LOL! Are you wrapped in fleece clothing like we are? (No PJs but LLBean or equivalent fleece...)
I've always had a pantry,so except for almost running out of milk in the '79 one,I'm always okay;supply wise. :-)
Muchas gracias
We lose our water along with electricity also - we have well water. A plumber has to 'kick start a pump that provides water for 45 homes'...? I don't get it. Why is that? Fortunately for us, when power is restored here, so is our water.
Reporting from Boston College:
Snowing like a B!TCH. Winds not bad yet, but the snow is starting to get bigger and fluffier as opposed to the fine, powdery snow. No whiteout yet but it is definitely getting closer. We're still looking for 2'+ up here.
In Western New York, it started ~11:30 Am. It didn't stop for 2-3 days. I never saw snow as high as the tops of utility poles before that storm.
Right now between Buffalo and Rochester, about 3/4 mile from Lake Ontario, we have high winds (~40-50 mph) coming out of the North. Drifts across the driveway ~5' high. Very cold - around 2-4.
I'm hoping you are all home safe and sound... :-)
Been snowing since about noon or so,in SW Conn.,we've got about 8 inches (I'm guessing),the wind is whipping up some now,and it's about 12 degrees. I don't know what the wind chill factor is and am NOT going out,so it doesn't matter.
Oh my they're all related. My 20 year old 'grown up' lost his wallet on his way back to school after the Christmas break. Today he sends an e-mail saying he left his cell phone on his desk and when he went back to get it (15 seconds later, ahem) it was gone. Told my 'grown up' son to either begin to pin things to his clothing as I used to do with mittens or carry a purse. Don't think I'll be hearing back for a few days, LOL.
If your vehicle is considered non essential, you best stay home. Snow won't end until early afternoon, if we're to believe the forecasters.
I hope all that snow you get doesn't stop the game tommorrow! Can't wait to see the Steelers get spanked by Mr. Brady and company!
He's working on a system where he can kick start it from his telephone. I expect that to happen around the same time the Clintons are behind bars.
Meanwhile it is still 10 degrees here in Chelmsford, a NH border town about 30 miles NW of Boston and the snow is really coming down now. Picked up nearly two inches in the past hour.
About 1960 the Hudson River froze over and it snowed 24 inches overnight. Everybody stayed home. Why does everybody have to attempt to carry on as if it is summer these days?
About 12 inches so far here in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Still snowing at 9:10 pm Sat night.
It was sunny & warm here in California. I was wearing shorts & a tank top. hehehee
Maybe the Eagles can build snowmen to contain Michael Vick ;-)
Chick, how are you doing in NYC?
very close to the freezing mark here on the south shore of long island right now, eastern long island getting hit hard. cape cod is going to get blasted. weather channel reporter in chatham right now, 30 inches being predicted with hurricane force gusts.
