Snow Problems

I read that this winter storm affected 1/3 of the United States!!!  Just wondering if anyone had Death Storm or Snowpocalypse -as they called it here- stories to share?  Photos?

Re: Snow Problems

  • We in Central PA got off easy.  I think we had about .3" of ice and that was it.  I hate ice and would take snow over it any day but it sure made it look pretty outside.

  • Oh yea, ice is never good, though.  Even if it does look really pretty.

    I've had to un-bury my car twice.  Wednesday and this morning, too. Luckily, a random guy taking his trash out pushed me out this morning so I could head to work.  It was very nice of him. The roads were bad, not impossible, so I thought I would be okay. Wrong! I cross the I74 bridge between IL and IA everyday for work, with half the state doing the same thing.  Without any warning, I came up on a huge line of traffic. Just sitting there. Ugh. There isn't another way for me to cross the Mississippi, so just had to sit with everyone else. I think it's because the bridge is narrow and gets icy/windy.  Sighhhh  One hour and 7 minutes later, I finally made it to the office.  My drive is all of 5.7 miles.

  • In St. Louis, we got ice and sleet and then some snow on top of that.  Many cities north and west of us got it worse. Western MO got ice and sleet and then lots of snow on top of that.  Highway 70 was closed for a while in central MO.
  • The first day, we had about a half inch of ice. Then, we only got about 4 inches of snow, but it was blowing like crazy and we already had a lot on the ground. It made for some bad drifting and two snow days :) I will always take snow days!
  • Hmm, I tried replying to your post last night, but it didn't show up :( 

    It seems like the blowing and drifting must have hit everyone pretty bad.  I think it was the worst, most dangerous part of the storm.  I have never seen it like that in town before, I don't even want to know how bad all the county roads were.  I think visibility was around 2 tenths of a mile when I drove home from work - and that was around 3:00!   I am really glad all you girls stayed safe and sound!
