Snowmageddon!

[Toonces]

I mean this in all seriousness.  If I was going to be stuck at home because of this storm, I would let my office get nice and cold, I'd bundle up, and I'd play Skyrim. 

Talk about immersive!

I'm not joking- I really would do that. 

But, I think a lot of you guys are going to lose power from all the wind, so maybe cooling off the house prematurely isn't such a hot idea (ooooh I made a nice pun there).

[Staggerwing]

I'm in the 12" to 18" or 18" to 24" myself, depending on what forecast one follows. Interesting times...

THey haven't broken it to us yet, how bad it will be. It'll probably be close to Mirthland.

I keep forgetting that there are Canadians who live south of Mirth while still being in Canada. As a matter of fact, you've almost got him surrounded.

Yeah that is not going to be very good especially if the utility crews can't get to problems until the roads are clear.  I'm also worried about any trees and poles that were weakened by hurricane Sandy coming the rest of the way down.

Up here the storm wasn't supposed to really get going until this afternoon, but I woke up to 2-3 inches on the ground already and it's snowing moderately.

I suppose I'll just keep my local weather forecast to myself.   8)

Drone strikes can find Hawaii, too


just sayin'

Looks like 40 Cents and I will be digging like badgers on Sunday. Current prediction for Halifax is up to 40 cm snow with wind gust to 80 kph on Saturday but I have a feeling it will be worse than predicted.

See ya in the cardiac ward 40 Cents!  ;)

Shell, get 40 Cent to drop over with his Ariens and he'll get ya cleared out! I'm ready to go with my 10.5 hp modded up Craftsman - I was thinking about painting a P-40 style shark's mouth and eyes on the side and invasion stripes on the handles   ;D

[Centurion40]

I just got the snowblower back from the shop yesterday- THANK CHRIST!!  No cardiac ward for me, unless the snowblower quits (again) and I blow a gasket!

So long as the power stays on, I'll game or watch TV.

No snow here yet, the sun is shining.  But we usually get what mirth gets, only 8-12 hours later.


The blizzard warning is in effect:

You soooo need to do that!

I'm now in the 20-26" band. The storm developed here sooner than expected yesterday.

[mirth]

We have 6 inches of snow in Portland now and this thing has barely started.

[mirth]

Apparently this is winter storm Nemo. I choose to think of Capt Nemo and not that stupid fish.

[LongBlade]

We managed to wake up to close to two inches of snow and a school cancellation this morning. It's already melted on the streets, but if that's any indication of how well the forecasts are working, y'all are in for more than expected.

[OJsDad]

And all of our snow is melting   >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

There's already been a 19-vehicle crash on I-295 just north of Portland. No serious injuries reported, thankfully. I don't envy the people who went into work this morning and are now going to fight their way back home. I was out briefly this morning and the roads were awful.
