This is only remotely interesting because this is roughly 4 hours of accumulation.

I just watched the snow plow get stuck in my parking lot.

I know it's not nice to laugh that your snow plow got stuck, but....

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I LOLED.

[melissa2u.livejournal.com]

We got hit too. 10 inches or so over 10 hours, and it's still coming down! Ah, winter. Who knew it'd be so wintery?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I know. It feels so odd!

[lefaym.livejournal.com]

That's impressive.

(See -- you might all die, but OMG AMAZING PICTURES.)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I'mma see if I will be able to get any good ones tomorrow. I'll have to shovel, and SOMEONE HERE HAS SKIPANTS SO SHE CAN MAKE SNOW ANGELS.

[planejane.livejournal.com]

So YOU stole all the snow?! There is NONE in MI, NONE, I TELL YOU.

Good job I hate skiing.

[cyprinella]

That's what my brother was saying when I talked to him tonight. He's in Bay City and said that he can see most of his lawn. CRAZY!

[cyprinella]

I'm pretty sure that I saw lightning a half hour ago. Thundersnow!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Any is in Hyattsville and she says there's thunder!

Part of the reasons the roads are so bad here is that when the shit came down it wasn't that cold, and then it all froze, and this wet stuff is heavy. My wheels just spun and spun and spun. My dad had to drive me home, because though we both only have front wheel drive, his car is heavier. It's still not cold, but all this stuff is just heavy.

wires are gonna go down.

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

Wow, look at the show.

It's been weird weather lately.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

It's been a shit winter.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

FUCK THAT. CUE IANTO JONES SHOWING UP WITH SOME SAMBUCA AND A BOX OF TROJANS.

[azarias.livejournal.com]

I went outside to measure depth with a cat toy. The cats lined up in the window to look horrified.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL DID YOU GET LOST?

[golden-d.livejournal.com]

It's supposed to snow for like thirty straight hours! We're on hour 5.5 here, and it seems like we're getting about an inch an hour. If this keeps up, then...there is no way I'm leaving the house tomorrow for anything except shoveling. Damn it, weather, I had plans!

(But I also have eggs, so there will be baking.)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I will have to bake! I am excited! Or I might just clean my kitchen!

*waves at the Great White East*

I'm from Maryland. (Okay, West Virginia. Don't let it get around.) They mocked me back home when I moved to Chicago. "It's cold there! They get snow there!" WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I would never mock you!

[annemjw.livejournal.com]

RAGSNOWROK BEGIIIIINS

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OH YES! GOOD!

[opium-and-tea.livejournal.com]

Would you believe I've only seen snow once? Only an inch or two when I was four.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OMG REALLY? NO WAI.

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

We had lightning, the power flickered twice, then we heard a few transformers blow out, back on Heartwood. I lost the internet (but not the cable), but Comcast helped fix it. OMG Viola is going to have a ball in the backyard.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

The snow is up to and over the flower barrel. I think we're gonna lose a tree or two; all the pines here are so heavy with snow they look like closed umbrellas.

[easilymused1956.livejournal.com]

I'm from the Deep South. An INCH of snow was enough for people to dance. And the State Police to start Disaster Protocol. I'm not kidding.

Now I live in Colorado. It snows, people barely notice.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah. we don't usually get snow like this, and the roads are genuinely impassible this time. Hah.

[lawsontl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was warmer when it first started, so we had a nice layer of sneet (I totally ship snow with sleet: OTP!) that turned into a thin sheet of ice after dark. But, still, you drive like a sane person, it's OK. We live in Ohio, though, so that's impossible. Despite the fact we routinely get multiple annual snowfalls, people always freak out the minute it gets deep enough to make a footprint.

Nonetheless, they predicted anywhere from 8-12", but I can still see belleh (I always measure snow based on how much cat remains viewable when I toss it into the snow, far more reliable). I am woefully disappointed.

What snow we are getting does seem rather damp and heavy. As you noted, the trees are looking somewhat pendulous. On the bright side, Hurricane Ike cleared out all the weak shit last year, so I don't anticipate much in the way of tree loss or damage. And tomorrow? Total photo ops.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

My snow has tripled from this pic.

You wouldn't be able to see cat, let alone belleh.

Driving in this isn't bad, except that everything is a fucking hill here.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

I rly fucking hope it gets it out of its system this weekend, b/c I will KILL someone if I can't make it.

[sthayashi.livejournal.com]

Since they never f***ing plow our street, hurray that they got stuck.

I was joking on your last entry that I'm not going anywhere. Now, I'm not joking anymore. My entire front tire is buried in snow.

[dvanulya.livejournal.com]

I laugh at your snow as I sweep my way out of the remnants of our sandstorm.

[madder-rose.livejournal.com]

Ah! So that's where all our snow went! Yay! I can finally stop digging myself out of my house EVERY MORNING!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_lullabelle_/]

Ahahahaha... So THAT'S where it all went. I'm in New Hampshire and it's BARE GROUND. EVERYWHERE. In FEBRUARY. It's really weird.

[sivatheminty.livejournal.com]

LoL, that's all I have to say.

Stay safe...make a mighty snowman

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

We used to have almost 2 feet of accumulation for the whole season so far, then about a week ago we had heavy rain for a day or so. Back down to bare, dead grass in places. We then had just over 4 inches this week to cover things back up again.

I would send one of my boyz out to help with the snow clearing, but that would probably involve them shoveling for 3.458 minutes, claiming they are tired, and proceeding to romp around in the snow and look for a sled.
