I guess its true when they say be careful what you ask for...
The last couple of years we didn't get any snow and this year its a different story.
It snowed all weekend and now the temps have dropped to the Teens and were expecting to get another storm this weekend into the week.
I missed the snow the last few years but I think its safe to say I'm over it now. I spent about 3 hours shoveling snow this weekend just to make it out my drive way to get errands done lol.
How many more days until spring?

A dusting is nice but once it needs shoveling I'm a big "nope"

We had snow Sunday and Monday but it didn't amount to anything. We're supposed to see several more days of snowfall this week. I'm really hoping it doesn't amount to anything, either.
I HAD to get out and drive in the 13F temps yesterday and watched snow falling on the car but melting as soon as it touched the pavement. 
I hope you're working from home again this week. Good luck!

@DaddyEvil Thanks, I sent an email earlier about possible joining via webex due to the bad weather and they were fine with it. Saves me a trip to PA and driving in crappy weather

I agree with you 100%. I'm already tired of snow and dread the thought of more coming this weekend. Guess I'll have to make sure I have my refrigerator and pantry stocked with everything I'll need just in case they're right. From what I've seen we could get a significant amount here. Hope not but....

Spare a thought for me
I had to dig out our drive every year between 1999 and 2015.
We lived in the countryside.
See by 2016 I was so scared of the winter that we moved to where we are now
