Anyone else in the Blizzard's path?  I am in Chicago and we're supposed to get at least 20" of snow between now and tomorrow.....  Luckily I have my model M Space Saving keyboard to keep me warm :)

We're even supposed to get some snow on Thursday.  I believe it when I see it.  It is unseasonably cold here, though.  Just yesterday, I was wearing shorts; today, it's about 37 outside.

In CT it was officially the snowiest month ever in January.  Here comes February and we are still getting hammered with snow.  I don't think there has been a time since November that there has been a full week of school for me.

As a North Dakota native, it amazes me how snow storms and blizzards cause so much chaos in areas that should EXPECT them during the winter.  The mentality between my home town in ND and where I live now in southern Wisconsin is crazy.

One of the many perks of living in a banana republic is that I can point and laugh at you guys this time a year.

iMav: At 46+ degrees of latitude, North Dakota is More Than Half Way To The North Pole. Southern Wisconsin is More Than Half Way To The Equator. See how that works?

There's just not a lot of interbreeding between the crazed Scandinavian yetis of the north and lazy tropical beach bums of the south, so you get that sharp gradient near the 45th parallel.

Nice boots, I have a very similar-looking pair of Columbia "Cascadian Crest" boots.



I still end up just wearing any old kicks most of the time, even when I shovel the driveway, I was never one to get cold feet. I have been scouring all over for a pair of these in my size though, after seeing a sample at a local shoe shop:

Yeah dude, Im not sure why people hate it so much too. I have lived on the Atlantic, in Montreal (Quebec is notorious for their Winters), and now near the snow belt, and I wish we got more.

Aw man. I'm also in Boston and I've got snow piled 6 feet on both sides of the driveway for the entire length at least. Shoveling sure is tiring when you have to fling the snow the extra distance.

It suprising what a few less snowy years can do... There is no equipment in some(one) big cities even in Finland... Still, mandatory winter tires work decently here. So once they get stuff cleaned not so much issue...

BTW, I hate that stuff...

Man, damn this snow, keeping me from typing on a new keyboard.
My RK-9000 is stuck in Missouri, so I have to keep using this sh!t rubber dome keyboard for a few more days.
I wish my Model M wasn't so useless right now.

(FWIW my Model M was basically rescued from the trash.)

Being aware that it is likely to snow heavily in one's area, and actually being able to move that heavy snow out of the way so that traffic can use the roads... are two different things.

Nope. No Blizzard. But here in Australia there is a Category 5 cyclone about to hit FNQ ( Far North Queensland ).

For reference: Bigger than Katrina. 300km/h winds, 9 metre waves moving at 25km/h with a 65 - 70km eye.

People will die, don't know who yet. But people will die.

We have 4000 army/navy troops sitting off the coast ready to setup field hospitals and people have been evacuating for about 48 hours.

Scary scary scary.

I'm in Michigan as well; got dumped on pretty good.  It took me an hour to clear our 16' x 85' driveway this morning with a good sized snowblower.  Even then, I don't think our minivan would do well on the streets.  I have a fullsize 4x4 and that's the only reason I even attempted to drive to work.  Our neighborhood wasn't too bad, thanks to residential snow plows dragging their plows, but I hit some pretty deep snow when I hit the intersection at the first main road.  That's where I'm sure the van would've got hung up.  As it was, even with my truck, I had to back up and try again, after I sank when I stopped.

FWIW, I guesstimate that the snow was about 17-20" deep in the middle of our driveway, between the house and neighbors garage.  It was about 12-"15" everywhere else.

I'm  living in  New England  and the  whole winter's been a  stinking blizzard. Got  18" in  the  first  storm (which was  a blizzard),  30" in  the next (was not a  blizzard),  10" in the next, and countless other  storms that dropped at least  5".

It all boiled down  to  two feet of hard,  packed snow that I had to  shovel  off my  shed roof the other day so  it wouldn't collapse.  My driveway's also surrounded with a  wall of snow 4'-6' deep from clearing it with the  snowthrower  machine.

Guess I shouldn't be whining about my subzero temps but without a lot of snow.  Overall we have had abnormally mild weather here lately, seems like all the really bad stuff moved out to the New England area.  We don't want it back, send it to someone else when you're done with it, :wink:.

Doh!  We've had a very mild winter here, until today.  We usually get dumped on regularly, with lake effect snow.  This was the first where I really had to use the snowblower.

The winter is really bad here in CT... As of today there have been two major building collapses due to the weight of all the snow.

Oh, and I just remembered... Isn't today Groundhog Day?  I'm half expecting that dumbass rodent to say that it will be an early spring...

Here in Edmonton, it was really cold (minus 20 on Monday - Fahrenheit; minus 30 Celsius) on Monday and Tuesday, but no snow. (We do have piles of snow on the ground, though; we had our snowstorm early last week.)

Today, it's above freezing.

Very large snowblowers. Common in Canadian mountain communities.

Didn't get much snow here in North Texas, but my entire neighborhood has been covered in about 6mm of solid ice since yesterday morning.  The sidewalks and street look like a frozen pond.

Dunno, but the way trains do it is pretty cool.

Hah.  It does show every so often in Texas, even in places like Galveston.  I think it snowed there in 2004 and 2008.
