Here in southeastern NC, we've had 36 hours of rain, and we're expecting it to continue until Sat. afternoon.  Temp has been in the 60's.  I'm glad it's not snow.

Come West! It's 79 today, light breeze, fruit trees are full of blossoms and roses are sprouting new leaves.
I wish I could share it with you, I would send a box full of sunshine to you OB!

karol, your a tease. It has rained (no poured buckets) today and they say it will continue through tomorrow and then get windy. The fog has set in and I can't see the house next door. Nice weather, if your a duck!

We are supposed to get snow, freezing ,rain and rain starting tomorrow afternoon and Sunday.  It's time for winter to be over now and let spring take over.  Well here in Newfoundland we don't really get much of spring.  Usually still cool and wet.  Good thing about it is spring flowers usually stay in bloom a little longer here.  Usually don't bloom until  at least May though!!!  Seems like we go from winter to summer!!!  I can't wait!!!!!

OB, my sister in New Concord just called.  They are predicting 15 inches and blizzard conditions. She is not happy! Haven't talked to my brother in Worthington, but am worried for all of you in the Columbus area.  Stay safe and warm!   We are enjoying our wonderful rain today. It is a steady rain that will finally make a difference in our drought.  I am filling lots of containers for wateriing later.  We aren't allowed to water outdoors or wash cars.  Lots of brown yards and dirty cars!

paris, we're in the same situation you are with the no outdoor watering. Thankfully we've had lots of rain in the last two or three weeks, so hopefully by summer we'll be back to "normal". They're calling for possible snow tonight, though. Sure wish it would make up it's mind...it was close to 70 yesterday - not supposed to get above the low 40's tomorrow.

We are getting what they call lake effect snow. Only the counties along the shores of Lake Michigan get dumped on. Tonight it will be 3-6" not a lot but still a bother...Boxman

The wife is in Milwaukee this weekend and she called when she got there and was surprised to see 6" of the white stuff. Kitkatz is probably in Chicago but I wonder if she built a snowman before she left Milwaukee.

Wonder if she let the snowman wear her boa ... Nahhhhh, Box is the only man she's share that with!

We are buried...could be a foot before it ends later today...the town is at a complete standstill, everything is closed, so we'll be just bunkering down and letting the kids play outside for awhile!

My mom lived in upstate New York, close to Lake Erie when she was younger (40 years ago), and she has some stories about lake effect snow!

I live in Upstate New York-( Rochester) and we are having a major snow storm! There is already about maybe 7 or 8 inches of snow and we are expected to get maybe 6-10 more inches tonight! I was slipping and sliding driving home from dialysis last night, thank god I made it home safe. Stay warm everyone else who is getting snow! :snowman;

My daughter-in-law niss from Bath NY, in the beautiful finger lakes region.
Traveling from Ohio up to Bath is a long drive sometimes with the lake snow effect.
She goes into Rochester sometimes for major purchases, like her wedding dress.

Boxman and Karen live near "lake effect snow."  My sympathies.  I've been listening to Buffalo weather reports ever since I can remember and always wondered why people even live in Buffalo, NY.  Not that my area doesn't get its share of snow, sleet (which apparently is different than freezing rain for some reason), etc. 

The big news in my neighborhood is they took away the five feet snowbanks on Thursday and Friday of this last week!!!  Oh, there are houses across the street from me?  Hadn't seen them for a while.  The big storm we were suppose to get this weekend has been a non-event so far.  Thank goodness.   :2thumbsup;

Spoke with my brother who lives in Columbus, OH he said they got 20" of snow this weekend. How fun is that...Boxman
Title: Re: winter storm
Post by: Ohio Buckeye on March 09, 2008, 03:51:49 PM
It isn't fun Boxman, it isn't fun!
I was fortunate that I could stay in.
There is a little traffic out today.  Yesterday nothing hardly.
Plus people were stranded at the Ohio airports, where Columbus had 20-1/2". 
The driveways here have about snow 18" deep in them, where it's not drifted.
Thurs. will be in 50's and then we will have to worry about flooding.

Chicago had snow, but Milwaukee is colder and had an inch of snow as we left for Chicago. We were out in it at 5 a.m. walking to the bus stops.  I have one word to say BRRRR!

paddbear, if we had that much snow, I wouldn't even be able to see our yorkies, but they are smart little devils, they go in the shower when the weather is too bad. You can keep all that white stuff.  ;D

I used to love snow, but not anymore.  In southeastern NC, the temp tomorrow and Thursday is predicted to be 75.  Everything is blooming.  Spring is right around the corner.

Petey, when I got my last transplant, I lived just a few hours north of you (near New Bern). I got the kidney in early March, so was off work from March until early June...I got the absolute BEST the weather of NC has to offer! And I had a huge back deck to enjoy it on everyday, too.
