Re: Blizzard Buddies Unite!

  • Who is currently getting snowed in? I am snowed in with no SUV to be sure I will not get stuck. The city is doing a good job of plowing but I'm going to play it safe a little longer. 

    What are your plans for the day? As I am in the WTO side of things...I may just open up a nice bottle of wine and catch up on some DVR shows. 

    How much snow have you gotten so far? We are at 12.5 inches so far and calling more for today! 

    What're you eating? We just had eggs, bacon, and pancakes courtesy of the hubs...yummmm
  • Who is currently getting snowed in? I'm snowed in with the kitties and DH.

    What are your plans for the day? Hang some curtains (we just moved in last week) and then Netflix and Chill (figuratively and literally).

    How much snow have you gotten so far? Pictures welcome  I wanna say about 14 inches. They're saying maybe another 10-12.

    What're you eating? Everything. I actually went to bed feeling sick last night because we got a little too excited with the wine and junk food. I'm gonna try to be a little better today. H is making chili and we have everything to make grilled cheese and tomato soup. Not healthy by any means but a little bit better than the pizza/oreo party we had last night!

    Yay!  I'll play!

    Who is currently getting snowed in? I'm snowed in with DH and our pup.  I had a hard time getting used to winter in the suburbs last year - I was so used to being able to trudge to the bar with all my friends on a snow day.  But DH and I had a great day snowed in yesterday even after I got into a wee bitty bit of a car accident.  I went out for coffee with my work BFF and her wife in the morning and stayed out a little too long, and I ended up cracking the bumper on DH's car when I spun out on a highway on-ramp and skidded into a guard rail in slow motion.  It's not a bad crack and we won't even make an insurance claim on it.  But still, it's annoying.  Anyway, I've learned my lesson and will not go out again until the roads are safe.

    What are your plans for the day?  I've watched 3 episodes of Married at First Sight this morning (sorry not sorry.) and had two cups of coffee and a cookie.  I'm going to go upstairs and lift weights for a while, then make some brunch, and then we're going to go for a snowy mosey (a snowsey!) through the neighborhood.  We'll do some cooking later on today and maybe watch a movie or something.  Often when I get bored there is dancing and/or Scrabble.  Or dancing whilst playing Scrabble.

    How much snow have you gotten so far? Pictures welcome We have about 6 inches on the ground right now.  It seemed like a lot more last night, but I think the snow got smooshed down by all the ice we got overnight.  We're supposed to get 3-5 more inches today.  I'll try to comment again with pictures later after our snowsey!

    What're you eating? I made pancakes from scratch yesterday, NBD.  And then I got my tipsy Martha Stewart on in the evening and made some amazing chocolate chip cookies from scratch.  Today, DH is making a beef stew, which I will not eat, because I'm pescetarian.  I'll make him the aforementioned brunch after I work out (eggs and potatoes, I think) and then I'll probably snack intermittently throughout the rest of the day.  There are olives and there's cheese and that's pretty much all I need in this life.  This evening I want to steam up some artichokes that I bought the other day.  I think I'll probably whip up a fresh loaf of Italian bread tonight because I am a boss.

    Edited for weird formatting.

  • Can I play? No snow (yay PNW) but I was supposed to get a highly perishable package for my research yesterday. It was coming from Portland, Oregon and had to go through Memphis before it could get to me. The snow delayed the flight for so long that the perishables perished :( My entire day was wasted because I was obsessively checking FedEx for shipment updates or talking to FedEx, or driving to the FedEx depot.

    I'm doing homework and crafting today.

    I had a bagel, grapes and hot chocolate for breakfast.

    <b>Who is currently getting snowed in? </b>I'm snowed in with DH and the the mini fur-pup.

    <b>What are your plans for the day?</b> 
    We slept in, so now we are relaxing, watching ski videos and snuggling, plus apparently I'm bumping and checking emails.  Gotta shift gears to DH studying since he's going back to school for Engineering, and me working on the edits for our wedding video, which I don't know why I've been procrastinating on.  Probably because I want it to be PERFECT and nothing ever is. :/

    <b>How much snow have you gotten so far? Pictures welcome </b>It looked like a solid 8-10" when we got up this morning, and it doesn't show signs of stopping!  The hourly weather says, "BLIZZARD," here until 11PM... when it just switches to, "SNOW," overnight lol  They are predicting now close to 2' for NYC so we shall see!

    Here's what the pupper woke up to and he had to pee so bad he was thinking about jumping right in.  DH shoveled the deck off and was getting to the steps when he just took a flying leap!  lol SO BRAVE!  So that's where the pics get a little nutso, but it was fun.

    <b>What're you eating? </b> Made a yummy breakfast parfait with yogurt, blueberries, graham cracker and pecans, but pretty sure it's going to be all downhill from there.  We have steak strips cut up for fajitas/steak quesadillas, but @MRSCORKER grilled cheese and tomato soup sounds pretty fantastic, too!  <span>:D  Plus there's peanuts, tortilla chips and salsa, tin roof ice cream etc so we should be set ;)

  • Who is currently getting snowed in?
    I wouldn't say we are snowed in, but definitely not planning to leave the house.

    What are your plans for the day? Trying to start getting the house cleaned and organized since we are going to be listing it, but so far we've just been doing a lot of nothing.

