What Happened to Winter!

[Glenn Clabo]

This has been THE mildest winter...with the least amount of snow I've ever witnessed in my life...including the 20 years in VA. I convinced 2 guys in work to buy snowthrowers in the fall last year. They love me...

Should have kept my big mouth shut!<TABLE width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD>Blizzard Watch - URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR NEWPORT COUNTY VALID FROM SAT FEB 11 2006 04:09 AM EST UNTIL SAT FEB 11 2006 01:00 PM EST.</TD></TR><TR><TD>BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH SNOWFALL RATES NEAR 3 INCHES PER HOUR.

Glenn,

This sounds like last year! Hope it's only a one time shot.

Heading my way too. Here in my area of Maine we have been very lucky this year, with mild temperatures and almost no snow. It's been cold the last few days though. Now it looks like winter will arrive tomorrow morning. But the weather forecaster on local TV said it should warm back up into the 40's by the end of next week. Strange weather!

[Frank Guerin]

I know what you mean. Been in the upper 70's for awhile now and I'm tired of wearing this coat. It did rain a bit the other day but all the cows passed out and we had to go throw dirt in there face to bring back to. Will spring never get here.

Winter FINALLY came to Central VA overnight. At 8:30 last night, we had less than an inch on the driveway. When I woke up at 6:30 this morning, the deck railing had just under 11". Heavy and wet.....fun to play in, but not so much fun to move.

Here it is -- New York -- this morning:

[Jim Becker]

It's bbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccckkkkkkk....if only temporarily. Expecting 50 degrees by Wednesday. Started out at 21 this morning and is up to 32 already. About 12" of accumulation or so.

[Dave Carey]

We missed winter in northern Virginia until last night. 13" of snow in my driveway this morning. Weatherman claims that we got less than that but not in my yard!

I guess I can't complain about our recent 37 days in a row of rain, since we've now had a week of sunny weather. Daytime highs close to 60 and lows 28-30. We're supposed to get a couple of days of rain then more sunny days. This morning I was driving along the lake I pass on the way to the shop and saw two bald eagles sitting side by side in a tree.

[Andy Hoyt]

The white stuff began falling up here around noon. About an inch so far.

Bring it on!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Jim.........The pictures of the girls and parent are priceless!

Hi Joe, you might take another look at the forcast, chance of snow wed.
