No snow in Chicago today.

Good thing, else we would've had to shovel snow off of the half-acre pond we played hockey on this morning.

[SoDak]

Lucky! We only have maybe 3 or 4 inches on the ground and it's even patchy and old. My Arctic Cat is getting lonely. BTW, why do people in the south mob the grocery over an inch of snow?

[h-roark]

Hey I have to drive to beautiful Fayetteville, NC this Sunday from Ohio- what's the prognosis for the next few days? BTW is salt only used at the BBQ down there or do they ever sprinkle any on the roads?

I'll believe there is glogal warming when the enviro wackos schedule a conference in Buffulo, NY in January.

[putupon]

This is terrible! I remember back in '87,
we had all that snow come up the east coast, one storm
after another. And what about '96? what a
nightmare. They are talking about more snow on Sunday.
Woe is us. What if we get 2 feet this winter? I'm so depressed,
how long until spring?

Well, I must say I'm pretty excited -- we've accumulated about an inch of the white stuff here in Charlotte -- we're supposed to get anywhere from 3-6 inches or more -- yippee!!! The good news is that it comes down, stays awhile, then melts before turning gray and dingy.

I know that doesn't sound like much to some of you Freepers -- especially those of you in Buffalo, Michigan or the Northwest. Please keep in mind that few people in Charlotte know how to drive on snow and ice (I intend on staying off the roads, not because snow scares me -- I learned to drive on snow and ice in Ohio -- but because of the trend toward fender-benders), we don't have a lot of snow equipment for road maintenance, and about now, there won't be a loaf of bread, gallon of milk or 12 pack of toilet paper (or beer) to be found!!! Not to mention the run on pre-packaged "far wood".

After the Ice Storm of 1998 ran through northern NY and New England I don't care if we ever get another flake or crystal or whatever.

Here in the Fox Valley of Wisconsin there's maybe an inch of old snow on the ground.
All the snowmobilers are out on the lakes and ponds.

Poorman is from South Dakota; he's amused by such little storms paralyzing southeastern cities.

In the California mountain town of Paradise, after a heavy snow, people would go up to the reservoir to play "snow pull". This was ON the main road, by the way. Guys would get a running start on the straightaway, then zoom their pickup trucks up the hill as far as they could go before losing momentum and sliding back down the slope. I should mention: a reservoir is on one side of the road, and a deep canyon is on the other.

Has been snowing in Augusta, GA since around 1100. Turned to sleet acouple hours ago and the temp 27.

I got called into work tonight and I hope I can get home in the morning.

I hear all the solar powered snow plows are in Atlanta. Could be a long wait for the roads to get cleared!

[Cleburne]

The snow is all but gone after accumulating to the dizzying depth of three inches here in Ellisville, MS, a mere hundred miles from the Gulf. We we all quite excited and took the customary video, but no clumps of snow in the freezer, as our big freezer is out of commision (it is difficult to subsist without, no room for the black eyed peas, butterbeans, and blueberries! Needs ramification..). This has been the snow storm of the century so far, and I wouldn't hold my breath to see a repeat. Unfortunately, two people have died in weather related accidents. Shows you how unacustomed we are to winter weather.

[RightOnline]

OK, girl..........FINALLY gettin' some white stuff falling here (well heck.......you only live a stone's throw from me, so I guess you kinda knew that :) ). Stocked up, snow shovel ready, etc., etc., yada, yada. Gonna be baby Jared's first look at snow. :)

Remember.............STAY AWAY FROM THE MORONS IN 4-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES IN THE SOUTH!!!!!!!! (when it snows, that is..............), and especially if you hear "Hey, y'all..........watch thee-is!!!!!!!"

[fish hawk]

Hate to rub it in but it's 83 and sunny here on Maui and the Mai Tais are dancing under the palms. The Humpback whales are here for the winter also. They seem to be smarter than some humans. Aloha Nui Loa

[LADYAK]

Hardly any snow here in Fairbanks, AK. We need the snow!

[ncdrumr]

Just some flurries in Cary so far, enough to dust the roof. What the heck! I moved here from Chicago to get away from this! Since then, I've seen over 20" of snow in '00 and now this storm. I just hope the snowplows plow my street this time.

[CharlotteVRWC]

I'm live in Central Charlotte- and it's snowing like crazy. I hear reports on weather station to expect 2-4 inches and on the local airport weather station to expect 3-6 inches. I think it's suppossed to snow alot on Thursday as well, so I expect the city will be shut down. I'm from Ohio and it's hard to get used to snow shutting everything down.

[Teacup]

Still nothing over here. We're anxiously awaiting.

[DeckTheHallsHolly]

No snow yet in North Myrtle Beach...School has been called off in the school district south of Myrtle Beach (No snow there yet either).

[Jay W]

That ain't snow falling in the South, it's shredded Romano cheese!

[tnwalker]

It just started snowing in Greensboro, NC about 15 minutes ago. My deck is lightly covered. Weather forcast is possibility of 4 to 6 inches. I think Raleigh and eastern part of the state will get the most. Happy New Year to all.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Not a flake has fallen around Roxboro as of 8:36 PM eastern. I predict that we will not get even a trace-of course that is the same prediction I made two years ago when we recieved two feet of snow. Took me nine days to get out of my driveway. My fingers, toes, legs, and eyes are crossed. Got plenty of bread and beer this time though-fool me twice shame on me.
