Oh you should have seen around here in in Feb. 01, we had two different snowstorms two weeks in a row that gave us 2 feet each. The first one was worse and we got around 28 inches then. The town was shut down for half a week after the first one and there was no one on the road for a few days. The was the most snow I have ever seen. Snow piles on the side of the road that were like 10 feet high, it was crazy. But of course you don't hear of how bad things are unless it happens in a big city.

I don't think it's that as much as that you're in New Hampshire. It's supposed to snow a lot up there.

Wow, this afternoon I saw that NY was up to 1.5" with the major band having gone through already and thought that they'd make the top 10 and not have another foot+ on top of that. Take one part cold artic air and add it to two parts warmer than normal ocean water (sound familiar?) for a great winter fairyland. Have a nice day off for everyone who doesn't have to be anywhere.

Ahhh....so it's your fault!

This thing was so big and powerful that it actually had an eye. It was very clear in a satellite photo. It looked like a hurricane.

Man, here I am in the mountains and we only got a few inches

I think in Millville, NJ we got maybe 6 or 8 inches of here.

We don't get that stuff as often as you think around here. We have been getting like one two storm a year recently but I can't remember one last year and not one this year so it has been a few years since that happened and before that remember none. When it did happen it was a record here so it just as uncommon here as in those big cities.

Grumble grumble. I want snow too but we haven't had even a decent heavy sprinkle in about the last four months. When things started turning cold for the winter we got one day of snow but you couldn't even have fun in it there was so little. We are under a burn ban and have been for just about as long. Imagine that in the dead of winter. At least it has started coming down out of the 50's 60's and 70's and they are saying we might finally get some rain and maybe even some flurries by next weekend, but..............I've heard that before.

Ya man, it's too dry out there. Those temps are insane for OK in winter.

Joann and augie, here in Scotland this Winter has been much like your neck of the woods. This is the first year i can remember when we have had so little snow. Usually at this time i'm shovelling my drive, but instead it's mild and wet. Very unusual for us.
