Yeah it was bad enough that in my area there was a state emergency telling us not to go on the roads, and i also had to run hot water through my sink to make sure the pipes didn't freeze. Definitely one of the worsts storms only second to the one that was about 2-3 years ago where i had snow that went all the way up to my roof which was a bitch shoveling out.

Central Indiana here. No school Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday (although Monday was already scheduled off) and no one was allowed to drive here due to a travel warning.

My brother had to go into work (he delivers pizza) even though we were still under a travel warning. We're now under a watch.

NE Indiana here.

I watched the snow come down for a while, then went to bed. The next day, I awoke to find my dog being particularly floppy. She only gets floppy-like when something is really stressing her out. That's when I realized she wasn't able to go outside because a snow drift had completely covered the door she uses to go outside. That was fun.

Our road is completely impassable, I got a call from the highway department saying they *might* start plowing today. We got about 12-13 inches of snow or more, the drifts are some of the biggest I've seen since 99'. Maybe I will be able to leave the house, but I'm assuming I won't be able to make a food run until Thursday - so my braving the INSANITY in the grocery store this last weekend was worth it.

The two major highways I live right next to were shut down for around 2-3 days. I believe today they reopened them, despite them not being in ideal conditions. Unfortunately, it's the only road I live by, except some back roads, which rarely ever get plowed. My town was in a state emergency for a couple days as well, though I'm not sure what the news is on that. We're probably off of it now, but we're supposed to get more snow throughout the week until Saturday, so we'll see. Fortunately, we didn't get any snow today like the people said there might be.

Shoveling has never been so fun.

AWWW Poor muffffffins. Got wittle bit of snow?

This is my 3rd snow-day... 30 inches of snow the last 2 days. The first 2 snow-days were because of visibility. Today they took the plows off the road because there was too much snow to push. All of the roads within a 50km radius are shutdown. Pretty awesome, probably has something to do with living right on Lake Huron.

meanwhile in germany: 12°C and sunshine

German here... still no idea how to convert fahrenheit to celsius... could you americans pls use the metric system? D:

I think about -40F = -40C, its the only time they're equal iirc. The rest of the time it varies I think. It's annoying in the UK when the papers get all excited because it's high 20's in Celsius and start using Fahrenheit because bigger numbers are more exciting and I have to go look up what the temperature actually is.

Southern Wisconsin here. No snow luckily but it got down to around -35F the past couple days with windchill. Car battery bricked, had to miss work monday. Looks like the worst is gone now though. High of 30 above for the weekend :^)

U guys have the Quebec status for 2 weeks instead of 4 months, lucky u. =/

Here it's been about -30 (not actual temperature, but it "feels" like -30) since the beginning of December, x3 is right, you guys are pretty lucky heh :/

I live in Sweden and we haven't seen the snow you're having aince 95 I'm pretty sure

Standards? Nah, we don't need them.

take it

Meanwhile in LA: 80°F and warm weathers

Southern CA - 73 - 77 today

It was cold as fuck the last few days here in Children of the Corn- I mean Nebraska, but the snow gods were merciful to only grace me with a few inches as opposed to the foot others got

All hail the snow gods(?)

Canada... Dumbass.

Yeah Quebec, and Alberta suck in the winter all that snow and cold and nothing to do, gotta love BC where we have somthing other then flat so snow is fun ;) ps its only -1 and sunny atm

central indiana here, we'll likely be off school tomorrow too. Kinda sucks because I haven't entered any grades or anything yet and it'll be a massive rush to get it done on the day we go back. I went out yesterday. It took about 45 minutes to dig my car out and get it warmed up enough to drive. Really nasty stuff, especially after last winter when we didn't really get anything.

I remember the '99 storm. I lived out in the county with my grandparents at the time and my brother and I scared them half to death by jumping off the roof into the drifts. We missed about a week of school.

"cold as fuck" is a terrible understatement compared to what we're used to here :c

If your people would stop speaking french, north america would be a wonderland.

We missed like 3 weeks of school here in 99' it was right after Christmas break ended too so we got like a full month off of school + 1 week or some nonsense. It was the best time to be a kid ever lol.

They're apparently *thinking* about putting the kids back in school around Friday here - but I have my doubts. Even the major highways here are still sheets of ice. Even with 4wd I didn't dare go faster than 20 mph.

It was around 65 here today. If you every-other-state-in-the-country people could kindly take back these frigid temperatures it would be much appreciated.

we were supposed to go back tomorrow with a 2 hour delay but a bunch of water lines broke in the schools so i'm off another day AND a delay on Friday. Ridiculous. So much time off.

I'm in California, but I wish you guys in the east well, sounds like hell over there.

i could go for hell right now
