Well, here in Bucks County PA I got about 4 inches of snow last night. I should have got out early to shovel, but I waited, and along came some freezing rain. So the once fluffy snow that I could have removed with a broom got all soaked and turned slushy, so shoveling it was a lot more work since it weighed a lot more. Still, slushy snow is better than no snow. I pulled the kids around in their sled for a bit, and then I had to get to work clearing my front side walk so the borough doesn't fine me.

Shoveling Snow
Comments
What an amazing news story!! lol...
It haven't really snowed here in Denmark this year... So I have to wait till next year to bombard my little sister with snowballs :P
Yeah, I must be getting old if I look forward to going out and shoveling snow. Gets me out of the house. Hey cool, my old car mechanic, who retired from his business, is out plowing my sidewalk with the borough's little tractor plow. He now works for the borough, and does whatever odd jobs need done around town. :)
Where I live, we don't have snow. I haven't seen snow in like 4 years. w/e
I wish it was snowing here >:(
Around here, we are getting about 9 inches of snow.
It's still snowing.
Yea, it finally snowed here too. I didn't get up early enough to shovel, I missed out on the fun.
It's not as bad as I thought it would be....no freezing rain but 4-6 inches in NY kept me busy shoveling for an hour. At least, the snow was good for snowball fighting this time.
We had some snow today as well actually, made even more strange by the fact the past few days were blistering sunshine.
Are snow is already shoveled down here in pittsburgh.
what a nice story...
Happy days. I remember the halfmeterhigh plains of white powder we used to have before moving down to souther territoriums. Now it's all melted and green . . .
Snowed here, too. Luckily my parents wanted me out helping on shoveling before the rain made the snow any heavier.
Haste is the key with snow-shoveling.
Nice pic wade.
You're obviously missing your LMG though.
Haha. I could have used my LMG today. Our back yard has been full of Robins, up in the trees, you know, the birds. I now hate Robins, they are shit bags with wings and they sit up in our trees and shit all over our yard and our car. I took my kids out to play in the fresh snow, and over half of the snow was covered in bird shit! I even got shit on, my coat sleeve, while I was cleaning off our minivan. I proceeded to throw snow balls at the fucking Robins and yell at them. Then I realized beating my snow shovel on my garage door was far more effective as the loud banging chased them promtly away. :)
Shame they are protected and I can't discharge a gun where I live. Otherwise I'd unload on them with a 12 guage.
To see how bad it is, check this pic, and use the right arrow above to scroll through some more. Every brown spot is bird shit:

Your kids are lucky Wade! My mom lent me a couple bucks so I could buy my friend a birthday card and I have to shovel to pay her back. Its snowing right now and the snow has piled up to at least half a foot by now. What doesn't help is that the plows come by every five minutes, and they plow so carelessly so that they get snow in every single driveway. Oh, and my dad is pretty mush allergic to manual labor.
I live on the main road through town, and their is no shoulder for the lane that is infront of my place, so the cars are inches from the sidewalk when they drive by, and the plows through the snow onto my sidewalk, which sucks. I can't shovel it into the road because the cars would drive over it. I have to pile it up in my front lawn. Oh well, the joys of living on a main road.
Well, if your Dad would have a heart attack or something trying to shovel, then that's not good. :) I felt like I was going to drop dead a couple times, so I can see how a lot of people die from shoveling. :)
thanks to the snow, i had no school today! it's a good thing too because i had projects due today for reading and social studies.
Where I live we got about four inches then it rained. The snow is under a sheet of ice.
More important Wade, where is the snowman???????
Damn you and your reletively epic snow that you Americans recieve.
In England, we get melted ice at the most, also any chance of slight snow, quickly turns to this slush in several hours.
I do wish I got something like that at some point : (
Seems fun.
pft, you call that snow?
that's not even a light dusting
Well I got off school thanks to freezing rain which was pretty tight, but Winter still sucks.
I really would love to leave to leave the northeast for 6 months of the year.

We don't get snow in Texas... and since I had to work this Christmas break instead of seeing my family in Michigan.. I haven't seen any snow in a while :(
Oh Poo. Looks like you were having fun though ;)
