanne. 18º this morning. We don't have any neighborhood kids big enough to shovel. They are from kindergarten to second graders.

The weather forecaster was wrong with their predictions of a foot of snow for my area...woke up this morning to 2 feet! It's just gorgeous out there! Haven't seen snow like this in years!

We have 2 snowblowers that will get a workout today.

Couldn't you stack 2 or 3 of them, on top of each other, for the job? :sneaky::LOL:

On 2nd thought, I guess the snowblower plan is a good one for you!
Especially since you got more than expected. ;)

I got about 1 foot.... it's a lot, and it's very cold outdoors,
but I kept the power and heat, and ability to warm food , tea and pain pads, so I am fine. (y):)
 
We got a foot of snow, but it's deeper in places because of the drifting. It's been windy! I'm going to celebrate the first significant snowfall by going into hibernation til Spring comes...
 
I live on the top of a mountain. It's the Pocono Mtns. People, who live next to the Rockies laugh at my mountain. But next to me is a broad valley about 600 feet lower than me. That causes all kinds of strange windy things. From my window, I can see the grass peeking through the snow, but on my front porch, the drifts are 2-3 feet high, and piled up on my front storm door. I couldn't open it. I had to use my back door, which only had about a foot. For some strange reason, the snow drifts out back are 4-5 deep. So since it was the only way out of the house, I had to trudge to the front. There are 3-4 ft drifts in my drive way, and two feet from them is the grass. It really feels like some vengeful god plopped snow drifts just in the worst places.

That's a lot of snow!

It's snowing here in Denver right now. We usually get light, powdery snow, which is easy to shovel -- unlike the wet stuff you get in the NE. I grew up in NY state and can remember what it's like back there.

Wow, that's a ton of snow there! I don't like those drifts..they can be really, really deep. We have had them here before too. I sure hope you get some sun that will melt it down!

I hear you...hibernation is what I'd like to do, too, but someone has got to feed the pet family.
 
We only had about 5 inches yesterday of that heavy wet snow. I pushed it off of my car. I have the feeling this is going to be one very snowy Winter and it's not even Winter yet (on the calendar that is).
 
We are expecting a snow storm tomorrow in the Great Lakes region with very high winds.

Now I am the one worried about losing power because the temperature is supposed to go down into the teens at night.
 
Late Thursday afternoon we will start getting snow which may last until Saturday morning. Winds predicted up to 60 miles per hour.
