Nothing works except the lights: no water, fridge, microwave, stove, TV, computer. On the bright side, the lights work and we have a wood stove to keep us warm. Hoping this will be fixed quicker than last time. Here's our latest picture: </p> [attach=2851/12/mfehbm.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-460545 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 15:25:01 +0000 Ash 460545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: we're close to Dubuque! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-460507 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 15:01:34 +0000 skibobrown 460507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Where in Iowa are you? We're in the middle -- about an hour east of Des Moines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-460326 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:23:21 +0000 GreenThumb 460326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up with something in the neighborhood of 15 inches at my house in Wisconsin! It is really pretty, but that is a heck of a lot of snow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-460313 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:16:47 +0000 dc yoga bee 460313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JamieLee: OMG that's a lot of snow!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-459644 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:12:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 459644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so jealous of y'all.

Wow, that's a lot!<br /> @MrsTiz: meh...trust me: I'd rather have your weather:)<br /> We have none so far but by jan/feb we will get a few days where we could have like....4"-6". Not looking forward to driving around with a young infant in that kind of weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-459626 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:19:11 +0000 Ash 459626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: I'm in Iowa too. It's still crazy windy tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-459621 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:09:00 +0000 skibobrown 459621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The snow is over here in Iowa now, and now it's just freezing cold and windy. Blah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-459619 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:06:08 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 459619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a ton! Toddler Girl is in heaven, she just loves it. It's funny how having little kids can get you excited about things that make everyone else cranky.</p> <p>It might rain yet this week though, which would suck. I hate slush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-459550 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 22:29:00 +0000 MrsTiz 459550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we were getting snow! It's 64 degrees here and raining super hard. I've never seen a good snow so I'm living vicariously through you all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-459480 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:32:15 +0000 purrpletulips 459480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JamieLee: people around where I live run out for bread and milk if they predict flurries. It is insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-459468 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:27:19 +0000 Ash 459468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JamieLee: Oh man til 7pm, yuck! I can even see the snow blowing in the pic. I wish I could get a pic but the dog won't even go outside in it so there's no way I am! Hahaha! Your SIL should take the day to relax... there will be a lot of crazy people on the roads who shouldn't be. It's safer at home from what I've seen on the news here. There are a lot of people without power here too--hope yours stays on! I hope you guys all stay safe. I'd be in bed if I didn't have tv (the one time I've been thankful we are tightwads and don't have cable is right now) or my computer. lol! Stay warm! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow/page/2#post-459432 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:05:32 +0000 JamieLee 459432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: still coming down strong. Our winter storm warning goes until 7 pm tomorrow. Just let the dog out and it looks like we have 6 inches of hard packed snow on the deck. Hubby just got home and headed out again to plow. Apparently our road is drifted shut with more than a foot, and my SIL lives on our road and drives a Toyota Corolla, so no way she's making it out tomorrow without some plowing. Our lights just flickered so I shut my computer down and am now checking this on my phone. I'm quite bored now though! Our satellite dish is too caked with snow to get a signal. Guess I should read... </p> [attach=2851/12/mfcz59.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-459414 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 20:56:59 +0000 Ash 459414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JamieLee: Thank you! I am just home by myself hanging out with my animals... haha! Nowhere to go until work on Saturday, thank goodness! And yes, the wind is 100x worse on a hill. How's it looking there? Is it letting up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-459391 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 20:43:09 +0000 JamieLee 459391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: We also live in the boonies on a hill! We're really close to Lake Michigan too (like 1 mile off one of the bays) so we get slammed by lake effect. Living on a hill makes a big difference, especially when it comes to the wind, I think! Hope you don't have to go anywhere while your road is blown shut, and hope you guys are done with Winter Storm Draco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-459313 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:16:39 +0000 Mrs. J 459313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are supposed to get snow starting in the next hour or so. It has been raining all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-459295 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:05:51 +0000 Ash 459295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JamieLee: He barely made it home around noon-ish and all he did was come in to eat lunch and then he left. He went to stay at his brother's because our road and driveway are blown shut and he had to be back tonight and wouldn't have made it out (I wouldn't have minded that)! We're in eastern Iowa. They said our grand total is 12"+. What makes it even worse where we live is that we live in the boonies on a hill... so we get slammed. Hope your DH makes it back safely!!!!! :))</p> <p>@Jennimac: I hear ya!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-459229 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:15:06 +0000 singingbee 459229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said it before, but I couldn't live in a place that you get lots of snow. My mindset is that of a southern person. It snows, you stay home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-459208 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:03:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 459208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No snow for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-459202 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:00:21 +0000 JamieLee 459202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: People buy milk and bread if they're predicting 1"? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-459199 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:57:41 +0000 JamieLee 459199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: He came home, but left again...Is your hubby done plowing? Mine plows our private dirt road but not on any major roads. Last bad snowstorm we had, our plow truck got stuck probably 50 times! He plowed from 6 pm - 2 am, and then again from 7 am - noon. Hoping it's not that bad again! Where do you live? We're in northern Michigan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-458869 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:12:55 +0000 Ash 458869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I'll take rain over snow, trust me! This stuff is crazy! Our road is closed.<br /> @JamieLee: hope your hubby stays safe. so scary!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-458853 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:09:06 +0000 Ash 458853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once it calms down here, maybe I'll take a pic. But our blizzard warning is in effect until midnight. Booooooooo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-458840 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:03:02 +0000 JamieLee 458840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're supposed to get 10-12 inches today. What we do have so far is really wet and heavy though, which is way worse than 10-12 inches of light and fluffy! </p> <p>It's super windy right now, and I'm really worried we're going to lose power. We got 26 inches of wet snow back in March and lost power for a week. I'm hoping that doesn't happen again!</p> <p>My hubby is also working outside in the snow. I think he said he'd be shoveling today, and he drives from job to job, sometimes up to 40 miles between them, so I'm also worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-458532 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:29:18 +0000 loveisstrange 458532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting snow right now in St Louis! Its not really sticking though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-458510 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:20:54 +0000 Alivoo01 458510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovelife: That sucks your hubby has to work out in it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-458508 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:20:39 +0000 Alivoo01 458508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No snow here, but it was hella windy last night!! All my lawn equipment blew into my pool and my neighbor's trash cans were in the middle of the street. I love the snow though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-458498 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:17:13 +0000 BelugaBean 458498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So jealous! We lived in Minnesota for a year last year and were so excited about experiencing a real winter. And of course they had one of the lowest snow amounts ever. Now we live in NC and it was like 65 yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-is-getting-snow#post-458492 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:12:54 +0000 polkadots 458492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what we got last night/early morning! Its pretty out, but poor DH has to work outside in this stuff! </p> [attach=1826/12/mfcd9j.600x450.winter.JPG]
