Is weather reporting getting any better? They are so far off with the snow over here in VA. It's not even funny. School and my work had been screwed up because, of this.

I would guess that you weren't supposed to get snow. 1 to 3 inches ain't much for us but you guys will have trouble. :no

As we speak, we are in the midst of a blizzard. It is coming down at the rate of one inch an hour and we are expecting 8 inches or so. That is a lot for Philadelphia. We did have one earlier this Winter that exceeded that.

Yep philey, you and a lot of others are getting socked hard. It's tough in a city when you get that much, even here. Glad I live in the "sticks" where the plows just shove the snow to the side of the road and you don't have to shovel out the car and everyone has a driveway. Had enough of that pleasure. :no

I think we got the the 3-5 as predicted... and there is finally snow on my street!

My cuz said the other roads are bad though... just this neighborhood was in good shape

Hopefully we get the other 1-3 tonight!!

Boy I wish I had my truck to go for a drive :(

That's about right Neuro. The darker blues on the doppler are going between New York an Atlantic city. Enjoy it! ^*^

WEll I just went for a little drive :) Had to get me some more Wawa vanilla coffee

Got a big bag of 8o'clock here but it just aint cutting it...

Roads are a little bad if you are driving an escort with balding tires.. but basically I had to tromp on the brakes to slide, but spinning out was a little too easy to do...

Man... I : :flirt the snow

Snow, snow! its in the 70's here and the "Cajun Snow" guys are all opening up. But thats the only snow I have seen. LOL I do believe that something was being moved around by the shovel full, but it werent no snow.
I covet your snow.
