Winter 2013-14 Pretty Much Done with it, Thank you!

Same here.

But it is milk for coffee and/or tea, and bread for sandwiches and/or toast.

Two eggs and coffee does not fill the stomach as much as two eggs, coffee, and toast.

True that!!!

Try forecasting for this crap!  Just forecasted FZRA, Ice Pellets, and SNOW for S Georgia!  As a forecaster this weather is nuts even to us!

That's why you're called a "forecaster" rather than an "outcomer".

We have become spoiled. We are irritated that winter is acting like....well, winter.

Remember, it's only 52 days till spring.

-20 actual low tonight, -5 was the high, blowing snow means cleaning the sidewalks is a futile exercise.

At least one major SAREx in my wing cancelled, planes stuck to the ground, O-Rides not happening,
some unit meetings cancelled since the holidays.

Not to mention the kids home again tomorrow, for 4th weather day this season.

That's enough thank you!

Light weight. Down here we got 4 inches in an hour last week..I have the privilege of cleaning up after the snow. Had a 50 hour day right after the new year. That's not a typo.  I said 50 hours. I'm on my first day off in over 2 weeks.

Usually I never clean the car until it stops snowing, just as I am about to leave for work. After the snow that fell Saturday, I decide to make sure there was water in my radiator, and cleaned the car of snow. Then comes Sunday. It also snowed. I am going "Should not have cleaned the d___ snow!" but luckily it did not stick...

Another thing, last week we had a sudden storm which brought lots of snow on Tuesday. I did not know it was going to snow, never looked at the news, and the blizzard caught me unaware as I had left my winter gloves home, and me with the vehicle covered in snow at work. About 10 to 15 miles away. It was so cold that I got frostbitten hands. Luckily I always carry my 24-hour pack in the trunk. So I go "those work gloves in the 24-hour will have to suffice." A little colder than my regular gloves but they worked... Then the drive home, that normally takes me about 45 minutes took two hours!

Mile for mile, Michigan has more snow cover than any other U.S. state

Send some snow to South Florida. Its only going to get to 42 today. North Florida may have snow but us in the south are stuck without it.

Stuck?
That's funny.

So very true!

Seeing some of the post about what goes first from the stores, here's my little story.  Moved to the Old Dominion after 3.5 years living in Canada.  First serious winter storm approaches...we visit the grocery store having gotten very used to this 'Up North'; the following shelves were nearly empty; bread, beer and wine!

Cool, but probably won't look good on this:

Wait...let's backtrack a bit. Is Leninade a real thing? If so, I'm a bit upset at myself for never having heard of it before.

I was actually pondering sending it to CAWG. With their drought, ya' know...

[Eclipse]

Don't send it to GAWG - 3 inches of snow and the whole state shuts down.

Thats great thinking! Just be careful when transporting it because it might melt if border patrol stops you to do a vehicle check and to ask if your an American Citizen or not. Even if you 30 miles inland from the border, border patrol may due a "Random check".

I cannot complain because here in south Florida, its a tad bit chilly.

I was checking out news sites and a couple of Facebook groups covering the storm. Folks stuck in snow with grass poking though it. More commonly known as flurries.

It was pretty cool to see how everyone banded together and provided food and shelter where needed.

[Cliff_Chambliss]

It is exactly 0 degrees Fahrenheit according to the thermometer outside of my door, and with a wind chill of -15.

Yeah, okay, this is getting old.

The cars are completely filthy because you can't use the car wash without driving out a block of ice.  We've had to cancel cadet activities because of the extreme cold. 

In a lighter note, my mother just recently moved down to Alabama from Pennsylvania.  She is greatly amused over the blind panic from her neighbors over the concept that they may get up to 3 inches(!!!) of snow.  One of her friends called with a dire warning that she needs to go out and stock up on basic supplies and gas "before the snow comes".

South of the Smith & Wesson Line any snow greater than 1/2 inch is Mother Nature's way of culling Bubba's litter.

3 inches of snow shut the entire infrastructure of Atlanta down. I was amazed. I was also amazed at the common man, helping his fellows out during all this. I knew this was going to happen the second I saw the first flake.

[Jaison009]

In all fairness I think it is the ice below the snow causing the shutdown and issues. I live in AR and we get a little more snow than GA or TX so I know what you mean but still...
