Update for my area now has 10-12 inches today and over night. Damn! Just as the roads were finally clear... longer wait to get the convertible out of the garage....  >:(

Just for informational purposes, I am available if any of you all facing the Snowpocalyspe needs their money, gold, silver, or other valuables stored for safe-keeping while the storm rages. And UPS delivers right to my front door. Because.... you know.... there's no snow, sleet, ice, or hail here.  :-*

Lol.

Did you make sure everything is charged, all phones, tablets, laptops, and portable game machines?

I'm guessing you don't have a generator but do you have an inverter you can plug into your car to give you a little AC wattage when needed?

Something like this? https://smile.amazon.com/BESTEK-Power-Inverter-Adapter-Charging/dp/B00UFERZKO/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1489509038&sr=8-6&keywords=ac+inverter

Rain stopped here, but we're stuck in the 30's for temps.

Power still works tho, so there's that :)

About 15 inches of snow, the winds are picking up and it sounds like sleet is coming down now. And the Rottweiler shit in the upstairs hallway again because he doesn't want to get his ass cold in the drifts outside. God help me if I don't murder him before tomorrow morning. Fucker.

THAT is a big clean-up.... condolences.
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

I'm an expert now and they were spongy drops. But damn is that dog a primadonna pain in the ass. My dog does what he has to do, freezes his rectum off and then thaws at the fire. God bless him.

Sir Slash

Maybe you can use the Rotty shit for fuel in the furnace. Should be enough for the whole block.

^ That's awesome!  Pornhub just gives and keeps on giving.   :smitten:

No, SW, I don't have any of that fancy stuff, but I do have a 6-pack of Black and Tan left, so there's that.

Anyway, looks like we survived.  It's a wet, soupy mess out there, but a lot of the snow melted.  It's going to go below freezing tonight, so tomorrow should be a nice, icy ice mess tomorrow morning.  Hopefully the roads are well salted for the drive in.

Man alive is it miserable out there!

Just finished shoveling the slush off the end of the driveway so I wouldn't get a four-inch deep ice dam there, causing the melt to get held back onto the rest of the driveway and form a skating pond. I made the mistake of not taking care of that a few years ago and the deep ice stayed on my gravel driveway for at least a month, despite many following warm days.

About 4" here so far and wind blowing like crazy..... probably still have to go to work tomorrow..... :P

I would have thought that 4" of snow was nothing to a man of your calibre Vance, a mere scattering to be laughed at - hahaha.
