How-doFolks · February 26, 2013, 06:33:03 AM

Here we are again! Another snowstorm. We are preparred & staying home. Power has flickered twice already. We have lost DirecTV reception already.

Anyone else effected?

Ugh. Sadly school isn't cancelled here in Springfield, so I have to bundle up really good to go to my classes this morning. As a sufferer of Cold Urticaria, this weather is my archenemy. God, I hate the cold...

(tell us how you *really* feel, Joy!) ;-)

I LOVE IT! The snow is so beautiful! The dog doesn't feel the same...

4th snow day in a row for me (I'm a teacher) and my girls (different district). My DH even called in to work. He ended up having to take our son into town for college, though. Every other school in the county is closed, but the college is having classes. Hopefully the roads are better when he has to go pick him up at 1:30.

Yeah, the snow's fun as long as you don't lose power and don't have to go anywhere

sanddunerider · February 26, 2013, 05:22:15 PM

power was off here about 8 hours, on now and holding steady!!

My wife's school is 30 minutes away, and was cancelled for 3-6in of snow, we had school because here it was just wet rain and slosh.

How-doFolks · February 26, 2013, 09:04:26 PM

looks like the bark was worse than the bite.. our rural roads are already clear & just wet. hi-ways look good, & our power only flickered twice. i was just worried about this ol' farmhouse, that was some heavy wet snow.

here's alil' video we made. make sure & watch at the 1:30 mark, i get busted NOT helping.. maybe it'll give ya all a good laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJV-0ZU9l0A

hope everyone else is safe & warm.

We got 13" of snow here from Rocky and combined with what we already had from Q, we have over two feet of snow on the ground.

No school again tomorrow. This makes our 6th snow day of the school year

Swoosh · February 27, 2013, 08:48:35 PM

We got another 6" of snow today.... and we have another snow day on Thursday

I can't believe they're acting like it's never snowed before in Kansas and Missouri. You expect this reaction in Arkansas and Louisiana, but it's the Midwest!

More support for the notion that if you're going to live where it ever snows, then live where it really snows. We've had snow on the ground since mid-November at our place in New Hampshire. Getting 3-5 inches every day for a full week is just normal, and they haven't shut down anything. I think they opened school late one day.

Swoosh · February 27, 2013, 09:49:14 PM

The difference is when you get over a foot of snow in one day. I'm also sure that since New Hampshire is only 9,350 sq mi, it is a WHOLE lot easier to get the roads cleared in a shorter amount of time. Unfortunately, New Hampshire is the same land mass as only 6 counties combined in Missouri. Not too difficult to do the math there.
