The cold up here has been keeping that stuff away.

It just ain't fair.

We might get an inch here in East Texas and everyone is so excited you'd think Santa was really coming. Looking at that though, I'll be glad to have the usual melts as it hits the ground variety.

Awesome, but I'd think after a couple of days you'd really get a bad case of cabin fever!  Do they plow the streets so you can get around or are you just stuck w/ the sled and dog teams?

There's another front going over the South today,, and it's going to move up the east coast so I don't think you have much relief in sight. 

Cabin fever is right.  It's one thing to not want to go anywhere on a particular day, but knowing that you can't is a little disconcerting.

Yes, the roads are all plowed now.  I have a bone to pick with whomever was plowing my street.  Every time the damn plow came by, it blocked off the bottom of my driveway with more snow.  I was out there several times yesterday trying to keep it clear.  The plow came by one more time around 9:00 pm and plowed me in again.      And of course it was like solid concrete by morning.    You can see the huge chunks of snow along the bottom of the driveway in one of the photos I posted.

Sounds like an Irish Whisky day to me, Irish coffee in the morning, and moral stiffeners throughout the day.

There are about 54 inches of global warming on the ground here in South Central Pa.. They haven't even plowed us out yet. We'll be lucky to get out by tomorrow.

I hate to throw gas on the fire but my weather sources tell me that the storm coming on Monday could also be more than just a dusting for the areas already hardest hit. My weather sources have not been wrong even once this Winter.

Meltdown should be slow because temperatures are staying pretty cold. We have snow stacked up 12 feet and higher in some places. There will be snow on the ground here until April.

I've hear the same AND it is coming from the south. The ones that come from that direction are usually strong/heavy.

Well, all that snow, ice, wind, drifts, etc., etc., is one of the main reasons NOT to be there or in our snow packed area in downstate Illinois in February.  Warm and sunny in Kihei, and the surrounding area.  Take a look at my AV, doesn't look like snow to me.  And the wife and I will be 'enduring' another day of no snow again, in an hour or two. 
Sorry about that.

If it is the low pressure system just off shore on the Gulf, it's carrying a lot of snow north of New Orleans but so far limited rain, but so far just in the 40s & 50s and damp.  Some predictitons have it going up the Atlantic coast and causing a lot of precip in the form of snow.  Snow is predicted further inland.  Hopefully it won't stop the parades, three tonight, before it pulls out.  This seems to be the last one at least until Ash Wednesday.  Throw me something Mister.  Hey Lady, show me your t_ts! [that's a common form of Pre-Lenten greeting in New Orleans.  I may have to wear a coat for the parades tonight, provided it doesn't rain out.

You gotta stock up on those beads Saint.

Because of the anticipated bad weather from the new low coming off the Gulf they canceled all the Carnival parades in Orleans Parish tonight, I don't know if Jefferson Parish will roll .  Now they're going to run four parades tomorrow night--if it doesn't rain.  This is really a mess.  Sleet is expected, and freezing rain causes trouble here because there aren't any trucks to spread sand and de-icing materials--so the City just stops until it warms up.  I'm going to take some of my own suggestion and have a nice toddy, dinner and early to bed.  But if the rain/sleet doesn't materialize, I'm going to be pissed

Mother Nature better watch out. It's against the law to mess with Mardi Gras.

[aarrggh]

I've said it before, but gentlemen, this is why I like living in the south. 

    Yep :: Just wait till all this melts.........Better keep lookin out your window.........
