Aimless1 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Up until yesterday (yes, the last day of January, '09) we only had 6 HOURS total of above freezing temperatures for the entire month of January. Thats only 6 out of 720 hours above freezing for one day shy of an entire month. Since the wet snow off Lake Michigan generally feezes before I get home from work to remove it, I now have the fun job of removing the frozen snow/ice layer that has been growing on my driveway. At least with temps at or above freezing the job amounts to more than removing ice blocks. Did about 1/3 of the drive yesterday and another 1/3 today. Almost done:)
catscratch Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 6-8 inches over here (central NJ). I don't actually hate it that much since this is just about the only time of the year that I don't hate my car for being front wheel drive. At all other times I agree with BMW's matra that front wheel drive is the Devil. Watching people trying to drive in snow is amusing - up to a point. It's live action Failblog on wheels...
John Willett Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I hate fucking snow. Yes, it freezes your manhood (sorry, couldn't resist)
DigiPete Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 Got an inch of it today in the California Desert. About half of it is melted already
Knuckledragger Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 [said in a Bill Murray "Groundhog Day" voice] It's snowing here ...again. I might go out in a few and take some pictures, or I might stay right here next to the wood stove.
n_maher Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 They're calling for 3 to 6 in my next of the woods tonight.
Salt Peanuts Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 Supposed to be 2-5 around here, but the temp hasn't dropped enough to turn it into snow yet - it's been raining for few hours now.
n_maher Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Forecast tonight is calling for 12-16" of crap.
deepak Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Or white gold if you have the week off and planning to hit the slopes
Salt Peanuts Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 Around 12 inches here, too. It should be a lovely commute tomorrow - at least this may give me some paperwork time I could use.
laxx Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Supposed to be about 12" here by tomorrow morning. =[
Grand Enigma Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Same... on joy... nothing like snow for the morning commute.
Dusty Chalk Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 It's already turned to rain here. Curious to see what I'll wake up to.
mypasswordis Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 It definitely isn't raining here. I just ran in about half an inch of snow.
Salt Peanuts Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 Just shoveled off about 6 inches from my driveway. Of course, it's still snowing and supposed to do so till 11am or so. Stupid needing to get to work early.
slwiser Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I did not go in today but I am also working on some work as well at home. My work can be done here better than at the office where interruptions are more often than my checking in here.
laxx Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Woke up early and shovelled, then went to work. Man it was a f'ing pain getting to the train station this morning.
n_maher Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 We ended up with 9 to 10" of the stuff but with all the wind it was pretty hard to tell for sure. Allegedly there's another band coming through this afternoon with up to 2" more. Joy.
en480c4 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I wouldn't mind it so much if the guy the association hired to plow the parking didn't plow me in every fucking time, especially considering I was the only one up this morning who had actually already shoveled out. So yeah, doing it twice... Not fun.
Fitz Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 We had snow down here in Atlanta. What the hell is up with that?
Grand Enigma Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 We had snow down here in Atlanta. What the hell is up with that? I hear the cold weather and snow is a result of global warming... apparently our pollution causes the Earth to warm up which somehow makes it cold and snowy
en480c4 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 apparently our pollution causes the Earth to warm up which somehow makes it cold and snowy Well, global warming melts the ice caps. And fresh water migrating south from the melted ice is significantly denser than sea water. This dense mass of fresh water will start to divert the gulf stream in the North Atlantic west before it gets too far north. The lack of those warm water currents would result in a significant drop in the water temperature of the North Atlantic, meaning the eastern seaboard could see significant cooling before things get warmer. Doubt that's the cause for the last few winters, though.
