I hope you won't have to venture out until it's over.

(180 posts)8. Hey, send some of that snow my way!
I'm in Emporia Kansas and we haven't had a decent snowfall yet this year. There were 2 big snowstorms south of us, several big snowstorms north of us, and when we were finally in the direct path, we got a lousy 3 inches while other parts of the state got 6+. Now, a stupid ridge is in place that's keeping all the snowstorms in the eastern US and leaving the west and central US in a drought. So far this winter has been a joke here.
