Who in the Midwestern US got hit by the snow storm?

[naturestee]

Well, I'm home for the day. They almost sent my coworker to get me, he has a big 4x4 truck, but then they figured out ways to do stuff so I wouldn't be needed.

The plow finally came through at 3 pm. What's up with that? Oh and then he got stuck in my road!!! It wasn't one of those huge snow plows, just a big Ford with a plow on the front, but still!!!

hmm...well "officially" we got eight inches.....now the yardstick my bro stuck outside this fall....well I have no idea what it says cause it's under the snow...I'd have to dig it out to find out!

I thought I'd be smart and cut across the yard instead of walking on the unshoveled walk (it's easier to shovel if nobody has tromped all over it LOL)

the snow went up to my thigh! now granted we've got blowing and drifting..but anyway you cut it that's ALOT of snow!

We got tons of dire warnings about sleet and freezing rain and a terrible ice storm, but it was so humid the temperature stayed just above freezing, so we just got a rainshower, with some thunder and lightening. Roads weren't even slick this morning. I feel very lucky!

Our ice is pretty much gone now! The temps rose and melted it. I had to sort of skate over the barnlot tho. I took my "niece dog" ..... Bro inlaw got a puppy for Christmas..... to see her mama (my sister inlaw) at work today. She was a happy girl!

[kherrmann3]

I don't mind the snow, as long as it stays between 20-30[sup]o[/sup]F out! No melting, therefore, less freezing of liquid into ice! Hooray!

I am so tired... It's 2:30AM... We have to leave for Michigan. I almost feel like crying.

well we got crap here, all we got was freezing rain and a little bit of snow, now it is just an ugly mess, ick. We are getting antoher round of this tommorrow, then rain on christmas eve, another double yuck!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wabbitdad12]

We got thunder, rain and then3 inches of snow on top of about 1 inch of ice.

My car wouldn't start, I had to clean a thick heavy layer of snow and ice off the hood of my car and my wifescar I used to jump startmine.Then I got her car stuck infront of the house after I had gotten mine going.I then got stuck at the end of my street and end of being late to work.

Oops, LOL.. missed the "Midwest" bit on this thread and just saw 'who in US got hit with snow storm'... haha, sorry I'm such a space cadet!

Last Sunday/Monday/Tuesday we got about 4-6 inches of snow. It semi melted on Thursday and then the temp dropped to 17/18 degrees!! So it turned to tons of ice everywhere. Today we're getting another 4 inches of snow! I haven't checked the weather forecast for the coming week yet :shock:.

The roads are a mess because Portland is awful about graveling roads properly. Most don't get any unless there's more than 5-6 inches! Boo.
:X


Edit: Just checked the weather forecast and we're getting snow for the next 5 days!!!!!
Yikes!

We are totally buried anyway and then it started again about 12pm and will snow until 6pm Sun. Supposedly going to break a record in Dec. :shock:

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

We have snow here! Not Midwest, but West, lol.

We have 6 inches, and a blizzard is coming in tonight. My mom said we're supposed to get anywhere from 4" to 12" of snow just tonight! It's snowing as I type this and it hasn't stopped since it started, which was about 10:30 or so this morning! It's insane!

I'm loving the snow and all, but it's getting kinda crazy. Walking in it is a MAJOR task! lol.

[Raspberry82]

Us too! It started this morning at 10am and hasn't stopped since! It's especially scary getting around or walking because we have a thick layer of ice under the fresh snow. Eeps.
