Seems funny , todays forecast calls for light snow, looking out the window the snow has drifted several feet in areas.

15 inches here in South Haven, Mich. The storm warning is over. Its still coming down and they think 2 to 4 more today. I live in the country and no sign of traffic on my road. Looks like 2 to 3 foot drifts plus the snow is heavy. Thw winds blew at 35 plus all night. Looks like a day at home!:D

Today we have 2 inches of solid ice and we are facing a salt shortage in the city, so basically stay indoors or die is what they are saying on the news.

The main roads aren't that bad. Its the sidewalks that are an ice skating rink. I saw 4 people fall and bust their a$$ on the way to work. I almost fell a few time myself. The worst part is that we (in the Tri-State area at least) are supposed to be getting another "winter mix" as they like to call it over the weekend. I'm so over this stinkin weather! GIVE ME SPRING!!

I'd almost trade your snow for our freezing rain

Well we made it to work. Pushed thru 3 foot drifts in the driveway. Most of the town has not been plowed other than the main roads.

Same here. I cleared my driveway the other day and I can still see cement in some spots, but in others there are 2 to 3 foot drifts. I guess that averages out to a foot or foot and a half of snow.

The National Weather Service actually issued a "civil danger alert" in here in southern Wisconsin last night, meaning that if you are out on the roads and in danger, emergency vehicles would be unable to get to you and you were on your own. With the high winds and low visibility, it got a little scary here last night. Kudos to the power company and the cable company for allowing me to type this right now.

I was out and about a little while ago. RT.14 towards Woodstock is still shut down. Rt. 176 towards Rt. 47 is one lane in spots. Main drag through Crystal Lake is a skating rink and huge drifts everywhere. Cars in ditches, parking lots with mile high piles of snow, saw a couple stuck snow plows that got high centered. They're calling for up to -20 temps tonight with -40 wind chills.

I'm glad I have a generator with 20 extra gallons of gas and 2 cars with full tanks.

I ended up having to siphon a gallon out of the escort this morning for the snowblower... My bad, thought I had plenty. Going out now for more gas, more cans, and more propane for the garage. Plus I have to do the thermostat and timing belt on the scort TODAY! That belt sounds like a blower...

I'll take snow over ice any time! Thats how I broke my spine two years ago and the reason I'm going through hell now. :mad2:We got 14" this time with more on the way. It snows 2-6" every day here so we are used to it, but I hate ice.

Oh I completely agree, and I'm sure what we've gotten here in the city is nothing compared to Buffalo. But still... I'm done with the snow. That little groundhog better be right about the spring coming soon!! :mad2:

I was surprised the Marauder had very little snow on or around the car.

Whoa, those drifts look like sand dunes, pretty neat.
