unsinkable Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 :lol: I gotta laugh, too. We were supposed to get a trace to an inch last night. It's closer to 5, which means instead of a quick brush off of the van and a sweep of the driveway and sidewalks, it all needs to be shoveled. Snow.

I do NOT want to do this again. I'm just gonna let the next snowplow take me out and be done with it. (Not really. Nobody friggin panic on me.

Wheres Toto Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I am sooo done with this. This winter has been unbelievable. We have had piles of ice and snow for months, the streets are still narrower than usual, even our "heatwave" last weekend didn't get rid of much of it. I have no idea what we are supposed to get tonight. I've seen three different forecasts for my area - one says 2-4", one says 4-7" and one says 8-14". Guess which one I'm hoping for?

Carrie12345 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm in one of those ridiculous "Could be 1" plus ice, could be 14"" areas. :glare: Part of my street was only plowed to 1 car width. The plowed piles are solid ice. I have no idea what they're going to do if we get a foot of snow. I may just stay in my house until May.

Ravin Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 We got rain yesterday. First reason of the year, and it was lovely. Our spring break destination, OTOH, has an ice storm this weekend. It's supposed to be nice by the time we drive out, but I'm packing on the assumption the ice will be back by next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I hear you loud and clear. The main ridge board in our garage broke last weekend. the roof came down 7inches and the garage was 2 inches wider. Why it didn't all collapse only God knows. It's still standing, braced up and safe, but we are waiting a construction engineer opinion on how to proceed. DH spent 3 hours shoveling off the same roof last weekend, and between him and our son, 4 more yesterday. Came inside to shower and nap, and it started snowing. I mean seriously, 4 hours of shoveling, only one section of the roof is done, and it started snowing. BTW..if the snow and ice on the roof was the cause of the broken ridge board, every roof in West Michigan would be broke. Our's was a flawed design from the get go. But yeah, done with snow here.

hillfarm Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 If I were one of those competitive Moms, I would smile snarkily and say, "Why you poor dears...more snow? Such bad luck for you...no snow in my area now." If I were an honest Mom, I'd have to admit that we are currently being bathed in ice instead and I have developed a facial tick. I would also complain that the weather predictions for this afternoon are sleet and snow, then for this evening, snow and sleet. Tomorrow they're predicting snow only. (Like that's any relief) All of our previous snow did melt off. I was rather alarmed when I realized that our cars had been parking on a sheet of packed snow and ice about 5 inches thick. It brings to mind my Granny's old refrain, "Whether the weather is cold or whether the weather is hot, we'll weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether we like it or not."

Woodhaven Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Snow. Snow. Snow. Snooooooooooow. Phew. I feel better. I'm with you! It is around 50 degrees in our neighborhood right now (so I guess it is going to trend colder). But it is going to start raining, and they tell us we will get up to 12 inches or so of snow by the end of tomorrow!! We have had so much snow this winter!! I suspect we may have no power because of this storm. We were lucky the last time because it wasn't wet enough to weigh down the wires and trees. Not this time. It is going to start with freezing rain/ice and turn to snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It looks like we're only expecting light snow here this week, but I'm sick to death of this cold. It's around ten-thirty in the morning, and it's twelve below zero. Thirty-seven below with the windchill. I kind of wish I didn't have any errands to run today.

Jeannie in NJ Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 ok I usually like snow and don't mind shoveling BUT our area is calling for 10-14" starting tonight, snowing all day Mon, ending sometime late Mon afternoon or evening. I am having cataract surgery on my other eye Tues so as soon as the snow stops Mon evening I will be shoveling as we have to be leaving around 7 am Tues for the surgery and cannot be late.

Ottakee Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 We have embraced cross country skiing this year. It is about the only thing you can do outside unless you have a snowmobile. We are at 150+ inches for the year and temps about 15-25 degrees below normal. Our highs aren't even as high as our normal low temps. We do have hope though. In the 10 day forecast we have 2 days above freezing coming.........along with well below zero temps. We just need to moderate the thaw and not have a big sudden break up on the rivers and sudden melting of the snow as the frost line is so deep that many places are having frozen and burst water pipes.

Luanne Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah. I can totally relate. It is snowing here again too. They claimed it was only going to snow yesterday and wasn't going to get that cold. It is still snowing. It was in the single digits yesterday and got below zero last night. I don't know. Maybe the weather person's definition of cold and mine aren't the same. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm afraid the Snow Shield that has covered Middle TN all winter may be weakening. Chances are we will only end up with more ice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in NC Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I live near where the Potomac empties into the Chesapeake. My back porch thermometer read 68F. This evening, after sunset, it will start with ice/sleet then switch to snow, possible 3-7 inches. I am trying not to cry. I know you Northern Gals are laughing at us since you get this all the time.

SKL Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah, and I hear we have more coming this week. What is Mother Nature so pi$$3d off about? Global warming? My kids are finally coming around to the idea that not everything about winter is awesome. It only took until about the 10th time we almost hit a tree / pole / mailbox / stop sign / other car, thanks to the fact that the nearby city does not plow half of the roads. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie G Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I am SO over this winter. Over 70 inches of snow this winter. Last winter: 18 My gas bill to 'heat' the house is within ten dollars of my house payment. Average snowfall for March is 4.8 inches. On March 1st- yesterday- we got 4.6 inches. Spring is never coming. There is a 4 foot high wall of snow all around my parking area AND in front of my garage. Our snowplow guy said he'd move that pile from the front of the garage in a few weeks. Because it's too thick, high, and dense for him to move it now. Have I mentioned I am over winter?

Amber in SJ Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Our forecast is rain, rain and more rain. It is great because we need it. However, we do not need it all at once. It was not raining when we left the car in the library parking lot. When we returned to our car an hour later it was sitting in a mini lake. My 9yo dd was the only one wearing boots so the 16yo dd had to borrow said boots (yes, they wear the same size) and the water was over the feet of the boots and over her ankle by several inches so she could drive the car out onto dry land so the rest of us could get in. Also if we get our rainfall all at once we are not able to save enough of it. It all goes rushing down the creeks & rivers into the bay. Dh has scout training up in the Santa Cruz mts this weekend. We are also having wind gusts that are pushing my border collie across the backyard. It is making me a little crazy, but it isn't snow.
