So much for the big bad storm....

Up here in Erie, close to the lake, we got nothin'! Seriously...it never snowed enough to cover the grass, and they say we may get some freezing rain today but right now it's just rain. I see there are a few church cancellations to the south of us. Anyone get slammed like they were predicting? On Thursday they were saying we could get anywhere from 12-20 inches of snow.

We went to Toronto for our honeymoon....great city! You'd think they'd be used to snow...no?

They don't get much snow in Toronto, compared to the rest of the province. I truly was shocked when I moved away, how much snow other areas get.Toronto is a great city, I miss it so much. I do go back a lot though.Dh would never dream of living there so here we live in the boondocks. I guess he has some good points though. So much nicer to raise kids where we are now and so much cheaper to buy a nice house.Several years ago Toronto called in the military when they were expecting a big snow storm. My friends in other parts of Canada would not let me live that down.

I hope it's still just rain up there, Moody. My Mom has to go in to work this morning and traveling 90 wouldn't be much fun it it was all ice. It's kind of like sleet here, I can hear it on the windows. We got about an inch of snow last night by 11, and that looks like all we got. I'm not really looking forward to taking the girls to Sunday school in a half hour - that wind looks raw out there.

Marcy, now that it's light out I can see that the street looks icy. Not sure how the main roads are at all.

It has rained here since about noon yesterday. It is supposed to turn to ice and then to snow later toady.

We had about 5 inches yesterday, then sleet on top of it. Then, this morning it is lightly snowing again and they are predicting 1 to 3 more inches, before it warms up....so it will get all slushy and melty, then freeze tonight. Yuck!

we are getting it right now..i tink we have 3-4 inches in areas on top of the 10 we got on Thursday so it seems like more.

Well, Amy.......south and east of you here in the Allentown/north of Reading area we're a sheet of ice. It took DH twice as long to get to work as usual, but when he got to Reading, there was no ice. But our home, about 15 miles north of Reading, is one large block of ice!

We got blasted!!! Over a foot and still coming down and starting to turn to sleet. Church was canceled as was everything else. We just had an unexpected storm on thursday and got a foot and now this!! But have to say it's awesome out there..although I don't have to go out!

Wait...you don't have a storm?! We do - all day we've had crazy amounts of - oh wait - it's just rain. Boo Hoo.

Ours petered out too. But before it did it was coming down with a fury. At 8am Bud and I went out for breakfast and over to Walmart (I wanted a new blender) The stores and roads were so EMPTY!

We drove over to get some groceries and drove through a snow pile. What a blast!But more snow is supposed to be on the way. BLECH

We got between 3-5 inches. We weren't supposed to get anything other than a dusting. No real impact here though.Jenna
