Enough snow! It started snowing around 0100 and is just now starting to ease. Somewhere around 18" but difficult to measure due to drifting. Got the closed call at 0530 and went back to bed until 0830! Waiting for my driveway to be plowed.

Snowing with a windchill of 10 here in balmy NE Georgia.

To all of you snow lovers who wished for snow, I hope you are happy! I have two feet of this nasty stuff in my yard and a pile at the end of my driveway from the plow that will probably be there until May! Enough is enough! And it is only January.

According to NBC, the only state in the contiguous 48 without snow is Florida. It would be more tolerable if it weren't 9 degrees outside.

South GA - windchill of 15 when I went out to take care of horses this morning. I'm tired of winter now.

Becca, we had 12 degrees on the front porch. Not sure what the wind chill was this morning. I'm happy to see the sun today. I told a co-worker I feel like a vampire.. it burns my eyes. LOL.

This is the perfect thread to share this email I just received:

I just got off the phone with friend living in northern North Dakota near the Canadian border.

He said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling.

The temperature is dropping way below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force.

His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare.

He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in.
