I'm pretty sure this is God's judgment on the DC area for trying to push through government run health-care. :noid:

Somebody had to say it.

It never stops!! Luckily my work closed today so I didn't have to try to shovel everything out and get to work. The way things are going I won't even be able to get there tomorrow. The snow slowed down briefly but now it's picking up again. I've shoveled for 2 hours so far and I'm guessing it'll need at least a couple more hours. I haven't seen snow like this in a long time.

I'm not on the coast so we don't have as much snow. I'm not sure how much we've got but I can't move my car so I'm stuck in the house. My husband has a truck and he'll drive in anything so long as it's not illegal.

Lancaster County, PA. About 1.5 hours west of Philadelphia.

2 feet last Friday/Saturday. Another 2 feet so far last night/today. And it's still coming down.

west/northwest of boston these days. it's starting to come down pretty well right now and we're suppose to be getting 8-12 inches. i'm pumped! the mid atlantic has been getting our share this winter, and i for one am tired of it!

on a side note, i just picked up my new (to me) car and can't wait to go tearing around in the snow* with excessive horsepower and the best all wheel drive system out there!:guitar:

that and i enjoy cruising around in snow storms helping people out who need it...




*for those worried about my nonchalant attitude towards what would otherwise be classified as reckless endangerment, i'm a very safe driver with lots of experience. especially in the snow (lived in boston, minnesota and northwestern ontario)...

My Aunt just south of Pittsburgh hasn't had electricty since the last storm and basically was told two weeks before it could get restored. Now this new storm will make things worse

In Pittsburgh, Pa we got 24" of snow on Saturday, then on Sunday morning it was -2 degrees. On Monday it went up to 15 degrees.

This morning it was 10 degrees, with a windchill of -10, and last nite and today we got another 8 inches of snow, and it is still coming down right now.

It took me 5 hours to shovel my driveway on Saturday. The kids have not had school since last Thursday. We didn't get mail on Saturday.

There are over 100,000 people who have not had electricity since last Friday, and many roads that have not yet been plowed.

Some guy put a generator in his basement, went to bed, and in the morning him and his 19 year old daughter were dead from the fumes.

There have been a number of roof colapses, and many accidents.

It all comes down to whether you have a 4X4 vehicle or not. We have a Jeep, but for some people they are literally trapped at home, and some don't have electric.
