Geoff Grace Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 how about this I'll pay you $50 to sweat profusely just packing your car, drive 2 hours in a non airconditioned car, while the tar on the road is sizzling,play under intense lights , load out at 1 AM hot enough to swim in a pool, drive home and your radiator boils, because you had been loosing water on the way up, not sleep because its too darn hot, and get up in the morning because the wife says its time to perform at her sisters pool party in the hot steel roofed shelter. Wait, are you in Australia or Arizona? That sure sounds like my old life in Phoenix. You forgot the part about having to take two or three stabs at opening the car door because the door knob is too hot to touch; and if you're lucky enough to have air conditioning in your car, you direct it at the steering wheel for a few minutes before you start to drive just so you can hold onto the thing.

ProfD Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 So far it been snowing here about 5 hours; no sticking to the pavement and barely any on the grass. This sucks - I want a refund. I've been calling this "storm" a hoax since I first heard about it. I believe it was an effort to boost grocery store sales. A quick scan of parking lots confirms success in that regard. In fact, the stores were so packed, they were thinking about bringing in DJs to entertain the crowd. No bands. Just kidding about the 'live' entertainment. I hope the blizzard is real. It would be a d*mn shame otherwise considering the preparation folks went through to hibernate. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

theGman Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 In Shenandoah Valley of Va. we average here 19"; so far, 50" PLUS this storm forecasted 2 feet or so. WTF? This will be approaching 4 years of snow in 7 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I've heard of snow, but I'm not sure it actually exists. Jeff, it's that white stuff covering the mountain peaks off in the distance. You probably can't see it from your neighborhood, but I'm sure you've spotted it while driving around town. I actually, can, Geoff. I have a pretty clear shot to the east from my place, on top of a little hill here in Redondo. I just thought someone painted the mountaintops white for a movie set or something.

ProfD Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 So, here we are a few hours later and there is about 3-4" on the ground. The snow is still falling at a steady clip, becoming more intense at some point and continuing into tomorrow evening. Yea, though I see with mine eyes, I still refuse to believe accumulation will be 20-24". Stay tuned...I should probably go outside and shovel the walkway for the first time of a few trips.

RichieP_MechE Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 We're around 4ish inches out in the greater Pittsburgh area. Some of my buddies and I were actually going to head down to the DC area to visit one of our friends who recently moved there, but this snowmageddon has forced us to cancel the trip.

NoahZark Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The white stuff is coming down hard now! It's like a scene out of Scarface out there. Forecast says accumulations of 2" per hour for the next several hours. My wife and I went out every hour or so tonight to try to stay ahead of the shoveling a bit, and we've probably shoveled 6-8" so far. That's gonna be a drop in the bucket before it's all over. We also lost power briefly tonight, which really bummed me out, because I thought it might be out for days. Thankfully, it's back on....at least for now.

Markyboard Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I did one pass with the snowblower last night (thankfully) clearing about 6-8 inches and again this morning (probably another 8 inches). My neighbor got stuck turning into our development last night coming home from the Caps game and we spent 30 minutes trying to get him to his house. Ended up clearing a spot to park and helped push him in. At least the Caps won. We also lost power briefly tonight, which really bummed me out, because I thought it might be out for days. Thankfully, it's back on....at least for now. Noah Yep this is a blast unless we lose power. Then I'll be hating life. So far so good. Glad yours got turned back on Noah.

BP3 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 20"- 28" around my house and over 36" where the plow piled stuff up. We're looking at another 8"-10" before it's all done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Go Caps. Watched it on cable. You have a little more than us in the Valley; 16 inches of new crap on top of the 12 already there from the past 7 days. "They" say we have 10+ more today. Yar....

ProfD Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 They were right. It wasn't a hoax to sell more bread. There is at least 2 feet of snow on ground in my area. The drifts and shoveled piles are higher. First round of shoveling done. I'll make another pass and test the roads tomorrow.

Cliffk Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Wow, we've been seeing the snow conditions on the US east coast on TV, which this seems pretty extreme.

NoahZark Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'm so done with the snow it ain't funny! Tonight I woke up to a sound of dripping in my bathroom. My window is leaking from the top of its frame, undoubtedly the result of an ice damming problem on the back side of my house (where I've got a helluva icicle display going on). And if it's coming in through the top of the window, I can only imagine what's happening behind the walls! Ugh. Any of you guys who live in the colder, snowier climates have advice on how to deal with this issue before my house falls apart? Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie b Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Noah, You are up awfully early this morning. Let me guess... you need to gas up the snowmobile. Due to all this snow I'm pulling midnight shifts at our emergency operations center. Right now things are pretty quiet. Hope it stays that way!! http://www.suggestingrhythm.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
