How many are snowed in?

Last night at 6pm, my college, UAlbany, cancelled wednesday's classes before they even saw one drop of snow. Later I heard it's supposed to snow, on and off into Friday. This was unbelievably incredible since I still had not seen a flake till about ...10pm, that's when the shit hit the fan. I've got no idea how many inches we have in Albany NY currently but it's been snowing nonstop and we're all snowed in!!!

Only a few brave souls remain on the snow packed streets, who knows what for.

I wish I was in NY.

Here in central VA, all we got was rain and a little ice on the windshield this morning.

"Not I", said the Fly.

I spent the day driving around trying to get stuck. I'm sure most were frustrated, but I had fun thrashing though snow piles and trudging down unplowed streets. I even helped a few people who were blocking some of the major roads.

4x4 kicks so much ass. Unfortunately, I did get stuck after about 4hrs of aimless driving. It wasn't a big deal, it simply took some rocking to get free.
After that, I was getting pretty hungry. So I went to Quiznos, then drove home. My only real complaint was the windshield wipers, I had to periodically stop because they kept icing up (suggestions?).

In the end, I drove away with a better understanding of the full capabilities of my vehicle.

It was a pretty interesting day. I hope this snow continues, considering I have exams tomorrow.

I'm more iced in. Only about 5 inches of snow but theres a nice 1/2 layer of ice all over everything. The roads are crappy, accidents everywhere.

i was actually quite surprised last night when it started snowing here in New Mexico. We don't usually get a lot of snow, but this year we have gotten more than we have in the past 10 years. Two days ago i was walking around in shots and a t-shirt. this morning i wake up and classes were canceled. we only got maybe four inches. but when it never snows people freak out if there is anything wet on the ground.

ALBANY!!

I graduated there in 20003, 5 quad alumni, lived on Empire. The worst snow of my life was when I lived there, but classes were always canceled.

We got ice storms down here on LI took an hour to get my two cars out.

no you do not. If a little rain and ice on the windshield was all i had, i wouldn't be spending Valentine's day in my room listening to music and cleaning up, i'd be much, much more entertained.

My parents live about 2 hours west of Albany, they said as of an hour ago they had 3 feet.

I however live in northern VA. We had about 2 inches of ice this morning and everything was shutdown (including my job). So I slept in then went out driving and having fun. I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of my new Blazer in the icy mix. I just wish it was as fun to drive it in nice weather

So when are the scientists gonna start predicting global chilling?

I definitely wouldn't mind some snow in Dallas. I just gotta find some hot chicks to wrestle with in the snow.

Have about 2 1/2feet in my backyard,(Syracuse). The Weather Channel was in the city all day with live updates. Just waiting for the other "shoe" to drop in the next couple of days as lake effect snow takes over to add to the total, as this storm goes into Canada and sends arctic air across Lake Ontario in it's wake.

Crypes, we've only had a few inches, all plowed up and stuff, SD hasn't been hit hard, kinda nice.

Andydg · #14 02-14-2007, 11:07 PM

We got a few inches but some really good drifts to send people into the ditches so my friend and I can make some quick money.

About max 8 inches in some areas up here in Northwest NJ, Hope/Blairstown, where my school is.

Here's some pics I took earlier today after the storm. Finally get some credible snow fall...it's about time. But for most of the storm, it was sleet and most of the accumulation was sleet.

And here at Blair, we don't have bloody snow days since majority of the faculty live on campus. So basically it's tough luck for the kids who are day students. Good thing though was that my first block class was cancelled because my teacher is one of few who don't live on campus, and couldn't make it. So needless to say, I had a nice sleep-in.
