The latest Nor'easter and

Shorty2U — Fri, 23 Mar 2018 05:25:32 GMT

Well the Nor'easter left us with 14 & 1/2 inches of snow here in PA on Wednesday. What a day. I never thought the snow would end (but it could have been worse) My DH had to use the snow blower twice (And he shoveled the deck twice). He also was nice and did our new neighbors property figuring they're are a young couple, just starting out and didn't have a snow blower (he was right and they thanked him).

But, I was glad he made it home safe (DH is a boss, but he was able to leave work early when the next boss came in). And the plows couldn't keep up because it was snowing so hard, but our Subaru pushed through! (thank you Subaru, we love our Subarus! lol) Son stayed at his dads near his job (thankfully because since he moved he has a 1& 1/2 hour drive each way!) Daughter, Son in law ,and grandkids were off work (and school Wed and Thurs).

Today- I decorated for Easter inside and out (except my garden flag due to the snow). And I put Spring artificial flowers in the vases in our house, HOPING me doing so will bring warmer weather and the END to snow! :-)

@Shorty2U, you really got a lot! The last two nor’easters didn’t bring as much snow to Nova Scotia as it did to the US. The good thing is that the snow is melting fast these days! Hoping to see the end of it soon. LM

My son is in NYC for business this week. He drives a lot once he's there. I was very worried for him when this storm was approaching. But, where he is, they only got about 3" he said. But traveling around he saw a lot of snow, depending on where you are. We live in Michigan so he's accustomed to snow but he experienced his very first "noreaster".

I live east of NYC & we got 18 1/2 ❄️ inches of the white junk!! I’m so tired of shoveling & worrying about driving.

I can’t wait for the warm ☀️ weather!! The older I get the more I dislike winter in the Northeast!!

I fell and sprained my ankle shovelling snow I did not realize the ice underneath and boom down on my foot. Glad I did not break it but oh the pain is horrible. Be very careful out there folks.

Sounds like you made the best of your day.I hope that snow melts quickly and spring gets hold on the weather.

I can’t believe that your son has such a long commute...I would have to move closer to that job.Nice of your DH to clean the neighbors drive too.I bet they enjoyed that treat more than you will ever know.

South Joisey checking in....

14 inches of snow. The snow plow turned my car into an igloo. I let the sun melt the snow & use deicer to melt the ice off my car. I don't care if it takes months.

I live in a highrise. Prison inmates go around complexes digging cars out for seniors & disabled.

@Mz iMac When they finish digging them all out the'll go around either stealing one or go through the cars cleaning them out. Sorry had to say that. Lol lol no thanks. I think I can clean off my own car.

Thanks for the replies, lots of snow melted already here so I hope its melting where you all are too..

Im sorry about your ankle Apple! I hope you feel better.

I hope this is the end of the snow for all of us.

And my son commutes 1 & 1/2 hours each way because recently he moved to where his fiance' lives being they are getting married in less than 2 months. He intends to find a new job closer to their new home after the honeymoon!

My kids packed up and went skiing once the snow stopped. They were thrilled.
