oh my! Is it a record?! georgysmom, I promise I won't come now. lol! The last time I played golf for the season was in early November, and then it quickly turned to snowstorms here. :p

Not a record. Usually when it snows here it's all gone in a day or two but we've had really low temps and it's hanging around. Next Wed. it's going up to the 60's so that should take care of it. Yesterday I was just getting to see the fairway and then I woke up this morning…..sigh.

Hard to believe it's not a record -- I would have thought that 2-3" snowfall would be the most you'd get at one time.

We're having the kind of winter where we've had to shovel the snow off roofs because it's too deep and heavy... it's bad enough that it's looking like it might have to be done again. It's depressing because the resulting snowbanks around the perimeter of the house block the view from the windows. Not that it matters much -- the snow and snowbanks are so deep everywhere that you can't see into the road anyway. :p

It's currently -7F here, and we've only had two days in the past month where it got as high as the low/mid-20s, so it will be a long time before we see any fairway or grass of any kind..... unless we drive to Williamsburg next Wed., of course! lol!

I've tried hard not to complain about the weather we're having this year... I know that it can *always* get worse. lol! It's definitely gone on long enough that it's getting to everyone though -- lots of people here are running on a short fuse these days. :O)

I know I get tired of the cold and snow, but I am used to it. Better be, where I live. I make the best of it, get out and enjoy it as much as I can. However, I am prepared for it, have to be. I have every degree of warm or less warm outwear one can own, or so my DH claims, and our homes are built to withstand the cold. Our vehicles have block heaters in them, we put snow tires on every fall, change them back to all seasons in the spring. If the driveway gets blown in, we have a tractor and blade to clear it so we can get around. Our highway crews are out plowing all the time. I guess, for me it is an inevitable mind set and life goes on as normal.

I do feel for those of you that don't get a winter every year. It can come as a shock to the system for sure. All I know for sure is that spring will come, and summer, and there are far more people I know that don't cope with the heat as well as the cold. At least that is what it seems from listening to the folks in this part of the country, anyway. LOL

I have repeatedly said that I can never remember a February as cold as this one..... and apparently we've never had any month as cold as this. I heard on the radio last night that we are well on our way to setting a new "coldest month on record". The previous record was an average temperature of 9.xF, set in 1851. They are anticipating that the new "coldest month on record" will be an average temperature of 7F. It is currently -6.2F. :p

my 93 year old MIL lives right off Duke of Glocester and is snowbound...she still drives and gets out everyday and this is very upsetting that she's having to stay in...Hope it clears up for you soon!!

Liz, your MIL sounds incredible! I think it's wonderful that she's so active at 93. It should just be a day or two more now. The roads are great but at 93, she has to be careful about icy patches when she has to get out of the car and walk. The sun is shining now, temps in the 30's, tomorrow, rain and temps in the 40's, Mon, sunny and 50's and Wed., the 70's. That should take care of all the snow once and for all.
