Blizzard in New York

Website · Sun Feb 12, 2006 5:21 pm

I live in New York and right now we have about a foot of snow. Later this afternoon total accumulations are expected to be 16-24 inches!!

Everything is totally covered outside, and I can barely see anything because of the blowing snow.

Anyone else live in the tri-state area and would like to share their experiences? I am really enjoying this... January has been unnaturally warm. I'm glad we finally got some snow.

And I think 72 F* is cold. We're sitting down here in the (US) south with the AC on.

It's cold here too (Texas), but nowhere near as cold as that. I do know that last night it got down to about 27 F. That storm that's dumping snow in the NE is the same storm that dumped some rain here in the South a couple of days ago. I'm just mad that we didn't even get an inch out of that.

So I've heard from my dad who lives in New Jersey, works in NYC.
Sounds like fun. I haven't been out in snow for 5 years. Plus I was in NY for 2 weeks this December, and it had to snow the day I left -- I was already at the airport

I live in the albany area. We got mayby four inches, and we live on a mountain. The storm basically broke by the time it got this far north.

Is in the tri-state area, got loads of snow here too. Any of you who want it are welcome to it! Seriously. All it means for me is work shoveling out around the house and the front walk. Bleh.

Albany only got 4 inches? Wow, that's weird. My roomie's stepdad lives near Ithica. They've been getting clobbered all winter.

*packs bags and goes to move in with Dusket*

I live in a suburb of Albany (10 minutes or so from downtown) and I'd be surprised if we even have an inch of snow. I can see the grass sticking up through the snow in my backyard.

New York is getting snow. California is getting heat waves and La Nina. The area where I live should be covered in fog and days away from a massive deluge. Global warming sure is messing with the environment

Binghamton only has a few inches. Oh well, it's not like they'd cancel class even if we got the blizzard.

I'm in Virginia right now and we got some snow but it's kinda all melting away...I haven't seen serious snow since I lived in Ohio five years ago.

No offense, but can you go one topic without sneaking in some commie-libbish comment? Seriously.

I can, but then I would have far fewer posts

Becides, I think that is more of an argument for science than a political statement.

yea it got about that.. thats the bad part about Texas.. go to Colorado, EXTREMELY cold when you get about 5,000 ft + at night, but it gets around 70-80 in the day.. i've been camping there for 2 years now... in the summer..
