homeowners insurance should cover the lost food

^ I'll keep that in mind.  Thankfully, this happened before we did our weekly grocery shopping so what we lost was very minimal - the fridge needed cleaning out anyways.

 

Glad you have your power back on, Haj!

Looks like we are getting another 8-10 inches tomorrow.  Joy.

Jesuit Christmas....!  Don't check weather reports for a day or so, and 1-3" turns into 5-8"

My son may get a 4-day weekend out of this....

EDIT: we got the call tonight, no school tomorrow.....

We had a snow day yesterday as well - it was nice to have an extra day to unwind after 30 hour power outage.

Today, my work has a 2-hour delayed start, the first one in years.  It'll be interesting to see how this works out.

Meh, guess pushing it through a foot high drift was more then the handle could handle.

 

Here in scenic western MA, it's winter ...again.

Sucky in NJ too... woke up to a dusting of snow, enough to have to clean off the car.  Then turned to even more sucky rain, now hail/snow.

 

^^ Yup, lots of early spring flowers taking it on the chin today.

We got 2+ here, just enough to make me wonder if it's worth clearing the driveway to avoid the 3 days of shit that will result if I don't.  Rain Thursday and near 60 Friday have me thinking it's not worth the hassle.

Nate, you just missed a 3-5" band that came a little South of you.  I think we got about 4" here.

Cold for a few days, so I will have to clear some of this out

Calling for 2-4" overnight through tomorrow, where the fuck did spring go??

If you got kicked in the carpels and stamins enough times, wouldn't you leave?

It's like winter never really showed up but now won't leave.

It snowed (off and on) last night, in Chicago, to remind visitors why it is we don't live here

A week ago we sat outside in short sleeves for dinner. It appears that my grand plan for doing something with those piles of bricks this summer is going to wait until next summer.

Yeezh.  I blame global warming.

What's funny is that two hours north it simply rained.  

Was 85° today. At current time (8:30 pm) it's 75°. 

^Yes, it is glorious!

About 50F here in the UK, and looking to cool down during November with night frosts and snow on high ground.

Texas (30N) is on the same latitude as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The UK (51-53N) corresponds to Southern Alaska. Factoid No:47b

Daytona Beach, 29.2N, now 79F, high today 82F. Life does not suck here. Also there is THIS

I knew Jim was going to enjoy rubbing it in once the snow flew!

I put in my time. 12 years in Illinois and the previous 2 in South Dakota.
