Looks like Ohio is getting hammered by snow

[No Mandate Here.]

and we in Western PA had a sunny day with 55 degrees...

The radar has looked like this all day. Strangest thing I've seen in a long while.

from accuweather. thanks.

(edited for a still radar - not a loop which kept refreshing with a long load time.)

1. It has been snowing here all day today

:)

[asthmaticeog]

2. Yeah, I had to un-bury my car four times today.

Sometimes I don't know why the fuck I stay in Cleveland.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. My stepson and his family are there...

What's the snow scoop?

[asthmaticeog]

16. It's still coming down.

I really, really want to clear the damn sidewalk, but there's just no point.

9. Does anybody know why

anybody stays in cleveland?

[liberalhistorian]

14. No, I sure don't, except

that I've been here for 30 years, since I was nine. If I could find a job somewhere else, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. A good friend of mine couldn't find work here in Northeast Ohio, his house was in foreclosure and creditors were eating him alive for money he didn't have. He found a good job down in Florida, and he's never, ever looking back, never mind that he's lived here for all of his fifty years and he only knows a couple of people there. God, I envy him right now!

20. Traffic's waaaaaaaaay better than in DC.

I couldn't believe "Rush Hour" when I visited.

12. Hey, I'm in Cleveland, too!

Actually, I'm in Painesville, about 20 miles east of Cleveland, where the lovely white curtain has been drawn all fucking day and will continue tomorrow, throwing a real wrench in my last-minute Christmas shopping plans.

3. NWS said 12-24 inches!

[eleonora]

4. 22 inches here in Evansville IN

Let's see. I had to unbury my car about 3 times, got locked out twice (had to get in from the back to crawl to the front and unlock the %$&#^@% door), had to go pick up my dad and the car got stuck. -sigh-
And it's not over yet, I have to go back out to give him a ride home. Grrr

5. Serves Them Right...

...on voting for Bush Inc.

[sasquatch]

7. That was Diebold that voted for Bush, thank you!

:(

[liberalhistorian]

11. Actually, Cleveland

and the northern part of the state voted for Kerry; it was the central and southern part of Ohio that voted for Smirk.

[American Tragedy]

8. Yeah, it's been a real delight here in Louisville

[OhioChick]

10. Ugh......

So sick of the 'white shit' already.

[n2mark]

13. Gosh

would love to see a few flakes fall here in Phoenix. That happened before but the weather report says 60 degrees. I do miss the snow. I lived in Chicago years ago, always loved the snow until the end of March.

[liberalhistorian]

15. You MISS THE SNOW?

Are you sure all of your mental faculties are in place right now? :evilgrin: :P

Hell, you can have all of our snow here in Cleveland, I'm fucking sick of this shit. I'm almost forty and for the first time in my life, I just can't handle winter this year, I'm so damn sick of it. I want to be WARM and see the SUN!

[n2mark]

18. Move to Arizona if you do not like to snow

just remember the heat during the summer replaces the snow but at least you did not need to dig out of the heat. Just prepare yourself for 110-120 degree temps and the air continually running. The heat can become unbearable. I lived in Chicago, loved the snow at that time too. I'm not crazy I grew up in Michigan and Illinois.

17. Ohioan Winter Diary...

Ohioan's Winter Diary Entries

December 8th-6:00pm
It started snowing; the first of the season and the wife and I prepared some wonderful cocktails and sat by the window watching the beautiful soft flakes float placidly down all over the scene before us. What a lovely sight to behold!

December 9th
We awoke to a big beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Every tree and shrub was covered by a beautiful mantle. I shovelled snow for the first time in years and loved it. So Exhilarating ! I shovelled both the driveway and the sidewalks. Later a snow plow came by and covered our sidewalks and part of the drive, so I shovelled it once again.

December 11th
The sun has melted all of our lovely snow. Oh well, I am sure we will get some more before this lovely winter is through.

December 12th
It snowed 10 inches last night and the temperature dropped to 20 below zero. I went outside and shovelled the driveway and sidewalks. The snow plow came through and did it's trick again.

December 13th
It snowed another 8 inches last night. I went out once again to shovel. The plow came by again and you guessed it! So I shovelled again. Pondering the thought of selling the station wagon and getting a 4x4.

December 14th
Well it's still snowing. It snowed another 6 inches last night. I sold the station wagon today and bought a 4x4 blazer so I now can drive in the snow. Bought snow tires for the wife's car.

December 16th
It stopped snowing, now we have freezing rain. Went outside and fell on my ass on the driveway. Luckily, all I hurt were my feelings.

December 17th
Stopped raining, the temperature is 28 below zero, and it is starting to snow again.

December 18th
Still colder than a well digger's ass (22 below in the a.m.) and the icy roads make for very white-knuckled driving.

December 20th
We had another 14 inches of the white shit last night. More shovelling in store for me today. The God damn snow plow came by twice today.

December 22nd
We will be assured of a white Christmas because 13 more inches of that crap fell today and with the freezing weather it probably won't melt until August. I got all dressed up to go out and shovel (boots, long johns, snowmobile suit, scarf, earmuffs, hat, goggles, and gloves), then I got a wicked urge to piss.

December 23rd
I was going to go ice-fishing today but the worms froze and I didn't want the fish to break their teeth on my fuckin' bait.

December 24th
If I ever catch the son-of-a-bitch that drives the damn snow plow, I'll drag him bare assed through the snow by his balls. I think the bastard hides around the corner and waits until I'm finished shovelling and then comes down the street at 100 miles per hour, just to see how far he can throw that white shit back on to my lawn and driveway.

December 25th
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Ho Ho fuckin' Ho! The weather man predicts 20 more inches of this white bullshit. I wonder if they know just how many shovels full of this white shit 20 inches really is? ASSHOLES!!! Fuck Santa, He doesn't have to bust his balls shovelling this shit. He has his elves do it for him. The snow plow driver came by today and asked for a donation for toys for tots. I wrapped him so fuckin' hard upside his head with my snow shovel... it'll be Christmas in July before the son-of-a-bitch remembers his name.

December 26th
Guess who in hell got 28 inches of snow last night? I think that I'm going blind or getting severe cabin fever because the wife is starting to look really fine to me!

December 27th
It silly ass toilet froze last night. If you go outside don't eat the yellow or brown snow...

December 28th
It was so cold last night all the water pipes froze. I should probably sell tickets so my neighbors can ice skate in my living room. Damn it! This sucks.

December 29th
I set fire to the house today; now let's see that white shit cling to my roof!!!

[RawMaterials]

19. funny'st shit i have read in the longest time

[samplegirl]

21. Ohio looks just simply beautiful right now

[disillusioned1]

22. They said it was going to start snowing here by 6pm

Finally got here by 9pm. It stopped now. The grass isn't even covered. They said we're going to get 8-12. I'll believe it when I see it.

[Dukkha]

23. and I was sent on vacation!

I was given the option to use sick time to leave work early today. I had 67 unused hours so I left today and I get tomorrow and Friday off too!

Snow Day! Snow Day! Snow Day!

It's almost as fun as the great blizzard of '78 when I got weeks off of school!
