But hey, it's only predicted to be 6-11 inches.
1-3 more inches on Friday, won't get above freezing the entire time.
I hate the Midwest.
Edit: There's been an update! Now I'm in that tannish yellow band. Hoo-fucking-ray.
I wish you could send some of your snow over here. I love the stuff, and I usually have to drive to the mountains to get to it.
You can have it.
Gather snow, mix with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla or peppermint extract, get snow ice cream. I like it!
Every snowflake is formed around a piece of dust or pollen. The dust could be anything. That doesn't sound like the most healthy of things to eat.
It's definitely not safe to drink rain water any longer.

Don’t ever move to a lake effect snow area… I miss those nights when multiple feet fell on us in upstate NY and the world was completely transformed. Outside sounds like an anechoic chamber from all the fat snowflakes absorbing all the sound; the crunch underfoot being the only thing you hear. Shoveling out the driveway to go rip e-brakes in the snow covered parking lots. Winter without snow is a half assed experience.
Ice can fuck right off though.
Why did you say don't move there? It sounds like you liked it.
Because OP hates snow. I like it, 25 hours of snow sounds like proper winter to me.
That region of Indiana is close enough to the Great Lakes that they do affect the weather there.
Here's a lake effect snowfall map for the US. Indiana does get some, but for reference, I'm talking about the red (96-150 in / 244-381 cm) and deep red areas of upstate NY. It's a whole different kind of snow when that stuff starts falling hard.
Scenes that look like this are peak winter IMO. It's an alien landscape. Everything is so clean and quiet.
This sounds amazing.
Was honestly thinking the same thing
I'm getting highs in the teens and no snow. I'd like to at least get some snow to go with the cold.
Just gotta shovel mid-storm so that you don't have too much snow to remove in one go.
Thankfully, we have a weird old neighbor who has a riding mower that's also a snow plow and he likes to ride on it, so he always does our yard because it's fun for him. He also takes any big branches that fall in our yard (the house was built without disturbing the gigantic old oak trees that surround it) because, in his words, "I like to burn things." Thankfully, he appears to keep that restricted to an oil drum in his yard.
I like my weird old neighbor.
I mean... If I could afford a riding lawnmower that would be me. I want to at some point find a broken washer to rip the drum out of. They make good fire pits for really big fires.
It's worse in the southeast. If we get snow, it ends up partially melting and refreezing into ice which then shuts everything down. Then we have to live through the "you don't know how to drive in snow" when the snow is now a slick sheet that no plow can remove. The more we can miss out on that, the better.
We're supposed to get ice, so I fully expect we'll lose power at some point today. :(
It could be worse. You could be just far enough south that you're not going to get any at all ☹️
I still think groening lied. I look at shelbyville in indiana, all the nuke plants in illinois, and how capital city seems so much like saint louis. And how so gosh darn midwest it feels. I swear its springfield illinois
It's not his fault. He's from the PNW. He doesn't know.
Why do people live in places where is snows so much. You guys are crazy.
Because its better than living where the sun tries to kill you?
In America the choices are snow ruins your life, sun ruins your life, or the Great Plains (the Great Plains have both plus tornadoes)
I live in the middle zone. If you don't mind the high elevation and dry air it isn't bad.
I didn't really have a a huge amount of choice in the matter, but let's just say it has made my wife a lot happier than living in L.A.
That said, we hopefully won't be here much longer.
LA is trash so that makes sense
I had an acquaintance out here in California who eventually moved back to the Midwest. He wasn't happy that he couldn't get a good hot dog out here, which I suppose is kinda true.
Did he not go to Pink's and wait 2 hours for a mediocre hot dog?!
As someone that hates the cold weather, this looks way beyond mildly infuriating.
I spent 10 years in L.A.
Lack of cold weather was one of the few things I miss about it.
Thats what Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead are for
Not this year. We need snow. Hell I'll settle for rain at this point.
I was happy looking at the snow on the mountains in the distance.
