1. Oh, my gosh

That's awful!

[AsahinaKimi]

2. ikr?

[Aerows]

3. Holy cow!

That's a lot of snow.

[AsahinaKimi]

4. A couple more..

"Knock! Knock!" Whose.... there.


Someone found Nemo...

[obxhead]

7. That Nemo is awesome!

I'm also very happy that I can not go outside and make one myself right now.

[AsahinaKimi]

8. what do you think they used for colors?

Spray paint? Orange spray paint? wow... its a cute photo though!

[obxhead]

16. My guess would be spray paint.

It almost looks like the orange marking paint a utility company or landscaper would use, which is made to spray with the can upside down.

[AsahinaKimi]

21. okay..

That makes sense!

[Mira]

13. OMG that first one is mind blowing

On my table are blooming Narcissus from my garden.
One and a half months too early, even in the South

[dixiegrrrrl]

57. Mine are blooming too!

The plum tree went into bloom a couple of weeks ago, then we got a cold snap, the blooms dropped off.
no plums again this year, looks like.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. wonder if that door pic was stage. Looks like someone might

have packed the snow up against it. totally cool pic though

[AsahinaKimi]

44. How about this one?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. is that from this storm? looks familiar from last one. Hey, love this pic

Hartford Courant

[GoCubsGo]

51. It could very well be real.

I lived through a few blizzards back in Chicago where the snow drifted up to the roof tops in some places. If you had a door on the side of the house where the snow drifted, that's what one would find if they opened that door. It's like that in in northern MN-WI-MI, and out in the Rockies, Cascades and High Sierras.

[xtraxritical]

55. I grew up in Chicago also and this "up to" two feet of snow is nothing special IMHO.

[GoCubsGo]

62. For Chicago, it isn't.

For the NYC/Boston areas, it is. They don't normally see those amounts of snow dumped on them at one time. Hell, down here in the South, a mere dusting is a big deal.

[freshwest]

64. Yes, I've seen that out here. A friend in Idaho had a 3-story with doors on all three because of it.

She had to pay a fortune to get the snow removed every year, too. Because the homeowners were required to pay for it.

[SemperEadem]

38. that top photo...

I would have just fallen to the ground and cried.

[AsahinaKimi]

49. To the ground?

You mean into the snow? .. I don't see any ground!!! OMG!! there is no ground!! Its totally snow!!


Sorry, I get easily excitable! And I am just kidding..

[SemperEadem]

82. the picture of the snow drift outside the front door.

[sellitman]

5. My snow pile.

Under this pile is my car.
[IMG][/IMG]

[AsahinaKimi]

6. wow!

its a winter wonderland!

[Little Star]

22. lol! That sucks!

[barbtries]

29. wow

so much snow. stay cozy!

[SemperEadem]

34. dude... I feel for you

went through this back in 2010 when the Snowpocalypse rolled through DC.

We were fortunate in our area that the county plowed all of the streets in our municipality, so once my landlord, his helper and I got the backyard/driveway cleared, we could get out.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Think this might be my sister's car. Haven't confirmed

yet. Central CT. She said she shoveled 4 inches last night and woke to find
29 more inches and could hardly open door.

[AsahinaKimi]

10. Thats amazing...

I would imagine there will be lots of buried car photos!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Manchester CT. Guess this is where she stopped for a rest

[AsahinaKimi]

12. A red Shovel!!

I bet it be hard to lose that in a snow bank!!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. traffic cone orange. my christmas gift

to my dad because I couldn't think of anything else. hahaha

[AsahinaKimi]

18. hey!

That works too! I like the candy apple red though!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. snow on roof

[AsahinaKimi]

19. owie...

My neck is hurting, just looking up there! ..great photo

[FailureToCommunicate]

25. Luddite question here: How are you able to post your own pics here without

a web link?

Great snow pic, BTW. They're saying another 6" or so thru today. Maybe Boston's 6th place storm ranking will go up?

[AsahinaKimi]

27. A suggestion is to upload them to Photobucket.com

Then click on the link and you can repost the photos here. Its really simple.

[FailureToCommunicate]

81. That does sound simple, thanks!

[SemperEadem]

33. I know that feeling..

the "aw, fuck it" moment...

