48° here right now, but the sun is just coming up. We might get into the low seventies today, and still have it feel like the fifties because of the wind blowing so hard

What about your son?

fixed.

Updated forecast is now for 18" with 30mph winds all along the shoreline. And I just threw out my back again.  >:(

That sucks, Wing.

Yeah, mickey's big hand is saying 12-18 inches now.  Still raining here but the snow line is almost to my house.  If mic key's little hand was a barometer I'll bet you'd see a big pressure drop as the front moves through.

I'm a bit worried about losing power.

Can't you just pull the plug on the server or something?

Be safe Grogs in all of your Winter Wonderlands wherever you are. And while you're drinking scotch and looking at your watches, here's something to look at. Wings of Freedom fly-in at my local airport yesterday. Please just ignore the blue skies and sunshine if it's too painful for you.  :hide:

Damn, those are some nice looking warbirds, Slash! 

Man alive is it snowing out there right now.  Second Gus- this looks serious.  Pretty violent out there with the wind.

No scotch...yet.  Right now I'm teaching the kids a very tough lesson about what happens when they don't do their chores without being told over and over again.  My house is getting sparkly!

^Please send the Mini Commanders to my ice encased hovel next. The Wife has moved up in her DefCon...I will need to evacuate all children and dogs before it gets dark out before she loses her mind. But its dangerously windy and cold out. Maybe I can force them into shoveling all this to stay warm.

I really should.

My house is looking good.  Everything is vacuumed and swept, dishes are done, rooms are clean...life is good.

I may celebrate by playing a video game.  And drinking scotch.  Together.
