How many DUers are snowed in

Damn I was just watching the Weather Channel - the sun is shining here. :D

:hi:

I'm in Maine.

Her in laws are from Maine. They were planning to head there for Christmas.

and more on the way.

but that's enough to keep my motorcycle off the road! :cry:

:hi:

:D

It is so quiet and peaceful.. almost like there is no outside world

but it's 80 degrees approaching sunset. It will be much cooler in two hours.

never sit in a snow covered home...you do not know silence in a home.. It is like several layers of insulation that shuts out the outside.

I am a person that loves the seasons..all of them .

I like 80 very much.. but I also like 20 and white snow..

Never again. It was beautiful the first time. :D

Happy holiday!

Check this out - it was posted earlier this week

i have shared the smile with dog lovers that have been telling me they can not get their dogs out..

by another DUer. It's really sweet.

Exactly what it looks like outside my door now... and we have pugs (not quite so athletic:)

Okay I love snow days and all, but I'm gettin a little cabin fever. I can only walk over to Gasworks Park so many times to watch the sledding! :) I got some great photos today, however.

:P

or W's! :rofl:

:rofl:

:D

winter sucks

10 inches or more and 40 mph winds blowing the shit all over the damn place.

You may get a snow day tomorrow.

woohooo
I know one thing..my dog poops really fast in this weather.

the wind is finally dieing down to a steady 20-25 mph.

We had over 8" of snow on Friday, and it looks like we're getting about that much again today.

I live in Western NY

Irish coffee :D

What is this snow of which you speak? :7


:hi:

:D

...between pendleton and the dalles. :(

Damn. Can't imagine the folks stuck in airports.

...too damn cold. -3 with windchill something like 20 below. Most of our snow (5") came Tuesday. Another 2" on Thurs day and some last night. I was able to get from home to O'Hare and back last night. More snow is supposed to be on the way tonight.



EDIT: I hate when I don't respond to the OP.

Anyone baking?

to make the Christmas fudge for my boys...

the only request in this lean year...

We buy a lovely rum and coffee fudge from the craft shop. It's as good as mine or better. I just mailed several boxes to my siblings. They adore it.

Don't know about that, but I'm about baked--more Irish Coffe please :+

It's so cold that the ink in her pen is frozen. She needs more than Irish coffee. :D

Wonder if it will open. We got about a foot of new snow last night. We're in Central Oregon. Very cold here but no wind.

where there's no snow. :D

:thumbsup:

It's been snowing since early Friday afternoon. At least now it's raining.

My nose running and my toes in pain. I'll pass. :D

It must be a real mess there now. Good luck.

wind chills down into the 30-40`s but not as much snow as madison wisconsin. if this keeps up we`ll have another year of bad floods down the rock river watershed.

the coldest wind chill where i`m at was -70 in 1977-8. it went below 32 degrees on thanksgiving and never reached 32 until the middle of february. if i remember correctly there were 21 days that never reached 0....

the next year we received 85 inches of snow....

i know you`d like to spend a few months in the northern parts of the usa in the winter....

oh yes the sun is shining here too...but it`s shining through 30mph winds and powder

I had three New York winters and I made the mistake of visiting Toronto in the middle of winter. Every year one of my sisters and my brother offer me free tickets to spend Christmas with them. I have the same response - see you in summer or meet me at the Florida sibling's home. Better you than me. :rofl:

i`d be in your part of the world sitting on a beach....B-)

between now and April/May. We really hate that cold water. Wish I was rich - I'd send you a ticket. :D

Blew through 3' drifts this morning but NWS says we only got 4".....and 30-35 mph winds.....

central Wisconsin.....

Madison, WI has the most creative liberals in the world!!!!!

:hi:

:D

hell we had flood warnings /watch on the rock river around rockford,dixon ,and rock island. yes madison folks are creative....

Where is Bainbridge Island?

from Seattle, WA....

I spent the afternoon shoveling snow off the roof. There's at least 2 and a half feet on the ground where I am. Snowed hard today. Snowed hard yesterday and snowed the day before that.

Snowed in.


Have some hot chocolate.

A little Grand Marnier wouldn't be amiss.

I had some one October in Denmark and my throat is still in shock :D
I can see why they drink that though.

Not snowed in, though. If we had to, we could get out. Fortunately, we don't have to!

20+ inches since Friday. Trees laden with snow, air crisp and still. Absolutely beautiful. Love the winter. Made cranberry-orange bread and popcorn for my blue jays.

Nothing like the holidays in the Kingdom (and nearby)

It is gorgeous indeed now that the woodshed is filled.

