Nah, he ain't. In Norfolk/VA Beach they close everything at the slightest bit of snow/ice. Like, a few inches closes the base, etc...

Well down here in good 'ol Tidewater Virginia we got 0.0625 inches (one sixteenth of an inch) of snow woith two inch drifts!!! That was enogh to shut down all the schools for the day and to cause everyone to drive under thirty MPH. The amazing thing is that it actually snowed before christmas this year.

You're kidding, right?!

Well, I'm happy with the 3 to 4 inches we got yesterday. Want more though! But that's probably just because we have a tractor to plow the snow

so I don't have to do it

You guys just haven't lived until you shoveled 15 inches of snow off your driveway and halfway across the street to get your car out and go anywhere. I had shovel that far out into the street cause I live on a side street that doesnt' get plowed by the city until all the main ones do. Some volunteer with a pickup truck and a snow shovel came down our street, but he only made one pass. Had to dig out to there to move my car. Ugh, I really should get a snow blower. Of course we usually only get a snow bad enough to need one every couple years. Most of the snow we get isn't deep enough to need shoveling if you are lazy like me.

Hey, it's an incentive (and means) to keep in shape during the dark months and not let the beerbelly grow. I spent more than an hour shoveling snow today.

Looks like I'm not going to have a white Christmas this year. It doesn't snow very much here, and I can only remember only having a few white Christmases ever.

Done my share of shoveling snow. Worst I ever saw was in Boston in 1971. Snow drifts covered the windows of our barracks at Ft. Devens which means the drifts were at least 10 feet deep. As for regular depth, the "blizzard" left a bit less than 2 feet. I left that place in April and never saw the ground the whole time I was there...just snow.

As to "your" blizzard, its effects were far-reaching. It cost me an extra 2 and a half hours on the ground in Tampa, Florida because of other plane delays from it.
