You guys crack me up...Up here in Upstate New York..we stay home only if the roads are totally filled in....like feet at a time...though I think you all live in a awesome place..do you get feet of snow at a time...?

Not usually, but Mags owns a car that barely takes off in the rain, so I was just giving her a hard time!
But I seriously think this winter is gonna be bad. I remember one winter, I walked to the store, and as I looked down, there were the little nubbins from the car antennas under my feet! That was a bad winter. And I'm not gonna say what year that was, it will give away my age!!

I kind of figured that...but had to make a comment...sometimes we have so much snow and then times when we have none...I just don't want a green Christmas!?

If only it snowed for Christmas, and got warm and sunny, say, around mid-January. THEN, I'd be happy!

Yes just like that or snow a ton..but not on the roads so everything is so pretty and then just stay until...well somehow let's not have the mud season...

Yes, we do get snow in feet in one event. Last year was one 20+inch storm after the other.

I know in Buffalo it can snow 6 ft in a couple of days and the roads remain fairly clear. In our county we are well prepared for snow, but NYC has some issues with nowhere to put the snow.

Upstate is very cool too. Next weekend we are going ot the Garlic Festival in Saugerties, which is a huge event.

Roberta, don't put the jinx on us. Last year was enough snow to last me for a long time. I'm freaking out just thinking about driving to work in that white crap again.

Blame it on me, I'm in trouble for everything else!
But seriously, hurricanes and earthquakes and global warming, flooding, tsunamis...What's next?

Please! Don't go there...Tornadoes are our big fear up here. One hit the house in '89, and Irene spawned a small one right behind our house.

Timet to build a bunker!

I warned you about me! Calamity central, please hold!
