Yup, I'm at ground-zero. 26" of snow, 40-50 MPH winds, reported at 11AM. Still windy and snowy, and the street my car is parked on has about a foot of snow on it (hasn't been snowed since last night). Water froze fo a while yesterday, and the furnace conked out for this morning. Both are working now though!

Here are some photos from today: http://mikec.123mail.org/Blizzard!

Those in warmer climes, show your children these photos so they know what real snow looks like. [Smile]

*giggle* I did, and my daughter was greatly relieved to know that no one was IN those cars.

I thought this was ganna be a thread about WoW.

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

that last picture is why every town around here totally bans street parking as soon as snowfall hits two inches.... I would so hate to be one of those owners....

Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :

The one in front is mine [Smile]

We have no choice, my town is one of the most densely populated in the US, there isn't enough public parking, and most of the houses are 2/3 families with only one or two driveway spots.

We ARE in a parking ban, but that just means no one can park on the odd-numbered side of the street.

Oh, and I could see the images with dial-up.

Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :

Wow, that's a lot of snow! Where do you live?

(And, yeah, it takes a while to load on dial-up, but when you have dial-up, you get used to that, and do something else while you're waiting. [Smile]

edit again: see other post for link [Smile]

Just some pictures I took out the window, the wind is ridiculous here. I might take more pictures when I'm forced to go outside for foodal reasons.

edit: forgot a letter.

Fyre: forbidden to view images. [Frown]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Yowza.

Myr, your pics come up "not authorized to view this page" -- but refreshing gets the picture each time. [Dont Know]

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Refresh isn't working on this side, using IE.

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

That cause when I edited I also moved the photos to a different album, so you probably clicked on them after I moved them and before I changed the link?

Glad you can see them now though [Smile]

edit: haha, now i cant see them. Weird. Go to the last three pictures in this album: http://community.webshots.com/album/199640646fYYddo/2

Weird. I'm also using IE.

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

The site is set up to block external linking. Depending on your setup, when you refresh it may think its like you copy/pasted the link, which is allowed.

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Good to know. Does the album link work?

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Works great for me. [Smile]

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Cool [Smile]

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Hey Bok....did you see this?

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Ah, now that we have an album link, I can see... Webshots is obnoxious that way...
