    Yes I have to go shovel about two feet of it off my diveway in a couple hours.

    49 degrees here in Tampa Bay, I don't think we've ever had a white Christmas and probably
    never will.

    1:40am.
  • Nothing like a 2 a.m. shoveling to warm the heart and soul.

  • Placid, you are so lucky my sister just got a brand new top-o-the line Polaris snowmobile, tops out at around 130-140 mph, all we need is snow then i can try it out.image

    Just drive a bit south, we got about 2 inches here in Chicago. Plus we have better pizza than up there in cheesehead land...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Notice to all:

    If you'll pay the shipping charges, I'll take all of your snow. We got over a foot here, but I'll take all I can get. I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas, I already had that. Now I want a white January, February, March....I don't ask for much, you see. Our normal annual snowfall is about two feet, and we've already had that - but I want more!

    I shoveled four times, twice while the snow was still falling heavily. I have always found it much easier to shovel a couple of inches at a time rather than wait for a foot to fall then try shoveling it. We don't quite get enough snow to justify a blower....so a-shoveling I go. That's really the only bad part of a good snowfall, I love driving in it, playing in it with my son, etc. I'm glad we got all we did, and would happily take yours off your hands.

    As for Wisconsin - sorry - I guess we got all of yours this year. It has been warmer in South Dakota the past couple of days than it has been here - odd, but I love it. Our low temperature here in the valley was 1 degree fahrenheit last night. Nice and cold, like I like it!

    Hey CD. Great shoveling but don`t they plow your roads?!!
  • It snowed here X-mas eve 1967. That was the last one near the holiday. If we get any snow it is generally in Feb-March.
  • Wichita KS had a white Christmas (I had to drive out of it to get home). Dallas had 50+ temperature and a bright sunny day for Christmas!

  • Here in central Maine the storm was a bust. I could sweep it all up using a broom and a dustpan. But I'm glad for those of you that got buried, that is if your happy with it.

    Yup, the plow the roads, but I live at the end of a dead end "culdesack"...They plow it once, then the rest is up to us. Since none of us want to shovel the entire thing, we just pound it in and drive over it.
