Winter storm warning!

Okay, so I was wrong about Mr OL shoveling 6 inches...it was actually 12. We've had record snowfall in the past 24 hours...16 inches and it's still snowing. Some churches have cancelled their services already. I'm sure plowing parking lots is a big issue. The following pics were take a while ago and like I said it's still snowing. Dylan went out to play and I lost him.LOL The kids don't remember the snow ever being so deep.

OL, all I can say is yikes!

Jdarg, when we heard about the snow in Kentucky, we wondered if your Mom had gone back. Tell her from us!

OL, I was thinking of you--NPR had a news feature from Columbus, Ohio, about all the snow that is piling up. I have to say that I was so grateful that you were getting it, not us (I know, my bad ). We were on our way to the airport while listening to the radio. Philippa's going to England tonight and she's been looking forward to it so much! I'd have hated it if she were stuck on a runway for hours waiting for a plane to get de-iced. OR worse yet (as we heard on NPR) cancelled!! So thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking all our snow for us.

No problem.;-) I feel bad for everyone stuck at the airport. A Continental flight slid off the runway last night.

I hope Fyl has a wonderful time in merry old England!!

Great pics MKH. I got out around 8:30 and walked down our street to the next street and got some more pictures. Will have to post them later if I can get on here and do so. Hubby has been on the computer a lot. A lot of ours has melted. How about yours? We ended up with 7 inches of snow. It sure was pretty.

You got 7 inches and it's almost melted? Wow. It's supposed to be 9 degrees tonight so not chance of that for a while here.

Most churches have already cancelled morning services...not ours...we have a big event planned and I'm sure they're waiting til the last minute. Mr OL just called from the outerbelt..he said he was going about 30 mph and you couldn't even exit a normally very busy ramp...it was covered in several feet of snow with a car in the middle of it. It's a level 2 snow emergency but even if it was a level 3 he will still have to go to work...USPS essential personnel. Ya know the old saying..rain, sleet or snow...the mail never sleeps..or something like that. Even tho we didn't get our mail today.

OL, it is 36 here now. They were showing mid 30's for a high today. And the sun has been out since early this morning. Some areas that have a good deal of shade still have a good deal of snow around. The roads are clear here and on many yards half of the snow is gone. It is going to be around 52 tomorrow so the rest will be gone tomorrow. I am going to try to put some more pictures right now.

Thanks LadyD, great photos. For as quickly as it came, it left.

Thanks Minnie. Yep, our yard is more than half clear. More in the back of course. But the yard next door still has most of its snow in the front but the yard of the house on the other side of that one is clear. When you click on these pictures, does the background ones appear dark to you? I was able to click on each one last night and it not do that. Maybe it is something in the upgrade Kurt did obviously.
