The Never Ending Winter...

Here we are...this is the view from my front porch tonight.

Not exactly what I had in mind!!

I'd rather be looking at a beach...

At the very least...perhaps a Palm Tree!

Nope.

We are under yet another Winter Storm Warning...ten inches.

Sigh...

The Treacherous Trip to the Store

I admit...when I have a coupon for Michael's or JoAnn's (or A.C. Moore or Hobby Lobby!!) I hate to waste it.

So, I casually mention to Ben that I have to run to the grocery store to pick up a couple of things for dinner. Had I looked outside I might have reconsidered. I mean...I knew that it was snowing.

I did NOT know that it was really TREACHEROUS outside!!!

It was BAD. Really Bad.

I have never been a huge fan of driving in the snow. When I had to go to work every day and I worked 40 miles from home...well...I sure got used to it. But, I never liked it.

When I was in an accident the winter before last, it pretty much ended my driving in the winter. I have to admit...I'm a little scared.

One might actually say...TERRIFIED. Especially on days like today.

So, Ben decided that he would drive me to the grocery store...and I suggested we make a "quick" stop at JoAnn's so I could run in and use my coupon!! Great productive little shopping trip....they had a bunch of goodies on sale!

I didn't like the roads on the way there...but it calmed down a bit by the time we were headed home.

Tonight...we have spent several hours watching people getting pulled out of the ditches near our house. Even the NYS Thruway was closed to Tractor Trailer traffic...a very good idea when it is so bad out.

We lost count as to how many cars were off the road. We live out in the wide open country...so with the heavy snow and the fact that it was so windy....we have some MAJOR drifts out there!!!

Looking forward to staying IN tomorrow!!

Views From My Window!

More On The Way...

Just in case we weren't sick of it yet...

More Snow on the way for today...

Winter Weather Advisories are becoming an everyday thing now

Along with Winter Storm Warnings...

At least I don't live in Connecticut...

My brother has FORTY inches of snow on his roof!!

YIKES!!

Stay safe and warm guys!!

Welcome to February....NOT!

Cities Potentially Impacted:
Detroit | Buffalo | Syracuse | Rochester | Burlington | Concord | Manchester | Augusta

Impacts:
Although winds will not be as much of an issue in the Northeast, this storm still means business. Upstate New York and all of northern New England can expect at least 10 inches of snow from this storm. Some spots may experience a snowfall nearing 2 feet!

This will likely be a heavy, wet snow, much like the snowstorm that struck Washington, D.C., last week. The weight of the snow could bring down tree limbs and power lines.

YEAH.

This is NOT what we need.  A little side trip to Bermuda seems like a really good idea right now...don't you think??

The girlz do not like the wind or the ice...Chloe had a real problem with her leg last time it was icy. 

But they LOVE the snow! 

Remington Sent SNOW!!

Our friend, Remington, told us that he was going to send us some of his snow!  And he DID!!!  Check it out!!!

February Snowstorm!

We got buried in snow! The girlz love it! Here's a few pics for your viewing pleasure...some of these views are out our front windows...and some of them are from my office window. I will be very glad when all the snow has disappeared...I am flying out of town and really don't want to deal with all of the bad weather!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in Chile...
