Are the airports closed up there? DH is supposed to be flying in from Bufflo tonight.

[tubebender]

When I saw the isobar graph on the Weather Channel with the center over NY I said to my wife, that looks like a hurricane. The low is now centered over Maine with the winds hitting NY...

[avg_freeper]

We're getting high speed Kansas like winds here in Georgia.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I understand--Hitlery was just blabbering away on the Senate floor. Must've been like a typhoon.

[dirtboy]

I checked the Weather Channell for the Buffalo airport. No delays, even though they have some lake-effect snow and have had a wind gust at the Buffalo shoreline up to 69 mph. I guess they know how to handle bad weather up there.

[Constitution Day]

Also blowing like crazy here in NC.

[katnip]

Snow mixed with hail in Scarsdale (Westchester County) now.

[LikeLight]

Numerous reports of trees/wires down steadily coming across the scanner here in Central PA all day . . . Power flicked out about half-dozen times . . . now report of a "partial building collapse" in downtown Carlisle . . . assume wind related . . .

[LikeLight]

Carlisle update . . . went to general area of bldg collapse, streets closed off, multiple fire apparatus still on scene . . . couldn't really see status of bldg from approx. 2 blocks away . . .

[Brad’s Gramma]

Wonder if she'll share whatever it is she's taking? Hehe

[Brad’s Gramma]

HILLARY!!!! Get out the broom! It's perfect flying weather!

[glock rocks]

yah, but no one has a presentable wolf recipe.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Mail Freep soon check. hehe

[Brad’s Gramma]

Wolf recipe? I guess I could find one if you insist!

[glock rocks]

If the ecoterrorists get their way, well, I'm thinkin after we move a couple hundred thousand caribou into the I-15 urban front, we'll be just teeming with wolves. How about a wolf fritters drive-in chain.

[The Mayor]

Saw some neat pics of the Lake Erie blowout;

not a whole bunch of fun here right now, or all day. Wind gusts up to 60 mph. White out snow conditions in the south towns. No snow accumulation here on Grand Island.

[The Mayor]
