i live in england ive never seen good wether

One tornado when I was a kid. Only snow & ice storms for me now. First blizzard I ever got into was the blizzard of 93. Didn't know if I'd make it 25 miles back home.

A few hurricanes,blizzard,and a few tornadoes,but that's new york

live in Kansas, Oklahoma sucks and Nebraska blows.

We had a Nor'easter last week with winds so high that all the houses looked like igloos for all the snow stuck to them, first time I had seen that. The wind had the snow blowing so sideways that we couldn't tell how much accumulation we were getting but the dominant direction of the wind piled snow against the west side of my house. My kitchen door is at the top of three steps, I couldn't open the door and couldn't even see the shape of the steps! My neighbors had about 10 inches of snow in their yard when I had well over for feet against my house.

Not that this was such bad weather, just was amazed to learn how different the same storm can be due to the wind!

in november 1993, i was in a tornado. carried the car i was in down the road...watched several rooftops tear off and come right at the car before being thrown over the top of us. windows of buildings imploded...gas pumps shot in the air...the sky was purple and green and i felt like i was on a different world. very surreal.

when i got home, my house was fine, but the two across the street from me were completely missing.

had an ice storm here about ten years ago or so...trapped me in my house with no electricity or heat for several days. my two toddlers and i cuddled in my bed for warmth and ate spreadable cheese. two trees fell on my house.

that's pretty much it...we don't get too awful weather here.

I made a right instead of a left in the Fraser Canyon.
Driving a one ton moving van to my 100 acre recreational property in DECEMBER !
My vehicle got stuck in snow and I had to spend a cold night in it

Nothing but a bottle of scotch.

I remember praying all night, as it was too cold to sleep. Two angels driving a pick up truck woke me next morning.They said I was a lucky man. The local mill closed due to a strike and they were there only to go hunting. Otherwise, I would still be there next spring.

Now when someone tells me there is no God, I just laugh.

SNOW SNOW SNOW And more snow snow snow yes a big snow storm is heading to Canada from the states should be here soon lots ans lots of snow:))))))

WOWWWWWW YOU BEEN THROUGH A LOT THERE THERE THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE AND SORRY YOU BEEN THROUGH THAT GLAD YOUR Family SAFE THOU:) HUGSSSSSSSS

Well that is so true when wind blows it can make a snow storm seem double :) thanks for your response my friend

This past month, Connecticut has had 6 feet of snow. It normally averages just under 4 feet for a whole winter. On top of that, we actually had up to 32 inches in just 12 hours....on par with the storm I previously mentioned in this thread from my college days. The difference? Much lower winds and warmer temperatures thereby preventing drifts and other problems. Connecticut has never had this much snow within a 24 hour period, nor has it ever had this much in a single month! If we get 2 more snow storms within the next week and a half that drop a total of 2 feet, we will eclipse the seasonal record from 1995-6 in a single month, potentially making this the worst winter since the 1880s when 8 ft of unmelted snow was on the ground before record keeping began.

we just had powere restored here in Columbus ohio - it went out at about 1030pm last night and came back at about 245am - I'm thinking ice on the power lines but haven't heard anything official yet. but we had bad ice yesterday - rain & more freezing overnight

I haven't been out in more than 24hrs - rare for me

I live 100 miles NE of you(just south of Canton)and everything is iced over here too .. Had freezing rain all night and now the temp is 43...wind is picking up a lot.. no power outages yet and I have cabin fever already...

I experienced the Blizzard of '78 first hand. I had a week old baby, my grandfather passed away and we had to drive out of town for the funeral, just as it was arriving. I was stuck in the country, atop a hill, at the home of my in-laws for 2 weeks. My ex and his father had to walk 4 miles into town to get diapers for the baby, and my grandfather's funeral plans changed from being buried to being put into a wall vault because they could not dig.

That storm only dumped 16" in CT, not even enough to crack the top 5 biggest snowfalls....BUT, snowdrifts could be anywhere from 6 to 10 feet deep because of the wind. That's why I-95 was shut down....the snow was falling too fast and causing massive drifts under bridges and in areas with steep side banks. That storm was the first time I got stuck in the snow as a kid.....we had 5 ft drifts in my yard.

Permanently etched into my mind from that storm is Gerry Harris from Action News 8 standing in the middle of I-95 after it was shut down. At that point, the State plows had decided to try to sit the storm out because plowing was too dangerous.

I know what you mean. I just ran some errands this afternoon, but did my best to get home before dark because it look like the snow was starting again. Now it's stopped....who knows???

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather and that you had such a bad time them i feel for you hugsss my friend my deepest sympathy and yes you never know when nature strikes do we sometimes its at the worst times i hope you doing better now thanks for your comment

I live in northern MN... the 12 months of winter gets old!


Really though, I have a lot of funnel clouds & storm photos over the years only "been" in one tornado. Many blizzards, been stranded in the ditch when it was under 40 below waiting for my buddy to tow me out so my pa wouldnt know I skipped school that day...LOL

Fell through the frozen lake a few times and had to walk home with frozen jeans
