Are you getting any snow yet? It hasn't started out here on the coast of DE, but we're supposed to get 19" or more!
I can't believe the amount of snow we have already had this winter. Sure glad we did a snow unit...but now could we move on to a Spring unit? Please???

Well, I guess we'll be like Snowflake Bentley and try and catch a few flakes!

LOL Lisa!

Almost nothing here. I'm frankly disappointed. I was supposed to go out to lunch today with some ladies and they chickened out because of the weather, but there's NOTHING.   

I'm glad to be spending the time with the fam though -- dh is home from work early and dd is off from college. Yippee!!!

Now if that snow would just come so we can have some fun!

Stef, we must be on opposite ends of Ohio! It's snowing right now and we can hardly see outside. 6-8 inches predicted.

We've been getting snow all day ... just not sticking (pretty wet stuff) altho it looks like it finally is sticking. Poor dh ... he got a snow-day, but could easily have had at least half a day of school and gotten back in time to have hot cocoa with us!

we have snow here (and it's still scattering down) in central IL, but not nearly what was predicted. it's been this way all winter- stories of impending gloom, and then maybe 1-3 inches.

It's been snowing all morning, but not sticking to the road until now. They have upped the projected totals to 20-30 inches, and will be under a blizzard warning starting tonight.

That's because we're getting all your snow down here, Theresa! Snowing now in coastal Delaware, but not sticking yet. It's very pretty.

I'm in NW Ohio - only 2-4 inches predicted - right now it's blowing like the dickens and snowing a bit.

We've got at least 6 inches here already at 6:00 p.m. and it's not slowing down. Definitely worried about dh driving home tonight at 9:00 p.m.

We were supposed to get quite a bit of snow here too but they changed it this afternoon to only a dusting. It is so weird to be hearing all the totals that are expected for Virginia!

The first week I lived in Virginia (having moved from the Pacific NorthWET) we had 22" of snow. I called my parents and told them that I was changing my name to "Nanook of Virginia". Seems as if it still applies!

Ha, I checked Yahoo weather and we are supposed to get 1 inch tonight. I took the pup out for her last "visit" and we have at least 4 inches so far. And it is snowin', snowin' and blowin' This is the second time Yahoo has been wrong in the past week. They usually do so well! Need to find a new weather site.
I actually love the stuff now. Wasn't so keen on it 5 years ago after we moved from Virginia. Would really like to move back now! Winter will still be shorter in Va than here in Ohio--even though they might get more snow than us this year!
