    That's the worst, either when the snow turns to ice, or the roads ice over, then it snows on top of it.

    UGH

    6 inches of snow, and college was closed!

    i did spend an hour walking to college when i found out the buses werent running, only to be told that it was closed and we have to go back home.....2 1/2 hours of walking in the deep snow.

    omg that sounded so much like my grandma!

    " When I was a kid we had to walk 5 miles to school in 2 ft of snow in shoes with holes in the bottom....................."

    I'm sure everyone's parents/grandparents have the wild tales to tell. And everytime they tell 'em the distance is longer, the snow is deeper and the shoes are in worse condition, LOL. :lol:

    I've seen the "road" my mom walked to the bus stop on in Finland, MN, and yes, it was a mile-and-a-half, uphill both ways. And snow? Finland, MN? Oh, yeah, we're talking feet of snow, not inches with bears and meese (what's the plural of moose?) near-by. Temp? In winter? Well below what anyone should need to suffer through.

    It was 50 below once when I was up there on Christmas break. Seriously.

    I mean, it does snow in North Florida. But I doubt there was ever a foot of snow, even 90 yrs ago, lol.

    In Staffordshire it's pretty much stopped now but it's meant to be coming for the next week or so.

    Got three or four inches this morning.

    I really do not like the snow, or the cold. It makes me cranky. >=(

    I went outside, shoveled my back walk (we are talking about 50 feet max), turned around and the first part I shovel was covered already.

    I know I passed quite a few this morning having their morning coffee from the mobile cafe located in the ditch. :idiot:

    No doubt.

    Checked this morning - we got roughly 2 1/2 - 3" overnight here in NE Ohio. The snow is up to my front and back doors. I finally have to break out the shovel. Gawd what I would give for a snow blower. :(

    To make it even better, schools are closed. yippee :rolleyes:
