Is this ever gonna stop. Easily got 15 inches up here in Lake County. Sun was out for a few minutes but snow is back. Low visibility!

I hate snow, that is all that i know.

How’s Michigan? We have a lot of wind over here. Very very strong and dangerous. Hasn’t stopped snowing all morning long.

Its windy as hell right now. They are talking about another 6 inches of lake effect.

I thought so. It’s best to stay inside unless you really have to go outside. There’s a lot of activities indoors, like spamming at Soxtalk.com. ;)

I heard over the news that NYC is expecting around 20 inches of snow this weekend.

 

Ugh!

Sun finally came out here and looks like we are clear. Windy as hell, though. Creates drifts after I snowblowed the driveway.

Yeah the wind at my house is awful. We didn't even bother snowblowing our driveway because it will just be blown over. The tracks I made going to church tonight were gone by the time I got home. I guess I'm just going to have to get up early tomorrow and hope the wind has died down.

It snowed here in DC today...not nearly as bad as you guys got...but to DC natives, it's horrible...in fact, the Weather Channel was telling people in DC that if they went outside they were "risking their lives." :lol:

Got around 8 inches in Batavia. That was at 3:00 so i have no idea what it is now.

We got about 10-12" here (south Chicago near Alsip). I shoveled 3 times yesterday and then gave up. My back is killing me, but I will probably go and tackle the rest in an hour or so.

I don't know how much snow we got here (upstate NY), but it was enough to reach onto my car doors.

 

And, I know that as an enviromentalist I shouldn't say this, but: FRIGGIN SALT PEOPLE! The roads are disgusting here, SALT THEM.

Hey QP, i didn't know you lived around alsip?

Do you live in the mt. greenwood area or something?

Yeah, plenty o' snow here.

 

I heard that in North Carolina they got like 1 inch of snow, and the kids had to stay locked down in school, and the parents couldn't get to the school! ROFL!