[AsahinaKimi]

40. Thats when people resort to

creativity!

[tpsbmam]

48. Oh man, I lived in Manchester for the 4 years I was in grad school and working

at Newington Children's Hospital (no longer there). One year, we had a foot of snow a week.....my backyard looked like that all winter. I had a little westie who gathered snowballs on her coat -- first and only dog I ever had who had to wear a snowsuit! Sort of makes me homesick -- those were great years!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

66. Really....small world. Born in Hartford, raised in Manchester. I used to

think Manchester was so boring. But, think it made for better and more fun relationships with friends and family.

where are you now?

[tpsbmam]

72. Western NC.....

the Asheville area. Manchester was PERFECT for the time I was in grad school. Went to Trinity for college, UConn grad school & worked at NCH -- did research there & some co-treatment with my supervisor there. Manchester was sort of plop in the middle of Storrs and Newington, so it worked really, really well for me.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

75. Interesting. I don't think I have ever known anyone who went to Trinity

We used to sled on that huge hill on campus. My BIL was the research librarian at UCONN. Did you ever go to Shady Glen? We stopped there at Christmas and it has not changed one iota since we were kids. Still have that great crispy cheeseburger

I did an assignment in Rocky Mount and took a weekend trip to western NC. Didn't make it to Ashville - but had a
great time in the new wine country in Yadkinville. It is really a beautiful state. so green. The most fun we had
was going to an emerald mine and you get to pan for emeralds in a stream. And, of course stopped at Andy Griffith's home town - corny but fun.

[amuse bouche]

20. Feel empthy for apartment building managers

People start driving them nuts while it's still snowing. "When you gonna plow the parking lot"?

They don't care that the streets are still blocked and that it's illegal to drive anywhere...just get the parking lot plowed

[Laura PourMeADrink]

68. your name made me think....we just got a very fancy printed

invitation to eat at the country club for valentine's day. They actually
had a section of the menu titled "AMUSE BUCHE". I almost died
laughing.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. still love this pic...a guy trying to stop his car from being towed in Hartford

[AsahinaKimi]

24. I wonder if he is barefoot in the snow

His buddy might be wearing sandals. I guess a person might drop everything to prevent his car from being towed away...but
wow.. I just wonder how long he can stand there before he realizes..."DAMN! ITS FREAKING COLD OUT HERE!" GREAT photo, thanks for sharing

[FailureToCommunicate]

26. Probably still has a beer can in his fist...and the cop is trying to decide whether to write

him up for public lunacy.

[AsahinaKimi]

28. yeah, lol

Why does this shot remind me of.. "Here hold my beer can, watch this..."

[mindfulNJ]

30. Where do I go????

[AsahinaKimi]

32. If it wasn't for that pink nose

and dark eyes and muzzle, I would have to squint to see its a dog!! awww so cute!

[mindfulNJ]

45. Thanks:)

He was quite confused! He's only a year and half old so he's never seen this much snow before

[AsahinaKimi]

47. He is probably not alone!

I hope many animals are safe and warm there now!

[SemperEadem]

31. it gives me shudders--takes me back to the winter of 2010

when we had 2 massive storms roll through down here. My landlord and I dug out the back yard, where we park our cars. 2 1/2 feet of snow--it took us two days to dig out.

[AsahinaKimi]

36. omg..

And once you get inside the car... it takes a while for the heat to come on.. meanwhile you are sitting there shivering as the cold air blows out. I remember one year, my car had about 2 inches of ice on the wind shield.. I tried spraying it with that anti freeze stuff in a can, didn't work. I turned the heater on inside...eventually it was enough to loosen the ice.

Had one of these, like this guy has..


Mine disappeared after I moved back to California. I also dumped my Eastern windshield wipers.. they were too heavy for Southern California weather..(I moved to Santa Barbara for a while.)

[SemperEadem]

43. lucky you!! Santa Barbara is so beautiful

I wish I was back in LA...

