[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. I'm waiting......

Here in the DC environs - fifteen minutes across the river from the White House - it's cold, and a few flakes fell a while ago, but, so far, NOTHING!!!!

I WANT SNOW, DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[malaise]

5. Bet you change your tune by

tomorrow night :hi:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. Bet it's already changed............

Just looked out the window.

The snow has begun. Deceptively light, but my experience is that the biggest storms always start like this, almost hesitantly.

I am happy.

:hi:

[Nay]

9. Wait an hour or so, Tangerine. It's snowing like hell in Richmond.

We've got 2-3 inches already after only 2 hours, and it's still coming down. Snow day tomorrow!! I can catch up on my sewing!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. It just started here in Alexandria!

It's looking sweet, I must say.

Enjoy your snow day!

:toast:

[malaise]

15. Should state and local governments waste tax payers money

and clear the snow? Isn't that socialism?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

18. No, it's all right, because

here in Virginia, the rich people get their streets cleared first.

And then they all go skiing!!!

[malaise]

19. LOL

You owe me a key board. :rofl:

[malaise]

13. Enjoy the day

:D

6. We need it desperately here in the southwest

We haven't had any measurable precipitation since December.

That is going to mean this year's fire season will be a very bad one.

[marybourg]

16. In Phoenix area we had a very rainy Dec and Jan and now

they say *we're* going to have a bad fire season because of all the new growth! When it gets hot hot, as it does here, the new growth will dry up and become tinder. We can't win! (I used to live just N of Albuquerque)

[tekisui]

7. It's been snowing all day here in Western NC.

It has just dipped below freezing, so the roads are starting to get white. The trees and lawns have been white all day. They are saying we could get 4 inches by tomorrow morning. Time to play and take pictures, and stay off the roads.

8. Ready in Raleigh!

[Mist]

10. I lived in Atlanta for a decade. During that time we had a couple of major snowfalls. And

there was precisely ONE snowplow for all of Fulton County!

[Elwood P Dowd]

14. We had close to 4 inches in East Alabama.

There was some thunder snow this morning. Weird having thunder and lightening with snow falling. A similar storm with thunder snow came through here in March 1993. That one had twice as much snow as this one.

[malaise]

20. 1993?

That's like 16 years ago!!

[Elwood P Dowd]

21. That's the last time we had snow, thunder, and lightening - thunder snow.

We've had a few other snowfalls, but nothing like 8 inches and thunder snow. It's usually 65-70 degrees here in March.

[malaise]

23. Wow! n/t

[Nay]

26. I was in Alabama for that snowfall! (NE, near Ft Payne). Electricity

was out for 4 days, everything at a standstill, because the snow was 18" deep and drifts were deeper. On the 3rd day, the National Guard came through, asking if everybody was OK. I was--had a gas heater, and plenty of canned food. Plus nice neighbors with one of those wood stoves that you could heat food on. It sure was pretty, and fun, too. I remember the thunder and lightning that day--the only time that has ever happened to me.

17. still sleeting in Winston-Salem

very, very windy. Want. Big. Flakes. NOW!!111

[Elwood P Dowd]

22. You might get them late tonight according to Weather Underground.

Tonight

Widespread snow or sleet early this evening...then snow late this evening and overnight. Total snow accumulation of 4 to 6 inches. Blustery with lows in the mid 20s. North winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

[conscious evolution]

24. A little over 4" in downtown Atl

where I live.
Big fat wet snowflakes.

Haven't seen this much snow since I got busted that time.:silly:

[EraOfResponsibility]

25. and it's headed this way to DC
