I wake up to snow on the ground and still falling! I hear we're supposed to get 3 inches today and another 6 tomorrow! My school should probably close today. I know as soon as I get there, my class will be cancelled. Grrr. Cut the crap and just close already.

Forecasting up to a foot here in New England starting Saturday AM! WoooHoo....let it snow! I'll be on the slopes Saturday for certain and possibly Sunday if I can convince the wife how important it is to get out there when the conditions are prime.

Skiracer, yep they do but the snow will melt fast, sort of like chernobyl.

People in Staten Is do not live forever, but they have a 1/2 life of 10,000 years.

Wow.. 18? This is crazy. So far we have about 5 inches or so, I haven't checked lately. They're predicting another possibility of 4 more inches and then another 6 inches tomorrow.

I went to Home Depot this morning to pick up one of those snow shovels with a bent handle. I walked past a steady stream of people leaving the garden dept. with 1, 2 or even 3 shovels. There were none left when I got to the rack.

I stopped at a second HD and they had plenty. I was really tempted to buy them all and sell them in front of the other Home Depot.

*pssst buddy* Ya wanna buy a shovel?

Picked up a new snow blower two nights ago. When I think of all the durable goods I've purchased in the last 2 quarters of this year we should be calling this economic recovery the must hike recovery.

I also bought a new snow thrower last year. It was one of the best purchases I made for last winter. Let's hope it gets just as much use this winter.

The forecast for my area of W PA calls for 5-9 inches of snow by tommorrow, then partly cloudy skys with occasional flurries through Sunday.

Too bad it's hunting season. Anyone wanna go hiking with me on Sunday???

Yikes! Good luck. I slid all the way home from class and there were some bad accidents around on Street Road. Where's it at? Wood?

Yay, MH saves the day!

Okay, now I'm really sick of the snow... I can't drive cause my car sucks in the snow and therefore I'm stuck inside this godforsaken house. I took a real long walk around the neighborhood but I'm still bored.

We only have about 1 inch so far and it's only light snow coming down. I'm hoping we don't get much since the hiking was so good with the bare ground and cold weather. I hate driving in the snow too.

We have about 7-8 inches or so, it's still flurrying out. We have a blizzard watch for tomorrow... 6-12 more inches. Ugh. The weather keeps changing. I just want to get out, I'm going stir crazy.

That's a lot of snow Scorch. I sure hope it doesn't make it's way up here or I'll be cleaning snow tomorrow for hours.
