I had to shovel this morning. About 1/2 - 1". Sucked ass. Colder than [expletive] too. Can't stand this stuff any longer. Bull [expletive].

I bought a big bag of driveway salt back in November and just realized the other day I haven't even had to open it yet. Only had to shovel once so far this winter.

I just a whole bag of that crap last weekend. There was a coating of ice on my driveway I couldn't get off, and now that I got it off there a new coating.

Winters up here are about 5,409 times worse than they are in St. Louis.

That never fails for me either. If we get a decent snow, after scooping I'll just leave the shovel handy on the porch -and never seem to need it again.

Only at about 100-110" so far of accumulation at my house in NY. There's only about a month and a half left of real winter left, so it will actually end up as probably the most mild winter experienced since I made ties to the area. Barring a series of rapidly consecutive big snowfalls, we'll only end up with probably 175-200" of snow, which is definitely way less than normal.

I'm really wondering if I am going to get out of here on time Monday morning. Flight scheduled at 8:50, we have gone from 1-3" forecast that would be done by early Sunday evening to a full fledged winter storm that will linger into Monday.