[AsahinaKimi]

46. I adored Santa Barbara

Unfortunately its too expensive to live there, even more expensive than San Francisco. I was renting an apartment at the time, it was about 770 dollars per month. Within a three months, the land lord raised the rent to 1440 a month!!! I had no choice but to move out. I eventually gave up and came back to San Francisco. My current place is only 1050 a month, which is way cheaper that Santa Barbara.

[dixiegrrrrl]

60. Your rent is slightly less than my monthly income!

fortunately housing here is very cheap, over 50% less than West Coast.

[AsahinaKimi]

61. As they used to say in Santa Barbara

"The price for living in Paradise.." and, yes they said it with a straight face!

[Maine-ah]

35. my guess for snowfall at this point

is 24"-30". It's still going strong. I woke up yesterday morning at 6am and it was snowing - hasn't stopped yet.

[yardwork]

37. Wow! Reminds me of the Blizzard of 1978. I was in Ohio for that.

[AsahinaKimi]

39. Why its good to have a Yellow car..

[yardwork]

42. LOL! That would help me every day, actually. I am one of those who loses my car in parking lots.

[AsahinaKimi]

52. I bet its easy to find a Yellow Cab in a Snow Storm!!

TAXI!!!!!

[ellie]

50. Yes! So was I!

We lived in a Toledo suburb and I remember my dad's car getting stuck down the street and all of us kids went down to help him move it.

[AsahinaKimi]

53. KINDA like this..

[yardwork]

74. I didn't have to take midterm exams in high school. School was cancelled for weeks.

Loved it.

[ellie]

78. I was in grade school.

We, too, were out for what seemed forever. It was awesome.

[yardwork]

84. It really was! We were out of power for a while but we had a fireplace.

[FedUpWithIt All]

58. I was in Ohio for that too.

I was pretty young but remember that my mom had to go to the store around the corner and she used a sled to pull me, my brother and the groceries.

I also remember how tough it was to get out the door.

[yardwork]

73. Remember how cold it was? Unbelievably cold.

[Blue_In_AK]

80. The blizzard of 1950 was a good one, too.

http://www.appalachianhistory.net/2010/11/thanksgiving-1950-the-snowstorm-of-the-century.html

I was four and still remember getting stranded in that one on the way to my grandparents' house. Our car stalled out and my dad had to leave us while he went for help. The storm had come on so suddenly that we only had sweaters on. We nearly froze.

[yardwork]

83. That sounds scary. I'm glad that you were ok.

[Island Blue]

41. These photos pretty much demonstrate

why I'll remain a liberal Democrat, fighting the good fight, below the Mason-Dixon line. Hurricanes I can handle - snow that covers the roof of my car, not so much.

Sending warm wishes to everyone in Nemo's path!

[PasadenaTrudy]

56. This is why...

my parents left the Chicago area after dad got back from the war (WWII), and high tailed it to Los Angeles. All before I was born, luckily

[AsahinaKimi]

59. I just posted this on media ..

A friend of mine on Twitter posted the snow storm up in Maine.

And...
from a neighbor in California!

[Autumn Colors]

63. The view from our front door

Southern Litchfield County, Connecticut

[Laura PourMeADrink]

65. Bolton CT. My sister's Golden Retrievers next to a buried van

[Sadiedog]

70. oh, what beautiful puppies!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

76. thanks. think they were a bit freaked out. All in all, though it's probably pretty exciting

for dogs. Wonder if they are all thinking "WTF ?" haha

[Sadiedog]

79. Hope they were not too freaked out! They certainly are wonderful looking dogs of course

I love most dog breeds but I`ve never had a Golden retriever. I have heard they are a lovely dog to have around kids. I have a small dog now (Dachshund and Pomeranian mix) but have always thought if I get another dog a Golden would be first choice. Stay safe and warm!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

85. She's had 3 and each is has a different personality. Yes,

kind sweet dogs. But, all have been very energetic and hyper. You have to have lots of space for them to run around and not have any nice china and crystal in the house.

One of them was kept in the bathroom as a puppy when they went out. When they got back, the bathroom rug had completely disappeared. she ate every last thread of it.

[Wednesdays]

69. thanks for the pix

[Texasgal]

77. This is just amazing to me!

I really can not wrap my head around that much snow!

Do your cars survive that?

Stay warm DU'ers!
