bstaxes Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 The weather men predicted snow for our region (Northwest New Jersey). Got up this morning looking forward to white vision out the window. Somebody played a joke, the snow was green and brown, just like the grass and dirt before I went to bed. Weathermen with all their high tech instruments can't predict the weather. I can predict the weather better with which client is coming. Some clients always pick the snow to come for taxes. Hope most of you have shoveled out on the east coast. Quote
taxguy057 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Yeah I live in NC and we have gotten hit two weekends in a row! Not very good for biz as I pick up and drop off alot of clients info, but managed not to wreck on the slippery roads yet! Cross Fingers!!! :spaz: Quote

The best weather men are here in the Washington Area where salaries are better. lol. They predicted correctly this weekend. Quote
Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Do you mean that weather predictors actually get paid for those guesses? Quote
Diane Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Yes, our weather people did a good job of predicting this storm in the Maryland/DC area. My husband did dig out the front door and a back door path for the dog. With our cars buried along with everything else, we will be a few days before we are out and about. No mail today either.

ILLMAS Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 We always get snow here in Chicago plus extreme cold temperatures, but I am starting to despise it every year more and more. I used to love the snow as a child, but when traffic is moving at a snails pace I hate it. MAS Quote
Diane Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 A preliminary attempt to shovel out! Diane Quote
joelgilb Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Boy oh Boy Not missing snow since I left Chicago and moved to Vegas! Although I must say we are getting a lot of rain here. and its cold today, only 52! Amazing how your perspective changes Quote
jainen Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 >>I hate it<< Yeah, I know what you mean--I hate snow too. I always turn the channel when they show it on TV. Quote
Catherine Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 A preliminary attempt to shovel out! Diane That's amazing -- the snow deeper than the blower is tall! Today is the 32nd anniversary of the Blizzard of '78 here -- looks like you folks are getting the anniversary party, though! Stay safe & warm, dig out slow, and make a snow angel or two. Catherine Quote
kcjenkins Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 I heard a weatherman saying today that this winter was likely to be a replay of the 1978 weather pattern. It does seem to be so far, doesn't it? Quote
Diane Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 It has finally stopped snowing! They are saying that it's our biggest snow season ever. We had 24 inches in December, around 6 inches in January, another 4 inches last Saturday, and now this. And, they are predicting another several inches next week. I think I'll make a Bloody Mary! Then, try and finish the returns that are on my desk. Clients can't pick up, and I can't deliver. So, tomorrow should be good! Diane Quote

Diane About 15 inches here in Yardley, PA which is about 30 minutes Northeast of Philadelphia. The forecast is calling for more midweek. Quote
Jack from Ohio Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 14 inches total in SW Ohio. I VERY WELL remember '78! Today I spent two hours behind my snowblower to clear our 20 foot driveway and about 100 feet of sidewalk! Now just where is all that ice-pack-melting global warming that Al Gore so vehemently defends as being real?? Quote
Terry O Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 FINALLY - - -Buffalo did NOT get hammered with this one! 20 and sunny yesterday - - !!!! Quote
NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 We have had so much snow this winter in Omaha that the kids have had six snow days already. It's very unusual in the city. I can't imagine how many the small towns have missed. It is snowing again today. Our inflatable Christmas decorations have been buried for ages. I finally quit going and digging them out every day. I haven't seen this much snow since the 70's and I enjoyed it a lot more then. We have a huge eight foot high pile of snow at the end of our driveway that will probably be there until at least April. I swear I'm retiring to Florida. Bonnie Quote
Eric Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 A preliminary attempt to shovel out! Diane We've got lots of photos like this, and they all have one thing in common. The photos all have a grid pattern on them due to THE WINDOW SCREEN. Yes, all of these photos are taken from behind the living room window. Where it's warm. Where the quilt and hot chocolate are.

TAXMAN Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 South of Winchester vA 2 degrees this am 26 in of snow on top of seven we already had and more to come this week. Clients calling but with snow banks 7 to 15 ft high where to park? I now know why I want to move to southern AZ. Watch out for back muscles. Mind might be willing body says NO. Any way all have a great day. Quote
bstaxes Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Posted February 8, 2010 The last storm missed us but the weathermen are predicting another storm (northeaster) of 8-12 inches of snow for tuesday night into wednesday. Can't wait to see if they are right or wrong. Quote
kcjenkins Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 We've gotten another 4 inches overnight. Thankfully, all the earlier foot or better had melted before this one, so it should not stick around too long. But we don't normally get much snow, so we are not really set up to deal with it. Quote
GeneInAlabama Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 What is this thing called snow that you keep talking about? Quote
bstaxes Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Posted February 8, 2010 White fluffy dandruff from the skies. It blankets the earth in a pure white blanket, it can be very pretty. Mainly it is a pain in the a$$ to shovel and drive. It causes schools and businesses to be closed. It does melt sometime in July. It is fun if you are a child or like skiing. If you want some maybe we can send you some!!! Quote
