We're joining the snow "fun" - blizzard warning!

It's not snowing yet, but we're supposed to get a foot by tomorrow. I'm not one of those people who - at this point in my life LOL - enjoys the snow!

I'm with you hun! We're supposed to get hit bad tonight and tomorrow, and I fully intend to work from home tomorrow. Time to hibernate!

We do need to go get eggs and sugar so I'll be able to make brownies.

I love snow but I'm so sick of it now

We've been REALLY lucky and pretty much avoided it so far this year! We've had flurries here and there, and a touch of snow on the ground that didn't need shoveling and melted the next day.

Apart from the snow - I'm just REALLY not into the wind, gusting up to 40mph. I didn't wear gloves putting food and water out for the ferals this morning, and my fingers were nearly numb within just a couple of minutes. And, of course, we worry about the kitties. I'm pretty sure this is the first winter for three of them.

I know how you feel about the ferals....but they have eachother for body warmth at least. And you feeding them is wonderful.. I did it for many years.

I saw on the weather you guys were in for some snow. Its going to warm up here this week mid 40's and rain. Man, we could use a break.

Stay safe everyone.

We only feed as long as we're TNRing too.

As to the weather... we're that place in NJ where when on New York weather reports they say "there will be more accumulation north and west of the city."

My grandma was telling me as much as she loves snow, she hates the wind as well.

I'm enjoying the 5½" of snow we got here in NC (and it's flurrying down in the Charleston area), but wouldn't mind another foot It would guarantee me an extra day off from work

Stay safe

We're supposed to get a ton of snow tonight. I can't wait! I'll finally be able to see Luna and Midnight's reactions!!!

Stay warm and safe ....

It's been snowing for about 45 minutes here. We're due to get at least 8-12". Glad I'm on vacation this week, so I don't have to drive anywhere today or tomorrow!

I'm enjoying being comfy indoors right now. I've started a fire, and made a big pot of chilli!

Stay safe & warm and try to enjoy the snow

Join the club! This was in yesterday's NYT: Bundle Up, It’s Global Warming
I guess that means snowier winters for lots of people.

Well, we got to the store, got a little bit of shopping done - and THEN Gary noticed the lines! (He doesn't usually come inside with me). Major panic attack later, we're home having not gotten a lot of stuff - including bread.

Interestingly, the store is only about 10 miles away, but there was more snow on the ground within about a mile of where we live than in town.

There were kitty foot prints heading to the RV from the woods and then under the porch from the RV (we have under the porch protected from the wind), so someone was by for another meal while we were out.

Glad you have your priorities straight!

Hope you and all the kittys stay warm and safe.

And for those who enjoy the snow hope you have fun

Same here - oh, I don't mind a little dusting, its pretty, it doesn't stick to the roads, and it goes away quick. We got about 6.5 right now, started last night and snowed most of the day. I think its stopped now. The problem I have is that any little bit of snow just brings everything to a screeching halt. And people just don't seem to know how to drive in it - despite most of us in this area being transplants from the north.

Oh well, I didn't really have anywhere I needed to go today, but I hope I can get out tomorrow to at least get a few groceries that I didn't get last week.

Good luck with your snow - hopefully you won't get as much as a foot and it will clear out quick

It is strange - we're not the type to run to the store because there's a storm coming (normally). But snow - and sometimes lots of it - is normal up here. They were already salting the roads on our drive home, and the snow plows are lined up under the highway overpass.... everyone knows how to deal with it! So it was weird to see the store so packed!

I am so glad I am not the only one bewildered by that...lol..

WOW! Over 400 buses got stranded in NY, cars are stranded everywhere all over the highways - they're just getting some of them out now. Snow drifts from the wind are up to five feet. They got over 20 inches in CENTRAL PARK, and JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports are all still CLOSED. As of 8:30am this morning, one of the major highways from NJ to NY hadn't even been plowed yet!

I think the problem this time was not that it's "just" snow - it was blizzard conditions in a lot of places a lot of the time. Gusts were up to 60mph, and sustained winds were 20+ mph.
