:banghead;  :banghead;  :rant; I need a good scream. Mother nature is playing a cruel trick on Southern Maryland. They are telling us that we are going to get 17 inches of snow today and tomorrow. For God's sake it was 65 degrees here last Wednesday. Now I can't even get the car in the garage because the lawnmower is in there up on blocks. I am getting to old to be shoveling snow and the cold hurts my bones. Anybody else just sick of winter? I just need to  :rant; thanks for listening.  :cuddle;

Spring is coming....you can almost see it from here! Pleeeeaaaaassseee?

So true, Wenchie!  March is such a "tease"!  One day is sunny with the temperature in the 60's (Fahrenheit), and the next day we get a blizzard!

Enough already!   :stressed;

I spent 2 hours yesterday shoveling pathways at the place I'm moving into, and I've still got more to go - so I hear you, and I second the motion!

The South is having a good winter storm.  It was in the high 60's low 70's last week.   Daffodils, trees, forsythia are all blooming and tonight it is in the low 30's and it is suppose to snow!  Several inches!  I had the windows open on Friday.  And it will be 70 again in five days.  But, tonight we are getting snow.  So, I am going to sit back and enjoy it.  I have no where to go tomorrow   :thumbup;

The weather is strange here in San Antonio, as well.  Earlier in the week we hit the 90's!  And yesterday morning was probably in the 40's.    Really strange...    oh, and SUPER windy!

I woke up to 1-2" of snow this morning.  And, unfortunately, we do not have experts plowing our snow!  It's enough to stop everything in this part of Virginia.

I'm going to post pictures later. We have over a foot of wet, heavy snow and it is still coming down. We lost power last night for about an hour and everything here is closed. I have to go shovel the deck again for the puppies. Hope I don't have a heart attacked in this mess.  :cuddle;

pelagia, they closed the Harry Nice Bridge this morning and the Thomas Johnson Bridge. Glad you aren't going to Solomons.  :cuddle;

Let it snow let it snow let it snow.

OK i LIKE the snow.    :oops;

Easier to get warm in the winter then to cool down in the summer.
We got about 10" last night.  Biggest snow this year if not in years.

Sorry please dont ban me from this thread  :waving;..

Guess there is one in every crowd (one that likes the snow that is.......)

I don't mind the snow when it only falls in fields and on the lawn and where I don't have to walk or drive..... however, my dogs love the snow.

Looking forward to the big melt coming soon to a street near me.
