I kinda thought that "youse" and "youse guys" were distinct and desperate phrases?

Philly is "youse guys", I don't remember hearing "youse" without "guys".   Pittsburgh was/is "yins", Huntsville, Ala. was/is "y'all".   Don't remember what it was/is in the other places I've lived (Cincinnati, OH and West Palm Beach, FLA).

It must have been a foot or more over here.  But things have been cleaned up fairly well.  I was out on the roads once. 

I've seen people playing in the snow!

Plenty of school and college closings on Monday.

Grew up in West Palm Beach, Boca specifically, and we would say, 'sup.

Foot +. We're buried and it's still snowing. School's got cancelled, so at least that.

I’m seeing 80 degrees with a chance of improvisation.

 I’m still on a jazz cruise. 😀

I’m hearing that our area is getting close to two feet. I’ll have a lot of snow to clear when I get home.

You should stay on the cruise for another 2-3 weeks!

A bit of sleet, but we got out of our hilly subdivision outside Chattanooga yesterday without an issue. When a real storm hits, this area can be shut down for several days.

We have had about 13" in the last 24 hours, and I've attacked it with shovel three times, kept it to an accessible and exit-able status with effort. Actually, I confess it feels good. Now I have earned a break to listen.

I'm canceling another picnic in the side yard.

Nothing but ice, sleet and freezing rain that amounted to under an inch. The yard torch did the trick. I don't know if any of you have one of these but for shit like this it's literally the best tool for getting rid of it. No salty mix to mess with the dogs, no back breaking labor (because a shovel on ice sucks bad, real bad). Just attach the torch to a propane tank, put it on wheels and flame away.

And now the severe cold. 

I teach at a community college, and Tuesday will the be second day of cancelled classes.
