Wow, sure is pretty. I haven't seen that stuff in a quarter century in person.

[McSmokey]

Pretty Pretty Snow :) Too bad that doesn't happen around here much

[BigFrank]

I woke up and drove in the storm. Had to test out the Jeep a little bit.

[RightAJ]

Not a ton yet, but it looks like we're on the way to at least a foot today... Yay I love snow!!

[Commander Quan]

I think that it's pretty awesome that for once everyone else has gotten snow before we have in Cleveland

Dave,
Just heard upwards of 20" headed your way.
Better you than me.
I don't know what I would do. I don't even own a coat anymore.:r

Best of luck y'all! We're heading that way Sunday, altho we decided to make it a two day trip- spend a night in WV/MD border area. Hopefully by Monday early pm the roads in DC area will be ok.

At least call it brunch! :r

I'm guessing about 9" here, and they are saying the heavy stuff will be later! Expecting 18-24 according to the local news.

Still getting pounded here. Just went outside with the boy to clear the cars off again.

[Don Fernando]

What is that stuff?

Plume, Dave has a garden of plume

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Ill get some up soon. We have a lot of wind here in my area.

[SNKBYT]

looks pretty but don't miss it one little bit

[XTRazzer]

Doesn't Virginia declare some sort of emergency with that much snow?

Got a dusting in Ohio, mostly that rain-ice-snow mix so it's a pain of another variety.

[kydsid]

It is always nice to see the east coast turned into Alaska.

[Mark C]

Doesn't Virginia declare some sort of emergency with that much snow?

Probably. Maryland has declared a state of emergency. I've got about 20" outside, still going strong. Good news is that I've got enough rum in the house to stay warm for a month, bad news is I've got no place to smoke...

[JE3146]

Nothing but rain here :(

I had alot of fun during the snowstorm last year running around in the Jeep Wrangler 4x4.

Minus the narrow wheelbase and the ruts on the main roads... that was a recipe for spinouts.

[Tuxguy]

I had to work in it today here but we only had about 3 inches. I was going to take some pictures when I was up on some telephone poles but it was cold as sh!t and I just wanted down

[Random Guy]

Lots of snow!

Well that doesn't look fun at all Dave. Went through that a week ago and I'm already looking forward for winter to be done with.

[68TriShield]

Time for a cigar on the porch Ron? :D

[SNKBYT]

this is why I live here in FL

[RGD.]

My generator just a tad bit buried - needed to clear the intakes and exhaust just in case it's needed. Plus the weekly test is scheduled for tomorrow.

You see I got a path cleared! Actually - f**k that - I got my nice warm office to smoke away in and watch the snow out the window!

Holy cow. Stay warm and safe guys.

[TFULLERY]

Not ever an hour away got 6" we got nothing but cold cold rain:td:(

[White97Jimmy]

Sitting in a hotel on the West side of MI. They have a few inches here, nothing that we aren't already used to. I dunno what they got in Detroit, probably just a dusting.

As for the snow...bring it on. I now have a 3 car garage where my summer ride is comfortably resting for the winter and a new snowblower that needs to be tested out. :D

You're a wise man, Brother. ;)

I've got a sis-in-law who was supposed to fly out of LaGuardia tomorrow. That ain't happening.

[Don Fernando]

It may not be as much as some of you guys had, but this is the first time that we've seen snow in december since 1981. We usually get some late january or early/mid february. This is promising to be a long cold winter

Hey uh Gerard,how can she say that if you are "nice and warm inside"? :confused:

[Rabidsquirrel]

It's still bloody snowing here. Somewhere around 16 inches is my guess.

[Smokin Gator]

Stay safe folks... and thanks for sharing the pics. I know I don't want any of that action, but I do like seeing the pics.

[Whee]

Hey uh Gerard,how can she say that if you are "nice and warm inside"? :confused:

Dave, if he was outside where it was cold, it wouldn't be 8.5".

"There was shrinkage!!":r

[MarioF]

We ended up with a hair over 20". Are street is usually the last to be plowed but all the main roads are passable.

Ron

I have been thinking about generators like that one, obviously for hurricane power loss NOT snow. Had it long Ron? I believe that could power the whole house.

[Rabidsquirrel]

We nearly got more snow in this storm than we did all of last year. :banger I can't remember when we had over a foot of snow fall in one storm.

[goalie204]

Wussys :D :P :P :D

[Mugen910]

only got about 5-6 inches of snow here...barely anything stayed on the trees but the gf did make some cookies :D

Going on two years soon. It's a 17KW model - and yes it will run a whole house. Can you turn on everything in the house? No. But it will run a 3ton AC unit in addition to most normal items in a house being on.

It runs on natural gas and comes with the jets to use propane if needed.

