Yes! We need some really hard freezes this year! I've never seen so many mosquitos, spiders, and fire ants. This is the first year we actually bought a service contract with Terminix (after finding a giant spider *in* the diaper bag).

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (runs screaming from the room)

We're getting our first "snow" -- it's kind of sleety and disgusting. Over 40 degrees tomorrow, so it's not sticking around. I have to admit, I hope we get more of a real winter this year. Last year was all mud, slush, and cold rain -- I'll take the white fluffy stuff over that any day. I miss Minnesota.

So, we are expecting a massive storm tonight. This quote from the weather channel's website freaks me out a bit...

IT CAN NOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH THE SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION FOR THOSE LIVING IN NORTHEAST IOWA... INTO SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY STAYING HOME... GETTING TO YOUR TRAVEL DESTINATION BEFORE THE SNOW BEGINS... AND PREPARING NOW FOR SIGNIFICANT BLOWING/DRIFTING AND WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. ROAD CREWS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE INTENSE SNOW RATES. ROADS WILL BECOME IMPASSABLE... MAKING TRAVEL IMPOSSIBLE THURSDAY. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND GO INTO THE DITCH THAT FIRST RESPONDERS WILL LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO YOU. EMERGENCY SERVICES LIKELY WILL CEASE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM. SPORADIC POWER OUTAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

I need to get a bit more food this afternoon, but ugh! Now they have upped out snowfall totals to up to 18" because the track of the storm is changing northward slightly.

I was expecting way worse than what we seem to have gotten here, fwiw. I don't know if that's the same storm or not.

[diggitydot]

We already have 9" of snow with another 14" on its way.

The bad thing about having an amazing view of the valley? Our insanely steep driveway. Even with snow tires, we can't make it out with as little as 1" of snow on the ground. Thankfully, ours is the last house on a dead-end so we just park the cars at the top and walk down.

The kids have an AMAZING sledding hill. As a matter of fact, they got to sled down it with the groceries we picked up last night.

[SuzySunshine]

We are supposed to get our first snow tonight, they're saying 1-3", the kids are THRILLED! I just hope we get more snow then ice!

[Vanquisher]

It was a little chilly today. It got up to 75 though! Friday's only supposed to get to 57! Gah!

[GreyhoundsRUs]

Blizzard warning here. Rain until about midnight, snow after that. DH has to pick up our freezer from Best Buy tomorrow night - I hope the roads are clear! He's unfazed - he just got new tires :eyeroll: I did HAVE to go out and get pop - he won't even be home until tomorrow night (on call tonight), but OMG if there is no DMD in the house!

Shut it

[HouseofWool]

Shut it

I told her the same thing...

Snow makes me want to vomit. Get it away from me.

Yes, I am living in the wrong state.

Ps, Kris, if I had more room, I'd say you could evacuate here! Our weather alert is a bit less scary....I think we are expecting 4-6 horrible inches. Thank you Lake Michigan.
