The electricity here flickers as well. Not sure of the snow total where I live, but I’d guess at least six inchres right now. The word is that most of us will see at least a foot or more.
Our bus system stopped running a few hours ago. The Parkway West (which takes you to the airport) is shut down, and the other Parkways will probably follow suit. Several other major roads are closed. I live on a main street in this town — no one has even bothered to plow or salt...kinda useless since the snow is still falling. There are hundreds of school, church and other events cancelled. All in all, not a good idea to go out.
We’ve had a lot of flickering, but still have power.
We saw flashes from a transformer short while we were out shoveling the drive.
We’ve shovelled 4 times so far, trying to keep ahead of it, since we aren’t spring chickens. Tomorrow I might have to give in and borrow the neighbor’s snow-blower.
At least we are getting our streets plowed. Turns out the guy assigned to do our neighborhoods actually lives in our neighborhood, so he has to plow us out first to get out to do the rest of the streets he is assigned to.
