6-8 inches of snow is what they said but I sure hope not I already planted some ice-pansies... maybe they should be called snow-pansies now

Well let me tell you, living about 15 minutes south of Lake Erie here in Cleveland, we get bombed with the lake effect crap all the time. I'm so sick of this I could scream. Enough is enough already Mother Nature......get off our backs!

Those snow pansies sure are cute!

It's snowing further down in the SI! I agree why is Mother nature punishing us this weekend?

Rita,

I wish all I had planted were pansies. I have already started with perinnials - planted some bleeding hearts and coral bells. The hostas and ferns are peaking out of the ground, too. Oh,well..

My hosta are coming up too Chris. I am hoping they'll be ok!

Ack! My hostas too! The ferns? Well, I don't think anything will kill them. I am also watching the other early blooming flowers. I got some annuals to plant and a few perrenials - but they are nice and snug in the garage.

I drove down to Mansfield today for a bridal shower. It was raining/wet snow down there, but as soon as I hit 480 the roads were slushy and really slippery. And idiots were driving in a low-visibility situation with no headlights. Grrr. I'm not going *anywhere* tomorrow.

today we had goofy weather.. we're working on painting johns house and were going to do some more today because it was seminice but on my way over it started POURING and half way here it started pea size hailing!! Finnegan was NOT a happy kitty siting at a stop light in the hail! Then it started lightning and thunder!!

I definitely had to scrape off my car when I got off work. This is crazy. I was wearing a tank top and capris a few days ago! Someone at work joked that "if you don't like the weather in Indiana, wait a few minutes."

I know!!!!!! I cannot believe this crappy ohio weather. I had a tank top on at the beginning of the week and now I am digging out my huge winter coat again. I even went in and turned my heating blanket on in my bed. Man, go away winter!!! This winter has been horrible IMO.

Ahhhh the glories of living in Florida. But then that also means we'll all be staring at maps like this in a very short while:



I lived in Tennessee all my life until moving here a couple of years ago. Nobody in TN knows how to drive in the snow so when it was coming, you knew to pack in for a few days. My husband is from Alaska and wants to move back there.

Um, no.

Oh the weather outside is frightful, having a foot of snow in spring is soooo delightful. No electricity, no water and nothing to do, LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW!!!!! Well, it is still snowing. I did lose power, but for now, it is back on. But, if it keeps this up and all this wind, who knows how long it is going to last. Trees down, power lines down...it's a beautifull day in the neighborhood.

John, have you taken Amber & Boris out to play in it?

Yep, I keep eyeing the trees - and I keep going out to shake the snow off of my one and only evergreen. We've lost power, but only for a few seconds each time (knock on wood!) And it doesn't look like it is going to stop before 4 am tomorrow.... or later.

We went out eariler and tree limbs and trees were down everywhere.

Hopefully Susie is doing OK - haven;t heard from her today - getting a little worried.

Not yet, I really should however. I know how much they love the snow.

I"m here Trace! Luckily no power outages for us. 3 weeks ago we lost it for 3 days and that was plenty!! But we do have at least 6-7 inches of snow and it's still coming down fast and furious! This is just downright sickening!!! Ive heard next weekend is supposed to be 67, so Im concentrating on that right now! LOL

ugh its snowing here now.. i dont thing its suposed to accumulate though. sorry to all of you who have lost power!!! its a good thing its not bad here because having the reef tank with no electricity causes HORRID worrying!!! lol I hope its not slippery out though since i have on my new 17" rims and racing tires :-o

We had a dusting of snow on the ground here in TN this morning. We really didn't get much in the way of snow this winter though. Really wasn't that cold either. It's certainly different than what I was used to in the mtns of WV.

Never get tired of snow? Susie and I can find you a house in our area - the more the merrier! My power has been out for about 3 hours.... we have bird cages covered, all drapes drawn and a fire going in the fireplace. I have first watch (for the fire) so I am playing with my laptop with verizon wireless access..... I forgot to charge it last night though, so Only about 2-3 hours juice time.
