Weather ☃️

QVCkitty1 — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 00:06:04 GMT

I went to bed last night expecting up to a foot of snow. Imaginemy surprise this morning when faced with over 30 " of the white stuff ! It was daunting because it was heavy and hard to deal with. A city about an hour from me got 41 ". Last year we got hardly more than a dusting , this is a whole different ball game. Well I guess we will have a white Christmas. ☃️🎄☃️

I live in the midwest and it's been a number of years since I've seen that much snow when I grew up in Iowa. My jaw dropped when I saw the 30". Stay safe!

@QVCkitty1

Do you live on the East Coast?

That’s a lot to shovel

@Reconnaissant , Yes I do, and it required a snow blower and shovels , and there is still more to do tomorrow.

@jannabelle1 , When I tried to walk through it this AM, I fell over into a big snow bank. I felt like a turtle on it's back, and must have look ridiculous. 😊

So now I feel like I shouldn't complain, I got about 10 inches. I will say I do all the shoveling, the rain and sleet did me no favors, the snow was icy and heavy to shovel. Did anyone else not get mail? What happened to the credo of through snow, sleet, and hail we will get mail?

@Jordan2 , Complain away, heavy snow is heavy snow and ice just makes it worse. No mail for us, but I understand completely.

@Jordan2 Probably wouldn't have been much of a problem if the snowstorm hadn't come during Christmas rush. We received mail although later than usual. We have a mail truck not a walking mailman but for each climbing over snowbanks probably slowed things down also.

I'm also on the east coast and was also expecting about a foot. Was surprised by the 4 or so inches that we got!

@QVCkitty1 I actually don't mind when I don't get mail, no bills!

We were lucky. We were told 24 inches of snow and only got around 10 inches.

My DH got up early this morning and cleared everything cleared off by the time I got up. We are fortunate to have a huge snow blower. Most of our neighbors do as well.

All we got was rain. Heavy rain! Street flooding in the usual spots.

Initially they said we would get an inch or two of snow. I would've loved to see that.

Where I live (Utah) were used to getting that much snow. But the last couple if years we haven't had any in the valley. I'm getting worried. Even if the plants are dormant they still need moisture.

I live about 35 miles inland from the eastern shore of Lake Michigan - otherwise known as lake effect snow territory. Snow, snow, and more snow are typical. We just move it out of the way and keep going. That's why I have a beach place to escape to!

This year has been unusual though. No snow to speak of, at least not since I've come back north for a bit. A dusting here and there but that's it. I played golf 3 times last week. Too cold for that now though.
