Snow is one thing, but ice is pretty scary too. I use to hate driving when the road was a huge ice skating rink.  Not only that, I was prone to fall on my ass a few times too. One of my early memories, when I was in 4th grade, at Catholic School. We went to mass every morning. I had on boots walked in church, tried to genuflect, slipped on the icy/wet floor and did an embarrassing little soft shoe with my legs kicking in the air and fell flat on my ass. The entire school (all of 100 kids) laughed like crazy. I know I was beet red and quickly slid in the pew. Snow, who needs it? TIS

Just looked up snowblower prices ($550+). Fuggedaboutit. Looks like my back will have to suffer a little 0-3 times/winter.  Unless I get something like this little thing for $99...

It's been raining/sleeting the past 8-9 hours which means a nice heavy, slippery, icy undercoating for when the snow starts up again.

Oh, it's coming down now all right. When it was JUST starting about an hour ago I went out to try and clear out where the plow had already blocked the driveway. Wasn't deep, but it was WET and HEAVY as all hell. I didn't last long out there, so it's gonna be a nightmare when this is all said and done.  ...and if I remember correctly when I was a kid, snowblowers are pretty worthless when it's this wet and slushy.

It's been raining/sleeting the past 8-9 hours which means a nice heavy, slippery, icy undercoating for when the snow starts up again. Same down here. The rain was doing a good job on the snow, but it started snowing about 12:30pm and now its windy and blowing snow  . I brought work home. Enough for two days. Drove my wife to work today. There was no one on the roads. All the schools are closed. Picked her up when the snow started. OOOOO, just had a power flicker. Good thing I have a little UPS/Battery Back UP. It works quite well. When the power dips I hear it click on immediately. Its going to be another messy dig-out; heavy stuff. SB, good luck up north where its suppose to snow.

The PA Govenor shut down the major highways around Philly. Wildwood NJ hasn't recovered from Saturday's storm. There are still people without power there. Philly broke their seasonal snowfall record by 5 inches. They are at 70 inches and climbing and the winter is far from over.
Can you spell G-L-O-BALL-WARM-I-N-G? Heatwave roasts Rio, kills 32 in southern Brazil RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) – The worst heatwave to hit Rio de Janeiro in 50 years turned the city into a pre-Carnival furnace Wednesday, and killed 32 elderly people further south, officials said. According to the Inmet national weather service, recorded temperatures in Rio were well above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees) -- and felt more like above 50 degrees. "The heatwave in Rio is seen as historic. February right now is the hottest month for the past 50 years," meteorologist Giovanni Dolif told the O Globo daily. On Monday and Tuesday, the scalding conditions proved deadly for 32 elderly residents in Santos, a city close to Sao Paulo and 350 kilometers (220 miles) south of Rio.

Tuesday Morning we went to my in-laws to visit with the Col's Sister who got out of the hospital. They got about 5 inches. We spent the night cuz we didn't want to take a chance and get stuck.Plus they canceled my son's school for Wednesday. We just got home tonight about 11pm what usually takes 1 1/2 hours to get home took 3 hours tonight. My Son has has no school for Thursday either. No more snow days. We got 3 more inches while we were gone. I can't believe how much we are getting. 6 more weeks of Winter.