    How much snow have you gotten so far? Pictures welcome :) About 5-6 inches, and I think it's mostly done here.

    What're you eating? I just put chili in the crock pot for later. I stocked up on snacks yesterday so probably just picking at those all day too.

  • Thanks @PennStateCait! Your doggie is cute too! Does he/she love the snow? Our little dog is the only family member who gets excited about the snow. Every time he goes out he goes crazy and comes in with snow all over his face from diving into it.
  • Who is currently getting snowed in? No snow here in North Texas. DS and I would love to be snowed in. So would our German Shepherd. I love the pics - remind me of growing up in Illinois. :)

    What are your plans for the day? I have to go into the office.



    How much snow have you gotten so far? Not a flake. It's sunny but cold. And by cold, I mean not quite freezing lol.

    What're you eating: nothing special planned.

  • @rkstro2 Our pup loves the snow too! She's obsessed with it! She loves eating it and attacking it. She keeps looking out the window and crying to go out but since we live in a high-rise we don't have a yard.

  • Lol @PennStateCait I don't understand the dog obsession with snow! Dude it's cold out there! Why do you want to keep going out? I guess since we have so much snow here we could just leave him out bc he's not big enough to get past what we've shoveled out for him but he might freeze.
  • @MRSCORKER Your comment basically turned me into a human heart-eyes emoji.
  • @rkstro2 and @PennStateCait HAHA your dogs sound awesome.  My puny little wimp dog is horrified by the snow.  We had to drag her outside to do her business today because she would rather hold it all day and fart everywhere than go outside to poop in the snow.

    @LadyMillil
    So they had the package leave the PNW, to go through a predicted snowstorm, just to get BACK to the PNW?! Fail fed ex fail. Sorry about your perishables!!

    Eta everyone be super safe!!! Sorry bout your bumper @LINDSEYRVA !!

    Also to add... That all this food sounds super yummy ladies :)

  • I'm a little jealous. I'm in MN and we really haven't had that much snow, just really really cold until now. I would like an excuse to stay in the house. 

    @rkstro2 your house is adorable!
  • I'm snowed in with my 2 doggies in Philly!

    My H made it to work at 5 am "with ease" he says. Good old Jeeps. So I'm alone all day and am currently on the couch catching up on Vanderpump Rules and other awful reality TV. Oh and I'm blasting the volume because the girls who live above us have transitioned their apt to a club and I feel like I'm in it with them. I appreciate that they're trying to have a fun drunken partying snow day but it's like this everyyyy weekend. I never heard the people who lived there before them and I never hear any other neighbors so they have to really be trying to be obnoxious. At this point I'm daydreaming of knocking on their door and being like



    In other news, we are at 17" and counting!

    And I'm making myself some grilled cheese for lunch. Nom nom.
  • Who is currently getting snowed in? Me and DH! 

    What are your plans for the day? Couch, pjs, snuggle, tv/netflix, all the wine

    How much snow have you gotten so far? Pictures welcome  I am not exactly sure - maybe 6 inches so far? But it's enough that I can barely see anything outside of my window (normally I have a pretty good view of the city since I'm high up), the people look like they're really struggling to walk, and a ban on all non-emergency vehicles on the streets has just been instituted. Something tells me the worst may be yet to come? 

    What're you eating? So much good stuff - DH picked up delicious salmon/lox/bagels/cream cheese for breakfast on his way home from work (overnight call at the hospital) and I stocked up on all sorts of soups, chicken, snacks, etc. Nom, nom, nom.....

  • I don't think I count, but I want to play!

    Who is currently getting snowed in?
    I'm not snowed in, but in the north Atlanta suburbs, we shut everything down over one snow flake. The one time we didn't, well, Snowmageddon. I'm sure everyone is familiar with that joke (which really isn't a joking matter. DH spent the night in a bar. Dad walked miles in a suit on interstate to then spend the night In a random ladies van, without gas/heat, on the roadside). Therefore, we are stuck at home because there is nowhere to go!

    What are your plans for the day?
    I went on a giant grocery trip yesterday (so did everyone else - thank you "blizzard") and just spent a couple hours putting together 20 crock pot meals to freeze. Boy does that feel good! Now I'll finish 'Making a Murderer' while DH and DS play ninja or something equally boy (read: I don't want to get hit in the face by a nerf dart. Or be tackled. Count me out.)

    How much snow have you gotten so far? Pictures welcome :)
    A dusting and black ice. Just enough to spread end of the world fear across these southern back woods. I do love it here though!

    What're you eating?
    BBQ pulled pork in the crock. Beer until then!

  • I am so insanely jealous of all of these pictures! There is something so amazing about a snow day!
    Out of solidarity, I am spending my Southern California day on the couch watching Man in the High Castle with a pot roast in the crock pot!
    Please keep the pictures coming so I can live vicariously through you all! I will take a walk to the beach later in all of your honor.

  • @furbabymom2007 that was way harsh, Tai.
  • @kirby1220 whaaaaat?!?! We are twinsies!!! When is YOUR birthday!? Please say May 23rd.

    For dinner we had filet mignon and sweet corn tamale cakes. I burnt my hands on the cast-iron pan so that was super fun. I do have some brownies I'm planning to make that I totally forgot about though... might have to make those later tonight.
