Thanks for asking. I say we pretty much dodged a bullet here in St. Louis City. Just colder than a well-diggers butt. (:

Wish I could say the same. Close to 15" of snow here. My back is killing me from having to shovel the driveway. Next time Lowe's gets a shipment of snowblowers in, I am definitely buying one! :roflblack:

Tho, just north of us and to the east, Indiana got a lot of ice or sleet, covered everything & downed branches causing electric to go out for many. I saw last night on the news, that In part of Chicago, ppl had to leave their cars sitting on the highway & walk to safety. A day later, all their cars are still there & almost intirely covered with snow :yikes:

We definitely dodged the bullet here in Cycny, I couldn't ryde the past 2 days do to sleet & rain, but was able to ryde in to work today. 19 degrees & everyone thinks I'm insane, but when your prepared right, it's as enjoyable as any other ryde :doorag: I love my RT-S :yes::firstplace:

really hope everyone is OK,http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/TicketBait/smileys/SPYDER%20RTS/Angel_anim.gif read in the newspaper this morning where they showed a photo titled
"Stranded In Chicago", More than 20 inches of snow brought Lake Shore Drive to a standstill as a
historic blizzard paralyzed much of the Midwest and Plains states.

We're doing fine in the Cereal City. We were spared the brunt of the storm, and only got about a foot...although there were some large drifts. I calculated that I moved around seven tons of snow in 12 hours...at least a third of that shoveled. I also raked the snow off the roof. Thankless job, that requires cutting it into blocks and shoveling it up afterward. The sun is shining brightly now...and they even plowed our street for the first time in a month.

Chicago got slammed...that's for sure. Even more amazing than the pictures of the hundreds of cars abandoned on Lakeshore Drive, was the fact that the Drive was open this morning! Those folks know how to move snow.....and cars.

Twenty inches easily over two days of storms. That it came in batches made it better. I plowed three separate times. But, we're all cleared out. My driveway is shrinking a bit as now the mounds on the sides of the drive are frozen and can't be pushed with the plow when I'm adding more snow to them. And the plow only pushes the snow just so high. It's not a bucket loader!

I have a saint of a husband who shovels and shovels and shovels all our walks and doggie trails. There are days of shoveling left to do because there is so much needing to be cleared. But we manage. When we can't, it will be time to move.

I live north west of Chicago and we had 18" to 24" :gaah:. The wind was wicked all night with some major drifts. The Nation Guard had to rescue people of the Interstate and county roads. The photo is looking out of my office. The highway dept did a great job of having the roads back open within a few hours after the snow stopped. :firstplace:

Its in the 20's here. Houston got freezing rain and the whole place is shut down. Outside it sounds like Christmas morning. No cars on the road.

Its supposed to get into the 50's tomorrow. Maybe then I can pick up Spydee from the dealer. :pray:

It's in the mid-20s with snow on top of ice in Tyler, Texas and the trike class we were supposed to do this weekend has been rescheduled.

I have hibernated in the city of Allen, TX... 20 miles north of Dallas. We got another 4-6" of snow last night and this morning. That's on top of the ice we've have for the last 3-4 days.

We're not used to extended winters down here. :helpsmilie:
