Snow

Postby Susie Hamilton » January 19th, 2009, 3:47 pm

We may be getting 2-6 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow. It all depends on this front that is coming in. We have had cold temps lately so the ground is frozen meaning the snow will stick. This is a high military area, many of which have never driven in snow, let alone see it. I am off tomorrow and plan on spending the day in house. :D We don't get a lot of snow very often due to being close to the ocean. What is your forecast?

Last weekend I was shoveling show to a height above my head, but we were in the thirties and forties all week and it has rained, causing the snow to melt down to only a few feet. I'm glad for the warm weather, but the forecast for the end of this week is more snow.

I grew up in Ky. We had a lot of snow. One year my bros and I built an igloo. I lived outside Detroit for awhile. One morn I had to dig my car out to go to work, then a scraper came by and buried it again. I know snow. I can drive in it, but I do not trust others who cannot.

Here is what the Weather Bureau is saying for us:

Melbourne, FL Clear 60ºF Currently

60º / 49º Tuesday

60º / 31º Wednesday

56º / 28º Thursday

60º / 37º Friday

This supposed to be the coldest since 2001, I didn't live here, I was in South Florida and it was a lot warmer than this. Where is global warming when you need it?

We can't get any snow in the DC area. In December and early January, all the snow was too far north. Now the snow is south of us :(

The word weather has been a bad word around here.

For the highs, its been in the teens for around 2 weeks. Lows in the single digits. One night it went as low as 8 below. WC one night was 15-20 below zero.

Snow about 10 inches..mounded up from plowing out. Which probably is as high as 2 feet or more.

We live on a school bus route so our streets gets plowed which is good except when they come down your street and they close your driveway up with the additional snow.
Its aggravating too, when you have already worked to clear it and they go through and close it and you have to repeat the opening.

On the good side, we're blessed with a snow plow and snow blower.
But for an old man of 72 its hard work at times. Our son helps out if his not at work.
Another of Gods blessings is when you have children to help.

Well, this is what it was like today, and it is likely to be much the same tomorrow.

Juneau is rainforest. They say that we're getting an unusual amount of snow accumulation this year. They say it usually snows, warms up and melts off, then snows, warms up and melts off, in cycles. It's just that over the last month it snowed, I heard, six feet and didn't get above freezing. It's melted down quite a bit now.

I heard that Seattle was really snarled because it isn't used to snow. A woman I met said she got stranded down there after major hand surgery and had to hitch-hike to the airport two days in a row because there were no taxis. Can you imagine hitchhiking to the airport in snow and ice after surgery like that?

Did you get snow?

It started about 9 last night, very light, and we got a trace, with some ice, so no school today. They are calling for more snow today.

That's okay. Where in the world would you put it today? There's no room in DC today.

Rahab what did you all get in Va beach/Norfolk? I know they said it was looking like they would get a good 2-6 inches. Everywhere east of me was getting the same 2-6 but us in the triad (all around Greensboro) maybe 1-3 inches however we only got a dusting. Those in Raleigh, Charlotte , Burlington were supposed to get 2-6 ....

But that dusting was enough to keep Toby out of preschool and it is my day off so I get to play with both my boys all day :D