~PEACE~

about 12 to 15 inches, and the sparrows are cuddled together in the bushes, and chickadees and a few cardinals in the trees, as I shovel the drive and walks below. Very fluffy snow because it has been cold. I like it!

Yeeeehaaawwww.

Enjoy! :D

Never.

our nights are getting colder every year. Who knows - snow on the blue mountains may not be far off. :D

:D

We had about a foot of snow dumped on us Thursday. Then we had another couple inches yesterday, and the wind was blowing so hard that it was blowing snow around to the point that it was a whiteout. The winds are supposed to be dying down now, but there's now a wind chill warning - we're expecting wind chills of -30 to -40. I'll go to start my car tomorrow and it'll probably tell me to get f--ked.

a snow day off. :D

got the most snow 16", but that was last night. I haven't been out since Friday.

for sure. :hi:

a flash-freeze with wind. I don't mind the weather, but I love electricity.

It rained six straight days - and I'm allergic to mold. I was miserable. Today's the first day I have taken a deep breath in days.

I still have the dehumidifier going in the basement, though, because the ground looks like a mud wrestling arena. The dogs were so happy just go out running on the back deck (it's elevated as my house is built on a hill - the first floor in the front is the second floor in the back. We have three stories). We put them out there to do business when it's too muddy - and then just scoop up or pour water on the, uh, mess. They've been cooped up in the basement for six days (it's a full sized, finished, heated basement/rupus room - no worries - they just like to go outside and smell and bark and all that dog stuff).

It's been pretty miserable in Knoxville, TN. I'd rather have snow. It hasn't done more than dusted snow here since the Blizzard of 1993.

Is it cold as well? Damn! Hot chocolate for you. :D

It was 65 degrees the whole time. Mold weather. :(

It got cold tonight, though. The cloud cover broke, so the humidity left into the atmosphere.

another barefoot Xmas maybe.(SC)

It's coming down more now. I mapped out a bus route for work tomorrow because I'm not driving in this. I almost got hit a few times the other day driving to work by drivers sliding all over the road.

Snow day coming :D

-5 Wind Chill -30 3.5 ft. of snow on ground. Official First day of winter
:scared:

Look at snow. Stay warm. :D

left the Bay Area Weds to drive to our cabin on Vancouver Island. Me, blind dog and deaf cat in a 19ft Toyota Winnebago - husband flew up a week ago. I've been stuck in an rv park just south of Florence Oregon (Woahink Lake)since Friday - roads north a few miles are snowed in and passes over to I5 ditto. Portland is a nightmare of snow, ice and accidents. So, I'm hunkered down, listening to audio books on my Ipod and playing computer games. Thank god this place has wifi or I'd be going nuts!!

Really good chance I won't make it to Van Isle for xmas. I was to be cooking for 8-10 at our place and have all the food with me - hope they all have a plan 'B' :)

Currently as black as night here with monsoon like rain/hail and very high winds - all falling as snow a few miles east and north of me.

I'm warm, dry and comfy but boy do I have 'cabin fever'!!!

It would be nice to go to the grocery store, but it's not going to happen for at least a couple of days. :cry:

I should also mention that it is still snowing.

Julie

You're definitely snowed in. Stay warm. :hi:

Another foot and a half so far (on top of 18" yesterday), and still floating down. • Where did I put the snowshoes?!

I hope we aren't gonna lose power for days on end again =(

StudsT

Fingers crossed.

well, so far anyways... toes-crossed =)

:hi:

StudsT

The roads are crappy though, so we are hanging inside.

Fortunately we have not lost power.

even further. Have your favorite drink. :D

Of course there is already snow on the ground and it will probably be here until May but the last few weeks have been warm(relatively), no snow and the sunrises have been gorgeous!

:D.

snow tomorrow as well.

But I had heard from someone with a Farmer's Almanac that this is supposed to be a long and snowy winter, so I wasn't surprised when it showed up.

Stay warm.

I live outside of Seattle. If we had to get out, we'd put chains on the car. Most of what we need is within walking distance. Most of the town was open when we went out this morning! The lights keep browning out though - I'm worried about losing power!

but my son and his wife tried to leave Boston for San Diego yesterday and could not leave until today. They were re-routed Boston-St Louis-San Diego and will be home tomorrow at noon instead of last night at midnight - snow, tech difficulties and - get this - not enough pilots?

Anyway, I am excited - I can't wait to see my 26 year old baby boy!!!
kp

and I got another flight scheduled for the 23rd. This sucks.

Oh well at least I'm not stuck in the airport. That would have REALLY sucked.

I had trouble getting out of bed this morning 'cuz it's -3 in Chicago! :boring:

:evilgrin:
