Damn, Big Ole Snow Storm Has Arrived

2MinsToPost · #1 02-13-2007, 11:24 AM

Been coming down at a rate of an inch an hour, we got right around 5 or 6 inches since the sun came up. Now, we are smack dab in the middle of the line of rain versus snow, nothing but sleet and freezing rain until 6 or 7pm tonight. Then, later tonight, winds will gust between 30 and 40 mph.

Just great. Shiat I am bored.

I am concerned about losing power. Well, I am off to play Tampa Bay. Got a couple lanterns out of the garage, got plenty of grub after work, and oh yeah The Departed and another new release starring Kevin Costner, can't remember the name of it. Of course popcorn as well.

for safety's sake, be sure you blow out the lanterns before you put THAT one on. it's not safe to have those things going when you're asleep.

i'm hoping we don't get a lot...though we're looking at 4-6 inches allegedly here.

I would really love to see this storm burn itself out before it gets here...they are still predicting more than 2 feet over the next 48 hours...it's supposed to start tonight for us and end thurs. but the 35 mph winds should make even more of a mess.

We're getting some heavy rainfall in kentucky. Looks like you're in for a doozy.

In my area, we've had less than 5 inches all winter...today possibilty between 15 & 30...it's light, fluffy stuff though.
My new roof from last year can take it.

Those areas got killed last week, west of me in the "Tug Hill" area near Lake Ontario...over 100 inches in one place since last Weds.

Hooves- Out towards Oswego county (2 hrs West of Saratoga) there have been as much as 15o inches of snow so far this winter. The areas around that have got pummeled too, luckily we have been spared all winter until last night and today. The snow is falling heavily here and we're suppose to get between 2 and 3 feet total. I am about 1 of 10 people who made it into our office today, out of 140 people. Roads are horrendous and it hasnt really even gotten started.

We've got about 4-5 inches on the ground, problem is we have alot of ice, the trees in my front yard are bending so bad that they are touching the ground if they haven't snapped, one tree is going to die, also there's a cable laying on my front porch going all the way down front yard...I would rather have snow than ice...