Be glad to answer any questions about it. I went with the Kohler model over the other popular and less expensive models sold widely due to how quiet this thing is. With the lid shut and running you can't hear it from inside the house. It sits right outside my office and if I have the window open and nothing else on like the TV or music - then I can hear it - barely.

Pete,
That is the way to go. Natural gas or propane, not gasoline as many are in Florida.
I priced them out down here a few years ago and could do my house with one that would cost me $5K back then. Not sure at all what prices are now but would imagine they have dropped post the surge due to the 2004/2005 storms.

Despite living in South Florida I will have some pictures to post very soon. Why? Because I was in New York City. Our flight was cancelled Saturday evening obviously, but we got out Sunday afternoon. Another night in a suite at the Waldorf, what a shame :D We had fun playing in the fresh snow in Central Park Sunday morning with the locals.

Last night:

[Prospector]

We were in Norfolk for my wife's graduation during the storm - nothing but wind and rain there, thankfully. Still, I'm glad to be back home in AZ today. We moved here to get away from that chit, and being there was just too close for comfort.

That's what I'm talkin' about right there!! :tu

[Sauer Grapes]

Ready for round #2?

[kaisersozei]

Round #3 for us, and it's already started today...

[MarioF]

It's been snowing for about 2 hours here in Bethesda but it's just now starting to stick a little. It just feels like it's going to snow a ton. Everybody stay safe and enjoy 3-4 cigars!!

[Sauer Grapes]

Is it crazy that I want to sit outside and have a cigar? I think I'd freeze though.

I was lucky to make it home the last time I was there back on December 5th. Northbound 270 was completely closed at 3 separate locations as I drove on southbound. Southbound did have several icy spots, but no crashes that I saw during my trip.

Ron has new tires :D

[Sauer Grapes]

Hmmm...

Wife and I have a lot of cleaning to do to have people over on Sunday evening. I'm game though if I can make time and Ron doesn't mind making the drive that will probably end up being two hours.

[Rabidsquirrel]

About to go work on the snow blower now before we get any snow.

[RevSmoke]

I think this is funny. Virginia, MD, and such places have had more snow (even Texas and Oklahoma) than we have up here in Northwoods of Wisconsin.

Someone should explain this all to the inventor of the internet and global warming.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[BigFrank]

More snow, going to enjoy a nice cigar tomorrow in the snow with my boys. I hope fellow east coasters are staying warm and safe.

[BigFrank]

Just got back inside from playing in the snow with my oldest son. I didnt get a measurement as the snow is still falling. But 3 feet would be a low ball number easily.

[hotreds]

Seth, did you man "locos" or locals?:D

local locos!

[Sauer Grapes]

Dave,

it doesn't look like you guys got much more than us so far. Still falling though. I say we got less than a foot and a half here so far. Drifts much higher though. Damn power is out, but wife and I went for a walk, right down the middle of the street.

Better save my phone battery now.

[secretsquirrel]

We Got about a foot that a good amount for around cincinnati area

[Rabidsquirrel]

About 15 inches here so far.

[Ratters]

Hey, we had almost a quarter inch of rain last night. I think the temp even dropped to the upper forties. Whew.

[n3uka]

As I was about to head out to shovel, 3 guys knocked on the door to ask if I wanted them to do it. Best $50 I spent all week. Dam corner house. 250' of sidewalk can be a pain.

Snow plow was nice to put a 5' wall of snow in front of blazer

Posted via Mobile Device

[SNKBYT]

thought you snow bound guys could use a laugh

December 8 6:00 PM
It started to snow. The first snow of the season and
The wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by
The window watching the huge soft flakes drift down
From heaven.. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So
Romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow
Covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic
Sight! Can there be a more lovely place in
The whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've
Ever had!
Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a
Boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.
This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered
Up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got
To shovel again. What a perfect life!

December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a
Disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry-
We'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on
Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much
Snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see
Snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such
A nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14
Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The
Temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything
Sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed
Up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is
The life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and
Buried everything again. I didn't
Realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling,
But I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish
I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4
Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2
Extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants
A wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think
that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in
the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The
Wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very
Cruel.

December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go
Anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to
Pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but
Stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I
Should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to
Her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe
I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20
Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of
The damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all
Day. The damn snowplow came by twice.
Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said
They're too busy playing hockey. I think they're
Lying.
Called the only hardware store around to see about
Buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have
Another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob
Says I have to shovel or the city will have it done
And bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more
Inches of the white s*it fell today, and it's so cold,
It probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes
To get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I
Had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and
Dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to
Hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of
The winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the
Asshole is lying.

December 23
Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0.
The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house
This morning. What is she, nuts?!!
Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She
Says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24
6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke
The shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I
Ever catch the son of a bit*h who drives that snow
Plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and
Beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he
Hides around the corner and waits for me to finish
Shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100
Miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just
Been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas
Carols with her and open our presents, but I was too
busy watching for the damn snowplow.

