OMG-enough already!!!!!!!
Permalink  
 


Ok, so who has a place in the tropics and is willing to let me take up residence for a while???

I am so sick of snow.  I know so many of you think it would be great, but seriously???  Enough is enough.  Between the Dec. blizzard, this blizzard and the other snows we have had, we are currently at over 60" for the season.  And now they are predicting that we will get ANOTHER 8-10+" tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:ahh (I REALLY miss that guy, lol)

This is me:

omfg.gif and frustrated.gif

This is what I WANT to be me:

relax.gif

April, are you with me on this or what???  OMG!!!!!

yeah, that would get old.

I  better get this snow storm before it hits you.

I am willing to join you though in the tropics.

I am ready to pack my bags and go!

Are you supposed to get some this round?  The weather guy last night said this was the convergence of two systems headed our way, but I didn't pay attention to where each of those were headed before they get here.

My poor ILs though-they have been out of power since SATURDAY NIGHT.  They have a fireplace and a generator that they are running at night, but the lows have been in the single digits and low teens here-COLD for us.

UGH.  I just want spring SO BADLY.

I guess the one silver lining could be that maybe the kids around here won't be *as* sick as it normal this time of year?  I mean, they may not be back in school until Easter!!!!

Yikes. This has by far been our best winter. This weekend was the first time we've been snowed in. I thought we were just about out of the woods but between Friday's storm and the one that's going on over the next couple of days, all my relief is gone. I definately don't envy you guys!!!

I am with you!  We have had lots of snow too, but just not as much as you.  Still, more is coming tonight and I really don't see any warm temps anytime soon.  What's worse is we were in Florida, part of the time in south Florida, and hardly saw sun and a temp as high as 72 (for one day).  For that area, that is really cold and unusual.

So wherever you pick, make sure it's really, really sunny.

We are getting some of that storm also. We've had like six snowfalls this season which seems like a lot to me(the biggiest only bringing 5-6 inches though). I say I like living where I get 4 seasons but I think I could do without 1 of them now.

Snow sucks, doesn't it?? LOL.  And go figure, this is the year my parents decide to take the family for a ski vaca in a few weeks.  My kids are SO tired of snow, they won't even want to go!!! (thankfully there are a few indoor pools in the resort, and they have crafts and stuff too-and I bet Anna will like the skiing)

What is this about global warming???  This is easily going to be the biggest snowfall total for a winter season EVER in our area.  The record to beat here is 62.5" from '95-'96 (I remember that winter-I was in WV in college, but it was BRUTAL), and we are already over 60".

LOL-I think we need to head further than FL-someplace truly tropical.  An island somewhere!!!  With a pool bar too...

When we got the first blizzard in December, I had a feeling this was going to be a rough winter.  BLAH.

How is Elizabeth feeling about it?  Anna still wants to play in it, but Kate is DONE.  She very emphatically tells us NO when we ask if she wants to go play in the snow.

LOL-ITTTTTTTTTA right now.  I have been thinking this whole winter that maybe moving south makes sense, lol.  We could always travel to a ski place during the winter months to get our snow fix!!!

We dodged a bullet this past weekend, but we are supposed to get a foot on Wednesday. I am done with winter. I think we need a MS meetup in the Carribean next winter!

How are you feeling, btw?

It was bad enough when they were saying it was going to be 8-10", now they are saying 10" minimum, possibly more like 20"!!!!!  WTF????????

This winter sucks.  And all the kids and teachers will be in school until the 4th. (though I think they will forgive some if it is a state of emergency)

that totally sucks about your ILs.  your area really did get more of it's share. we didnt even get a flurry up here, and we were supposed to get like a foot. apparently the pressure in your area (or however it works) prevented it from moving up to NY.  so thanks, and sorry!!
