No sense losing sleep over shit you have no control over. You can't even drop everything and drive at this point. I wouldn't hire a private plane, either, it didn't work out for Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Besides, if you do get there, you're so wound up you'd probably pee yourself.

Gusts up to 50? Pshaw! We don't get excited about any gusts under 60 ...

 . KPH is to speed what the peso is to money. It sounds like a lot until you figure out what you need to buy a loaf of bread.It's time to go back to your roots and use Imperial measurements. Foot = king's foot League = average distance to nearest soccer stadium

Nope. In Blighty we measure small things in cm and metres (note spelling!) but bigger things in miles so I was thinking Mph, definitely. I think it is because we didn't want to go the all the public expense of changing all of the road signs ... Anyhow, WB Rich! Long time no see (maybe I've been hanging out in the wrong fora?).

So far here it is cold enough that the snow is a dry snow and there is enough wind that no snow is settling on tree limbs or wires. It's the heavily laden branches in the wind that cause outages. We should be ok. Even with the wind.

out the basement door. We're about halfway through this thing. Maybe a foot so far? Lots of drifting, so it's hard to gauge.

Wow.
Been following this on the internet - it's quite remarkable. The BBC website had some interesting advice: Some tips on surviving a snowstorm: 1.Make sure you have at least three gallons of drinking water per person, per day 2.Tape the windows with bubble wrap to keep the heat in 3.Use your dog to measure the snowfall ?! I assume if you don't have a dog you could use a child?

It's funny that we were both posting about measurements at the same time.
