The Never-ending snowfall

Post by Defiant »

Did anyone else here in the U.S. get a bunch of snow? Here in the midwestern U.S. we got about 15 inches. It sucks!

Most of Western Long Island got 20 inches, 3 feet in some places because of the wind.

Just west of Phily got about 20 inches on top of several inches that didn't melt from the last storm. Drifts reach 3-4 feet in places but are not that common. Lucky I shoveled my driveway and sidewalk late yesterday during a lull in the storm. That made today's effort much much easier.

Ha! I laugh at you all covered in snow! The stormcompletleymissed Michigan, so we get off scot-free! Tee-hee!

Although if it did hit, we'd be expecting 2-3 feet of snow.

In Western PA, I got about 2 feet of snow. However, it's gotten warmer, and the snow is melted. However, they are expecting flurries next morning.

I wouldn't have minded getting more snow, though.

I live in Madison Heights, little town about 10 miles north of Detroit. Nice place, quiet, sleepy, but its got some nice locations.

But hey, we beat that storm. And incidentaly, the Wings are beating out their opponents now too. We had an off week for sure, but we're back and we took San Jose, Buffalo and Atlanta with us. Onward to Vancouver!

Yeah, good thing it missed Michigan and hit us here in Ohio. I bet if one snowflake fell on a Michigan road, it would fall apart :twisted:

We've been having a bit of rain off an on for most of the week. Still, unless you grew up here it's pretty nice. (A lot of the native Tucsonans whine if the sky is mostly cloudy for more than a couple of days in a row). :roll:
