youngestof9 Posted February 10, 2014 #26 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Ditto! I've never been a winter fan, but living here in NY I have no choice. I'm so so sick of it. And I have no cruise til a quickie in December. And I have no summer vacation plans. And the hubs works for the power company, so he's never home with this weather. wah wah wah I'm whining big time. Passing the time looking at my pics from Epic this time last year. Ahhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybiker4life Posted February 10, 2014 #27 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I am the same way. Counting the days till the end of April. We are truck drivers, running Florida to Canada. I have seen enough snow and cold to last for a while. So ready to sit back with a cool drink in my hand and leave the driving ;) to someone else.

kcwingwalker Posted February 10, 2014 #28 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's snowing. Again. Another big storm forecasted for Wed into Thursday. This has got to be the longest winter we have had in the northeast in a long time. I am so ready for my cruise in April .... I wish it was now!! So understand how hard it is to wait until April. I grew up in New England and do not miss the winter. This year has been one of the worst for the East that I can remember. We live in the south and right now I'm looking at hail and light snow. No one goes to work or school and anyone with a brain stays off the road. Plumbers are raking it in this year. Lost my hot water heater because it's in the garage and that's a repair that has to be done immediately as water is spewing all over so overtime for plumber and $$$ from me. DD and SIL have a rental home here and the pipes burst. Many $$$ on that one! This has been a b*tch of winter for everyone and we all need a cruise ASAP. So NCL bring a ship into NOLA this afternoon and I'll be on it until this weather is over:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsnanny Posted February 10, 2014 #29 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi, also in Northern NJ and we did get away on the Breakaway. Got home to a gazebo on our deck mangled, along with our outside heater and the gazebo ceiling fan, about 2 K in damage. That was after we dug 5 cars out of the ice skating rink in our driveway.

Egads! Nothing like that to make you wanna turn right around and get right back on the boat! Glad to see you have other cruises coming up. Hopefully all this winter weather will be done soon.

getaway4fun Posted February 11, 2014 #34 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Totally ready for our cruise and between you and me, I think my countdown clock is broken because it doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. :) We are expecting more snow on Wednesday and Thursday and the only people raking it in around here are the grocery stores! Just returned from going to the grocer on my normal shopping day (silly me!) and stood in line for over an hour. We are only supposed to get 5 inches, but around here that is like getting 5 feet. All of our family in Ohio laugh at our wild traffic and weather stories! To all: stay warm, be safe and have wonderful cruising dreams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCAT48 Posted February 11, 2014 #36 Share Posted February 11, 2014 looks like another big storm is on its way! :( I wish it would just be done with already....i need beach and a margarita! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcwingwalker Posted February 11, 2014 #37 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Another ice storm coming overnight:eek: This is the winter that never ends.............trying to be patient but it's getting harder! My azaleas are already looking bad and the ice will finish them. Combined with drought and then ice most of my landscaping is in bad shape. I'm not much of a gardener so will be looking for tough low maintenance plants. But on a positive note I will eat something yummy dinner and keep my fingers crossed that we don't loss power. Just keep thinking that I'll be cruising in 53 days! Edited February 11, 2014 by kcwingwalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasinoCruzGirl Posted February 11, 2014 #38 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I can't take it either this has got to be the worst winter I can remember in many years I'm here in New Jersey so far this winter we have 45 inches and it's packed like ice outside. Expecting another 6 to 12 inches on Thursday. I have a flight out to Vegas for a week just to warm up a little bit on Friday I looked at the forecast and it's going to be 80° all of next week yippee. Then my countdown begins for March 23 it can't come fast enough but at least I'll be in Vegas for some warm air and no snow!!!!

B6ConMe Posted February 11, 2014 #39 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Another ice storm coming overnight:eek: This is the winter that never ends.............trying to be patient but it's getting harder! Just keep thinking that I'll be cruising in 53 days! Yes, another storm, :eek: we're leaving tomorrow for southern Texas (not a cruise, sniff, sniff) but at least a getaway, and already received notice that our flight may be cancelled or, at the very least, delayed. Hope you have a wonderful dinner and just around the corner, a wonderful cruise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Cruisers Posted February 11, 2014 #44 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I say let it snow. Another 6 to 12 Thursday. I don't play in it, but I do work in it. I feel the more uncomfortable and inconvienienced I am now, the more I will enjoy Bermuda in June. I do say no ice storms, they are the worse. Not much for ice storms this winter, it has been way to cold. Lots of frozen pipes this year, the frost is deeper than normal. 107 days to Bermuda on the DAWN!!!!

Rare mking8288 Posted February 11, 2014 #45 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Car wash owners are signing the blues, too darn cold to go to. Tow trucks & body shops are dancing to the cold. Tire shops are seeing the financial results of the potholes. All of the local Home Depots are telling the truth. "No Salt" but come back soon. We will somehow make it thru - our SUV fuel tank is at least "full" But, who's going to clean the sidewalk while we are on a cruise. ;) :) :eek: Hell with it, we are going to Shabu Shabu Edited February 11, 2014 by mking8288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find salt anywhere and the darn pile at the edge of my driveway is almost as tall as I am LOL I'm laughing but it's really not funny. I don't know where they are going to put it all if we really do get the 20+ inches they are saying. Our schools get 1 more snow day, which will be Thursday, and then they start taking away from spring break. I am beyond done!!! I am never, ever going to complain about how hot it is in the summer again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
