Default Blizzard of '13

We're up to about 18 inches fallen so far and it's snowing and blowing to heck out there. We've lost power three times but it came right back.

I was almost finished the driveway and gust hit me that was so strong it would have knocked me over if i wasn't anchored to the snowblower.

Whoo whoo! I love New England!

Snow's almost done here, with about an inch on the ground. I'll shovel it tomorrow morning, but it won't be enough work to count for my exercise for the day, so I'll have to hit the stationary bike later. I am very glad that I don't have the snow that New England is getting.

ITS SNOW. YOU LIVE IN THE NORTH. DEAL WITH IT!

sigh.............

(aimed not any poster, but all those whiny people on TV)

Complaining about snow in the north is like moving to California and complaining about earthquakes.

Who's complaining? I love blizzards. Snow is why I live in New England.

Wish we'd get a good storm this season here. My sister and dad are getting dumped on in CT.

Snow is a four letter word that results in a mouth washed out with soap. In grade school I liked snow. After that not so much.

Yea, this is starting to.... I think it's worse than yesterday. The wind is just howling and still snowing. Haven't been out in 24 hours. See the odd 4x4 driving by. Visibility is bad.

Monday it's suppose to be sunny here, Charlottetown, with light winds. Just in time for work.

That sums it up very well.
