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?

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!

Yikes, that looks and sounds cold!!! Dare I tell you that it is currently 80 degrees out and sunny in CA?!? Send some of that snow to us, we need the water!!! Somehow we should get it shipped here and help both of us out :)

I hope you fellow Nurses stay warm and are able to get to/from work safely!!

ESME--I have to say my first thought about your first photo was "Looks like I'd have a blast sledding down the roof into/onto that drift!!! And then reality hit.........would I SURVIVE sledding down that roof onto/into that drift??????? Ah yes......my first winter in the Boston area was pretty much like now. I didn't think I'd survive. But now that time and distance is here, I miss it! To a point.......my snowshoes sit unused in my closet as I look out on the lake by which we now live, looking a the sunny skies and the ducks as they float by, and enjoying the 50s temps. However, being in Texas, I am well aware that could change in a blink of an eye. Anyway---y'all stay safe up there !!!
