Boy did it snow!
Well here in Iowa we have been in a blizzard warning since yesterday afternoon till 6pm tonight. There is no such thing as travel, they were pulling snowplows off the interstate it wass so bad. All classes were cancelled here at college today so here i am in my apartment doing nothing. I will try to get some pics here a litle later of what it lokks like outside.

Re: Boy did it snow!
Got a lot of snow here in the Omaha, NE area yesterday. Funniest thing is that my daily driver is a Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner (Looks and sits just like a 4X4 but isn't one). I'm trying to get around and almost getting stuck here and there, and the funniest look is on people faces like they are thinking "Put that thing in 4X you idiot!"

Re: Boy did it snow!
We didn't get quite that much snow, but the wind is horrendous. 40+ MPH, and that's the gusts.

Re: Boy did it snow!
What a difference about 250 - 300 miles South makes.
Cold & windy here. 55 degrees yesterday, & about 35 now, with 35 mph wind. But sun is shining bright & NO SNOW. I hate snow. Be safe & stay warm. Last edited by 68shortstep; 12-09-2009 at 04:50 PM. |

Re: Boy did it snow!
I am up in Saskatchewan north of ND and we haven't had barely any snow. Maybe 0.5" so far. Maybe it is better to live in Canada? Other than the fact it is -30celsius!!
