6. We have less than an inch at 7:40 AM.
The forecast is for heavy snow until 6 PM. They're guessing we'll get between 5 and 10 inches.

30. damn snow!
It made my baby boy and his three bandmates leave here a day early to get back to Boston before it hit. I was gonna make them breakfast this morning. x( It was so much fun to have them here and now it is too quiet. We're only getting an inch or two of the white stuff.
Blah. Winter sucks. Plus, I'm getting sick and I gave all my "airborne" to the band as they were leaving last night.

51. cool! When I visit again and have the time to get together I will PM
My favorite hang out has always been Ernies- out in Robbinsville, but Fezziwigs serves food at night, Ernies just lunch ( if you get a chance try an Ernie burger, excellent!).

Sometimes I come home for short visits and my sisters keep me running around like a crazy person but Fezzi's is so close... Great to meet a fellow Hamiltonian! (which I will always be, at heart!).

55. 1:40 pm - news said 22.8" about an hour ago ... and it's still snowing
Edited on Sun Feb-12-06 01:41 PM by BattyDem
This really sucks! My car is BURIED and I have a bad back, so I can't dig it out. Of course, my diabetic dog chose this weekend to spike his glucose levels and I can't get to the animal emergency hospital. :-( I was able to push the snow off the car with the help of my neighbor and his son. He's going to use his snowblower to get my car out later today, so hopefully, I can get to the vet tomorrow.

All the stress over my dog has aggravated my asthma BIG TIME! My back is killing me and I have muscle spasms in my neck, even though all I really did was push the snow off the car - no lifting involved. I guess I shouldn't have done anything, but I was starting to panic about my dog.

Sorry to bitch, but it's been a very stressful 24 hours. I just want the damn snow to stop!!!
