The Weather.

LOL! They really hate it when they are wrong. I had to go to the store last night just for cat food, and it was a mob scene after work. I guess French toast is a big thing when you get a snow day around here, because everyone had lots of milk, eggs and bread. I am hoping I won the megamillions, haha. I bought a ticket in addition to the cat food. :D

It's finally actually snowing! (I sound as excited as you, hehehe). I want it now because I can't stand when they hype the crap out of something and then it's a bust. I don't know why, but I get so annoyed, hehe. It's coming down pretty good right now, but it's not sticking yet. It's sort of been snowing in fits and starts. This is more steady now.
 
Going out to shovel my whopping four inches of snow. Geesh.

I think that’s the problem I have. At noon they bumped me from 8-12 to 18-24. How does that even happen and then an hour later you end up with 4-6? It’s ridiculous. Yet there was something inside me yesterday that kept thinking about the blizzard that wasn’t in January of 2015. They scared the pants off everyone and we got two inches of snow and no wind. Lol. I should have known better but it’s so hard (for me) not to excited at the prospect of a really good snowfall. :(
 
Wow, 18 to 24! I still find it hard to believe that we'll get a foot because there is only an inch right now. It's still coming down, but it really hasn't been sticking much. I'll be surprised if we get 8 inches, but we'll see. They kept saying it would ramp up this afternoon, but it really hasn't. And it's 4 p.m. already. It is supposed to end around midnight.
 
Just came back in and it seriously was only four inches. It’s coming down real hard again though and everything is already covered with another inch.
 
We got some snow, sort of started last night, supposed to continue sporadically through tomorrow... earlier, all I saw was snow on lawns, the streets were sloppy but dark... left Jer's, there's salt everywhere, and it's gotten bitterly cold very quickly. :confused:
 
We ended up with a foot of snow. I didn't think it would make it to that total because the storm didn't really get going until late afternoon. The weather folks had it right for my area. :) I'm sure a lot will melt today, though, because it's going to be 40 degrees. :D

We went out to shovel in two shifts and it was harder this second time because it is melting and is heavier/more saturated with water. But we got it done andbits nice to see pavement but still have big mounds of snow.
 
So we had the 'Beast From The East', then it was the 'Pest From The West', and just now I just saw a headline about the 'Nightmare From The North' ... I'm afraid to hear what we might expect from the south!
 
We're in for more snow, tonight into tomorrow. They aren't sure of the amounts yet because the storm could still track either east or west. If it goes more west, we could get a foot or more. *sigh* I'm hoping it moves way east and goes out to sea. :D
 
Took me an hour and a half to get to work this morning, usually it's less than an hour. There was a bit of snow on the road near my workplace, and that caused all kinds of slowness, police cars and general panic with cars turning around in the middle of the road. One car decided to turn around just on top of the worst snow, and got completely stuck in the process.

For me it was a long, but all things considered, pleasant and comfortable journey, since I was, as usual, traveling by bus, where I could play on my phone and not have to worry about the actual driving.

This month has been something else. A week ago they predicted our 4th nor’easter would be upon us. Then just yesterday we were told it would miss is and that the chance it would change and come our way, was only 25%. They were pretty sure of that. Well lo and behold, this is our forecast for Wednesday.

If it wasn’t so funny it would be sad.

@KLS52 They have changed our forecast back and forth as well. The latest has us getting 6 to 10 inches, but they say it still could change, lol. Either way, our book club is canceled again because of the snow, and I'll be likely working from home tomorrow. :D
