I probably have about 3 inches of ice blanketing the landscape of where I live. My house sits on a hill, and the whole yard is covered in ice. Absolutely no way am I ever going to walk across my yard to go down the hill... Even the roads have been horrible the past two days. I have never seen so much ice cover every square inch of every touchable surface there is. :uhoh

This winter storm sucked for me. I wanted snow, not ice!!!!!! :furious :bhead

My snow banks are high enough now that if they were closer together I could lay plywood across the top and have a car port and not have to snowblow for the rest of the year !
couple of my friends were bored and decided one day to make a mega igloo/fort in someone's backyard (complete with lawn chairs and table inside it). thing is actually higher than a ranch home and can fit 4 comfortably in it... The things people do when you cant go out and have fun :lol

This is the winter. Its the north east. Its SUPPOSED to flipping snow! If I didnt want to deal with snow regularly I'd do what I tell all the rest of the snow whiners here to do.
I'd move to Florida. Or worse yet.
Texas.

You captured my thoughts exactly.  I can't tell you how sick I was of people in upstate NY complaining about snow in the winter.  Nowadays I find myself thinking there is not enough snow in the winter, but I chose to move 300 miles south.  To answer the originally question posed -- we got about a 1/2 inch of rain, but not a single flake here in DC.  :frown:  Of course, last season we got absolutely bamboozled with snow, while western NY remained relatively (by their standards) dry.  One never knows...

 i love the snow. i hate the cold that has to be in order for it to snow.

 the only thing i really squeak about due to snow, is traffic. there are WAY too many people on the road that should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle in clear weather, much less turn em loose in the snow.

I don't mind the cold itself until the temperature is below 20 F.  However, when you mix wind in it can become miserable pretty quickly.

No question about the traffic, cap!  I used to enjoy driving in the snow, so long as I had a nice country road to myself.  The old Camry with snow studs did pretty well...perhaps too well.   :D

Sunny and 49 deg here in Seattle yesterday.
They're calling for ran showers over the next few days.

Lots of snow, but up in the mountains, we just drive to the snow if we want snow, 1 hour East or West (Cascades or Olympics)  :devil