December 25
Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn
slop tonight - Snowed in
The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate
the snow!
Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation
and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife
says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking
idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one
more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26
Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It
was all HER idea.
She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze;
plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he
only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28
Warmed up to above -20.. Still snowed in. The bi*ch is
driving me crazy!!!

December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or
it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever
heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now
he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the
beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the
broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to
her mother.
Nine more inches predicted.

December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more
shoveling.

January 8
Feel so good. I just love those little white pills
they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

[The Postman]

Thats hilarious!!! You guys are posting great pics, I really like the one of the doggy romping in the snow. Our little dog takes one step into it, and then its back into the house for her.

This was the forecast for the east coast:

Snowing again here right now. They are saying another 18-22inches...

[Steve]

I don't know when or where this was taken (a friend passed this along), but this is just ridiculous, wrong cold!

http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictures/Ice%20Cold.jpg

I think I would head SOUTH!!!


Looking at it I'm not convinced it's not photochopped. Look at the boats in the background...but it's still just plain wrong :D

Most of the weekend snow compacted down to about 10" overall. The winds haven't really picked up yet. Here's a picture about an hour ago:

Loving the pics there Evan. Much the same here. I'm maybe 20 minutes south of you...

[ChasDen]

Great pics :tu

We got a foot and a half here in OH over the weekend and another 6 the last 24 hours. I had to go dig out the same daughter twice in one day Sunday. The second time she was stuck in a frozen tire track on flat ground. :bh

Man I am sick of this, this year :(

[Rabidsquirrel]

The tent covering my '67 mustang collapsed... Can't wait to get over there and deal with that mess.

[white_s2k]

Got about 1/2 inch this morning here in Dallas. Everyone is FREAKING OUT!!! :r :r

[macpappy]

All this snow is what happens when Hell freezes over and the Saints win the Superbowl.

They are forecasting 2 - 4 inches of snow in the area north of New Orleans for tonight.

SNOW! It's why I live down here and not in Washington State.

[Steve]

Just remember, GLOBAL WARMING :ss

Stay warm and safe everyone!

Call me strange, but I love blizzards.....only wish I were there to help unburry you all.

Just south of Dallas, expecting 6 inches . My daughter and the snowman we just made . It would be her first one we have had a chance to make.

[Tombstone]

Where in the world is Al Gore?

[macpappy]

I know I live in the south and normally it doesn't get that cold down here but I can sympathize with many of you because I spent six years in Washington State, 3 years in New Jersey and 3 years on Governors Island in NY Harbor. I also spent 28 months on an icebreaker. I think I know cold.

That being said, it is "raining" ice crystal outside my window. I went outside a short time ago and there was a small squirrel sitting on the hood of my truck eating a nut. The engine was still warm.

[Titan410]

When I retire I'm moving South. The pics are from South of Baltimore in Anne Arundel County.

Won't do you any good. Saw on the weather channel last night 49 out of 50 states have snow right now.

[joeobx]

I left my house Friday morning at 530 for work and returned Thursday night 730. They took it easy on us this time only put in 104 hrs by Friday night at 4.This in one of our trucks that got stuck over night Wednesday night

Thanks for sharing the shot and for your efforts to help everyone out by working so hard

[joeobx]

By the way that truck is on the side of the street. It was nice to actually have more thanks this time than the other way around. Some people don't realize when the weathermen and the Government tell everyone it's too dangerous to go out is when we have to leave our family's at home and go to work.

That's silly, parking your line truck in that drift like that. :D

[kaisersozei]

While we've been hit hard here in Richmond this year (3x now,) my wife's sister lives in Ashburn. They're in a corner townhouse, at the end of a deadend street--a good place for all the snowplows in their neighborhood to dump the snow

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/ashburn_snow1.jpg

That's my niece at the top of the mound. She's about 4 1/2 ft tall.

Fortunately their driveway is clear. Barely.

[rack04]

A record snow for Dallas. I got about 12" over two days.

You guys have had a fantastic amount of snow so far, in the Uk we get 2 inches and the country grinds to a halt!!

Also i dont think over here we would get away with burying Police Cras under mountains of snow.. lmao.. :r

[XTRazzer]

...in the UK we get 2 inches and the country grinds to a halt!!...

Well there are places on this side of the pond that will shut down with the mere threat of snow. I know people in Montgomery County, Maryland that didn't have work or school last week because of the snow. I can't imagine being down south right now.

Oh, and there's a police car plowed in at the local station. Figure they'll give it to a rookie. :D

It snowed and iced pretty good when I was there in December '08. Drove from Glasgow to Manchester, and then Manchester to London in sleet and snow. The other drivers seemed to be doing OK in it.
