I am in the NE and have nothing. It's like there's a party out there, and I can hear the music but I haven't been invited. I don't want as much snow as you all seem to have but it sure would be nice to be included in these storms once in a while. :?

My sympathy to all of you that are snowed in. I live in eastern NC where it doesn't usually snow (just hurricanes in the summer) But this year we have had 3 snow events since Christmas. Nothing like the northeast. But when you live in an area not used to snow, snow is a big deal and I'm sick of the snow and cold weather. I guess that ground hog will be coming out soon to hopefully tell us spring is coming soon.

Ohio has not had as much snow as the NE but it is still too snowy or cold to go out side on some days. I have gotton a lot done since Christmas especially since my DH is still working out of town. Also like the too hot days in summer to stay in AC and sew. Oh by the way I am retired. LOL.

Do not welcome as have to get out to work, if not don't mind but they plow very well here so not usually snowed in for long, feel so fortunate that last storm missed capital district of NY. My thoughts are turning to spring quilting projects haha!

I live in the NE Corner of Pa. and the storms seem to miss us all the time. We get a dusting of snow now and then but nothing we have to shovel. I am retired so have been sewing a lot lately. Its very cold, most days are in the 20's and go down to 0* at night I am working on a lot of scrappy quilts right now.

We rarely get snow here in Mississippi, but have had 3 bouts of it starting with Christmas Day. Snow in an area where we aren't prepared for it is rather tricky. The snow was so pretty at Christmas-last White Christmas was 1963. Snow that followed, I could have done without. Got stuck in my drive one day, my yard the next. Auggggggghhhhhh I am retired though and its not a problem for me to stay in and sew. I'm trying to not wish my life away. I hear so many saying: I wish it was summer- it will be here soon enough, lets just enjoy each day that God sends us and rejoice in it!
