The Snow is here

Good Day, The other day I was saying how again the weatherman (ahh people) were telling us about this storm coming and well as it usually happens, we got like and inch or two. Well, they were telling us again and hey we are getting it. They told us we could get 8-12 inches (20-30.4cm) today and well it started snowing here about 3am and at 1:30 pm our town has snow at 8.3 inches, and it is still snowing. They are saying it should stop snowing about 4 in the morning, another like 12 hours. So, we have hit the low end of the prediction and in 12 hours it’s possible we could hit that foot of snow. I’m okay with it, I have nowhere to go tonight or tomorrow. They call this type of snow heart attack snow. The reason is, it’s that heavy wet snow that people try to go out and shovel and it’s a bigger workout than they think it’s going to be. They get out there and don’t take it easy and take breaks and overwork themselves and end up having a heart attack trying to shovel. So, if you’re getting this kind of snow remember to pace yourself and take it easy. I’ll update you tomorrow with our total. Are you getting show? How much?

@Bensen32 Would a blower work? If not, could I borrow that broom?

@moffittjc Leaf blow works wonders on the dusting of snow.

We are expecting 5-10 cm of snow, and it started just over an hour ago and we probably have about 3cm that have fallen. We are also getting snow thunder, and very high winds. Stay safe where you are.

@Bensen32 The seasons have changed greatly, and it has been above freezing more than not during this, what should be the coldest month of the season, this year. We have alot of winds, but not much snow.

I'm thankful it rarely if ever snows here in Florida. Here in Daytona, we're lucky if we get more than what'd be considered a light dusting.

We do not have snow here, but I did love seeing my first snow before in Tajikistan.

@1creekgirl It seems like a lot, but I was talking to a neighbor, and we were talking how we would get 2 or 3 of these a year back in the day and now we might get one a year.

@Bensen32 Snow usually is located in the northern part of the state.

@Deepizzaguy Ahh okay. I only been to New Orleans and only one time for 4 days and it was nice out. I think maybe the locals would have called it cold but was nice to me. It was in December and going home our flight was delayed as we were getting too much snow. LOL

Remember to be safe and take a break if you need to remove snow.

No snow here, just cold rain for now. They say we could see flurries over the next several days. That said, they have said that almost every week since mid December and I haven't seen a flake yet. Stay safe and have a blessed weekend.
