Not much snow here but tons of snow days and delays. Great for the kids – havoc for working parents. No one comes out anymore even if a rumor of snow starts to circulate.

I, for one, am so glad to see the back of February!

We seem to get the same storm systems. My boss told me on Friday this is the first time we've worked a 5-day week in ages. No wonder we were wiped out! Ely, we’re due for more snow showers this week.

Great that you're working on the third, and smart too. Trilogies are "in." 70 degrees, huh. I think I hate you. And Keira, too, for good weather. JK. You guys obviously know where to live!<br/><br/>Marnee, my husband's the grouchy one. He had to sweep off the cars this morning and shovel out a path...he's getting mighty sick of that. Hi, Beverley!

Perhaps that has to do with the fact that my son is coming home now at 2:30 instead of 5:30. I've started the last book of my 3 book series and am still revising the 2nd. I'm hoping to have the 2nd completely polished by the end of March (or sooner). <br/>I must say the weather down here is good. Today it was 70. I'm saying hello to spring, and I'm ready for it.

Grrr. Hate it, especially when it comes on a weekend. I so would have had a snow day today. But I get paid for them, so it makes them that much nicer. LOL<br/><br/>I'm becoming a hermit, too... it's a good thing I work or I'd become like J.D. Salinger or something. We got loaded with snow, too. Grrr. Hate it, especially when it comes on a weekend.

I'm lucky I can send my husband out for provisions while I stay in my jammies writing. We save $ that way too. I am known to go to the store for one thing and come back with 20.<br/><br/>Gillian, I think we've had 22 snowstorms this year so far, 6 snow days and I can't remember how many delayed openings to school. Vermont is probably even worse. It was so icy on my driveway a month or so ago I actually couldn't get out---I slid backwards and expected to wind up in the woods! And we had a major ice storm some years back---power was out for weeks in some places. Please, not again.<br/><br/>Terri, most towns here have public sand/salt piles, but they're barring the public now because there's such a shortage. Isn't it fun to bitch about the weather? Maybe those English people were on to something. Tiff, I’m becoming a bit of a hermit, too. I’m lucky I can send my husband out for provisions while I stay in my jammies writing.

No snow, but four major ice storms. The clean up from the fallen trees and limbs will take until this summer. Our towns looked like a war zone for over a month.<br/><br/>And the one week it got warm--two stinkin' tornadoes blew through.

They had to *borrow* some from the next town over. LOL! I'd sure hate to see what it looked like when they gave it back.<br/><br/>I don't miss snow AT ALL.
