| Snow.. snow and more snow!!!! Anyone kept up with the weather reports in New England? We had a storm 2 weeks ago that dumped 2+ feet of snow, since then we've had 3 storms that have dumped anywhere from 8 inches to a foot. So we currently have about 3 feet of snow and HUGE snow banks that town DPWs and private companies are having shipped out to make room on the roads. We have 6+ foot snow banks. We have been buried. But to make matters worse, the temperature has not gotten into the 30s in 2 weeks so nothing is melting! This is really posing a problem. This morning we had a dusting to an inch, ok, no problem.... it took me 2.5 hours to get to work this morning. Traffic was HORRIBLE everywhere!!! I mean it was soooooo bad I saw or heard of more than 6 accidents in my commute path. This is for a DUSTING of snow!!! Ive driven in 3x this year in snow that was anywhere between 8 inches to a foot and had better commutes every time! So now they are saying we are getting possibly another foot of snow by thurs morning's commute and another 6 inches for saturday! AARRGGGG Anyone feel like flying me and my 2 boys out somewhere where there is no snow???? The poor dogs are crossing their legs and whining because they have to pee and do not want to go out in -17 degree weather!!! YEP, thats right.... -17 sunday night and -5 last night!!! Yesterday it hit 8 degrees for a high!!! Its only jan and I am already soooooo sick of winter this year!!! Funny thing is, we've gotten all this snow in the last 2 weeks... before that we had hardly nothing at all! Not even a white Christmas!

YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | Ahhh no kidding! I had to actually dig trenches in my yard so the dogs could go out - and that was after digging the snow away from the door so we could open it. Yesterday was finally a nice dry day, but we had wind chills of -20! It looks like there's no end in sight ... ah, where are you Spring?

| I am also ready for Spring!!!! At least our water table should be in good shape for 2011...But this white stuff can go...we will all have to trade vehicles because our frames will rust out from all of the salt and not being able to get thru car washes because of the frigid temps...guess that will help our ecomomy..huh!!! lol |

| I am sick of snow too! But I have to say, after hovering around -40 for a week, it was very nice to be around -20 C (around -5 F) last week I was outside without my jacket even zipped up! It'll be another few months until spring here Usually the snow will be gone by the end of April.

| I think we'll have snow banks into June at this rate! LOL Linz, I cannot imagine those temps at all! I am ok until it hits the teens and is windy... no matter how sunny it is those days are brutal!!! Sunday was 14 and sunny but it was windy and I was miserable. I could not seem to warm up from the inside at all. Usually i am always hot too! I would not mind the snow so much if I could either work from home or it came on weekends.

| I hate cold too, but freezing cold doesn't bother me as much as just mildly cold. If it's a breezy summer day I can't stop shivering! It's funny how we acclimatize though, because in the spring when temperatures are just above freezing, I can be outside having snowball fights in a t-shirt

| I see on the news how much y'all are getting! It's nuts! We haven't had anything this year though. I like snow days where I get to stay home.

Besides having to drive to work, I think the worst part is seeing the look in Brody's eyes especially as he looks at all the snow and says '"now where am I supposed to pee?"

| Sounds like Maryland last year! I love the snow, in the amounts that we've been getting it THIS year.... lol. Last year was a bit much. I remember it being storm after storm after storm and every stormed dumped a LOT! We had 3 declared blizzards. This year, thus far, has been fairly mild... we've had quite a bit of snow storms but most are really small and don't stick around long. Jackson loves the snow, and I don't mind it either, but I'm sooo ready for spring!
