Christmas Countdown - 2015

[sugar142286]

Believe me, if there were some way to redirect it to Maryland, we would! cheesy



I just read a blog by a local meteorologist who says this will be the winter most of us in New England will remember the rest of our lives, in terms of snow and cold. That's kinda scary, considering a few past winters I can remember. This cold and snowy pattern is causing gridlock, hobbling public transportation (the cold and snow are causing equipment breakdowns), and slowing travel by car everywhere because streets are so narrow and the sight lines at intersections are blocked by snow banks. It's been taking me 15 to 20 minutes longer to commute to and from work, on the days I can get there at all. Some days the mail and packages can't be delivered. No joke, there's no place to put all the snow. It's insane. Normally I'd enjoy staying inside and watching a substantial snowfall, but now we have to shovel and get plowed frequently, sometimes twice a day, and keep an eye on the snow load on the roof. Our friend who plows for us has offered to shovel our roof and push snow aside so we can use the snow rake if we have to. (He very kindly assembled our snow rake for us.)



He was by this morning to plow last night's snow. When we paid him we decided to write the check for TWO plows, 'cause he'll certainly have to come by again later tonight. I'm sure we'll see him tomorrow, too.

Sounds like you have a great plow man!

Stay safe there!

Thank you!
The cartoon is priceless! So true! If Jim Cantore is in Boston, we'll be in for it … what, he's here the whole week??? Uh-oh!

Mr. knocked down some truly epic icicles today. Many area schools have already closed for tomorrow; Boston schools have already announced that they'll be closed Monday AND Tuesday, and public transportation is running on a truncated schedule. I expect I'll be working from home tomorrow again.

I've heard that more snow is possible Thursday or Friday, followed by "life-threatening cold." Good heavens! Could we borrow a few dozen reindeer from Santa to get around??

I am totally blown away with what you guys are getting up there this year~ I mean WoW, snow is one thing, but, looking at some of the pictures I've seen, it's starting to look like the movie, (The Day after Tomorrow)!

I thought that we got a lot of snow here last year, but that was nothing compared to what you guys have and also about to receive.....
My heart goes out to you!!!!

Yep! I remember that well. Nevada & AZ can be too hot, even in the Spring.

Yes they can!!! Vegas was perfect last time in January. Warm during the day and just a bit chilly at night.
