Is anyone else snowed in?
 

I could brave the drive to the CBY today I guess... but it's a straight up blizzard here in MPLS. Are my Chi-town people having the same proioblems today?

Was 82 and sunny here today...Sorry... If it's any consolation, I did get a little sunburned on the boat today :(

Its started now!, snowing and blowing and looking nasty.

lol....thats brutal...we had the same weather...but i do miss the snow

Had the first four legs of the Magna, then ran second in the last race with the horse I singled. I left Trackside, took two steps out the front door, then slipped on the ice and fell on my ass. I really wanted to kick myself in the ass anyway for singling that last leg, but the slip and fall really did the trick instead.

aww I feel sorry for you!

down here in arkansas, multiple tornadoes and hail, etc. some folks still missing. luckily we were further north and missed all the bad weather. weren't sure we would have a house to come back to, but everything's good here. but about an hour north/northeast, it got pretty bad. national guard was called out to help with the cleanup. 27 injured so far over there-little place on the map called Dumas.

Good that you're safe Danzig.
I just posted abot Dumas in a diff room.
No snow today in upstate NY.

:mad: calling for snow and ice here tonight and tomorrow...

14 inches of snow last night. Suppose to get another 10-15 inches tonight (currently about 4 inches has fallen). And another 4-6 inches throughout tomorrow during the day.

I hate snow.

Had enough on Valentine's Day and then the wind got into the 30+ inches.
My back hasn't recovered yet from the shoveling!

all of it MISSING us SO far!... thank goodness! :eek:

Wow, I lucked out apparently.

Today is my first day of my new schedule of working 830-530 so you can imagine how nervous i got listening to PMayjr and AJ talk about snow.

Looks like it snowed here about 3 inches or so and it appears to have frozen but the drive to work wasn't TOO bad.

Hopefully it's not followed by a ton more today!

For NW Suburban Chicago they were originally predicting 10-12 inches. I'd say we got about 3. If weather forecasters are as bad at handicapping horses as they are weather, they'd go broke awfully quick.

Here too , its just, wet, cold, windy, and sloppy. Nothing to get too excited about. It looks like travel is not a real problem.

right, they had us prepared for the blizzard of 07!!:rolleyes:

North of Chicago by 75 miles and we got nailed!!!! Probably 1 hr of shoveling now followed by 3-4 hrs of snow mobliling and then the NASCAR race from CA will be the plans for the day.

JJP,
They predicted 10-12 inches in the MPLS area, and unfortunately the weather casters got paid. We got just about that, and we're supposed to get another couple of inches today. When it's all said and done though, I'll take this **** over the sub-zero weather anyday. Because when we get these blizzards, we get them when it's in the 20s-30s. We just got out of a 3 week cold snap that gave us sub zero temps everyday. Snow will go away after a few days... that cold stuff never seems to go away when it comes.

this may have been the clincher for a return trip to Ft. Lauderdale next w/e for the FOY. Hear that Antitrust?

We got pounded again. Last night I was on 53 going West from Wooddale and it was RIDICULOUS. There was about 5 inches ON THE HIGHWAY, they didn't even have one lane plowed. Saw about four cars either GO INTO a rail or into another car.....

Looks like we might get an inch or two and then some freezing rain.

It's okay though, cuz last night I had major dreamage about moving back to FL. So I spent about an hour or so looking at the South Florida area where our office is.....Can you say Gulfstream!!!! :D

Of course you had a good reason to be out on the roads, right?
Some kind of emergency maybe?

that's a benefit of being n. of the border. Had a friend pick me up on snow mobile and off to the bars we went.

oh yeah! I am ready!

$100 poker tourney :)

I'll let you know for sure Wed night. Only way we don't come is if we get pounded with work at the office.

That's my boy, I knew there had to be a compelling reason to risk your life.:D

How'd you do?

Snowed in? No. More like iced in. 1/4 inch on everything and now it's sleeting like hell won't have it. Here in the 616 holland Michigan. Irishmandan lives alittle north of me where it's going to be snowing with 30 mph winds all day long.

When we got there is was perfect out, when we got knocked out (I was first knocked out when some 'setted' my top pair top kicker) there was 8 inches on the ground, and 5 INCHES on 53. I have seen nothing like it on the highway before....even with the Envoy I was getting taken.

I just tried shoveling this crap and it was BRUTAL, heart is going a mile a minute right now

I lost my power yesterday at noon, just got it back a few minutes ago. I live 150 miles southwest of chicago, we had an inch of ice and little bit of snow.

Gosh guys, I really, really feel for you all shoveling snow and freezing, wish I could transport you here for the day,, it was a spectacularly beautiful morning, just got back from an hour ride on my horse up in the high-desert, the snow on the mountains is gorgeous!!! I guess thats why California is so crowded! :D

I live in Northwest NJ in what is called the Snow Belt. Over the years, we have gotten storms similar to the Midwest. In the last few, things have changed. Our property still has a film of ice of about an inch, with snow of about an inch over it. It is in the high twenties right now. There is no precipitation falling and little is expected in the next few days. I feel for all those dealing with the elements.

I think the weatherman missed another one.....1 inch of snow has turned into 6 inches of snow....supposed to get a little dose of sleet before it all ends....c'mon South Florida! :p

haha! we have 1" MAYBE? 2" but the sleet is here now.

south fla. i can see you hanging onto a palm tree during hurricane season.:p

with some luck it, looks like it's finished here!.....2" tops ended with some sleet and rain but temp is 32*. melting already. :D

no kidding only an inch or 2? I just cleared off the cars....six inches of heavy snow here...no sleet at all...what a difference South and Braddock Mountains make I guess....

I will be more than happy to send hurricane video....lived there for 5 years and loved every minute of it.....had I known then what I know now, I would have never left.....although we weren't in South Florida we were in the Orlando area in a suberb called Lake Mary.....Absolutely loved it....

yup 2" of snow and more rain than sleet. rain/sleet only lasted 45 minutes to and hour.

i'm with you i could take the hurricane better than this crap..... i don't mind the heat and humidity. my work truck has NO ac. you get used to it i guess.
