Blizzard warnings and all! :penguinspin: Kinda cool, but I still wonder what the birds, etc. do in this kind of horrific weather! Helen P. We got a little sleet this am and that's it. I'd rather have 2 feet of snow then all this freezing rain we are suppose to get tonight. (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i210/freckle_faced_cat/smileys/snow2.gif) Title: Re: Biiiig snowstorm!

Over a foot of snow by tomorrow evening. Yuck! Can't wait for Spring! So funny that you want to hear from everyone out "here". As I was driving home tonight, anticipating a wonderful snow day tomorrow, I thought of the "Falcon Flakes" and wondering if you would venture out into what promises to be quite a day. So let "US" out here in the warmth and safety of our homes and computer screens know how you "flakes" are. So we are thinking of you too...Let us hear from you if you're in the path of this storm. Title: Re: Lots of Snow and Freezing Rain Coming! Post by: Patti from Kentucky on 01-Feb-11, 11:09:36 PM So far just two days of solid rain for us...but the temperature is supposed to drop...so we'll see what happens then! I did a run in the pouring rain at 39 degrees tonight...I've spent all evening with hot drinks trying to warm my thoroughly rain-soaked chilled body!
Title: Re: Lots of Snow and Freezing Rain Coming! Post by: valhalla on 02-Feb-11, 05:09:37 AM Rain from the Chesapeake to Arlington, VA this morning! Yay! 34 - 36 degrees and big puddles! :rain:
Title: Re: Lots of Snow and Freezing Rain Coming! Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 02-Feb-11, 07:13:46 AM Well, here in Ulster County, NY there seems to be bands of snowmaggedon and icepocalypse...a lot of staff have called out due to the weather. Funny thing is the staff who made it in have all said the roads aren't that bad-myself included (although I did stay over nearby last night). So I'm waiting to see the news reports where these pockets of 3 feet of snow and 6 inches of ice happened, cause no one I've spoken to this morning has seen it. Amazing how when we offer to come pick them up it's suddenly some other excuse. It's health care, people. You knew you needed to plan for bad weather when you got into the business.
Can you tell I'm a little crabby this morning? Ei Title: Re: Lots of Snow and Freezing Rain Coming! Post by: Shaky on 02-Feb-11, 07:18:48 AM As you can see from the cameras, the storm is a non-event in Rochester.
I hear you about the excuses, Ei. All schools are closed here even though all roads are open. So unless the vast majority of students in a district walk to school, there is no reason the schools should be closed. Little Suzie and little Johnny are perfectly capable of walking to the end of the driveway and hopping on the bus. Title: Re: Lots of Snow and Freezing Rain Coming!

Post by: dale on 02-Feb-11, 07:48:04 AM It's fun. I'm macho about weather - like, "give it your best shot, winter, let's see what you can do..." but I have to say that this one is pretty wild.
If it's really headed east, well, enjoy it, folks. Hi, Brian, back atcha. Title: Re: Lots of Snow and Freezing Rain Coming!

Can you tell I'm a little crabby this morning? Ei Sounds like a few weeks ago here in the Shenandoah Valley area. The manager of the Home Depot where I work (my "retirement" position...) called me on a day off to see if I could come in because he'd had several callouts due to the snow. Maybe three inches. I had plans so couldn't do it, but I asked him what kind of wusses we had there anyway. Turns out that a couple of stupid motorists had done stupid things on a couple of the (many) hills out there, and the roads were blocked for hours. Those people really *couldn't* get out.
