SNOW....Winter Storm Jonas

[K3v1n]

So here in Southern Ocean County, NJ the white stuff has begun to fall. Time to 'Hunker Down' !

[HeaveToo]

I am out in the belly of the beast working.  I am not complaining because for every hour I work I get an hour of Comp Time.  I am going to have one hell of a nice vacation after this weekend (36 hours for this weekend and 8 hours from last monday's holiday).  Add to that the 134 hours I already had.  I have to burn this leave in a year.  LIFE IS GOOD

We have almost half a foot thus far outside the nation's capital, and much more expected.  Be mindful if you have to travel.  On Wednesday, my wife's 10 minute trip back from music lessons took nearly 2 hours, and my 2 hour commute took almost 5.  Hopefully the roads get cleaned up efficiently.

12 inches here in SE Mass
Great, as of Thur, I now have 2 completely nonoperational snowblowers too!

[tmw]

We ended up with about 2 feet--I measured 22 inches.  Here is my car--not sure I'll be going anywhere anytime soon.

Three week old snow sitting at about 8 inches in Sturgeon Bay, Wi.
Had a few days of melt with harsh sunshine although below freezing.
A little dusting that blew away.

skip.

Just to let you guys that it's not snowing here in Florida, I took this about two hours ago after a little time on the boat... the wind died down a bit, so, off to the mooring buoy.

Ted:
   Don't take this personally, but you are hereby banned from the site for being insensitive to your northern  and snowbound brothers. Also, I'm personally sending you down 5 truckloads of NJ snow! And a shovel! Enjoy!

[HeaveToo]

When it is 120 degrees this summer in Flordia and you are out in your boat thinking you are sailing on the Lake of Fire I will send you evil pictures back!!!!!!!

That is just plain wrong!

I am on day 3 of working.  I think that I have gotten 6 hours of sleep and I am already at 30+ hours of actual work time (actually more but that is what is on the clock).  It has been nuts.

I am going to enjoy my 3 weeks off in May!!!!

[Ted]

Well... couldn't resist. Grew up in Minnesota. I remember what mornings were like when it was really cold. Everybody coming into work, talking about whether or not the car started, if it was plugged in, etc. Crunchy, squeaky snow. That particularly fresh smell on a super cold morning. Inches and feet of snow a couple times per year.

Now my family, most of whom live in Minnesota still, are always telling me that they couldn't live here because it is so hot. So you have to gloat a little when you can. Trust me - I feel your pain northerners.

[Tim Gardner]

Jerk!

[Bob23]

Oh...so Ted couldn't resist! Make that 10 truckloads and a tablespoon- no shovel! Oh, and he feels our pain. What a man of compassion. Hahaha!!!!!

[Ted]

That snow might be good in my pool... It's down about a couple nches right now....

"This morning, I shot six holes in my freezer;
I think I've got cabin fever
Everything seems to be wrong"--Jimmy Buffett-"Boat Drinks"

Seriously, we got two feet and I worked during the entire storm.  People were just being stupid!

I was finally off yesterday and I came home to dig more stuff out.  This snow is nuts.  I am so ready for spring.

 florida in my estimation is the land of "toos". landscape-TOO flat and uninteresting. people--TOO many (some speak english though). hot-way TOO hot in the summer. traffic--way TOO much (back to the people thing). bugs-way TOO many. seasons--TOO few. if i ever move to a warmer clime---it wont be florida--TOO much. that blue water sure is pretty though.
