Well, looks like a chance Winter Storm watches are up for my area, for tomorrow night -Saturday. Looks like 6-10" is the forecast, although we don't normally ever get what they forecast, except for that Sandy storm thing, when I sit on arf all night saying it wasn't going to be bad, only to wake up the next morning in the dark, and 2 feet of snow outside.
I'll just go ahead and say it again, it won't be bad, I ain't worried Maybe it'll be a fun storm, instead of a big ol PITA |
|
Yes being your northern neighbor I wouldn't mind alittle snow either
|
|
you guys just got done with the last one.
Yanno they have forecast snow here and i have plans to travel all over the area (200 miles) on saturday. I have an order of cast bullets to pick up too. |
|
Well, I'm preparing for a downright blizzard this time. Currently it is raining, but wind is well up over 40mph, had to drive home holding the steering wheel slightly to the right to off set wind
Tomorrow is looking like temps in the 20's, maybe lower, winds up over 40mph, and heavy snow possible. Sounds like a fun time driving to work in the AM |
|
I hope so. I haven't drained the 2 stroke genny from the Sandy threat and I need an excuse to run it so the carb doesn't gum up
That and if we get a terrible blizzard on Saturday, I can close up shop and take a 4 day weekend instead of 3 Speed |

That is a PITA in the winter. I don't wanna have to dig out the wood stove again. Although my 3 new Dietz lanterns did come in, unfortunately I don't have any lamp oil yet |

They ain't sure of the timing in my neck of the woods, but they know it is coming.
Let 'er rip. The woodshed is full, the generator(s) are full, the freezers are full. I would prefer it wait until Tuesday, when my MIL gets on the big bird and flies home, but I am thinkin' she is gonna get her first taste of real weather in 20 years. |

Also, I'm in the mountains Well, PA is a state where they put an observation tower on top of the high point And the big ski area claims to have 700 vertical feet to ski. The lift lines at Heavenly or Squaw Valley have more vertical change than that. And Overscoped storm warning covers me too. One thing I am sure of is that the Mayans never even imagined snow. |

That and it's always easier to heat a place than to try and cool it off. If it got real bad, I could crawl into my down sleeping bag and go to sleep. If it's 100 F out with humidity, I just have to suffer I'll take cold and no power over hot and no power any day So, anybody else in the mid-atlantic see anything yet? We have some flurries so far...

Snowmaggedon has just started. There is a tenth of an inch on my sidewalk. I'll see your skit and raise you about 4" or so. Been snowing like all get out all day, white out conditions most of the time. No idea how much snow is out there, as the winds have been 40mph all day. I do know I have a 2' drift out back here by the house |

Brother and his wife are spending the night somewhere in Elkins. We were headed that way but we will probably go to Roanoke in the morning.

Brother and his wife are spending the night somewhere in Elkins. We were headed that way but we will probably go to Roanoke in the morning. Lets see, your down next to Lewisburg right?? Yeah, I would not come up this way at night, and have to cross those mountains on that road. The snow isn't really the bad part the 40mph winds driving it are. The further south you are the better you are. Go to VA, the sun is probably shining Still calling for 6-10", although like I said you can't tell as it is blowing like mad. I'll give a report when I decide to get up in the morning. Storm warning is through 2pm tomorrow, and is forecast to end tomorrow afternoon, although I normally expect a extra 6-12hrs of snow up here as it seems to hang in the mountains longer. |

Snow report:
I can still see the tops of my grass. My plans for today will happen. |

Still snowing pretty hard, wind seems to have died a bit, probably 6" or so in the yard, and drifts over a foot in places. This is just what I can see from the kitchen window, I haven't went outside yet

Just went up to the local market, main roads are just slushy, the secondary road I live on is packed snow/ice. Came the back way home, and those roads have not been plowed, but not very slick in my truck with 4x4, and good tires, and a good foot

Yes! It snowed Christmas Eve! We have a white Christmas this year!!!
