Snow Yet?
 

Supposed to be here noonish. so far - a big, fat NOTHING.

You?

go look again

We got a dusting of snow last nite.

Very light, none sticking yet except on top of what was already here.

I'm in an interior office, but my wife just called and she said it started about a half hour ago.

spose to start here at 3-5pm

Started here around 9:30 this morning, you should be seeing it either now or real soon, Bri.

Nothing here yet. Should be in full swing for my ride home though.
I wondered why there was no food and a million old people at the store when I shopped yesterday.... fuckers.

no snow for Michigan..... again :(

Here in the 4-Corners we're supposed to get snow Sunday. Or maybe tomorrow. It depends on how close to Telluride you are.

Sleeting rain turning to snow. Messy.

Nothing here yet in central PA. They expect it to start sometime around 2-ish with the heaviest snow starting after the evening rush. It takes time to saturate the air when the humidity is very low. We're expecting 12" with 18" closer to the MD line.

From the last one:

So far, I'm not impressed by the snow today. It's barely even getting the pavement wet.

But a glance at the radar shows that this is just a tiny, wispy cloud band in front of the real storm, and things are gonna get bad soon.

Snow yet?
No' yet.

We're due it next week apparently.

nope :(

Just got home. It's sloppy slushy yucky out there. I'll post a photo I took on the way home, as soon as my phone sends it to my e-mail. I can't find the little connector thingy from phone to PC.

Ah, here it is. Lovely day, isn't it? Weather folks say we're supposed to get 6-8" or maybe 12" depending on who's talking.

It's sticking on the roads, wherever there aren't any trees.

Looking out my front window (glad to be home!)

We just got an emergency e-mail alert from the County saying it will be 20 to 30 inches. Holy crap. I'm starting to wonder about the roof. Will a Virginian roof built to the shoddy post war building standards of 60 years ago hold that much weight?

We have about 1 inch now.

Good question, glatt. I'm worried about the aluminum roof over our chicken run.

Isn't your roof sloped?
You could always shovel it if its worrying you.

This is NOT a major snowstorm, people! The area weathercasters should be taken out and, while not actually flogged, at least spoken harshly to.

You hush.

We're hoping for several feet and many days of sled use.

I hope all stays well with dwellers in the 20+ inches area of this storm.

About a foot so far, but the heavy stuff is supposed to come in the morning.

i like your doggie.

Hard to tell how much we have. The wind is blowing it around so much. I'd guess anywhere from 10 inches to 14 inches, just looking out the window.

Ha ha, that's a wolf face off a mini-shopping bag.
Looks like it might get serious... and the wind chill is 5.

That is fun. :)

We dodged a bullet. Most of our neighbors lost power last night.

Everyone's out in the street comparing notes. The outage is in a weird configuration. Groups of houses here and there have power in the middle of a sea of outage. We're one of the lucky ones.

There's a good chance we may be hosting a family or two tonight. Depends on what the power company is able to do. Snow's still coming down pretty hard.

SLUMBER PARTY!

Super bowl slumber party!:cool:

our street and some lawn chairs in the back yard, 15 minutes ago.

A little over 26 inches, but I think it's slowing down.

We got a light dusting last night. All gone now. This is the unsnowiest winter I've ever ancountered in Michigan.

It stopped about an hour ago. I have no idea what the official number is, but after a day of settling, it measured 21 inches in the middle of the driveway.

Ya, we got quite a bit. Enough so that pickmup trucks don't stop so well anyway. FaaahhhhhhK!

OH NOOOOO!!!!
Is Every body ok ??

Yeah we're fine, the other guy is fine. Jeep is afu.

Lemme guess.... GMC 4x4 doesn't understand that getting traction doesn't mean he has brakes. :mad2:

Oh shit!:eek:

This is why a lot of areas made it illegal to be out unless you had to be.
They're even shutting down most of public transportation in Philly, until tomorrow morning, except the subway and one elevated line. Not only other cars are a problem, but people on skis, bicycles and snowmobiles, in the street.:rolleyes:

My dad has a 4x4 like that. Red and HUGE and not so easy to handle apparently.

Look at your one child taking it all in stride. :)

I am so so glad you are all alright.

Yeah, like the cop told him, 4wd means you can go it doesn't mean you can stop.

Holy crap! I bet that was scary. I'm glad everyone is OK, but I'm sorry for your Jeep. (Or I'm not sorry for your Jeep...j/k) I am sorry it happened. Fuck. Accidents just suck.

I had a little one during our last ice storm. As I tried to make a left turn, my car kept going straight and my wheel hit the curb flat side...hard. Ended up costing me nearly $1000. I declined not to go the insurance route.

At least with yours, the other guys insurance pays up. That is a bright side.

So sorry Jinx, but so glad all are ok. That's the important thing. the car can be fixed/replaced.

No way that guy even tried to stop. Look how far into a snow/mud bank he has pushed my 6000lb jeep. We're way off the other side of the road there.

here's a scientific depiction of what transpired.

exbit A:

Oooops, did you forget to bring Grampa in from his chair in the garden? :eek:

You've got a bit of white on your chair there.

I actually enjoy shoveling when the snow is light. But now I never want to leave the spot. It won't be available when I get back.

These guys haven't dug out yet.

The snow was much deeper at my parents' place. Notice anything odd?

I forgot how much that sucks. As much as I hated shoveling my driveway, at least nobody else will park in it.

HM, Im looking and looking....

look at the clothes line. If you click on the link and look at the original size, you'll see it.

I wonder why "snow" was yellow. I didn't pee on it intentionally.

Right. The snow accumulated on the clothesline. Apparently it was on all of the lines, but it fell off by the time my mom got my camera.

The table and benches were pretty sculptural, as well.
