Just wanted to thank whoever in here was nice enough to be sending us 1-2 feet of new snow by end of Sunday night. We have enough now.....

I guess you can SORTA blame me. I got about a foot of snow here day before yesterday, courtesy of a blizzard sent here by North Dakota.......all I did was chase it back across the border

For the record, we are now sitting at over 5 FEET of the whitebleep and it aint spring by a long shot

I know what you mean - God was nice enough to melt about 2 feet of the snow last week and this week - so he's just replacing it now with fresh snow. lol

You are just being blessed with a new fresh white THICK blanket. All the snow in Chicago has melted for the most part this last week with temps in the fifties!!!! I would like to order just one more snow fall, I do like the white stuff. Just hate the shoveling part.....

I'm just glad we had a spring fever kind of week here in Denver after lots of snow and freezing temps! Whenever it snows here all you hear is "well, we need the moisture!", but I'm ready for some nice weather. So you can keep your snow! And please take the wind away while you're at it. Kthx.

Not to rub it in, but it's about 75 here today!

Now y'all know why I stay in Texas! I had enough of THAT all those years in Wisconsin! I miss my home state dearly, but I sure don't miss those winters!

I've never understood how someone couldn't like snow... I love the snow, and luckily we've been having some pretty heavy stuff lately. Today it is sunny, which is wonderful as well!

I am looking forward to summer, though, I can't wait to get my bike out of the garage!

I just finished moving the last of the mess from the storm....dont know how much I moved but was many tons.

I can't stand snow!! We have so much of it here! We are already in major flood preparation, and I'm sure I'll be on a 24 hour evacuation notice, again! From what we're told our flooding this year will be as bad or worse than it was in 1997 which they referred to as the "flood of the century". We even had to evacuate hospitals that were near the river.

I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba about 3 hours up the river from Grand Forks, ND. And here is what their snow accumulation looked like on February 5, 2011!!!!!!!!! When it melts, it's all coming my way! And I live on the bank of the river that it's coming down!

Holy crap!!! that is a LOT of whitebleep. It's as bad in cities here - the chief delight of living out in the country is the stuff only builds in drifts in the yards although that isnt much fun either.....I don't get out of the yard more than once in three weeks for groceries.

And I thought our piles were bad - this is almost unbelievable! Grand Forks I'm assuming is near the Red River in ND - and that's not good - they got flooded out a few years ago really bad - if this is coming down I'm sure it will hit Red River and Fargo/Moorehead in a horrible way.

Our cat show in Fargo is first weekend in April and I PRAY this doesn't start flooding Red River till after the show!

Whoever is in control of the weather has been doing some cool things lately. Here thunder lightning and snow the other night.

Went to Vermont today and it was snowing really hard, like a blizzard, but drive down the street, and it was bright and sunny!

Yes, Grand Forks is on the Red River, 3 hours south of where I live... at the fork of the Red River and Assiniboine River. When the Red River floods, it backs up down the Assiniboine, and I live 2 blocks from where they meet.

Here is an arial view of East Grand Forks from the 1997 flood. Their dikes failed, their city flooded and 3 blocks of buildings burned to the ground.

http://wn.com/Red_River_Flood_of_199...iews_of_Damage

Had it not been for our flood way which they opened to it's full capacity for the first time since it was built in 1968's (as a response to a serious flood in 1950), and an emergency dike that was built by the army and volunteers in a 2 or 3 day period, almost 1/2 of our city of 700,000 people would have looked like Grand Forks.

Scroll down a bit at this link, and you can see an arial view of the flood. It shows a normally 200 metre wide river, at more than 40 km wide during the flood.

They say that with all of the snow that we've gotten, and what is coming at us from the USA, the flooding will be as bad if nor worse, than 14 years ago.

Yeah! Me too! We had some serious snow falls when I was a kid, we usually do, but as a child you don't really pay attention to the bad part of all of that snow!

I remember as a kid literally being able to walk up a snow drift with my toboggan, and slide down from the roof top of our house. It was fun, but as an adult, I know my parents must have been freaking out about the snow levels.

Those weathermen lied - here I was hoping for a snowday w/ the 8 - 12" they were predicting. They changed their minds. Maybe 6".
