stand4hope Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Oh no! The smiles are fading. They have just upgraded are snow warning to 7-13" of blowing, drifting snow - 25-30 mph winds. Starts late tonight thru Thurs. morning. I'm so scared driving on bad roads and gets worse the older I get. I'm the b*@*h that you all cuss when you are behind me on the road. Please forgive me. I pull over to get out of your way if I can. Oh, I just hate this! At least our son is enjoying 70-75 degrees in sunny Arizona and I don't have to worry about him doing donuts and smashing into something. LOL! Sigh . . . . .

Haylee_38 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Peggy, you are getting the storm in Indiana that is heading my way to Ohio. It just started to flurry here we are also sapose to get near a foot of snow. Haylee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Oh, Peggy, stop whining. At least it's WARM ENOUGH to snow where you are! Our high today is supposed to be 13, but it's in the negatives this morning...LOL...oh, if ONLY it would get up to the high 20s and snow! (Then again, I'm taking tomorrow off if at all possible...going out in the snow will not be a necessity.) I would LOVE to get that much snow all at once! Maybe not the blowing part, but the snow....packing snow so I can whoop my boy's butt with snowballs! (I'd have to get up real early and hide a stash of 'em cuz he can make 'em so fast and I can't, but I'd get him...planned ambush...hehehehe...oh yeah, snow would be GREAT!) Stay safe, follow the plow to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmek Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Yep snow would be great. Why is it that those who get snow hate it and those like me who never see it, want to so bad. Im so envious!!! Its going to get colder here about 25 tonight, and the rain is coming, but the snow FLURRIES they are calling for are still about 75 miles north of me. You just dont get much snow in east texas. Ice on occasion, now thats fun throwing ice balls, and driving or should i say sliding. We Texans for sure cannot drive in ice or snow, so we just cancel school and hibernate. Enjoy it if you can, im sure its beautiful. Merry CHristmas KIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Peggy, That snow will melt, I live on floor No: 6, last one and made a big snow man on the gallery, now it all melted down, and just waiting for the next snow storm to make another one, need my decoration for Xmas. xoxo J.C.

Ry Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Geez...25? That's a heat wave. It was zero here Monday! The day before it was a whopping 3! Want to guess what is was with the wind chill? It is COLD! The snow I can handle...the ice scares the crap out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 We're at 20 and going down to 7 below tomorrow. The biggest snow so far has stayed to the south and east. I didn't even have one flake - I'm west of Indy, and we have very little in downtown Indy so far. Second wave is going to hit late afternoon and tonight with 30 mph winds. They are closing our office tomorrow (because of the snow and Christmas). YIPPEE!! They have changed our area to 6-10 by tomorrow morning with drifting. Supposed to be up to 2 feet in southern Indiana. My goodness! To you southerners: We had some young friends many years ago who transferred here from Alabama. They couldn't wait for the 1st snow, and when we got it, we got a big one. They built snowmen and played in the snow for 2 days. After 5 days, they had enough and wanted to go home. LOL!

Haylee_38 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 We have like 3 inches already and they changed it from a foot to 18 inches by the end of the storm. Dogs are just loving the heck out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betplace Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 This is the part of life I love, sitting here in a tank top with the front door and all the windows open, wondering if I should put on the AC in order to cool down the house enough to sleep, while I read all the posts from you poor freezing people up North! It is my payback for 7 months of above 90 temperatures! "I'm dreaming of a GREEN Christmas!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Peggy, It is suppose to get cold here tonight and tomorrow. But if we get any precip it will probably be sleet and freezing rain. I have a ton of things to do tomorrow so I really do hope that the forecast is wrong this time. Enjoy the snow. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
