Massive winter storm comming our way!
Dec 7^th, 2009 at 12:07pm

Just did all my grocery shopping. We are supose to get 12 inches of snow plus maybe more and blizzard and whiteout conditions Tues and Wed. I canceled my physical therapy apt for Wed. I don't want to drive if I dont have to. I love the snow. Wish I could still downhill ski. After I blew my knees out skiing I just dont have it in me any more. Stay safe friends I here this storm is going to make a mess on a good portion of the us this week.

That's why I have snowshoes to enjoy. Though with the last two winters being record breakers here, it would be nice to catch a break this year.

I can think of ONE difference! I'm stuck in it this year! I'm stuck in Nebraska where it hasn't even started snowing yet but my flights tomorrow are cancelled! Cry

We're "stuck" in it every year. It all depends on your definition of "stuck." When life gives you lemons....

To this I would prefer to add crushed mint leaves. But we're part and parcel on the same page.

The day I add a green leafy vegetable to my bourbon will be the day I put a lime in my Pabst Blue Ribbon.

But airport closed early. So I was supposed to continue on to MA but since storms are headed east I decided to go back west. Hoping to be back in San Diego tomorrow night. Meanwhile, after 3 glasses of wine...life isn't so bad tonight.

Fortunately where I live we have only had 2 blizzards that I know of.

1967 there was 6 feet of snow, it took 4 days to clear the road.

1996 There was only 4 feet, so it only took 2 days to clear.

We had had a bunch of nor'easters that have caused large drifts but the over all snow fall wasn't that much. Oswego NY had one lake effect storm that dumped 12 feet.
