I lost power for a couple of hours but it's back now. There's a possibility it will go out again tonight because the wind is starting to pick up. Wind, snow, falling limbs and trees, and power lines tend to be a rather bad combination. The wet snow and slush will probably freeze tonight making for very hazardous roadways. I won't be past my front steps tomorrow.

This is is one of the funniest snow pictures I've seen. Caesar Dawgustus doesn't look too happy to have snow on his head.

yay for snow days !!!! and that dog photo made me fall off my chair laughing !

i hope you don't have any power problems though, and can enjoy the snow with no inconvenience. make sure to wear a scarf if you go outside !

I'm working from home this morning. I'm lucky I have a good boss. My mother was already giving me grief for coming back (made an attempt to drive). I hate living in the mountains and cannot wait until I get my house.

In an almost unheard of freak of nature, there is actually still some snow lying in shady spots. In ALABAMA!! Supposed to be back in the mid-70's by Wed or Thurs.

It's cold.

I'd love to live in the mountains... But it's as flat as flat can be, over here...

It's great until you have to drive uphill or downhill...

As long as you use a motorized vehicle... At least for the uphill part

7:15 AM, +12 C with wind warning. Maybe some of this muck will dry up.

Nice to have it warm up to spring like temp.

lilac_jive · 03-02-2009, 10:33 AM

The snow is getting worse, looks like I won't be going to the office.

nekokami · 03-02-2009, 10:51 AM

Snow. The university (where I work) is closed, as well as all local schools.

Ok, I can deal with one more snowstorm.

Steven Lyle Jordan · 03-02-2009, 10:57 AM

It's snowing in D.C. (though already slacking off). My wife and I drove the anti-lock brake-equipped car to the train station, and railed it in to work.

You mountain people, don't feel bad. One day, possibly soon, a lot of us flat-landers will be swimming to work...

What's that, like eleventy degrees or something? When are you CAN-adians going to get off the metric and start using real measurements? A meter is subjective, but you can look at a man's big flappy feet and pretty much see a foot.

My shoe size is 43 (I don't know what measurement system that is)

The wind is blowing so hard today the puppy just must chase those leaves and forget all about why we are taking a walk in the first place.

WDE.

For a rough-and-ready approximate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit, double the number and add 30.
So, for 12C:

12 X 2 = 24.
24 + 30 = 54F.

It's usually right to within a couple of degrees for most weather purposes.

Snow´s almost gone. We have rain instead, but spring´s on its way. I can smell it, I know it (hope springs eternal).
