Our snowpacolypse brought a mere 12 inches. I agree-paltry compared to the 20" in Kenosha.

Still I worried about losing six in the drifts!

I didn't believe the weathermen who were calling for an inch of ice (fully expecting they would be wrong AGAIN and that it would just rain).

They were right. I had no internet for 24 hours. I almost didn't make it. Some of my friends lost power for three days, yet I can't feel sorry for them, because INTERNET!

Yall are going to hate me for saying this... but I sorta wish it snowed where I lived every once in a while. Snow in a non-threatening, I get the day off work to play sort of way.

Current conditions in San Diego: 61 degrees and sunny. And I won't even mention that my boss just complained it was too cold to surf this morning. :P

I have been lurking for a while. But I wanted to say how sorry I am for ya'll. I don't know how you deal with snow and the freezing cold and drama that goes along with it, but you are all much stronger than me. I wouldn't dare to defy snow in case I jinxed it and it actually snowed here in Vegas and stuck for more than an hour. I just couldn't handle it. I hope you all stay warm and safe.

@Becky, I do have real sympathy for people in serious blizzard conditions. And I hope you--and your car--and everyone you love are fine. Same for you, Lorna.

I just feel like slowpanic does: if you're going to CALL it a snowpocalypse, it ought to LOOK like a blizzard. :)

We got a bit more over here in West Michigan. It's my first Michigan winter so I was all kinds of excited about Snowpocalypse 2011. The snow we got here made it very difficult to walk our little doggies this morning, and it took quite a bit longer than usual to shovel the driveway. We quit before finishing our sidewalks, we live on a corner, so we have a lot of sidewalk. There's pics on my blog if you want to see.

I know this is just me being cranky because I got stranded 20 miles from my home and my kids because of the snow. A semitruck decided he did own the road and I wasn't prepared to argue the fact and ended up in a ditch. I hitched a ride 15 miles back from where I came, to get the last available hotel room to wait out the storm.
20+ inches of snow and ice later, it will be 6:30 tonight before anyone can get here to pick me up and take me home. Then there is the issue of getting my car out of the ditch.
Yesterday the Highway Patrol/Department of Transportaion closed Interstate 70 across 2/3 of the state of Missouri due to snow and ice.
I wish our Snowmageddon was no big deal, really. You're not missing out on much. :)
