Here is a few snaps here for about 7: 30 here in lower New Mexico. It's freaking freezing here too, MissTwinklytoes! Below -15, and hoping my water pipes haven't busted. Haha. Have cold water, but not heated. =/ And the meter wasn't going nuts, so I guess that's a good thing so far...

MSU is closed for the first time since 1975.

And you know what? It's really not that bad! :lol:

I'd estimate that we've gotten maybe 6 or 8 inches since last night? But I guess its supposed to snow all day.

I'm about 50 miles SW of Chicago. Can't see out any windows because the screens are packed with snow and winds are still upwards of 20 MPH. Opened the garage door to see what I could see, and I have no idea where the road is and drifting is still considerable. I stayed home, and actually called in last night. I don't plan on digging out til later this afternoon when the winds are supposed to die down a bit. No plows last night, and as of this writing, no plows since I've been up which is about 3 hours now. The only blessing in all of this is our power stayed on. It went out 5 or 6 times last night, but always came back on within a few seconds. Made me more than a little nervous. Some people in the area have been without power since yesterday evening.

From the ice storm

We had an awesome ice storm here yesterday. I was going to get some pics this morning, but it got warm enough overnight that it was almost all gone by the time I got up.... :irked:

Damnt, snowplows made it to my house, no excuse for calling in.
Hahaha, as I was typing this, my Manager called, the store is staying closed today.

11:45 am north of Toronto. Snowing nicely now. I finished blowing out the driveway an hour ago.

There's a seat on the wooden garden thing on the right side. It's just covered by 6 inches of snow and counting.

Had a bunch of ice in Omaha Sunday night into Monday morning. Serious bad roads, and I even have snow tires on my car...

3-5" of snow Monday afternoon through Tuesday night. Then the winds kicked up. 30 MPH last night, still gusting about that much now. Schools closed Tuesday and Wednesday, but not the university. of course.

I had to go in to work Tuesday at 4. Spent 20 minutes chipping the 1/4" of ice off my windows, drove the treacherous city streets, walk in the door, hands shaking, and they tell me that we're closing at 6:30. WTMF! I drove all the way here for 2.5 hours of work?! That's $15 after taxes. I spent more money in gas defrosting my car to get there. Really pissed off about that...

crappy cell phone shot this morning of the 4" of ice on the roof of my trailblazer.

shot thru the windshielf of about 2" of snow and 3" of sleet on top of that on the hood of the car.
