OT - East Coast Snow Venting Thread
Live in NJ and just got finished shoveling 12"+ snow for at least the 6th time this winter and this stuff was by far the heaviest. Its also suppose to snow again tonight. I can honestly say this is the worst winter I've ever seen in Jersey and worse than anything I remember in Ann Arbor except maybe Winter 2005.
I encourage others to commiserate as the old saying goes "misery enjoys company."

78 and sunny in AZ right now :) I did my time in the midwest and I'll never shovel snow again.

This winter has been the WORST. Sick of all the snow and the cold temperatures. This is my third winter in Philly and I am at my breaking point this year.
Silver Lining: get to work from home quite a bit this year, but am actually getting tired of that as well.

if you're an M-grad you gotta be knowledgeable enough to know that it's not "global warming" but climate change, and all of the chaos that comes with it. Meanwhile--yeah--average temps are rising. My Southern Baptist mother-in-law cannot (or will not) absorb this, but the rest of us shouldn't still be recycling the 'global warming my ass' meme.

Channel 4 said 60 by next Thursday. Heard that Richmond got thunder snow. Lewis Black has a classic rant on that when he experienced one time in Boston.

A good portion of the UP's economy is based off of snowmobiling, skiing/snowboarding, ice fishing and the like. Bring on that snow!

Meh, this isn't as bad as I thought. Given, the city seems a bit less snowy than the suburbs, but living out in the Bronx I figured I'd get be getting crappy services. So far, nice clean-ish walkways and the trains were running reasonably well.

here in Tallahassee. Which probably means we'll have at least one more freeze.

In total, we received 13" today, so I guess this explains my throwing in the towel. With the freezing rain this evening, the rest of my driveway will suck to clear. That, and the fact that I no longer have any place to put the snow. It's stacked 5' high along my driveway.

Text yesterday morning from fellow UofM alum:
"65 and sunny here in Sochi!"
smh
NY/NJ and it looks like no one even bothered to shovel or plow anything this time around.

60 to 70 degrees. WTF?

Normally I hate raking leaves but I don't mind shoveling snow. This year, I hate all of it.
