It's only pretty if you don't need to shovel it. In Midtown and Lower Manhattan, you probably won't even know it snowed in a few days. They literally use front end loaders to put the snow piles into dump trucks and move it to a central location where they put the snow into a melting machine, which dumps the water down the sewer. It's an amazing thing to watch.

I live between Olney and Columbia, MD....and measured just over 22". As pretty as it looks, alot of my evergreen trees suffered limb loss from the weight of the snow overnight.

90 degrees...yuck, that sounds awful. I couldn't live without four real seasons...my kids and I put in a whole day of sledding....sitting down with a mug of cocoa.When I win the Powerball Wednesday I'm buying an island in the Caribbean, building a casino/hotel and inviting friends and family down for fun in the sun.

Reminds me of the 'fun' days I used to have in Montana digging out my 1981 Chevy Citation. Oh how familiar this scene was! Almost makes me nostalgic. Almost (until I remember what a Montana winter actually felt like).

it was like time stood still today. way more people than usual out in the streets, kids out having a good time...

What kind of snow was it? Light and fluffy or the heavy wet stuff? I don't mind the first but I absolutely hate the later.

It's all Karl Rove's fault.

Light and fluffy. Definitely more than 2 feet of snow where we were in Central Park. Just a whole lot of fun.

"Well, is it pretty, anyway?"
It's beautiful here in Bayonne, NJ, the seventh borough, I call it. Nice fluffy snow. I love snow.

Going down into the 30's tonight and tomorrow night here in west central gulf coast Florida. Freezing my tushie off but no snow to play in. See ya all on the freeper Caribbean cruise for a group thaw-out in the tropics.

Wow, that's unreal. We moved from northcentral NJ, where we were lucky to see one decent snowfall a year, to NE Ohio - land of lake effect snow from Erie - almost 2 years ago, did get a good bit last year, but this year we have yet to see even one decent snowfall HERE.

From now on - all "Bush's fault" posts get this: Another pet peeve of mine is people posting "it must be global warming" in reply to a cold weather thread, as if noone has ever made that particular wise crack before. But I always have to check to see if it is in the first 10 replies.
To: conservative in nyc
Was enjoying the snow earlier today but then we received news that my wife's uncle died today while shoveling snow in Queens, NY. Has of course put a damper on the day and I ask that prayers be offered for his soul. Thank you.

The usual on the Upper East Side: uniformed doormen pushing snow blowers, weird old people carrying groceries in plastic bags, cross-country skiers down Park Avenue....

Wasn't there some humongous big blizzard in the 1880s - after the storm stranded people walked across the frozen Hudson to get to New Jersey?

It makes perfect sense. We all know liberals have this amazing ability to hold two opposite beliefs at the same time: global warming in the summer followed by a new ice age every winter.
