Stormageddon. The forecast for Columbia, Maryland is not as bad as what I experienced there in 2003. One Sunday in.......February, I think is was, I saw 32 inches come down and the temp did not get above 20 F.

The next Sunday it rained hard, and all the snow on the roof melted and some drained thru into my apartment. That was the first time I ever saw water dripping from a chandelier.

I found the super power cord for my electric snow blower (100 feet, 12 gauge, cold weather flexible). I hated my gas one because it took a half hour to get it started and it would stall once I hit the snow. The electric just tears through the snow. If I did it over I would have gone battery powered so I didn't have to deal with the cord.

10 to 14 inches is expected from now to tomorrow night.

I kind of agree, but the storm isn’t here yet, and we don’t really know the impact yet. My problem isn’t the snow really, it’s the frigid temps for the next week or more. Close to zero every night for the next 4 or 5 days or so, here in NW Jersey.

Agree with the push polls. The local forecasts are getting closer, but still some variation. Guess it comes down to the model(s) being used.

It is never too cold to snow, just ask the Eskimos.

I’ve got a big shipment coming from Austen. It’s stuck and delayed due to weather. I was hoping they would get it our before the cold hit.

-9 degrees this morning, currently 7 degrees. Too cold for ice fishing.

I can totally relate to playing with the faucets to get it just right.

We’re all prepped here in Cherokee. Hubby is away on a business trip so my son and his wife are hunkered down here with me.

Other son decided to stay home but he’s sick and I’m a little worried about him!

lol! My house dogs are so spoiled. My barn dogs (Pyrs) have a warm spot (deep straw in the barn), but they will be folicking in the ice tomorrow no doubt.

Now they say we might have ice after 11:00 p.m. One of my Uptown sons is here, but he should get home before there’s any difficulty with the roads. We won’t have enough food if he gets stuck here.

I don’t know how we can live with this global warming.
