well, that totally and completely sucked
Edited on Thu Dec-21-06 01:09 AM by kagehime
took me an hour to get home (it normally takes less than 10 minutes) and my car is just kinda sitting near the middle of the street cuz it was not moving any more.

hooray for knee-deep snow

at least i can work from home tomorrow

eta: i am extremely grateful to the two young men who towed my car so i could be closer to my house and park a bit closer to the curb.

9. I'm Guessing A Couple Of Feet
I was out earlier and sitting in the car on the phone in a parking lot and they plowed it. By the time I got off the phone there was a couple of inches back on the ground (40 min)

Then I went inside a gym here and came out an hour and a half later and there was another 6 inches

Still coming down.

I'm guessing at the 2 foot mark, it's blown around a lot.

:hi:

Edited on Thu Dec-21-06 01:08 AM by kagehime
either there's too much snow or not enough, it's too hot or too cold. we sure are picky for people who live in a place with such unpredictable and nutty weather :)

5. My dear kagehime!
Oh, you have my complete sympathies!

Knee-deep snow? :scared:

I cannot even imagine it.....

This part of California does NOT get any snow, evah!

You take care, OK?

Stay safe, and especially warm! :hug:

11. eh,
she's short, so knee-deep doesn't mean much... :rofl:

Just teasing Kagehime. :D I'm in the same blizzard, and it's a LOT of snow. I'm sorry you had to go out in it. :hug:

My car is buried, at least the fron half; the back half barely has any snow, so far, but the pile behind it keeps getting taller.... :scared:

12. I'm jealous
There's no snow here in northeastern Minnesota. Only the piles from where I shoveled 2 weeks ago. I'm hoping we get a good, heavy, Minnesota snow really soon. We've had the temps, for the most part (except a couple weeks of above normal temps, hell, we've already had below zero temps too.), just not the precip. Here's hoping for some good snow soon.

19. Can we have some?
New York State is dry as a bone and darn near balmy. It's creepy. We're usually up to our eyeballs in the white stuff this time of year. Wanna go sledding! :(
