A lot of people here are still without power, they have warming facilities set up and over night they were there for people to stay. They tried to get some of the homeless off the streets last night but quite a few of them opted out of the shelters.

That's a shame.

I really need to wash clothes tonight

Good morning Beryl! Is it snowing there?

Yes it is and there are over 500 schools down also. We have had at least 3 inches and more coming later supposed to turn to freezing rain

The snow just turned back on. It stopped for about 10 minutes, now it's coming down good again. It's around 24 degrees.

We are about 16 degrees and still snowing here

I want snow!!

We haven't gotten much snow this winter either. Lots of rain.

We really have not got much snow either I normal snow amount is way down

We got like 6in so far this winter. We usually get at least in the 10-14in range. We have gotten about 4in of rain.

Just remember there is still time for snow. I rember when I had Patti my youngest on 3/23/68 it snowed so bad I refused to go to the hospital either by car or Police who had chains on. On the 24 it started to melt and by 10 pm all the snow was gone that when I went into the hospital and Patti was born at 12:04 am. Shortest time I had in the hospital before delivery. I remember one Easter went into church and when we came out had quite a snow fall.

Beryl Love the story !

Liz walked to the DR and it was hysterical when my doc saw me he asked me what are you doing here. Told him I was in labor (this was my #6) he said no way I just saw you. He examined me and started screaming get her to the DR. Nurse asked if I wanted to walk what the heck it was faster than getting on a stretcher.

WOW!!!!!

woww

Goodness gracious!! wow!!!

very pretty !

pretty

Bought that for Softee in Jax in a warehouse type department store fantastic price too

I love that blankie!

We are going to make her another coat to wear at the vets when she gets her sutures out. It is blue with doggies on it. Might have enough to make two, if so I will put one up for auction

That is really nice Beryl!

Just found out because of icy road conditions, there was an accident involving a tractor trailer and a van with 4 construction workers on their way to work.(I live on a hill overlooking the bridge that crosses the Shenandoah river). The van slid into the path of the tractor trailer killing all 4 workers. 1 still hasn't been identified.

My hound hauler is staying parked in the driveway till it all melts.

I hope everyone one is ok today. Please be careful!

oh that's horrible.. to the families

That's horrible.

OMG

I 80 is shut down due to a fatal until 2 pm not near me tho. bunch of BS here with schools busses getting stuck on hills with kids on not just Pittsburgh but other areas. Another reason why I do not believe in bussing

There was a major wreck last night in the mixing bowl on I-395. That must have been a mess.

What a mess the traffic has been today with this weather! Terrible.

Same here Jimmy lots of fender benders but so far here in the city no major injuries but some on the outskirts.

Our county has again 2000 people without power. Most won't get it back until sometime tomorrow. We've had a bunch of tree branches come down with the weight of the ice.

Have not heard of any new power outages here except for the area where a coal truck hit a house and brought down power lines. Will have to check the news at 5 pm and see what is happening

When i was growing up and we lost power it was exciting! We'd get flashlights, candles, we had a wood burning stove to heat the house (old fashion and poor!), we'd play cards, and games... it was fun!

When I was younger in South Wales we did not have central heat but kept warm with fire places only had electricity in two rooms, no refrigerator, no gas stove we cooked in and over the fireplace. If you wanted to bake you had to light a fire in the dining room. If you wanted toast you had a long handled fork that you stuck the bread on and held it to the fire...

Beryl I love your stories.

Wow Beryl, that almost sounds like camping.

That sounds like my childhood vacations..

we would rent a cabin in kabrabo (sp?) WV with no water, no electricity.. and just hike all week...

We had running water but not in the kitchen, it was in the pantry in the front next to the dining room, the loo you have to go out the kitchen door outside and it had running water. The farmer delivered milk from those large milk cans and it was not pausterized and sometimes it was still warm. The cream used to rise to the top and I would sneak into the pantry and run my finger across to get some cream.

Thanks Liz have quite a few stories to tell one thing to remember I was born in England and came here at the age of 10 ooops another thing to remember I am 70 so there is a lot of storied in my fried brain still yet

Beryl My Mum is from Scotland, So your stories remind me of hers.

I did go on holiday to Scotland and if she was over there when I was or even during the war she has a lot to tell you. The people of the UK went through hell and rationing was unbelievable to yanks. when I first came over here and walked into a small super market my chin dropped to my knees seeing all the food especially meat, eggs, etc as they were still rationed over there when I came here in 1948

You asked for pics these were taken about 2:20 pm - as you can see we still were not plowed Look behind the van Nanny Goat Hill












Look down the street the street that innersects here is also a hill but not as bad
I think we were plowed by they never do a good job will take pics in the am

You got more snow then us. Our's is gone.

about 7 inches

I got up at 6am and feed and took the dogs out. Then as rountine, Bear and Lincoln and our cats Blaze, Sierra get on the bed with me and we snooze..

We all cuddle up and sleep. It's great having pets.

I don't wanna get up, cause it's so cozy. Why do I have to get up, why.
