[Black Hole]

They're saying a total of 11-15 inches!!!!!!

We only had about 4 inches when it calmed down earlier this evening, but the second wave is the big-hitter.

And then there's another front that may develop on Sunday....

[Carl]

Wilmington ALWAYS gets the crappiest part of the storms. In 05 when I drove home with a friend of mine...he lived in Wlimington, there were trees downed everywhere...ice covered EVERYTHING, came down through Cincy..and it was nothing...most of the snow that came through had already melted a bit. I was amazed.

[dedpedal]

Whoo hoo! I get to play in the snow and carry 100 pound ladders across icey sidewalks.

[plattner01]

wow thats alot of snow thank god i'm in fla right now, but would like to drive in that for fun tho. i guess i'll have to settle with severe wind oh well

[mustang8998]

15"s of global warming.............

That was a warning for clermont county not Wilmington. I typed in my area code and that's what popped up under warnings!

[cobrajoe]

15"s of global warming.............

Yeah that's what I was thinking!

[Katmandu]

Someone need to tell the Weather Service to stop YELLING by typing in ALL CAPS !! :HYF: :lol: :lol:

[Mista Bone]

3:30 report.........

still snowing!

[Katmandu]

3:30 report.........

still snowing!I got (4) more hours here at work before I get to HAVE FUN and drive home! :bigthumb

[Metcalf Racing]

Well it's 5.30 here still snowing and I'm stuck in my driveway

[Mista Bone]

snow drift is up to the top of the tires on the Civic, it was parked in a clear spot after the first wave.

24" snow drift.

Last nights route, 6-9 PM was called off at 1:30 PM, I'm not even gonna try for todays 1-3 PM route. IF I have t run it I'll take my slow ass time digging out, I won;t get done till 11 PM, fug them!

[Mista Bone]

snow plow just went by, the driveways are blocked now, snow is as high as the fire hydrants :)

It was fun 30 years ago when I was 12, not when I'm 42!

[Sharad]

Yeah that's what I was thinking!
http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/snowing.gif (http://www.millan.net)


LOL X 1000!!!

[Mista Bone]

At 6 AM Hamilton County went under level 3, not allowed on the roads, SWEET!

[Sharad]

okay, now that's taking it too far! I'm in Dayton and I HAVE to get back to Kentucky Sunday night. I cannot be stuck here in blizzard land! My dad said I could take his FX4 if I have to!

[Mista Bone]

From TV cam, the interstates are moving at 30 mph, 1.5 lanes open in most parts, but that was with no traffic. The on/off ramps have barely been touched.

[MrsAPE]

and its still falling from the sky!

[cstreu1026]

I am wanting to go skiing but the thought of a 2 hour or more drive just to go to perfect north is a bit of a turn off. They are reporting 10 inches on the ground in Xenia with another 2-4" possible.

[Johnson1134]

i am officially BURNED out on snow for this year!

[ponymom05]

Nothing happening in southern Campbell County right now. Guess it's coming later this morning. Haven't seen the "blizzard" conditions!

Hamilton County has issued a LEVEL 3 Snow Emergency. Only emergency personnel are permittted on the roadways. Hope they don't do that here.

[Mista Bone]

i am officially BURNED out on snow for this year!

I'm loving, until I have to start shoveling it later!

Neighbor has a snow blower, THANKFULLY :)

[Mr.Moontang]

Damn belt is slipping on the snow blower!!!

[Ryan218]

we have got 9.5" so far...fock winter.

[dedpedal]

I just finnished shoveling the sidewalk. No big deal, it felt good to get my heartrate up.

[R825OH]

Yeah Mr. Plow came thru and blocked me in the driveway. Guess I'll shovel my way out eventually. 2-4 more for this afternoon!!

[bobtsgt]

I'll be going out after breakfast and start the shoveling. Or I can just put it into 4X4 mode and drive over it.

[PaulFiveOh]

We have 15" here in Milford at 9:30am

[BigBadStang]

11" in Fairfield Township (my hood anyway)...another 2-4" by nightfall they are saying.

[Mista Bone]

oh no, beer is running low!

Haven't been to sleep yet either.

[Byrd Man]

i am officially BURNED out on snow for this year!

Especially after the beautiful day we had this past Monday. Now we are breaking records with snow fall. :mad:

[DeckerEnt]

We have at least 10-12 inches here in Northern Ky. Shoveling is gonna suck. I may just say fug it and build snowmen all day.

[Ryan218]

aint ohio great?




:mad:

[cstreu1026]

I am not going to shovel a damn thing until the wind and snow stop.

[Paul408Notch]

This is awesome. I love the snow. I may even venture out and see if anything's open for lunch. :D

[dedpedal]

Amys store is closed for the day. Guess they dont want to be responsible if someone wrecks on their way there.

[R825OH]

I'm waiting for my Girl Scout cookies. I wonder if she will deliver them today:lol::lol:

[Sharad]

McDonald's is open here in Dayton...

['92Stang]

Gonna use the bobcat to clean mine, and my neighbors driveway. Just trying to figure out what type of snow sculpture to make out of the big azz pile of snow I'll have????:D

[IWRBB]

It's pretty crazy looking out there now. I love it. I have a huge snowblower and 4WD, let it fly.

[cobrajoe]

At 6 AM Hamilton County went under level 3, not allowed on the roads, SWEET!
Ha Ha F Hamilton county, I work for the Enquirer I'm allowed on the road, considered essential personnel. HA!

I'm going up tom. probably for a while. I have not been in two years so I gotta go. Can't beleive they are on "bonus" days when they have 100% of the area open!!!!:rolleyes:


We have at least 10-12 inches here in Northern Ky. Shoveling is gonna suck. I may just say fug it and build snowmen all day.

