AntiGravityAzn Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 3 Facts: 1. We had 12 inches of snow today. 2. I drive a 5 pound (give or take) 1995 Acura Integra Special Edition. The weight may or may not be an exaggeration. You decide. 3. The snow on the roads melted and then turned into black ice by the afternoon. That being said, I had to DIG my car out of the snow today in order to get it out of the driveway. When I finally got it on the road...well, you know that feeling you get when you go iceskating and you know you don't know how to iceskate? Driving my little Integra gave me that same feeling, except I was in a car. This is the price I pay for buying a sports car, lmao. Did anyone else get snow? If so, how much? You may put our 12 inches to shame, but go ahead ;) Quote
Batman Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Well Phoenix, Az didn't get anything. In fact we are actually warmer then normal for this time of year. Kind of depressing since I like the snow, not that it snows in phoenix anyways. Quote
jun Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Meh, not much, which sucks cause i had two snow days, and one of those days was a holiday at our school ANYWAYS! Quote
*SG* Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 8" of ice? does that count. I'm in NW Arkansas. Yay for chitty mountains. Quote
Macabre Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I feel your pain, SG. D= I used to live in AR and now I'm in MO. Loads of ice. We did actually get a good snow this week which hasn't happened for years. We have around a foot of a snow/ice mixture. Quote
ΩCCΩ Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I live in the middle east and there is NO snow, just none to be found. It does get cold though, 18 is like FREEZING for us. Quote
*Danielle* Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 We only had about 3 inches today but we' also had freezing rain. <_< I'd love to make snow angels in 12 feet of snow :woot: Last week we had a wind chill that made it below 0 two days in a row...needless to say i was in the house all day under my blankets lol Quote
Meeptroid Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Let's see... Yesterday was alright, receiving three or so inches of snow. Then there was a shower of freezing rain. Ice was inevitable, of course. Very nasty weather basically. Quote
AntiGravityAzn Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Ew, ice is no fun. Sounds like everyone is just getting crappy weather, lmao. Indiana got about a foot and the plows didn't start working until a couple hours after the storm, so I think that just seemed to magnify the problem (snow piles in the road, black ice, etc.). I absolutely love the snow, just not when I have to drive in it! lol Quote
Revenge Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Nothing but ice today. The ice was everywhere, though. I had trouble walking down the front steps, but I survived. Better than a heat wave in my opinion. Quote
Unstream Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 There was enough snow for a snow day yesterday, but then overnight it all turned to ice. It's cool to walk on it when it's on the lawn though. Quote
livvy Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 The most South Carolina has EVER gotten in all 16 years of my life was like 5 inches, and that was at least 4 years ago. We had about a centimeter the other day, which of course earned us a snow day from school. =P South Carolinians freak out about a flake of snow... Kinda funny. =] But we get plenty of ice. *shrug* ~ Livvy Quote
Unstream Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah if you're in an area that hardly gets any snow, just the tiniest bit will get you a snow day since they aren't as prepared. Like those Canadians up there, I bet they could get a foot of snow and still have a normal day. Okay, maybe not a foot... Quote
janalseiya Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Sorry I live in California.. and where I'm at you're lucky if you get rain, actually in fact people complain the few days we DO get rain haha Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Snow? In Malaysia? :P We don't get that here, just extensive flooding of most low-lying regions. Quote
̊ ˉˉ ̊ Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I got a lot of snow outside. It snows, the plows take care of it, It snows again. So, minus the patches of ice, the roads are fine but wherever the snowplows pushed the snow to, there's huge piles. And coming back from school, I don't walk around the snow, I walk right through (over) it. Now there's a path where I walk, all because of me ;b Quote
Stephé Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I feel like I still got to see the world here. XD I haven't seen snow.......ever. Quote

Mackenzie Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 We have had 2 snow days here and no we have to make up any more snow days we have. We had 3 days off when the electricity went out a while ago. And it is supposed to snow a lot on monday night. I don't wanna go to school on saturdays or in the summer!!!!!! Quote
Golden Eyes Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 We've had some heavy snow last week but it's all gone now..! I don't mind because snow isn't really my thing! I want to see more of the sun. We don't see much of it here in England. Quote
