I want to strangle that damn groundhog!!
Could someone put a call into Al Gore and tell him to send us some of that Global Warming. 28” shoveled over the weekend, now this....sheeeez!
Oh, my aching back!
Ugh, we have parent conferences scheduled for Wed, Thursday and Friday night.
I can take driving in the snow during the day, but at night it gives me with willies.
Does this mean that Rove has re-activated his weather machine?
I just finished digging out from 38”. My shoulder is hanging by a thread. I can’t imagine another 10-20”.

Where is Al Gore? Fox should put out an APB and invite him in for an interview with Bill O.
You know Gore would do it just for the *face time*.
That would be a hoot! Maybe have viewer *call in questions*.
I shoveled five feet of snow in front of my car, put there by the snow plow. Worked all day at it (54 years old, female, but fitness trainer so, naturally, the task fell to me, the only one with a strong heart and good back!). This morning...snow plow dumped another wall in front of my car. Whimper.
Just spent three hours on the phone rescheduling after my flight plans were cancelled. Talk about dominos falling. Just trying to cut my losses.
Damn groundhog? Damn Gore!
It’s bad all around for travelers.
Even at home, many don’t have their electricity back from the last storm.
I wonder where Gore is this winter? Probably some tropical island.
It’s already in effect in Ohio.

hahahahaha, that is so funny, and just what I thought on my birthday Feb 2nd. I got up early to check the groundhog forcast, dangit. I felt like going up and slapping that silly rodent.
But we REALLY need to pass cap and tax so that man-made global warming can be brought under control.
Dang...and they just got those airports open again. I heard that had to move a massive amount of snow to get Reagan Airport open today.
