Glad you guys liked the photos!

It wouldn't have been as bad if it were just snow, but it was 1/2" of sleet, 3" of snow, 1/2" of freezing rain/ice, and 3" more snow.  Nasty, nasty.  Schools closed up here because several of them don't have power.  The ice pulled the lines themselves down, as well as limbs landing on them. 

Nice pics. I hate sleet/freezing rain on top of snow. We had an ice storm in Dec that resulted in over a million power outages across the state.

We got about 16 inches of snow on Wed. Pretty to look at, but not fun to shovel

@CindyJ:  If I could through or throw a snowball to Australia, I would!  You definitely need it!

@Z: 16 inches!!!  I have never seen that amount of snow.  The most I've ever seen is 10-12" and I was in 6th grade then, so I don't really remember. 

We've gotten more snow/ice the past couple years than we had, though, so I'm happy.  There were a few years where we didn't get much of anything.  Maybe a few light dustings if we were lucky.

And that was on top of a couple of feet that was still on the ground... or at least I think there's still ground underneath all that snow

oh wow that looks so beautiful!

What kind of camera do you have? I think I want one

16 inches is nothing. Once when I was living in the mountains, it snowed seven feet in one storm. I bailed early in the storm and drove down to the city (where it snowed only about three feet) so that I wouldn't be stranded. I couldn't get back to the mountain house for four days, and there was still a foot of snow on the road they couldn't plow. Even the highway was barely passable.

It's a Canon!    Exciting, no?    This is one of the few times that the pics have come out really well. <--says more about operator than camera...hah!

I wouldn't have any idea what to do with the amounts of snow you all are describing.  I just can't wrap my head around it.  It doesn't snow that much in KY.  That's probably a good thing, seeing how we don't really know what to do when we just get a few inches!

today has had the heaviest snow in south east england for 18 years. All public transport in London is at a standstill, I am at my parents in Coventry - hoping the train to London runs tomorrow.

don't most trains roll on wheels?

snow snow and more snow.

Somebody is going to answer for this.

snow snow and more snow.


I'm blaming global warming

I was thinking the same.

Plus I was going to blame the government (all governments that have ever, do, or will, exist)

You can pretty much blame the government for just about everything.

Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

Thank goodness we've progressed in this country where 80 year old jokes about the government no longer apply....what?  they still do?  awww dammit!

Never mind


P.S.  Great pictures!

Thanks!  It's snowing a bit today too.  It was (relatively) warm yesterday, so I wasn't happy when I went out this morning.

It's snowing here too.  I'm not going to shovel until tomorrow since I don't have to go to work anymore.

It's summer where I am. You would not know it for all the rain though 

On my way home, the thermometer said 13.  Ridiculous.

Is that cold? I assume you mean degrees faren... rather than celcius. Cause
13 C is only a little chilly but comfortable.

I think the USA is the only place to use miles/hr and pounds. Why?

I've never seen real snow (except on tv) does everything stop (schools, services, governments (not that they do much anyway) )

it does in the uk. our temperate/drizzly climate leads us to shut down during any extreme weather conditions.
