As a resident of Ohio for 48 years, I can happily announce I am spending this winter in South Texas. 8-) If I get homesick I look at the white sand,pretend it's snow, turn the a/c down a notch or two for effect and make some cocoa....

Don't ya just love Manhattan when it snows like this, the city is so quiet and you can walk down the middle of the street and not even hear thecabs. By Tuesday it will be a yucky, brown mess, but until then ....

Yea CF but we all get a snow day tomorrow here in the Buckeye State. Even the Ohio State University is closed. Hot Chocolate, fire in the fireplace, sledding, the quietness of walking through the snow. It doesn't get much better than this in my book.

well, we've been waiting and waiting and finally I can look out the window and see...NOTHING, i mean it IS snowing and there is no visibility so finally the weatherman is right, the local Whole Foods was crazy at noon, (and no snow) no shopping carts to be found, not even the arm held ones, and the check out lines went down the aisles, they're predicting 12-18" and it could be pretty, got to find that black and white film and hope the dogs don't want to go out!

So sick of all this snow.

We were supposed to be heading to Florida from Boston with a stop in Newark tomorrow morning but it looks as if it won't happen. We were in the same snowboat at Christmas - on the plane, ready to go and then our flight was cancelled. I guess our plans for tomorrow are up in the air in more ways than one!

I am assuming that Newark is closed, so could someone in the Newark area post here if and when the airport is open for flights?

NYC reporting here. Lots of snow and it will snow all day. It's beautiful because it hasn't been spoiled yet by city life! My dog loved running and playing in it this morning! ENJOY!!!!!

TO MARIANNA: Newark airport is actually open -- but there are no flights leaving -- that's what the local news reports.

I'd say there's at least a foot on the ground where I am in central New Jersey, with another foot or so expected to fall during the day. I can't even open my front door because of the drifts. It does look beautiful though, and since I don't have to go anywhere today, let it snow.

Thank you, Trover, and have fun in the snow with your dog. It is pretty and can be enjoyable when you don't have to (really want to) travel somewhere. It is now snowing in my area north of Boston.

We left Annapolis MD at 6 pm on Friday. We are now in sunny Longboat Key Fl and the weather is pleasant and warm. Can you imagine how surprised we are to see all this snow up there now! Our friends have been calling telling us all that we've missed!! Hah - on the lat big one in 96' we got stuck in Springfield Virginia and had to stay in a motel watching the tieup on the beltway. Thanks but I like it better on this trip.

Advice from those of us who live in snowy cities-grab a bottle of wine, a cup of hot cocoa, or whatever it is you like, watch a good movie, read a good book, play board games with your family, cook up a storm, and wait for it to stop snowing. No reason to go out driving-that's when people get killed or die. Appreciate what you have, your friends, family and neighbors and find creative things to do to pass the time. I bet there will be a lot of babies born next November. by the way, although we've had at least 100" of snow this season, we missed this storm here in western new york.

When my Pup went out this morning, he sank to his belly in the snow. If dogs can have puzzled looks on their faces, he had one!
I am happy to stay in and be warm today! So far over a foot, going to be about 2 feet I hear. Brrrrrrrr~

I learned during the blizzard of 96 that I need to dig a path for my Lab before she would venture out in belly-deep snow. In fact, I am more diligent in keeping her path free of snow than I am about my driveway. At first I cleared a linear path, and cleared it several times during the day. Then later I created several forks in the path, so she would have a little variety in her wanderings (2.5 - 3 ft drifts in our yard). Its the least I can do in exchange for her unconditional love!

Can't resist adding to dog-in-snow stories: had a basset hound when we lived near Chicago and had to do same thing as BarbaraF -- clear at least one and preferably 2-3 paths for her. If the snow was higher than about a foot, it was hysterically funny to see nothing other than the wagging tail out in the back yard. If it was loosely packed and less than a foot, it was also very funny to see her disappear into the snow pack and then bounce out in a burst of snow, like a big, overstuffed rabbit with drooping ears.

We also entertained our neighbors considerably when the basset got older and was less tolerant of cold and frozen snow clumbs on her paws: we made a coat out of an old blanket and then rigged "boots" out of socks with rubber lid-twister-off'er pads, held up with kid's suspenders tucked under the blanket-coat.

Now we live in the south and have a cat -- not nearly so diverting.

You are a typical New Yorker! Whenever anything happens in New York you expect the entire country to know about it.

When we had over 100 inches inches of snow with high winds and deaths in Fargo a few years ago with home cave-ins, It wasn't on national broadcasts.

NYer's whine and everybody has to listen to it. Quit whining.

Wow Ren, having a bad day, are you?
If you read any of these replies, you will notice that people in Ohio, Pa, and DC are also contributing to a thread about snow.
Maybe you should go take a nap and wake up in a better mood, or move out of ND, might make you a more cheerful person.
