All this snow....great

BabyNSR · January 2011

I live in the Kansas City area, and they are prediciting the worst snow storm in 50 years that will last for about three days. Anywhere between 12 and 16 inches, ice and blizzard conditions....I'm due Friday and 30 minutes from the hospital. Neat. Pray that DH doesn't have to end up delivering this baby! Hahaha....but seriously.....

Our snow plan consists of a sled and a dog...

We just have to cross a big field to get to the hospital tho, but that seriously is our plan. Last thursday we just got a foot of snow, which is not as bad as what you are talking about, but it is always good to have a snow plan!!

Wow! I am from Louisiana and we NEVER get snow. I can't imagine all that snow!! I hope all goes well and you are able to safely get to the hospital if need be.

That really sucks. I'm sorry. Do you have a 4wd vehicle? I know that having a 4wd Jeep definitely eases my mind of this happending. This is my biggest fear. Last year at the end of February we had a really bad snowstorm and I'm hoping there won't be a repeat performance since I am due at the end of February.

We are suppose to get anywhere from 20 - 30 cm of snow (that's around 12 inches for you American Bumpies!) and ice starting tomorrow lasting through until Thursday morning. The worst part apparently is going to be the wind blowing the stupid white stuff around. I am NOT looking forward to the next three days. Here's hoping LO doesn't decide to make an early appearance!

Yes, we have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, and an all wheel drive vehicle, but sometimes that just means you can maybe get out of the ditch you drove into.

Good luck over the next 3 days ladies! Hope everyone hangs on and can wait out what they are calling "The Groundhog Day Storm" up here!

I know.. here in IL last I heard they were calling about 2-3 in Per hour starting tonight and tomorrow (with wind and freezing rain.. oh how fun) We have 4 wheel truck.. but still thats alot of snow! I'm still a bit early.. So I'm hoping this will pass and baby will stay put.. but I do have a doc apt tomorrow morning..

I live in West MI and we're supposed to get around 10-18" of new snow between tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday night. (Plus it's supposed to be windy, so the snow will blow and drift, which is always great for driving.) I told DH to just watch, I'll go into labor during the worst part of it. (As soon as I found out my due date, I was like great, I'm sure we'll have a blizzard when I need to get to the hospital. The past few years we've had a huge snow storm or blizzard at the beginning of February.) I'm scheduled to have a repeat c-section on 2/8, so I'm hoping DD decides not to come before then. If she comes on time, we can take my parents' 4x4 suburban to the hospital if need be, since they'll be down to stay with DS. (We have an AWD Chevy Equinox, which is pretty good in the snow, but a big 4x4 is better!)

This is why I wanted another summer baby!

GL - hopefully your LO waits until the storm passes!

We also have a warning of 12 inches of snow plus at least one inch thick of ice on the ground, the snow doesn't freak me out as much as the ice does :-/ I have a doctor's appointment on Weds plus I have to work and I have a client scheduled to come in at 7:00a. I am really hoping that I am able to get around in the snow without too much difficulty and that they are overestimating this. Otherwise, I'm a little scared for both my and DH's commutes, as well as LO coming early! My mom has already said several times to me that she hopes he will wait until the storm is over so that she and my dad can get down here to be with us for the birth. As PP mentioned, just another reason (the weather plus all the illnesses I keep getting) are all reasons why my next will hopefully be a summer baby!

I'm in the Chicago area and we are already under a blizzard watch and my suburban area projected to get 18-20 inches! I grew up in Florida, and while I've been here for 7 years, this will be the worst storm I've seen. I'm due on Saturday and have already informed my boss that I will most definitely be working from home on Wednesday. I'm figuring with my luck, though, that will be the day I go into labor.

I am also considering teaching my dog how to pull me in a sled

I'm in NW Indiana and we're supposed to get 12-18 inches of snow between now and Wednesday and then more lake effect snow after that. I am being induced Wednesday morning at 7 am so it should be really interesting trying to get to the hospital. My FIL said he'll plow us a way there if he needs to! :oP

I thought about this though I'm not due for another 2 1/2 weeks...if worst comes to worst, you could always call an ambulance to come take you to the hospital.
