What a Mess

QVCkitty1 — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 15:02:14 GMT

Well I bundled up this AM. and decided to start working on the snow. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't get the back door opened. I finally stuck a broom through a small opening, and worked on it till I got it opened. We have been spoiled around here, as we haven't had a storm like this in a while. This will be a process. LOL.

Take it slow and easy - take breaks - come inside and get warm. Stay safe! How much do you suppose you got?

@QVCkitty1 What state are you in that you got so much snow?

I live in Northern Va and we got maybe 2 inches...it's cold though.

I feel for you! Here in western PA the wind is much worse today and we had more snow overnight and this am than yesterday. Not a great deal of snow compared to the East but blowing and drifting because of lake effect. Apparently we have been caught in one of the snow bands. Crazy,crazy weather!

I am on the NY/NJ border. We got about 13 inches. Went out to feed the birds. Had a very hard time getting the storm door open. Had to go across deck,down stairs,across patio to the feeder. Snow was over my knees. It wasn't easy. Schools closed yesterday and today. We did have mail delivery yesterday though. LOL.

Add about twenty to that here. Hard to tell, wicked winds and major drifting, plus sleet during blizzard. It took my friend six attempts to make it up driveway. He's got oversized truck and snow was going up to hood so he kept making "snowballs" on side as he went. One snowball, about halfway up is at least as tall as me Iced in now, and Eddy, my furbaby wants more sweet potatoes, but none left! You got any room for us in VA?

Are you near Binghamton? They got 31.3" yesterday (!), which was a 24-hour record for them.

I'm about an hour west of Binghamton.

@eddyandme Sure! Come on....what you need to know about Va is we are divided. You see the upper part (nearest to DC are very .....ummm...from 'out of town')...down here in these parts....we are the opposite...

People down here like to think we're more in the 'country'. We don't like them there city folks! Ha! Really, you could draw a line down Rt395!

Supposedly it's hard to predict what weather or how much we'll get on this side of Va versus nearer the DC side! When we go to bed we never know what will happen.

This goes on Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall...makes no difference...they talk about this 'invisible' line that means we could have feet or inches...

One thing though...my cat Katie will share...she's crazy and you'll probably never see here (my family have never seen her) and Bill is good unless you go near his food. That cat wants to eat 24 hours a day! Drives me crazy. He's famous on the internet. Turns over the trash (looking for food), opens all of the cabinets (looking for food)...

Everyone says diplomatically, "My goodness! He's big". Not just chubby but long! Come on...we'll work it out...Don't bring any snow with you though...

@QVCkitty1 ... Be careful out there in that snow! I live in Northern Wisconsin so I know what heavy snow is like. I heard on the Weather Channel that this snow is the heavy, wet stuff, and each shovel full weighs 11 lbs. They said that some people with driveways, sidewalks, etc. will be moving as much as 12,000 lbs! Don't forget about the weight on the roof! We haven't had a big snow storm this year. It's been a freaky year. However, many years we have had to get the roof shoveled too by a professional roof shoveling service.

@Annabellethecat66

Been to VA years ago - beautiful state!

Eddy LOVES the snow, but, I promise, we won't bring any!

Don't worry about Katie and Bill, Eddy prefers 'people food' with his Fromms. I probably have the only furbaby in the world who loves brussel sprouts!!!!!

Keep warm - gonna have a high of 24 this afternoon. Praying for summer to come soon, very, very soon!

In my neck of the woods we got a total of 18 inches yesterday according to the news. My husband got a jump on it yesterday so we were able to move around our property without a problem. Today he's running the snow blower again and shoveling all the snow out of the back of his truck. Schools in our area are closed again today so there is very little traffic on the local roads.This too shall pass!

You get me, that's for sure. I'm happiest with a book and a hot cup of tea. However a kitty has to do what a kitty has to do. LOL 🐱
