Time to breakout the snow shovels.

Winter storm warning for my neighborhood 6 to 12 inches of snow on Wednesday

1. Yuck.

Not looking forward to winter at all. Don't mind the cold, just dislike snow/sleet/freezing rain.

[In_The_Wind]

2. If I could just stay home till the thaw I'd be happy.

I enjoy watching snow through the windows while I stay warm.

3. The shovels and snow blower at the line

Right now it's 60F here. Well, at least it's not boring.

[In_The_Wind]

4. It's 53° now. We sold the snowblower last year.

It was more trouble than it was worth now that we only have a small driveway to clear.

I'm going for a 200 mile drive today so a DUer won't be stuck in his 18 wheeler this Thanksgiving.

5. Stay safe, ITW!

To any DUers who are driving this holiday:

8. I'll be home before the first snowflake falls.

Now, if I can nail Mr ITW's shoes to the floor tomorrow, I'll be happy. He wants to go to work. I told him to ask for the day off if the gentleman he takes care of really doesn't need him.

6. Our driveway is o/a hundred feet long -- not our choice.

The rooster tail maker is essential.

What femmocrat said. Watch your hindquarters out there.

9. My old driveway seemed longer than that.

I miss it. Oh well. This place is half the size of our last home. It cost a lot less to heat.

10. Driveways are the only thing that grow in the winter n/t

14. Same Here

Not 100 feet, but we live on a corner and the garage is in the basement, so it comes off the sidestreet and curved and around 60 feet long.

But, there is a retaining wall on the right edge that is 4.5 feet high at the door and 2 feet high just before the street. So, picking up the snow over that is not an option.

Plus we have a parking area in front and the hydrant so i have to keep that area clean and that's around 90 feet by 14 feet.

No way i could do all that with a shovel.

16. That is often forgotten about during the Winter Festival

A place to put the snow. Whenever it's dumped, it will stay there until spring. By March you may have your own mini mountain range and heaving a shovel full of wet snow five feet into the air gets old half way down the driveway. Then the snowplow roars down the road and throws really wet gravel filled crap back into the drive.

Good thing I like it here

7. I'm impressed.

Even though I could never understand 'you people' and all your holidays, your taste in music and the noble gesture of taking another whiney American trucker 'off the air' (CB Complaint Channel) who thinks they shouldn't have to work on holidays and would rather bitch about that publicly than put some miles on....I hope you're not consorting with Be Essor.

Real truck drivers would rather be alone.

11. This trucker usually has his CB turned off.

He hates the BS also. He would rather listen to music as he drives.
Most of his loads are permitted so he wouldn't be working from noon tomorrow until next week. Us folks try to give non-professional drivers all the room they need to visit with friends and family in real life.

12. craps. just checked the weather report...

a couple days ago it said freezing rain on Thursday am.
yesterday it said some snow Wednesday afternoon/night.
Now it said 8-13" Wednesday afternoon and overnight.

I'm working at urgent care center (an hour away in good weather) Wednesday afternoon and evening.

Then at hospital Thursday from 7am to 3:30pm. Normally would leave for there at 6:30, but now will need to leave at 6:00 latest, after getting home if lucky by 9:30 or 10pm and dealing with the snow before bed.

I'm really pissed at the scheduler who stuck me with this. Not in mood to deal with road mess. Lots of steep hills and windy curves between here and both theres.

[magical thyme]

13. Hah! Maine!!! If you don't like the weather, wait a minute...

yesterday forecast said 3-5".

12:30ish today forecast said 3-5" Wednesday afternoon, 5-8" overnight and into Thursday am..

2:30is today forecast says rain to snow Wednesday afternoon. 3-5" total. Cloudy Thursday.

I'll take 2:30ish today, tyvm

craps. I just realized it still says 5-8" overnight when you open up the detail page. I'm back where I started in commuting hell.

18. My friend's app is forecasting up to 14 inches for higher elevations.

[magical thyme]

22. Our "heavy" snow starts at 5pm and continues until 10pm. Then lightens up to normal.

Of course, I leave work at 8pm, 3 hours into the "heavy" snow. It's normally an hour's drive, but
will be double that.

So the "heavy" snow will end right about when I finally get home and try to get my car in the driveway.

They're still predicting 8-12 here. It depends in part on how quickly it cools down. It's not going to get below freezing until late, so we may get rain ahead of it, and the first few hours may melt on contact until it comes down too fast to melt.

I just really, really, really wish I wasn't scheduled to drive through the worst part of it. And I doubly-really wish I didn't have to leave for work by 6 am tomorrow. Which reminds me...got to re-set the alarm clock now before I forget.

Oh, and we lost power for 3 days after our last heavy, wet foot of snow. And I lost an apple tree and probably my beautiful peach tree and possibly my lilac tree.

15. Snow? What's that?

[In_The_Wind]

17. Cold wet stuff.

Usually white ... sometimes yellow (Don't Eat Yellow Snow)

[Crewleader]

19. We had thunderstorms all day, and power out, off and on...

and our cold front will arrive when you receive your snow. Stay safe and warm my friend.

21. Thunder Bumpers!

I once recall back in the early 1980's a Thunder Snow Storm here. When it was over there were about 18" of snow on the ground. I was driving an orangish Pinto Wagon in those days and after a week or so of follow on snows and shoveling the drive way, you could only make out the top of the car as it went in and out.

20. Be safe!

23. Hopefully, it doesn't jog north when it hits

the hills around Binghamton. 'Cause right now it is supposed to bypass the Syracuse area.
