LOL

I must tell you that my wife insisted we get one many years ago but, frankly, we haven't really used it very much (YET). Makes you feel good to have one, though.


It's usually a pretty sure bet, once you buy one, you won't need it. But eventually everyone whishes they had one! Keeping my fingers crossed you won't this time either LOL

West Michigan. It's winding down now, but I'd say we have around 15 inches of snow since 11pm last night.

You're a divider, not a uniter.





Fence-builder!

80 degrees all my outside work stops

Nice to think of now, I bet.

In SE North Carolina, we're looking at the coldest possible cold rain this weekend, but that's about all.

I would love to see a foot or more of snow here, once or twice a year.

That's funny you named the animated map "I'm comin' to getcha!" !!!

That means it worked. Best insurance you can buy.

It's been snowing here in North Haven, CT since 1:00, we've got about 1". Steady, small flakes.

Wow, I'm in North Haven too.

Of course, I'm old enough to remember the blizzard of '78. All the roads closed for 2 days. My freshman year in college. I remember one of my friends telling me that Quinnipiac (then) College never closed. Well, they had to that year.

I've seen several thunderstorms during heavy snow. Not that unusually 'round these parts

Hope no one minds me posting this again:

That is a great graphic.

I am in Scituate, on the coast and we are going to get the brunt of it, along with Cape Cod.

It has been flurrying all day and the wind and snow has not started in earnest as of 4:15 PM EST- Tom

United we stand, divided we fall...or maybe that was USAir they were referring to. Anyways, I think sarg is our 'Amarosa'...

I was wondering if anyone would notice that 'mouseover' ;-)

We had lightning with a snow storm in western WA in 1990. We had sixty mile an hour winds, fifteen inches of snow, followed by two inches of freezing rain. Combined with the lighning we had electric transformers popping all over the county.

[oceanview]

there appears to be some drying pushing into the storm from the west, making a "hole" in the backside of it. that line is approaching the PA/NJ border now.

[brooklin]

Your people really shouldn,t have used such short light poles. Someone could get hurt. :)

[brooklin]

I've seen it happen here in Maine.

[brooklin]

I can see the edge of the storm clouds now in the south.

[surrey]

I too am in Scituate.

That picture is actually from Goshen, that's where I live. It's really coming down hard now. We have picked up a good 2-3" in the last hour and a half.

[BigSkyFreeper]

The snow is fallin',
The wind is blowin',
But I can weather the storm!!

I am jealous. Enjoy the nice dumping.

As for me, it is nice to have a warm up out here and nice to see all the sleet melt off after 3 weeks.

It is hard to count how many times I fell down around campus.
