Getting our fair share.

Definitely got at least an inch of fall during the time I was giving blood. I think it was about an hour.

Post by: GGKoul on January 22, 2005, 02:45:42 pm: I'm in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. And there's probably 3-4 feet outside.

Damm there was an auction in Toronto today and probably nobody was there because of all the snow.

Post by: JoyMonkey on January 23, 2005, 09:32:40 am: Here's the view from out my kitchen window right now. That poor bastard is going to have to dig out his Passatt once he's got his little pathway dug out. Meanwhile, I'm responsible for shoveling a 36"x24" piece of sidewalk right outside our front door ;D

It's still snowing too. :o
Title: Re: Anybody else getting snow dumped on them??
Post by: Sephroth57 on January 23, 2005, 09:41:00 am: ive shoveled 3 times yesterday, its a lot easier if you just keep up with it so youre never doing more then like 2-3 inches at a time. Supposed to keep snowing until noon and it should be over... thank god im going crazy holed up in my house. first thing im doing is driving right to my girlfriends dorm room this afternoon once the roads clear up a little bit... im going through withdrawl

Post by: mnm1200 on January 23, 2005, 10:27:41 am: ended up only being 10", only 1/2 to 1/3 what they were predicting and no winds yet either =D
Title: Re: Anybody else getting snow dumped on them??
Post by: fredster on January 23, 2005, 10:54:00 am: I'm in TN and we got nearly a 1/4" here. We are in fear of our lives. OMG help us. This may not melt off until 10:00 tommorow.

I didn't know, now I can't run to the store and pick up bread, milk, and water.

I just hope we make it through tommorow. Obviously, schools will be closed for the rest of the week... ;)
Title: Re: Anybody else getting snow dumped on them??
Post by: versapak on January 23, 2005, 11:12:24 am: I was very disappointed with our snowfall actually.

We only got about 4-5". :(

It was coming down really hard for a while, and then just stopped. Never to start again.

Now we are just left with a nasty cold wind blowing the already fallen snow in our faces.

Title: Re: Anybody else getting snow dumped on them??
Post by: ChadTower on January 23, 2005, 12:27:08 pm: We're over two feet and it's still snowing. My civic is completely covered in a drift, you can't see any sign of other than a mound of snow.
Title: Re: Anybody else getting snow dumped on them??
Post by: mozzer on January 23, 2005, 12:33:13 pm: They were forcasting 10 - 18" for our area and then a low pressure system shoved the storm to the east and we only ended up with 8". Saved my back from a lot of pain!

It's still too brutal to go sledding, I think...but I'm debating it.

Post by: ChadTower on January 23, 2005, 02:12:37 pm: We've got the same as Mr. C (I'm about a half hour south of him). My Honda keeps coming in and out of view depending on the wind covering and uncovering it. I'd post pictures but Mr C pretty much has it covered.

Title: Re: Anybody else getting snow dumped on them??
Post by: Mameotron on January 24, 2005, 06:51:54 pm: The same storm that pounded MrC got us too. We only got 12" and 3 to 4 foot drifts. But we got -5 temps and gusts up to 50 mph. My dogs refuse to step outside. They may explode if it doesn't warm up soon! :o
