LOL!

"I'm innocent, Your Honor! I did not steal that pheasant! I . . . I found it . . . that's it!"

THIS kind of dog trial:

[7.62 x 51mm]

What a sweetie!

In the NW Philly burbs. I was living SW of Carlisle on South Mountain during the President's Day Storm - we got about 30 inches - and had some nitwits decide to hike along the Appalachian Trail to a shelter a few miles from where we lived. They had to be rescued by snowmobile when they started getting frostbite.

Hey! Thats my Folks Place in Palm Springs! LOL!

[AnAmericanMother]

She's a darling. Like all Labs, affectionate to a fault. She's more active than most, she loves doing agility and retriever hunt tests.

Of course, I think she's the neatest little dog on four paws.

[7.62 x 51mm]

She's a sweetie, as are you, for treating her so kindly, AAM. Kudos.

[StarFan]

I hope you're headed home.

We also don't get excited by a few inches of snow.. We just call it winter and go about our business.

This won't be a 'few' inches of snow for most big cities either, probably one of the bigger events since Jan 96. I average over 100" here in CT, but I still smile when it falls.

Hey! Thats my Folks Place in Palm Springs! LOL!

Bring your towell, the water is great, weather warm!

[nuclady]

Yep, we WNY'ers are always prepared. Glad I went shopping yesterday. Other than shovel some snow this weekend, not goin' anywhere for anything! I live in snow country (south of Buffalo). Where do you live?

[nuclady]

"One year in the 1970's we got a bad April blizzard that caused us to be w/o power for a few days and we cooked off of a portable gas stove and slept around the fire place in our snow suits, but other then tornados, that's the worst weather I recall.

I think the same year Buffalo NY got hit worse and they talked about loading up frieght cars with snow and sending the train south."

You remember correctly, but it was in Jan. of 1976. I had a newborn baby and husband was working 100 miles east. The trains did carry the snow from the city (Buffalo), but they dumped into the Niagara River. Took the Army Corp.of Engrs. a week to get us out down here in the southtowns. Didn't snow so much, it was the wind (50-60 mph) that blew all the snow off of Lake Erie. Only time I've ever heard on the radio (in this area) how to survive in a snowdrift if you got stranded. Wasn't bad, neighbors got together and we all cooked and partied together. Stranded skiers ate the resorts out of 'house and home' and they opened free bars. They couldn't go anywhere, but hear the skiing was great while waiting to get dug out!

Chautauqua County, nuclady... south of Mayville, and on the east side of the lake...

We have a 500 foot driveway, all uphill. Biggest problem is getting the car up it before a storm hits so the plow can come dig us out afterwards...

Good luck east coast. My little corner of paridise in Lake Arrowhead, CA got nailed and several folks lost their houses. I suffered several thousand dollars in dammange to my property.


I am praying for you all. God Bless.

[socal_parrot]

paridise= paradise.


Sorry, being upset effects my spelling. :)

[nutmeg]

Yes, we are home! Thanks for your concern. :-)

We checked out of our DC-area hotel a day early, and headed for home ASAP. The storm is due to hit that area tomorrow morning. If we stuck with our original plan to stay until Saturday afternoon, we would've followed the storm from DC up to Connecticut during our 7+ hour drive tomorrow. No thanks...

Dutchy and RaceBannon are home, but I'm worried about some other Tri-Staters who are still down there. Tomorrow will surely be tough drive back north...

18+ inches of snow plus high winds forecast for us here in northern CT tomorrow. >:-(

[lainie]

Woohooo!

I'm so jealous.

[lainie]

I'm sorry to hear that. :( I've been wondering how it was when you went up there.

[lainie]

Southern Connecticut could get 30"?? Good night!

[EternalVigilance]

Well, it has been snowing HARD here in downtown Chicago for hours.

The city is pretty much grinding to a standstill.

I don't have any doubt that we will have well over a foot on the ground by morning. And it is supposed to continue on into tomorrow afternoon!