Build snowmen like in the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons:

You get the general idea!

[92StangMan]

This is awesome. I love the snow. I may even venture out and see if anything's open for lunch. :D

Me too! Even though the weather isn't the greatest, I cannot help but want to go out and drive in it. Hopefully I do not make a post later on this evening after walking home while my car is stuck somewhere.

[cstreu1026]

The mailman is stuck out in front of my house right now. I think he should have stayed in bed this morning.

[Timido]

I plowed My drive about 9am I had over a foot with the drifts. Poor little lawn tractor did pretty good. I had to shovel in the grass so the dogs can do their buisness.

[mustang8998]

I wish you would ride that thing over here and plow my driveway! :D

[Timido]

At least the sExcursion is a 4x4 and has killer tires on it. I got snowed in 2 years ago for about 4 days and it almost drove me crazy

[dedpedal]

Thats funny right there. I can see them freezing their utensles off trying to go in this much snow.

[PonymanfiveO]

the snow is almost up to my keyboard...I can barley type anymore...and its still falling!!!

[Timido]

Damn snow is coming down sideways NOW>

[dedpedal]

LOL, I shoveled the walk out to the car to clean it off so I could take Amy to her store to do payroll and the sidewalk was covered again before I got back.

[R825OH]

Big flakes blowin' sideways here too...

[Timido]

Snow stopped on the Way West Side. It is still blowing around with the wind.

[PKFIRE]

This stuff sux, I spent the morning shoveling to get my car out of the street but that's not a big deal. My mom and sis getting stuck at the dialysis center is...

[Paul408Notch]

So on my 4-5 mile round trip, the only places I saw open were Blockbuster, Kroger, White Castle, the evil empire, Wendy's, and Dick's sports. It was pretty odd seeing a lot of the places closed. Like driving around on Christmas night or something.

If you have a vehicle that can get around ok, it's REALLY fun out there. I haven't driven in snow like this since last year in Santa Fe, NM, and even that wasn't this awesome.

[Sharad]

Okay, that's it. I've had enough. I've already got cabin fever! Need to decide if I'm taking out my wife's Oddysey or my dad's FX4.

[MsBlkramair]

Thats funny right there. I can see them freezing their utensles off trying to go in this much snow.

Yeah, my big baby boxer won't even go out to where the grass is supposed to be..........he pees on the sidewalk as soon as the door opens so he doesn't have to step too deep in the snow. I am sure the neighbors (in my building) love to see yellow snoe when they leave. haha fug 'em.....we don't like them anyway.



I opened the door to the deck (there is NO yellow snow out there!) and packed some tall plastic cups with snow and poured pepsi on it to make "frozen cokes" for the kids. They loved it. Gonna venture out tomorrow with the sleds and snowsuits.

[Mista Bone]

Mom made snow ice cream, quite good right now :)

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I looked on the Weather Channel site earlier today and for Georgetown KY (gf has family there) it said BLIZZARD where it typically says snow flurries or cloudy or whatever.

[glassman]

Anderson plow driver said we may get 4" more tonight and that they were about out of salt.

[mach_u]

Am I the only one that thinks Clermont County/Union Township simply can keep up with their plowing? Last night the wife and I decided to head up to O'Charleys in Eastgate for dinner. We're cruising down Beechmont towards Clough and the moment we get to Cherry Grove and all the way into Eastgate, it looked like a snow plow hadn't been through in 10 hours. It was horrible! It seems its been that way as long as I can remember though. :HYF:

[glassman]

It was like that on 275??? why? I thought ODOT took care of all of the hwy. But when you went down 275 from 5 mile to the clermont county line it was clear and mostly dry. From about beechmont to milford it was shitty.On the way back from milford it was the same way shitty then when you got close to the Hamilton county line it was clear.

[Katmandu]

it looked like a snow plow hadn't been through in 10 hours. It was horrible! I tell ya what is horrible and disgusting!!

I have yet to see a teen-aged human snow plow outside trying to earn a buck!! :eek: Buncha lazy mo-fos these days! :rolleyes:

[PaulFiveOh]

Yea 275 was a joke even at about 5pm last night.

It was nothing but a flush line of packed snow. Oh-28 was in the same condition until about 6am this morning.

[PaulFiveOh]

I have yet to see a teen-aged human snow plow outside trying to earn a buck!! :eek: Buncha lazy mo-fos these days! :rolleyes:

Does it count that I borrowed my buddies bob cat and plowed my folks driveway?

[cobrajoe]

I tell ya what is horrible and disgusting!!

I have yet to see a teen-aged human snow plow outside trying to earn a buck!! :eek: Buncha lazy mo-fos these days! :rolleyes:

yeah I know what you mean, but with today's sue happy atmosphere they would probably try and sue you for the cold they'll catch!:lol:

[IWRBB]

I wouldn't clear a drive for people I don't know. The lawsuit thing is precisely why.

I ran the snow blower on my driveway, my parents drive, their neighbor and my neighbor. I know for a fact those people won't sue me. Anyone else, no way in hell.

Fun fact, I estimate the snowblower moved almost a quarter million pounds of snow yesterday! (over 10,000 sf cleared at about a foot deep average)

[Stang 38L]

Jill and I drove to WV Saturday in all the snow. Columbus highways were horrible. Couldnt even see the highway in some spots and visibility was about 30 feet from all the blowing snow.

All this for some new rims for the stang :)

[Katmandu]

Does it count that I borrowed my buddies bob cat and plowed my folks driveway?Are you a teenager ? :confused:

If so, AT LEAST your TRYING !! :bigthumb
