Snow

[Holly]

We have some but not enough to go sleddding....... yet! But we should by tomorrow... as long as windchills are tolerable.... my girls are still small enough where I really have to watch that!

[Joey]

We have some, but the wind-chill is BRRRRRRR! Yeah for snow!!!!! My kids are already out playing in it! I may take them sledding later! Are you heading out, Nancy? Snow-boarding yet?

I do not snowboard.

I have a 3 seater toboggan...it goes really fast the guys wax it.It is lots of fun.

I love it.

[Holly]

I meant your son!? Doesn't he snowboard? I thought he did?..... Did you go sledding?

[Joey]

Sorry.(haha)

No he should have he made money and wanted to spend it so he walked to Kmart instead.

[Holly]

These were just taken about 5 min ago in my front yard!!!

This is showing my neighbor behind me. They like to park in my driveway, which I am NOT happy about. 7 vehicles, and only 2 of them run.

Front yard. From the bushes in front of my porch to the hedges is about 7 ft. LOL Small front yard.

Standing on my front porch to the street light. The picture quality is BAD. It's so peaceful seeing the huge flakes pouring down in the light...

Micah--the pictures are beautiful and so peaceful! I love to watch the snow fall at night under the lights of the city streets or lamp posts. It is such a serene scene. Thanks for sharing them.

Okay, we officially got dumped on. I was out grocery shopping and when I left for the store the roads were clear. When I came out it was a complete white out. Took forever to get home and couldn't see a thing.

We got 3 or 4 inches and it all came within an hour I imagine.

Boo! Hiss! I am not happy about this.

Here in Davenport it is just cold. No snow yet, some flurries a couple of days ago that is still laying about in places...with wind chill factored in it is 15deg F right now----

@Micah; those are nice pics....and about as close to the real thing as I want to get, thankyouvermuch---

Got a generic question...Micah mentioned 'large' snowflakes...large being a relative term, how big are the flakes in your area...'snow' flakes, that is:lol1:

Where I lived in California, I was in the Sierra Nevada foothills, about halfway between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. We were around the 2,750ft elevation and the flakes got pretty large. An average size was about (US coin) a quarter, just around an inch(25MM)....lots of time quite a bit bigger....

When I moved here to Iowa, one of the first snows that I saw had these tiny little cold white things falling and I was like 'ok, when is it gonna start snowing?'...........these flakes were about the size of a green pea, or red bean....not what I was used to at all...

So, whats it like where you're at?-----

[Holly]

I am in Euclid, Ohio, and we had some coin sized ones come down and we also get the pea-sized ones, the ones we had today were fairly sized!

Did you or anyone else here from Ohio feel the earthquake the other day? I read about it but I don't know what part of Ohio was affected.

[Holly]

I didn't feel it, it was around Youngstown area, about an hour SE of us.....

[Brother_Bliss]

My brother lives in Austintown just next door and did not even notice - ha!

[Joey]

We didn't feel it either.

Last summer I was at the library and the

book shelves began swaying from that one.

[Joey]

It's snowing in my back yard . My sons going snowboarding.

[Holly]

I was gonna take the girls sled-riding, but the wind-chill is just to harsh...... school starts back tomorrow....... how long til spring break?

[Joey]

Sam went to school today.I won't tell him you guys are tomorrow.

[Holly]

we also get out on May 31st. this year... with all of the new schools being built and scheduled to open for next year, they need a good chunk of time to remove the old buildings and do the parking lots, play-ground and grassy areas.....

Thanks for the Memories (pics) of the Snow. Hope I don't have to shovel it anymore...

Yes. My wife and I were sitting here talking, then we heard a noise in the wall. We thought it was a mouse or coon in the wall. When I smacked the wall where it was, it still kept going. It contined for a few more minutes. Then I checked and VOILA! Earthquake! So awesome!!!!!!!! No damage that we can see.

The news said that people down in Lower 48 wondered where winter was! It's up here in Alaska. Cordova down on south coast has gotten snow every day since Dec. 17 and have a total of 18 FT. They called in NG to help with roof clearing. Some of the warehouses are collapsing. On the other hand Valdez has gotten 20 FT but they get that every year so they know how to handle it and their are more people there. In central Alaska we have maybe foot and half of snow on the ground but we have COLD. It was 41 below 0 last week and this weekend it's going to go to 45 below. In other low lying areas it will get down to 55 to 60 below. One thing about it, we expect it and we are prepared for it and life goes on apace.

Do you go door to door in that cold?Yikes!

It is 45 today...not much snow here yet.I like it when it snows about a foot or two and stays on

the ground for a month or so.But not yet.

When the temps are that cold, how does that work with going in field service and meetings? I have always been curious about that!
