Ceptorman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I can't complain, solid 9" of snow overnight. You can see the bird feeder in the pics below. I can't imagine what it's like in upstate NY at the moment, or for that matter even you people in Cincinnati and the mid-west, where our storm came from.

Moderators dtel Posted March 5, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2015 This is all funny to me, 1" would shut down everything here. The last few days it was 75+ and right now 36 and a chance of sleet which is rare for us. But all of you make me feel very grateful at 36, thanks, and as far as Earl goes I would take the cold and snow/ice over a dentist chair any day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Finally, one missed us. It has been cold, but just a few flurries. we are happy to share our good fortune of bountiful snow with our Southern brothers. Hear me Sancho?

angusruler Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 8" of snow here in the people's republic of Maryland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 3-4" here in rural DFW. Same here. Almost whole state shut down. Its a nice day off. No day off for me. My job function is pretty location agnostic, so it's just another working day for me. Still, it's nice to look out at my snow covered acreage while sipping my hot coffee. At least you have a window in your office 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People laugh at us southerners, but they don't realize a state can't budget a full throw of snow clearing equipment when you average maybe 1 snowfall of 4 inches or so a year. It doesn't bother me. Kids hit the sleds all day and its almost like we get a taste of a 3 or 4 day Euro work week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 I can't believe Cinci and NY missed the snow. I thought Cinci was dead center in the storm. Here in sunny West Virginia, we are expecting minus 6 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in sunny West Virginia, we are expecting minus 6 tonight. I think the Ohio River was a dividing line for snow. I have a friend that lives on the south side of Cincy and had 5 inches. Parts of Ky south of Louisville had 20 inches. I too am glad it missed us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can laugh all they want, I would have cabin fever if it was snow covered or even those temps a few months of the year. Your right, if our town tried to buy snow equipment there would be an investigation the next day, guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Going down to -10 tonight. I am so thankful summer is only 4 months away! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 We got about 5". Enough to clog up my undersized (but free) single stage snowblower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pite Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 lol have 2 feet or more snow in the front yard, which hasn't melted for last two months... Had couple of weeks below zero and few days hovering around -30F with windchill. That said we might have a relief next week with a forecast for +30F. No complains, as in comparison Boston has gotten a lot of snow this time around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted March 6, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2015 You guys have me feeling all girly, I lit the wood burning stove a few hours ago because it was dropping below 40, a blistering 33 now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) It got down to about -3, and about 4:30 this (Friday) morning I lost power for about 7 hours. There are still 5,000 customers without electric in Vienna, right in the area where Mustang Guy has his speaker ranch. I took my wife to work this morning and went past a 3 car pile-up before the cops had even arrived, then went another half-mile where a tractor-trailer had jack knifed blocking two lanes. (Rt. 7 going into Marietta, OH) Hey Mustang Guy, did you lose power at the shop? It looks like it might have just come back on around 5p near that area.

pite Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 we're in minus today... weather man tells us that we'll be +30 in the next week and might hit as high at +45... oh just saying that already feels warm after experiencing the razor sharp cold.

Guest Steven1963 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Feel sorry for you all. Kinda. Here in the Northwest the weather has been fantastic. Highs in the 60's through the last couple weeks of February and no rain, when we should be in the high 40's low 50's with non-stop rain. Lived here for the last 40 years and I cannot recall such great weather this early in the year. Supposed to be 70 this weekend!
