Snow!

[CSpec]

Well, the official total here was 21 inches. They didn't cancel classes here, but they do a good job of clearing the paths and roads. How much did everyone else get?

[Northstar]

I haven't heard an official total, but probably 12-15 inches with huge drifts. We had two days off of school. The streets are ok and some of the sidewalks are covered snow, so I think lots of us (students) will be walking down roads tomorrow.

[Nick]

Wait...what?

[daves87rs]

4-6...I think.

Hard to tell when it's blowing everywhere...

[ocnblu]

Using my picnic table as official measuring device, I'd say about 6-7". Our development did not get plowed until last night. My neighbor with a Festiva could not get 500 feet, he called off work. We closed at noon.

[Croc]

Wait...what?

I know! Though apparently a couple back it snowed on Sunset one evening up in Palisades...so LA Metro isn't immune from it, but I don't miss it one bit here in West Adams. Y'all don't get it in the valley do you? Edited February 15, 2007 by Croc

UGH!

I'm so tired of plowing snow.

I was in the truck from tuesday morning until 11:30 last night.

I'm retiring from it next year, I've been doing it too long (every storm since 1985).

I've driven in every snowstorm since '79.

I want to sit by the fire and watch the snow fall or get a snowmobile and enjoy it!

We got less than an inch, but everything is covered in ice.

[Satty]

We got a light dusting, but thats ok since we got like 49 bazillion inches of ice last month.

[Paolino]

3" of ice on the ground. Buick started up nicely.

Fly, you should bring your Aurora up here... two of my friends with Toyotas have their wheels frozen in ice and can't get their cars moving. :AH-HA_wink:

[Sixty8panther]

7/8 inches.

[aaaantoine]

Local reports say around 85".

What? Why's everyone looking at me like that?

I'm just outside of the valley. Westlake Village/Thousand Oaks is the next town over north a bit from Agoura Hills/Malibu. It snowed a bit in Malibu on Kanan. It's right down the way so my friends and I actually went through the snow and even got out, made snowballs, and threw them at eachother...Crazy crazy weather we've been having lately.

I don't know the official total, but here at my house, there's 8-12 inches... Insane snow drifts from the wind. And I shoveled half of my driveway since the tractor wouldn't start. I'm sore.

[ocnblu]

Spring's coming. At least, it better be.

[capriceman]

some parts where chest high others didn't even have snow on th ground.

[ToniCipriani]

Accumulated I think about 20+ inches already. It's taller than my car's wheels so I think that would be right.

[Oracle of Delphi]

I sat on a runway for hours trying to take off for Germany yesterday to get to a meeting at GM Europe. Needless to say I'm still in Delaware, in beautiful Kappa Kountry!

almost time for no pants?

[Ravenfreak13]

about 3" of freezing rain...which turned into ice...now the saturn and breeze look like garbage..i hate when all that roadcrud from snow/ice accumulates on a car...luckily i had a cover over the electra

21 Inches and you still had class? What kind of bastard school do you go to? Around here we got 8-10 inches. It was enough to cancel class (w00t!).

I take that back... I'm not sore. I'm f@#king sore. Ugh... I need a massage.

Anyways, went to my grandparent's for something to do after I posted. Brought the camera along with me to get some pics. These aren't quite the worst areas around here, but I didn't feel like driving anymore than I had to. The first pic sucks, but on the left is a huge snow drift that's probably 6' deep. It's taller than me, I know that much. The rest just showcase what most areas look like.

[capriceman]

yeah i have some crazy drift on my hood but not too bad.

[ocnblu]

Yup Drew, almost that time. Checking the 10 day forecast on WeatherChannel dot com, says second half of next week is supposed to be in the mid-40's. Edited February 17, 2007 by ocnblu

Yea...hope it isn't a sign of "earthquake weather." LOL

[aaaantoine]

Just to give you guys an indication of what might even remotely resemble 85" of snow, here's some pics.

There's a porch buried under there somewhere.

The bottom portion of the swingset is about the same height as the middle portion.

If you squint really hard, you can possibly see a Chevy Venture in that mess. And no, it does NOT have a high-top roof.

I was tempted to let the beagle out without a leash, once I had dug out a place for her to go to the bathroom. It's not like she could go anywhere...

[trinacriabob]

the beagle

oh, yeah, what a cute pup!!!

That can't be "The Island" ? Whereabouts in the N.E. is that?

[aaaantoine]

I now visit the Island only about once a month. This is up by Lake Ontario. We recently had some intense Lake Effect Snow. It's now considered a disaster area.

I have a beagle too, she will be 3 years old in April.

[sciguy_0504]

We got a few inches, no more than 5, but the ice was the bigger problem. It snowed. Changed to freezing rain. Changed to snow. Snow melted. Snow froze. A terrible cycle. A few PA interstates have been shut down and the National Guard was rescuing people, giving them food while they waited for hours for traffic to move again. An emergency broadcast message was being repeated all day on the radio today telling people not to travel on I-XX.

I remember when my 11-year old beagle was that energetic (and thin)...

Anyways, we got ~3-3.5" of snow, plus a coating of ice that gave the snow the consistency of a rock. School let out 2 hours early on Tuesday, and it's been closed since then. Factoring in President's Day on Monday, I'll have had a 6.5 day weekend when school starts again on Tuesday.
