NorthEast Blizzard

I miss the Snow, until I don't, lol. Living in Ga for almost 29 years we rarely see any snow worth mentioning. Maybe 3-4 times in the last 29 years, 5 at the most in the greater Atlanta area. I do remember a lot of snow growing up in Jersey my first 30 years, and the hazards that come with it. Stay safe everyone.

In 1988 or 1989 I was in Augusta working at Plant Vogtle over by Waynesboro. A 3-inch snowfall shutdown the jobsite for 4 days.

That's the gist of it. They've shut down due to ice or potential of snow. But if it snows 3/4" or more, usually everything shuts down.

Yikes! I’m whining like a little girl because its 37 degrees and the wind is blowing like crazy here in Mississippi. You northerners stay warm and safe. now where did I leave my heavy blankey?

yeah the poconos are supposed to get hit the worst, bushkill is about an hour south of me.

I'll be in Bushkill for two weeks of trout fishing May-June.
Damned happy I'm down here in Alabama right now, it might gonna be mid 20s tomorrow morning but no blizzard.

I'm just happy someone else is getting hammered with that white crap instead of us for once! Eerrr I mean enjoy a few days off work.

Oh man bear good luck. We moved to Michigan’s upper peninsula from Hawaii. My wife is from Michigan and I’m from Ohio so we’re use to snow but we were worried about moving way up north after being in Hawaii for 3 years and it has been a very mild/easy winter so far. I’m still waiting for the worst!

 

[Fueling Around]

Hope you get through it.

No snow here

I'm in the lower Hudson Valley of NY and we got about +/- 2 feet. It's about 8am here as I type this and it's still snowing lightly. It's funny, in 36 years of working, 34 in law enforcement, I never missed a single day of work due to the weather. I really appreciate being retired now and not having to go in to work.
PS: It's looking like we have another storm coming our way this coming weekend, too.

Measured last night an had 10". After a night of snowing & blowing it's anywhere from grass showing to 3' drifts. First day off work an I have to spend it moving snow that will blow back in. Hope the 4 wheeler can handle the drifts.

Well, we got through another night.
We Had 24" when I went to bed last night @ around 10PM.
Now it's @ about 28", with another 2" expected.
Bear Jr was out last night, with his Ram & Boss V-plow, but he was having a harder time than usual, due to Ice on the bottom of the 2 feet of snow.
He said he'll be back today to get it better. He said he might have to call his other Truck & plow back from his other shop, so it can come in from the road end of our driveway. When the snow is deep & the bottom is ice he can't plow the hill from his house to mine, because he can't plow deep snow uphill, without chains on.
He'll get it ---he always does. The other guy can come in & plow down hill the first time. Then they can go both ways after that initial swipe.
I used to get all of mine with my Old Gravely with 42" blower, but I can't do that crap any more, so it's all up to Bear Jr. It will be easier for him in daylight than it was during the night.

Meanwhile My Hybrid Heat pump is running 100% on Propane, because the outdoor unit is packed with snow around the fan blade. The heat pump won't run until it gets up to 34° anyway, so we're heating with Propane for awhile.

Got more Snow coming Friday & Sunday, just before the Sub-Zero days they are calling for!!

Gee, that all sounds like it'd be awfully cold! Going to be 80º with a slight breeze here today, shorts and flip-flops. I really do love it here! RAY

Bear, stay safe. Sounds like you got the worst of it. Glad Bear Jr. is there to help.
Chile, you got that much in Alabama? Wow.

You Rascal !!!
I could use some of that 80° stuff for a couple weeks, to get rid of this 3' blanket of White!!
However you can keep the 116° degree days.

Shorts & Bare Feet------I dress like that every day, but it's about 72° on my recliner 24-7-365.
