I'm in Oklahoma and we got beautiful snow yesterday. Of course it's beautiful-- we don't have to get out in it anymore.

I can't imagine 12"-18" .

I miss snow, says the girl who lives in Florida. I always enjoyed it when I lived up North.

OH MY! I'm in VA and we are getting flooding rain. The ditches are full. I'm glad it isn't snow or I'd be shoveling paths for my short Jack Russell. I had to carry her out twice today already.

Keep safe inside!

Be ever so careful @catter70 - it's supposed to be a heavy wet snow - the type that puts a person in the hospital with a hurt "ticker"!

I'm in Philly....

My husband had hip replacement surgery in August - from week 2 he was leaping capital T's in a single bound, but I told him absolutely no shoveling, I will do it. (and he'll have to supervise).

i like a fresh snow on Xmas Eve enough to still have a few inches on Xmas. After that, I am done with snow.

We're due to get "only" 6 inches. Compared to our neighbors to the south of The Finger Lakes, where I live, the downstaters are going to get hit really hard. Given that I am retired and home due to Covid, I can enjoy looking at the snow.

RI is in for it too! I can say I don't mind too much as I love snow for Christmas. On the other hand the only thing that does concern me is the possibility of losing the power.

We just had a nor easter a little over a week ago and we lost power for 11 hours! Our townhouse is high up on an old small ski resort so the winds we get are always worse than our surrounding area.

I love the snow especially when it covers the ground, street and trees. It's picture perfect. I hope we get some for Christmas.

@Mombo1 @catter70 NE PA here. DD is planning to work from home Wednesday and Thursday. She has a 70 mile round trip commute and no sense risking life and limb driving in that weather.

I guess I better brave a store tomorrow and grab a couple things.

This is the best part of retirement, you don't get up, look out the window and cringe.

We got snow last night, but it didn't stick.

My daughter lives in northwest Arkansas, and she got about 5 inches!

@Katcat1 The first 1 or 2 snowfalls are pretty, after the umpteeth the shine wears off.

One year in the late 1990s when I worked we didn't work a full week for about 3 months. We had snow so bad we either got let out early or they closed the office at least 1 day a week. It was nuts.

1996 in January we had flooding for 2 consecutive weekends and the 3rd weekend we had a blizzard. We moved the day after the blizzard. Luckily, it was only 4 miles.

Wow! I feel your pain. I lived in Pgh, PA most of my life. Loved the snow as a child but not as an adult. I moved to Virginia in 2006 and am finally enjoying sunny days! We do get chilly weather, little snow and rarely an ice storm. My family still lives in PA. so I still travel there but I'm oh soooo happy when I return home to VA. Be safe out there!

Oops, I had a brain hiccup. It was blizzard, blizzard and the 3rd weekend flood. It warmed up and all the snow melted.

Everybody getting hammered by rain or snow, stay safe. My neighbor will get the snow blower out to do that heavy snow. Due to COPD, I can't do much of anything. I'm so lucky to have wonderful neighbors. I will, later, go out to try and get rid of the slush on the sidewalk and driveway. Not sure if I can do it or not. Take care to you all.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 what area do you live in? Is it snow or lake effect snow?

I'm in the area of WV predicted to see 3-6". Snow days and pajama days with my family are always welcome, but I'm already wondering if the contractors are ever going to finish this job, and measurable snow is not going to help them get out of here any faster!
