Not sure if I posted this in the right section but it's snowing here in SC. Been going since about 3:30. Already tired of it. Anyone else?

So you can do this much snow standing on your head.

Tired of it? Nope. The more we can get, the better...and right now, we don't have nearly enough!

We're about to get hit with a "bomb cyclone" in NYC. I'm 64 and that description is a 1st for me.

62 here and always called this type of storm a nor'easter, guess some fool decided it needed a scary name upgrade.

Sadly, Richmond is on the western side of storm so only a few inches.

I DON'T feel your pain, Nope, not one bit. My car has been in the garage since the end of October, well, maybe I drove it once when the temps jumped up. However it will be well into April/May time frame before it comes out of hibernation.

The worse thing about snow down south is that folks don't know how to drive in it. Not the transplanted northerners who grew up learning to drive in snow and ice, but the true southerners that just don't.

Ha Ha, funny. My car came from Ohio 7 years ago. Surely looks like it never saw October.
Garaged mine mid December as we typically do not see snow in CT until then. Totally agree on snow drivers from the south, feel sorry for them though when they visit up here during the winter.
Enjoy yours while you can!
