Possible 2 foot total by Sunday evening. Just another winter's day for us.

I hope we don't see another one of those storms
This looks like a fun thread. The music schools are closing at 1PM today, so I will be home after that practicing...and freeping! See you then, got to get to Grand Central for now...
North-Central WV. altitude 1500', 35 degrees and light rain.
Idexx pharma is there - I'm a veterinarian and it's a major vet pharmaceutical co. Plus I could bring my boat down from Mount Desert and sail more often. What kind of state income tax do you pay in ME? No one can ever answer that question when I ask around Mount Desert/Bar Harbor. Maybe they have more money than the rest of us and don't care!
Coming down pretty hard here in Pittsburgh. Been falling for about two hours. I am looking at the national radar. All the talk was that this storm was going to go a lot more south, it does not look like that now. But a LOW in West Virginia might cause this thing to dip lower.
Yep,I heard that 20 in thing too.
Well we received a foot of snow since 11pm last night, and its still snowing.
totally right about the cold weather. I'm a Texan, but I love cold weather. And walleye! Have a good friend that lives just outside of Lansing. Great people.
Maybe you can answer a question for me. In Port Huron, where I was born and bred, pickerel seemed to be the most desirable of lake fish. There are a couple of restaurants around there that have excellent pickerel. My question is: are pickerel and walleye the same fish?
-17 right now south of you. It was about -22 when I got up. The sun is shining, and the weather man says we'll only get about 10 inches tonight and tomorrow so no big deal.
I don't actually know for sure, I'll check on that.
"...whatnot..."
That's the important one, C! LOL!
Fun day...
But if it's snowing in Pittsburg, I'll take the Pats.
;O)
One thing to remember about the East Coast is that even Washington, DC has more LARGE snowfalls than Chicago, believe it or not.
Chicago on average gets much more snow per winter than DC (and DC can at times go all winter basically with no snow), but the incidence of really big 18+ inch storms is actually higher for DC; more moisture avaliabilty. Chicago gets its snow typically in a lot of smaller storms.
Where are you, rinny?
I wouldn't doubt it for a minute! That's partly why I will never live again in the Northeast.
No, completely different fish. Pickerel are related to Pike and Muskies. Walleye are related to Perch.
There was a fish called the "Blue Pike" in the Great Lakes, which was related to Walleye, not Pike, but they were rendered completely extinct by commercial fishing in the early 1960s.
We have Pickerel here in freshwater (Maryland) and I've never met or heard of ANYONE bothering to eat them. I don't bother eating freshwater fish at all, same is true of most people around here. I laugh when I hear of people talking about stuff like Yellow Perch as a delicacy; we have those too, and to me they're pretty bad-tasting; not even remotely comparable to saltwater fish in terms of eating.
I know Idexx, quite a success story there. State income tax depends on how much you make, but a good working figure for personal income tax is 7 or 8%. Sales tax is 5%, zero on groceries. Property tax depends on the town, and the assessor. I'm in a mid-range town for property tax (Standish) and the rate is $10.75 per thousand. Some towns (Windham did this) are playing with personal property tax on items like snowmobiles, tractors, etc. I drive two vehicles that are so old they are almost off the Blue Book, and my registration fees are a couple hundred bucks a year.
