So uh... anyone else stuck in their house?

I'm not in my house, actually, but a friend's house.

About five or six inches here in DC/ NOVA. What about you?

[Inver]

Lucky. We got one day of snow. One. And it didn't even stick around for us to play with.

[Dreww]

I wouldn't mind being snowed in, but my area hasn't seen a snowfall since 2008 when we had about 15 minutes of a drizzle-like snow .

[DanDoesWork]

Yep we got hit with some hail for a little bit, now its been snowing nonstop for 3 hours. I think we are going to average around 9 inches here, and 12 inches further up my state. The plows haven't even come out yet either. South Jersey here

We've been getting hit with one storm after another in Jersey. Right now it's snowing heavily, the roads are awful (I had to go into work tonight), and I'm not sure how much we have on the ground, but with the snow from this storm on top of what we had left from the last time it snowed, we have mounds several feet high in some places. We had to drive home at like 25 mph on the interstate, and it was impossible to see 20 feet ahead. I'm really hoping school is canceled tomorrow, but it's supposed to clear up by like 5am.

[WharfRat]

nah... it's nice here. I think it's supposed to be around 60 here tomorrow actually... I did hear about the snowstorm coming to hit your area though... Hopefully you enjoy snow?

What counts as being "snowed in"? Like you literally can't leave your houses? o.0

[Narcissa]

We've been decidedly dry this winter. I'll probably be wearing shorts and a tank top tomorrow.

[Roxi]

It's actually snowed in my state 3 times this year. That is an amazing thing. Our weather is crazy like that. None of it has stuck, though, let alone come down in multiple inches.

Yeah... can't leave the house. Maybe tomorrow they'll plow neighborhoods? Tonight they're probably plowing major roads so food and fuel can get through.

I could drive, but it's probably not a good plan. At a friend's house, so it's not that bad.

Yay, Codex Mobile!

I thought ahead dude, laptop with charger in car, esp. in bad weather situations.

They have no wifi and I wanted to leave Abrosia and some other Codex related shits running.

Not to mention the power was out for a while while the HOSPITAL WAS ON FIRE, so that would have ended up dead anyway

Five or six inches of snow shouldn't stop you from going about your day. We are considered snowed on when theres fix or six feet of snow.

I wish we had that much snow. It was only a couple of feet maximum.


Edit: I just realized 5-6 feet of snow is taller than me. Fail.

Where I come from, it never snows. I wish it did though.

You can't leave the house cuz of six inches of snow? Wow. America and Canada are on different ends of the spectrum aren't they?

[sircomflix]

6 inches is snowed in!? That's a normal day of snowfall in Canada

[Kido]

See? He agrees with me! XD Lately though snow comes heavy at the end of the year but by jan it's like we're all snowed out and we only get a few inches every now and then.....

[Faval]

Too much snow lately, 1 foot and I feel stupid for being the only one to get to work.

[BEEEEWRRYY]

Just came back from shoveling 16 inches of snow for the past 2 hours.

That's Ok. I remember this time I had to walk to the movie theaters while it was like sleeting only to find out it was closed.....I felt like a hobo o.0

Yikes. I had like 6-7 inches and it took me 45 minutes to do my driveway and a friend's.

...we lost internet at my boy's house...

A fucking tree fell, taking the FiOS line with it. The tree only stretched the wire, lowering it into the road. But then (oddly enough) a tree servicing company truck that couldn't fit under the wire came along, snapped the wire and left it, live, in the middle of the street. When we found it, the little kid from next door was playing with it

Anyway, back at my house now. I have power, internet, and running water. I think I'm set. If only I had something to drink besides gatorade and beer.

[Nunc]

As a Nawlinian I can't say we have much snow. Sometimes there's frost on the ground though, like this morning :@

Yeah... this far south the counties don't have the infrastructure to deal with heavy precipitation. I mean the county has snow plows, and the trucks that drop sand and salt, but they rarely send them into neighborhoods. I dug my car out (a rear-wheel drive sedan :\ ) and barely got out of my boy's 'hood. But the main roads were well plowed.
