Well, I am where we have been belted with snow. They are using the "B" word again....yup BLIZZARD and not of the Dairy Queen Blizzard.

Any one else dealing with this mess?

What are the facilities doing to keep nurses safe?

This is after the first storm, which we had to dig out by hand because the plow couldn't get up our driveway. Since then we've gotten 18 more inches, and the hits just keep on coming! This path to the woodshed is about 4 feet deep. And this is also the last day, until today, 3 weeks later, that we had sunshine. 6-18" predicted for tonight into Sunday. Bleahhh.

I work from home. Yippee.

I'm glad I am not in the Northeast.

we're just freezing our collective assets off here in PA - I have family in MA and its ridiculous! Stay safe!

Dare I say it......I thought this thread was going to be about the word "bully".

Whew, what a relief! :yeah:

Anyway, know you're not alone with the crappy weather. We're also getting lots of snow, which I don't so much mind as I enjoy outdoor winter activites. It's the bone-chilling cold that I can't handle. Some days have been so cold, it's literally painful to be outside.

Used to live in Mass & NH. Now I live in a snow free area. Have to say I do NOT miss that wintery nonsense. Stay safe, everyone.

LOL, I had a totally different "B" word in mind!! ;)

But yes, I'm in the same delightful snowbelt region, and I have 7 foot WALLS of snow on either side of my driveway; it's a plowed, wide driveway and those walls are really impressive! The walls slope toward the lawns, which are (I'm guessing) about 2-3 feet deep at varying points.

It warmed to 3 degrees today, I believe. Maybe a bit warmer, but with the wind, kinda hard to care HOW many degrees it is, it's NOT ENOUGH!!!

My southern relatives tell me they are freezing, because Florida hit a very chilly 64 degrees this morning. Oh, my, the suffering....:nailbiting:

I am living on the coast. I love a good snow storm and I'm off this time and can't wait to play in the snow!
