    luckily, we keep those things on hand. god forbid we would run out though, we couldnt get out for at least  3 or 4 hours. [sm=rotfl.gif]

    amelia hated it! we didnt get many pics of her because she wanted to come back inside.

    Poor pup looks so sad lol.
     
    You call that a blizzerd? Thats a very light dusting around here. A blizzerd here is about 3 feet. :)

    i meant it sarcastically. [;)]

    the news made such a big deal about it this morning. you would have thought we had 3 feet of snow. they even set up a call in number and were fielding calls from people who were "affected by the winter weather". no joke.

    You're kidding, right?  That is so sad. ~LOL~  Were schools closed?  Did the municiple buildings close?  Did they call in the National Guard? ~LOL~

    Bradley, we were supposed to get about two inches here, but it was a wimpy dusting.  We never get a real snow ... [:(]

    I had to laugh when I read blizzard of the century as I seen grass poking up through the snow.  We call that a dusting here [sm=rotfl.gif]Than I seen where you were from and decided to some that could be lots of snow. 
     
    We are not suppose to get snow this weekend just subzero weather and winds to blow around what we have.  On Sat.our high is suppose to be -7 with windhills to take us to -35![8|]

    just short of calling in the national guard. schools actually started closing with just the prediction of snow (man they are paranoid). governement offices were closed (except the postal service, we did get mail). my office and my wife's office closed for the day. so that was nice, but not necessary. by lunchtime the roads were almost completely clear of snow or ice.

    i was a little worried about the road leading into our subdivision. it is shaded and really steep. plus the geniuses just put in a speed hump right at the bottom of the hill. so i was afraid there might be ice there, but it was ok.

    we actually got about 2 inches. that is a fair amount for here. i have seen more, but not often.

    i was more afriad of the sleet and freezing rain that followed the snow. luckily it warmed up quicker than predicted and it wasnt a big deal. last time we had an ice storm, we were out of power for about 3 days. so i definitely didnt want that!

    Right now I'd be happy with a dusting.  My back yard is yellow(its very tiny) because I refuse to shovel pee.  Some nice fresh snow would be nice.

    awww... poor amelia looks like she is not to sure about all that white stuff on the ground![:D] We got some snow here in middle TN too and people are freaking out! Bronx just wants to get every snow flake in site. He is so funny he licks the ground every time he goes out side.[sm=lol.gif]

    Okay, now freezing rain is something I'm terrified of.  Snow is fairly easy to drive in but ice?  All bets are off.

    we are much more prone to getting freezing rain than snow. usually, we either get just freezing rain or a little snow followed by freezing rain.

    BTW: sydney wanted out to play in it all day. i finally gave in and he got muddy from head to toe. so he got a bath on top of everything. and he hates baths! [:D]

    Wow I cant belive things get closed for that much snow lol.
     Here is a lucky day to get a snow day. I think I only got 3 or 4 in all my 14 or 15 years of school.
     
    There was one here a few weeks ago. There was a huge blizzerd my town got shut down and so many accidents. Being canadian you would think people would know not to drive bad and not go insane at the first flakes of snow, but they still panic too.
