  • Snowed In!

    Finally...the Weather Service got the weather right!

    They said "blizzard conditions with up to 15 inches possible".

    Well...we got it. More like 18 inches NOT counting the drifts!....with another 2 - 4 inches expected today.

    It started at 5:00 pm last night and quit early this morning....so we are saying it averaged about 1.25 inches per hour. Not as bad as some of the other cities around that nation (Chicago, Boston, New York).....but finally we have snow!

    ....the best thing about all this.....our neighbor plowed the driveway early this morning....and just had another buddy stop over, had me move the cars, and he finished plowing the remainder of the driveway!

    Wasn't nearly as bad where I live, looks like maybe 8 inches (maybe) however the wind was so bad it all blew towards my house so right in front of the door its like 2-3 feet high, but the driveway is 6-8 inches

      Sounds like you guys live in "cool" places. It's supposed to get to about 70 here today, but drops to a high in the low 40's tomorrow. We got our "big" snow storm right after Christmas, about a foot in most of the area. Hopefully that'll be the last "big" one this winter.

      The main items Im looking to trade for are
      Baseball HOFers Autos I need
      Orioles Autos I need
      Baseball HOFers GU I need
      Orioles GU I need
      Vintage Orioles I need 1950s through 1970
      However other offers will be considered

        Nice Blizzard conditions into the morning finally got out to snowblow and what was waiting at the end of the driveway compliments of the city plows? A nice 5 foot drift!!! I knew I paid taxes for something.

          I tried to pickup my mother and brother last night,well it was a bad idea.

          I got 2-3 blocks and got stuck in 3-4 ft snow drifts,some guys pushed my car to the side and I hobbled home and it took me forever,couldn't see my nose in front of me.

          Now 1 car stuck 3 blocks away and the other buried in my driveway.

          Got lucky and my friend picked up my mom and brother this morning and brought them both here,their lights and heat is still off.

          More than 20 inches has fallen at O'Hare -- closing major roadways, public schools and airports.

                    We got about 12 inches where I'm at a couple days ago, which doesn't sound so bad except that it was in the 70's a couple days before that!

                        Wow I thought I had it bad. I guess the saying is true no matter how bad you have someone has it worse.
