Like A Mofo Posted February 13, 2006 Author Posted February 13, 2006 She got 22"... 2" eleven times. 601565[/snapback] Only Eleven times? Man I must have been tired!
plenzmd1 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 We had the typical "calling for 6-12 inches" overnite to wake up to the 1 and half inch in Richmond. Although up the road 90 miles, DC got i think a foot.
sweet baboo Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 I feel so cheated here in WNY...how am I supposed to ski in an inch of snow?
dib Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 no snow but it's supposed to drop into the 30's tonight. People are running around like they're north of the arctic circle.
KD in CA Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 28" in Central Park -- I was a block from Columbus Circle all weekend. What a great storm....spent about 2 hours walking through the park yesterday during the early afternoon while it was still coming down.....made our way to the Boathouse and found a couple of seats at the bar for a few hot rum ciders.....then back through the park and home to warm up!
IowaBill Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 80 degrees and sunny. mild trade winds, St. Croix, US Virign Islands (America's Paradise)

stuckincincy Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 it is coming down good now in WNY 602100[/snapback] Are the weatherfolks going nuts? Here in Cincy, we have had officially, 5 or so inches so far. The tv folks are distressed...a local weatherbunny claimed that the flurries this weekend were "lake effect", and a "meterologist" yesterday said that certain areas were getting snow "at a rate of 1 inch an hour, but the good news - it only happened for 10 minutes"....

I have never been in the city during a snowstorm, but I would love it i think
IDBillzFan Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 What the hell are you doing on this frickin' message board while you're in the UVI??? 602099[/snapback] Lovely weather we're having, eh?
UConn James Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 It's snowing lightly again here, right now. I'd say up here in the far NE corner of CT, we got 14-16 inches, it's harder to tell b/c gusts blew it around. Plowed and shoveled out this morning and like Pete said, it's really light stuff. Looking out my window again and it's now stopped. I'll take an occasional blizzard as long as I can live in the county that was rated as the Most Protected From Natural Disaster in the US, in a fairly exhaustive study. Nice not to have to deal with hurricanes very often (and by the time they get up here in the hills, they've usually petered out), earthquakes, droughts, floods, you name it. And four distinct seasons to boot. Gas prices are another story, but I recently found a town nearby in MA that has $2.12/gal when everyone else around here is in the $2.35 range.
bills_fan Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 23" in Brooklyn. I live right next to a park, Owl's Head Park for those who know the area. So I go to get my Jeep out of the parking space after the plows go past all nite. Nice waist-high snow pack next to my sturdy Jeep. Do I shovel...no. Get in the Jeep, start her up, engage 4wd, 1st gear and she sliced through the bank like a hot knife through butter. So now being that I live next to a park that has some great hills for sledding, I decide lets have some fun. Late last nite, park is lit up by the lights, only a few folks around....yep, drove my Jeep thru the park. The wrangler was rockin through the snow, eating it alive. Up one hill, down another, snow flying in every direction...man that was a lot of fun!! I had just pulled out of the park, onto my street, parking my Jeep, when NYPD drives by. They see my Jeep, the tire tracks behind me in the park, I smiled and shrugged...the cops just keep on driving. Fun storm.

'93, so I'm even less worried than most about getting crap all over it. <low whistle> Are they not the perfect vehicle?

I have never been in the city during a snowstorm, but I would love it i think 602165[/snapback] It's amazing to see NYC during a snow storm....it becomes a completely different city. Central Park is beautiful anyway, but even moreso during a storm like this one. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather have been.

Although up the road 90 miles, DC got i think a foot. 601654[/snapback] I am about midway between dc and richmond. We had about 9" by the time it was all done. Of course with the 45 degree weather Sunday and 40 today, there is about 3 inches left now.
