They are calling for snow here in Maryland today?

Hey, how appropriate is this?!? As soon as I submitted my above comment, MSNBC came on showing Washington DC saying "It's snowing at the White House!" and showing pictures of a great snowfall there. You're right in there, Kimbers, good luck with your snow wishes!! :)

I don't think I would want snow everyday. I like having the change of seasons. Have you lived in Alaska all your life?

Allatti2d, we got chipped out that snowstorm and then we were suppose to have one on Friday. It was about a 1/2 inch of snow then freezing rain, and then in the afternoon it warmed up and everything melted. The news people had it so hyped that it was going to be a significant storm. I was so bummed. Plus the sad thing was that they cancelled school, again. The reason is, I finally was told this by a principal, is that the Board of Educations are so worried that they are going to be sued if a bus as an accident that they would rather not take that chance and they just cancel school. So the kids have missed three days because of snow (actually freezing rain) this year. I can remember going to school (walking in high school and riding the bus in middle school) when it snowed. We flew to Anaheim back in the beginning of November and I remember flying over the Rocky Mountains. What a beautiful site with all the snow on the mountains. The Coors commercials don't do the mountains justice.

You are so right about our weather changing. I told Bob I want to move to Wisconsin or Minnesota instead of South Carolina, he told me "see ya". I remember sitting at my grandmother's house when I was younger and looking out her picture windows watching it snow. She lived on a hill, on a farm, and it was the most beautiful situation in the world.

I know what you mean :) That is why we don't get snow. lol

Thanks for sharing, that was so cool. Well we got chipped out of that snowstorm. Plus the one yesterday. I really am beginning to hate the jet stream. LOL

LOL Yvonne. We have three days to make up, which is sad because our school still doesn't have AC, we will in two years. The only time the State Superindent lets the schools slide is if there is a state of emergency called. Our local board of ed did build in some snow days, during the Easter Break, but they never take them away unless we have lots of days to make up.

actually the towns that are getting the days dropped... they had a state of emergency! lol....we are talking like 8 plus inches of snow... then we had winds...or should I say THEY....closed highways for a couple days!!! so yeah things these peeps were not use to! lol

You know what they say about weather in MD... if you don't like it just wait a few minutes... it's sure to change.

Two storms, both were busts. The last one, last Friday, turned to rain - it was so sad. I'm not listening to the weather people anymore.

Supposedly the storm we were suppose to have yesterday was suppose to bring a lot of ice but the temps got too high. Our last bad ice storm was in 1996, I will never forget it. My husband was trying to get his work truck around his car and he nudged the front bumper and he watched his car go down our hill backwards. Thank God, it veered into our neighbor's yard or he would have been buying a boat. LOL We live on a hill and many of times we have parked at the bottom of the hill so we wouldn't get stuck. So I can sympathize with you.

A tree fell on my car. That is awful about your car rolling down the hill. I would not have been able to watch it. I would have covered my eyes.

Thankfully, I had already gone to work, so I didn't see it. I can just imagine it. Wow, a tree on your car, that's bad!

Managing the cold is not a problem, here in Maryland. Expensive but not a problem. We have electric baseboard heaters that we run in three of our bedrooms. For the rest of the house we have a pellet stove, think fireplace that is continually feed with wood pellets. We have had one time during one winter where there was lots of ice and it brought electric lines down through a big part of the county. Luckily we had a gas powered generator that we hooked up and got our pellet stove running.

Yes, we are lucky. That is one of the reason's I don't want to move to the Southern US is because I would miss the snow. I like having four seasons.

Well we were ripped off again! Where in Baltimore are you? I live in Harford County, right off of Route 40. Yes, traffic is always bad when it snows. My husband called out yesterday when they were saying the roads were bad. He has plenty of vacation time. His boss was okay with it, but when it all turned to rain I kept telling him he should go in for at least a half day, LOL.

When we do get snow, it might last a day or two and then it is gone. Maryland's weather is so crazy.
