Lots...and we are supposed to get more. It took two of us about 25 minutes to get the car cleaned off this morning. There was a ton of snow and ice on it.

no snow here (at least not anymore--see my previous thread "snow in the south") In fact I wore capri's and a short sleeved shirt yesterday! My out side thermometer read 90F yesterday! I wish I could come visit all of your snow though!!

SNOW????? 13.5 inches!!!OMG!!! never ever, today in Texas, was 60, wind was really cutting, and tonight it is probably in the 30's close to 40's! But day before yesterday, it was 80's! Everybody stays sick from this crazy weather!
I hate it! but I really can't imagine dealing with that much snow! only if we could keep electricity, and I had a four wheel drive, our area would literally
shut down! no one would leave their house, no school! panic sets in here!!!

None. It has been like this most of the winter and when there is snow, it's just enough to make cycling inconvenient but not enough to be pretty.

Well we had a warm up last week so a bunch melted and with the blowing wind I'm not quite sure how much is actually on the ground. But for the winter season so far we have gotten 57 inches. And February/March are the more snowy months so of course much more to come!! The driveway is clear of snow again but that doesn't last too long.

We completely missed all that snow that southern Wisconsin got though.
The ski hills/trails and snowmobilers are very happy this year however!!

This is bizarre - I watched the news and it seems like everyone in Canada and the US is getting heaps of snow...except for us! It's a little cloudy here but we've just had cool with sun or cloud and rain. I'm not complainin'

Oh Im so sick of snow! Its a pain in the butt! Right now we probably have at least a couple feet in the back yard, and thats after some of it melted!! Im lucky though, my gpa's buissness has a plow truck, so when my DH is gone (almost always) someone comes at the butt crack of dawn and plows my driveway to make sure I can get out and get what is needed for the kids, and Angel to school and stuff! It rocks! I can't wait for spring though... Angel kept saying this summer that she wished it would snow! Now she keeps wishing for spring and I keep picking on her about the fact its all her fault we got snow in the first place!!

Wow, none! That must be very unusual for Finland?

Where I am now we have no snow either!
Looks like I picked a great winter to go to New Zealand!


Oh, yeah, sorry to all the Canuks still stuck there dealing with the white stuff....

I don't know - I am on the southern west coast (wet coast) so don't get much snow here. I spent 3 years on the prairies and almost went mental with all the cold and snow. I think the people in the snowy places just live a different lifestyle and if it's all you know/have grown up with, then you get used to it. I grew up on the coast so I'm not used to the snowy lifestyle so couldn't adjust...

I wonder how people in Alaska, Yukon etc survive it...

I'm getting so tired of snow. It took me an hour to drive 25 miles to school today! That's INSANE!!!!
If you were in the Los Angeles area it might take you just as long to drive that distance... without any snow!

Well that is a good question......

There is a good 4-5 feet of snow in my backyard right now.

The banks along the driveway and streets are at least 5.5 feet because I can't see over them and that's how tall I am..

In other words Lots, lots, lots and still lots after that.

We are under a winter storm warning and by noon tomorrow they are predicting an accumulation of 3-6 inches of snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

It started about 5 hours ago and we have about 2 inches and sleet is falling right now. I can hear it hit the windows.

I have been tired of snow since 1977.
