How deep is the snow Papa?
« on: January 26, 2015, 10:47:16 PM »
I  have been watching the network news and it looks like our members in the northeast US are about to get hammered by a blizzard of "epic" proportion.  Hope y'all are all safe and keep us posted.  Some pictures would even be nice,  you know we like pictures  :Jester:

Not much here in Philadelphia burbs.
The big snow is to begin around 10pm.
Steamer and the New England contingent may not shovel out until Cabin Fever

Best,
Stan

I am in the 20" TO 96" band on the weather channel!  At least this time we know we are going to get a lot of snow.  Back in '78 we were expecting some snow and got 48" in one storm.
On another note, a friend from a warm place wanted to make sure I had plenty of batteries and water.  30 years ago he would have asked if I had enough beer and chips.  Progress?

It was 80 degF here yesterday.  This morning it had dropped to 75 but was still hot in the sun.  Now a bit of storm has moved in from Mexico and we're getting a little warm rain.

Isn't winter a bitch?

Looks like it could be bad from the news. Don't think of it as the blizzard of 2015 though, think of it as extra shop time :) Seriously, stay warm and safe guys!

John...progress?? NOT!! Its called getting old(er) :)

For my location, the forecast has changed more then people change underwear.  I'm located where one of lines of delineation on the Storm Total map is. 

I'd wager that we will get around a foot or less here.  So we should dodge the bullet.

For those who get a direct hit,  I wish you all the best and that you don't lose power.

So what you are telling us Marv is that you are getting lots of quality shop time in and your toes are staying warm too!

Just a dusting here at ground zero!   Wind is just starting to perk up.....They're talking like 24"+...some saying 3 feet with 40-50 mph winds...and 12 F degrees outside.....NICE.

I have the generator ready....if we lose power...it's going to get pretty ugly around here.....

We'll see....gonna be up for a while...Complete driving ban in the State of Massachusetts as of midnight eastern time.

Here's some virtual warmth from my woodstove, loaded with compressed wood bricks and firewood:



Stay warm and safe, friends! I think we will be dodging the bullet here in MD, this time.

Good luck boys, keep warm and safe  :).

They keep talking about vicious snow flurries here in the UK  :headscratch: Two weeks ago I was laughing about it with one of my Scottish colleagues who had just flown down that morning from 2ft of snow at home. He said they way the TV was going on about the expected treacherous conditions "down south" he had been hopeful for us but no the only solitary snowflakes tried to make an appearance at about 10am and had long since melted before they reached the tropical ground conditions  :lolb:

It was 14.5 degrees C outside yesterday :ThumbsUp:. I had to open the workshop up to let in some of the heat
