<p>What are we, in *****ng Alaska or something?? What’s with all this snow??
(NYC metro)</p>
<p>Yeah we just got another foot or so. I feel like it’s been snowing every three days. Oh wait, it has. I’ve had five late starts at work over the past 3 weeks!</p>
<p>I was going to post what the weather’s been like for the past few weeks here but I realized it probably wouldn’t make you feel any better so I refrained.</p>
<p>Thank you uscd<em>ucla</em>dad, I was already thinking California looks pretty good about now.</p>
<p>D told me on the phone that it was MINUS 30 over the weekend at her school. Yeesh!</p>
<p>We had -10 here this week. </p>
<p>And we have at least two feet of snow on the ground.</p>
<p>We had 10 inches of snow last night and we are running out of room to put it.</p>
<p>It’s La Nina. I saw it on the news the other night. Good to know why I can’t get out of my driveway three days a week or reach the mailbox.</p>
<p>Greetings from Snowberia.</p>
<p>Don’t really care if it’s La Nina, La Pinta or La Santa Maria…</p>
<p>it’s a pain in the “tuches” (haha; will the mods know what the yiddish term tuches translates to and delete it??)…</p>
<p>and, to add insult to injury, the sun stays out for maybe 5 minutes a day…can anyone say, “seasonal affective disorder”…</p>
<p>no offense to holliesue, but if I wanted grey 24-7, I would have lived in…Binghamton</p>
<p>Wow! So hard to fathom what you’re going through. It was sunny and 66 degrees here today.</p>
<p>global warming…err…I mean climate change</p>
<p>My entire body hurts from shoveling the driveway today. We’ve had so much snow recently that it’s impossible to just push the snow away. You have to lift it up and throw it over the snow banks in order to clear the driveway.</p>
<p>Our local weather guys called it La Ninja! :)</p>
<p>忍者 ???</p>
<p>Oh Rodney…that is a hysterical post!!</p>
<p>You know what it is here? It’s a New England winter. Trouble is…we haven’t really had them recently…winters have been less snowy…but this is a real NE winter.</p>
<p>eptr–At least you <em>have</em> a mailbox. We live on the state highway and every year I swear they put a target sign on them and see how many they can hit. H designed it a few years ago so it gives on impact. We go find it 20’ away and then reassemble it for the next hit.</p>
<p>Last night we got 20" of snow, on top of the 3-4" we got yesterday. And then, on top of the 6-9" we got last week that didn’t melt because it was -7 degrees (and on top of the 12" before that). In fact, we’ve had at least one snow day off from school each week since the December 26th blizzard, plus one morning delay each week. Our schools have already canceled our April break and threatening to stay in classes until the start of next school year, July 10th. All together, we’ve had over 60" freezing inches of snow AND it’s still only January!</p>
<p>^^^and you must live in the lovely state of the nutmeg;</p>
<p>regards from the garden state; we feel your pain!!!</p>
<p>“So hard to fathom what you’re going through.”</p>
<p>Not so hard. There’s thirty inches of snow on the roof, and snow is piled six feet high on both sides of the driveway. And oh, our public schools will run to June 30th this year due to the number of “snow day” cancellations we’ve had. (At least we don’t have Houston’s summer humidity!)</p>
<p>“only” four snow days here. We got a note today letting us know that only 2 more and then we dip into April vacation. Our last day off school even WITH two more snow days would be June 17…not bad. Guess that will be our last day regardless because we’ll have less April vacation. Fine with me. No AC at our school.</p>
<p>I live on a hill. When I leave my house and drive down the driveway, I feel just like a pinball. The snow is at least five feet on each side of the driveway, made very narrow by the snowplow driver. Once you start down the hill…there is no turning back. You must go to the main road - where my mailbox and paper box are both under a mound of snow. I am not having any fun.</p>
