It finally got warm enough here to melt the snow enough so that you can see green grass in most of my yard. Then this morning, heavy rains followed by cold, turning into snow. 8" - 15" of the white stuff forecasted for today/tonight & tomorrow! +&*%$#@@$ winter!

Mine too! Sump pump is working overtime today. 2" of water in my driveway is now covered by about 4" of snow so far. I hate NY too, with a passion.

I feel bad for you guys in the snow states, life is sweet in west Texas where we had a week of ice/snow but now in the 70-80s, indeed a mild winter here.

We got hit with the same damned weather system here. I am so fed up! Rained all day Saturday and it washed away most of the snow and salt. Then I get up this morning and the white sh** was all over the place and coming down hard.

One of the reasons I made the move from Indiana to SoCal last year - tired of the snow and ice and cold. It was 80 deg. here today as I was working on my new garage making it even nicer than the last one.

Hope your weather improves quickly!
