Mel Posted February 5, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2010 Well, it finally got started and their forecasts are coming to fruition. Lots of heavy, wet snow and really bad conditions. Makes me thankful to be retired and able to choose to not go out. Central Indiana is getting it's share of weather out of this huge system. I can hear sirens right now here in the Castleton area of northeast Indy. Looks like we have 3 to 4 inches, strong easterly wind, and a lot more snow to come. It's just plain nasty. Now all you southerners can take your best shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 5, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2010 The good news here is that most of the snow had finally just about melted away yesterday. The bad news is that it is snowing like crazy now...probably about an inch already and they are saying up to 6 inches tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted February 5, 2010 Share #3 Posted February 5, 2010 Well down south it's mostly rain. Of course our weather folks are telling us that we may end up with more snow here too. My yard is so soggy it isn't even funny. All the snow from last weekend melted and the yard defrosted, now more rain. I may need a boat before next month if this stuff doesn't stop. Maybe one that had ski's on it for when we freeze over. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer Posted February 5, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 5, 2010 Finally, some normal winter. Looks like I'll be getting up early to take Irene to work. She has a pickup and doesn't like to drive in the slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer Posted February 5, 2010 Share #9 Posted February 5, 2010 Sunny and 55 here Ow ow ow. Easy with that stick. At least I got a 50 mile ride in yesterday. It was a balmy 42. Over the road surface. 38 standing air temp. Not too bad for Indiana this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakers Posted February 5, 2010 Share #10 Posted February 5, 2010 I am a Marylander and live in the western part of the state where we are suppose to get 30-36 inches of snow. What's worse. I had to start my RSTD up and scoot it up in the garage to make room for the snow blower from the shed. Starting it up made me long for a nice spring day.

Carbon_One Posted February 6, 2010 Share #17 Posted February 6, 2010 Only traces of snow on the ground here. Only flurries at the momnet & 30* , But we're excepted to get 1-3 inches by tomorrow. All the heavy stuff is hitting about 40 miles south of me around Toledo, Ohio and south of that. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano Posted February 6, 2010 Share #18 Posted February 6, 2010 Shoveled 4" off the deck when I got home at 6, ate dinner messed around, an hour later scooped another 1-1/2" off when I went back out. Glad I took the bike out the other nite for a quick 1/2 hr spin! Guess the boy will make some $$ tomorrow with the quad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamecock Posted February 6, 2010 Share #23 Posted February 6, 2010 I'm at work in Arlington, VA right now and it ain't pretty outside. This is miserable. I'll probably have 12-15 inches of snow built up at the house before I get home tomorrow around noon. I normally work 8 hours, but they have bumped us to 12 and possibly 16 if people can't get in.

Sleeperhawk Posted February 6, 2010 Share #24 Posted February 6, 2010 Well at least you can still see the road, remember the last major snow storm I was in, a group of us had flash lights out the side windows to tell the driver he was still on the road and not the bar ditches. When it starts looking like this outside let me know! Then I'll feel your pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfrebird4 Posted February 6, 2010 Share #25 Posted February 6, 2010 Sun in and out today in Ft Collins. Light clouds mid to low 40's; has to be mid to uppermost 40's, and preferrably in the low 50's for this 'more mature' rider. No snow down tough on the roads. Ahhhh, the best of CO is just starting up for another year! Hang in there those of you building snow forts. It'll pass. JackZ Waiting for all of you when you drop by.
