Need a sled and a 10 yr. old body again. We had a beautiful snow storm today and it's not finished yet. The snow began at 10 this morning and the prediction is it won't end until tomorrow. Total amount predicted is between 4 and 11 inches. I didn't have to go out in it today which is why I think it's so pretty. I stayed off the streets? Anyone else get snow today or is expecting snow tonight or tomorrow?

I wish we were getting snow instead of this ice storm! We could get 2-3 inches of ice and freezing rain. Thankfully I don't have to drive in this. If I did, I would be cancelling many of my clients. No way do I risk life and limb to drive on bad roads.

I usually drive to town to pick up my work schedule for the weekend. Today I will be calling in.

We haven't had much snow at all this year in Indiana. We haven't had enough to get a sled out or make a snowman or anything. We are supposed to have a wintery mix tonight do no telling what we will end up with.

We have just ahd a little here and there to make the roads nasty and that is about it. I am ready for spring and summer now if we aren't going to get enough to enjoy.

Feb 1, 2008, predicting freezing rain from 10AM today to 5AM tomorrow morning, but it looks like snow to me! Like I said, we get what you get unless some kind of change takes place, we just get it hours later. Wish they had told us snow, there were runs on the stores last night and I won't be going into work tonight because there won't be any business. Take care and keep comfy!

We have something in common: I share our nasty weather with you and I also work on Friday nights. So does this make us cousins? lol
We ended up with 6 inches of snow and I might add, it was heavy. I shoveled last night. My husband had his turn this morning. He did a better job.
Stay warm,

LOL too funny, I'm several hours behind on this discussion but we're getting the snow today and all schools in the area were canceled. Needless to say I've had a 16 year old with ADHD home all day - just as I read your discussion he came in and said, "Mommmm I think you need to get dressed really warm and come out and pull me around on the sled."
No, we have a gator here so I'd drive pulling him behind it but now he's clearing trails as I told him I'm not leaving the house until I get this room painted.

The last time I took out a sled to go with our kids, I was about 40. I dove on the sled just like they did and the next day I had bruises from my knees to my waist...lol This is why I need a 10 yr. old body again.
We have loads of schools closed today. The snow quit very early this morning and came your way.
Thanks for responding,

Oh you wouldn't get this lady on a sled these days - can't remember the last time I did but I'm happy just watching, perferably from inside :)
LOL - New Years Eve I took 2 grandkids out (we got a huge storm and they were spending the night). We made snow angels and a snowman and I felt that the next day.
It's still snowing here but I don't think we're going to get the 12 inches they were talking about - we're at maybe 6 now and it's just a real light snow.
