Oh good lord! Guess what's coming down -- again!

1. The itsy-bitsy spider?

No, my guess is snow.

I hate snow.

[Brigid]

2. Yes, it's snow.

[In_The_Wind]

3. Frozen sunshine pellets.

[Brigid]

4. !

[NutmegYankee]

5. Oh Gawd, Not that white stuff!

Not again!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. It seems to have moved through here now. Got maybe 5". It really is ENOUGH already.

[NutmegYankee]

7. Newspaper headline - Oh, yes, there's more (snow)

8. This is becoming a minor

form of torture. Here in NYC just when (most) of the sidewalks are shoveled, the crosswalks are finally clear and dry, the generally well-plowed streets are clear and dry then IT STARTS AGAIN.

[Brigid]

9. Haven't seen most of the sidewalks around here since December.

Early December.

[LiberalElite]

10. where are you? nt

[Brigid]

12. Indianapolis.

Downtown is OK, but not the neighborhoods.

[LiberalElite]

14. Wow. No law requiring

clearing the sidewalks? This is the non-legal lingo version of the NYC law:

Sidewalk Safety

Whether you're the owner, tenant, occupant or the person in charge of any lot or building, you must clear the snow and/or ice from your sidewalk within four (4) hours after the snow has stopped falling, or by 11 a.m. if the snow stopped falling after 9 p.m. the night before.

If the snow becomes frozen and too hard to remove, you may spread clean, unused cat litter, salt, sand, sawdust or another similarly suitable material within the same time limits.

As you clear your sidewalk, keep in mind: YOU MUST NOT THROW SNOW INTO THE STREET. It's against the law, and it forces Sanitation to re-plow your street. Also, you should never cover fire hydrants with snow - this could interfere with firefighting efforts.

The bottom line is sidewalks must be thoroughly cleaned as soon as the weather permits.
Failure to comply with the law may result in fines ranging from $100 to $350.

[Brigid]

15. Apparently not.

The condo association clears our walks, but mostly they're neglected.

[patricia92243]

18. What are they supposed to do with the snow if they csn't put it in the street???

[Paulie]

11. 6" inches here

Going to be 40F+ tomorrow.

Going to be a flooding mess.

[Brigid]

13. Same here.

Yep, it's going to be sunny but a wet, sloppy mess with all the melting.

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

16. The Frozen Flood

[femmocrat]

17. We are getting sideways sleet pelting the windows.

Glad I am in here and not out there!

[In_The_Wind]

24. It JUST started falling here!

Snow, snow go away.
Come back another day.

[marzipanni]

19. The precip is always better in the other fellow's yard!

We would have been delighted to have some of that snow piled up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, but we have 20% of the average normal precipitation tallied up each April 1st, and December and January are usually the wettest months.
I hope we have a March Miracle, as they called one late snowy/rainy season, because any wet stuff in the Sacramento valley usually tapers off completely by May, or rarely, June.

[fizzgig]

20. you guys need it so badly

i'll keep doing my snow dance for you.

[marzipanni]

25. Thanks! But please close your mouth once in a while

my throat feels parched looking at you.

[TorchTheWitch]

21. I could friggin' scream

Did the lying weathermen say a word about this shit? No. They only bothered to mention anything about it two hours after the crap started!

I can't stand this crap anymore.

[MadrasT]

22. And now I have to go out and shovel. Again.

[In_The_Wind]

23. Did you really have to send it my way?

[MissMillie]

26. At least you didn't say that nasty 4-letter word

I know you implied it... but thanks for not saying it.

[Brigid]

27. In the forties today.

So at least we're getting some melting.

[MissMillie]

28. lucky you

here, it's coming down

[Brigid]

29. Are you east of Indiana?

Your warmup may be coming soon.

[MissMillie]

30. New England

I hear we might see 50s and 60s on Friday

[UrbScotty]

31. Had to travel the Stevenson yesterday

Must've taken 20 minutes to go 8 miles.

Much nicer today.

They're expecting rain on Thursday - because Mother Nature apparently decided we need flooding.
