We have 7" here now & still snowing heavily---19 deg---EEEEEKK--that's me shrieking! If you want global warming, check out my 2 favs this winter---my nephew was supposed to fly to Billings today, where it's 56 deg, & Denver is reaching 71 deg today---they have had NO winter!
Today's Weather in Your Garden - 40
All the pretty snow pictures! We got NONE!
NOW, who wants to live in BUFFALO??!!??
^_^
DH thinks we got about 7"
we got another 2 inches since this morning... and boy the wind is pretty strong
We have 8" and not done yet.
I am just hoping that everyone comes through this safely!
I know a lot of areas, esp. those in the south, are ill equipped to handle snow.
We're lucky .... we have had practice handling it, how ever deep.
Our snow has stopped, so coming your way pixie. Just relax & pay no attention to it--get well.
Snowing pretty hard again here. Still under 6 inches. Hard to believe the NYC public schools closed.
snow had stopped and now starting again - i guess i'll be out there one more time to snow blow before tonight
looks more like the great ice age to me
those liars no global warming my way
if they are right lol make it soon before
I go broke paying to heat my house
I have been paying about 650 every three weeks since the end of october for oil for the house and we burn wood during the day thank good with 2.5 acres we collect the wood and pay nothing for it
but I heard that the city is now going to stick there nose into things and we will not be able cut wood on our own property without paying for a permit lol
so I told DH that before the law goes into affect july 1st we are going to go around and see what we want down and cut everything we want so we will have wood for the next 10 years or so most of the property is trees and some are dead and some are in bad shape so we going to thin them out so the rest will be health and not dangerous to fall on the house or something
I know the feeling with the arms lol we do it to and I am there day after day lol

because we are within the city limits they want us to pay but everyone does it but July they will efforce it and there is always a snitch so this spring we going to do what we need to and then aw well to bad right
Rosa Parks broke the law .... and look at how far we've come. Granted, it took forever!
Sometimes the law just isn't right.
(I know ..... gasp!)
they put in the law on cutting trees in the city because the city planted them and people would just cut them down for no reason, I would never clear cut my property that is so bad for the environment but when trees are dying because of lack of water because it is just to many trees well we are going to fix that by select thinning and then hopefully it will keep them healthy
Now, THAT I can understand and appreciate. We have rules about de-foresting even here, in Buffalo.
the woods are so thick that we have trouble walking into them and I noticed that many loose there leaves midway in the summer from stress of no water
its funny about the city butting into my business but 6 miles away they cleared everything for one mile long and 5 miles wide to build houses and put in a home depot and a supermarket it looks awfull and the little animals are running in the road since now they have no homes lol that was about 20 thousand trees lol they should be ashamed of themselves for doing that they could have fixed it but more cost of leave as many trees as posible but no
Ever since businesses can now claim eminent domain, we're all doomed.
I better stop before I get myself into trouble!
Hehehehehe
well hydro took an 28 foot easement all along my property without us even being told about it and they didnt pay for it I went to the city and put is a claim dispute if they want the darn land they had better pay for it now they have dumped old hydro poles all the the edge of my property without asking or informing us my husband is livid and he say they do not have the right without paying and informing us and since he is a civil engineer he says he knows the law about these things and he wants them to clean it up or he will sue them and he sent them a letter stating they have till april 1st to do it and he sent it in october and they have not even replied
so that is 28 feet wide by 420 long that is the size of 4 city lots for god sake
outrageous! They rely on folks being stupid ..... even more of an insult!
About 8-9 inches here.
There's a 2 foot drift in my yard.
I'm glad the wind was coming from the south & not the other way.
If it had, I wouldn't have been able to open my back door.
Victor- I know hat you mean about the NYC public schools.
They NEVER close for snow. This is the 1st time since 2004.
From kindergarten-12 grade, I had maybe, 3 or 4 snow days.
I remember listening to the radio for those magic words, "The NYC Public Schools are CLOSED!" only to be disappointed.
Did someone mention SPRING?
Nancy
well DH maybe many things hahahahah but stupid is not one of them I trained him well hahahhaha
they will have to clean it and move on or buy the property from us which is ok but I will insist on a 6 foot fence the lenght of the property if they do buy it so I dont have to look at their mess
Yes, Nancy, I can only remember a few days myself. I think the blizzard of '77 was one.
victor I am curious how old are you dear?????
104.
blizzard of 78 guys
victor - moma meant how old are your pet deer?
ok that is interesting and amazing that you can type lol hahahhaha
I use my cane.
what I meant was what is the year of your birth
hahahahha ok smart butt hahahah I know I stuck my foot right into that one
1963. I am 46. New Years baby.
ok well now that is better you are two years older than me
the reason was that you are have so much knowledge I thought that you maybe were older but when you said wife and kids well kinds made me wonder about what I had thought
