    Where is Global Warming when you need it. Last Friday we got 4-6 inches of snow in Atlanta. and they predicted a dusting today. There is still snow in my back yard left from Friday. We have been averaging about 15 degrees below average.

    Our snowman has lost its head and is doing one heck of a back bend, but it is still there. The 4 foot tall snowball we made is still there as well, and my 7 year old son doesn't think it will ever melt.

    High today is only supposed to reach 41 with an 80% chance of rain and possibly more snow. It has been a very long time since we have had weather like this in South Carolina.

    Default Snow...

    It's only 25 degrees here but it is very windy...so it doesn't even feel that warm. We aren't supposed to drive anywhere only emergency vehicles are supposed to be on the roads, the snow is blowing so hard you can't see! I've shoveled my driveway three times already in case I go to work tomorrow...it was cancelled today! Last week we had about 9 inches and a lot was still on the ground and today I think we have about 10 or 11...hard to tell with all the snow drifting everywhere! AND I'm bored to death!

    Being forced to stay inside does have its downside. After all, there is only so much sleeping and watching tv one can deal with.

    The other night I thought about driving into town during the storm. However, when I reached the paved road I could not even see where the actual sides of the road were. I went about 2 miles and turned around. I figured I might be able to make it to town without too much trouble; however, could not trust the other knuckleheads that might be on the road at that same time.

    We've had a total accumulation of almost 7 feet this season. No trash pick up for 3 weeks...good thing I don't amass much and it's too cold for anything to smell! On top of that, I ran out of propane...no heat. Have to shovel out the access so they can deliver fuel tomorrow afternoon

    Sure puts a crimp in the Spydering.

    Running out of propane has to suck! How are you staying warm? I certainly hope you have an alternate form of heat.

    Same here. Our winter has been pretty mild compared to years past. Only had to clear snow from the driveway 4 times this year and only heard of school closings on one day (which happened just last week).

    Our winter here in the west-central part of the mitten has been pretty steady. Certainly less severe than last year's record breaker, but above average snowfall and a little cool. Funny how that works. We stand at a bit over five feet of snow for the winter so far, which is a little above our five foot average. To the west they are the same, even though Kalamazoo averages six feet a year, and the lakeshore 7-8 feet. Odd year! We almost never have more snow than those to our west.

    Default Somewhere I heard...

    Somewhere I heard it stated that we were slipping into a mini ice age, today I'm more inclined to believe that. Although, I think it is just making a mountain out of a molehill.

    I found one link...

    Yup and all this global warmer/global cooling is cyclical. It's been this way for millions of years.

    I am seriously hoping it warms up before I head to your neck of the woods on March 4.
