I have had enough of this %#&@& winter.

Ice storm in Atlanta? I hate those.

About 2-3 inches of snow here south of Charlotte. The whole region is freaking out . The Mach 1 will sit this out ,the Interpid has been called into service.

It was effing hot here in cali today... like 80 deg F!

I miss my winter weather, high 40's low 50's!

I concur about the military weather. They use their own models and they have variants as well. A friend of mine in the Air Force was a meteorologist and told me that it was all quite complex. (Same thing Sanitation Engineers say...whatever.)

As a "supposed" SETI Researcher, I "might" have access to everything in the government, including military weather reports. This is a nice time to visit A51 for example, I guess.

"Anyone ever say to themselves, 'Where are Areas 1-50??'"

We had marginal fun in the snow today.

Finally got the snowblower running correctly, however mine is somewhat crappy (it was free) and it gets clogged with th is type of snow. Had to keep using a stick to clean the thrower chute out.
Anyway, we made a snowman, I worked from home for most of the day, and we did some sledding.

This shit was really heavy.

I'm working on a room upstairs, and I threw a bunch of pieces of the old linoleum floor out the upstairs window onto a tarp. Of course, I wasn't aware there was a storm coming, as it was relatively warm, and not precipitating when I went to bed last night. Needless to say, all that shit was covered with snow today, and it was a PITA to get it down under the porch where I was intending to put it. Alas.

I hear ya. I usually put mine away for winter to avoid the salt. Inadvertently, it just stays away because the garage it's in, is across town.

I don't know how much press we've gotten nationally, or internationally for that matter. But, yeah it is awful.

My wife left her office just before 1:00 yesterday. What is normally a 15 to 20 minute commute took her over 9 1/2 hours. Yep, almost 10 hours to go just over 7 miles.

I lost contact with her when her phone died at about 8:30. I impatiently waited for about an hour, then couldn't take it any more. I packed a backpack with some clothes, boots, hat, scarf, etc for her. I added some protein bars, water and a flask of Beam. Checked and adjusted the tire pressure on my mountain bike. Began to get changed to ride and find her, then walk her home. When....click...deadbolt open...she didn't have time to get the knob unlocked, as I was on it. Thank God!

We drank the whisky (which she hates, but Loved last night). We made some French onion soup, and drank beer.

OMG I always liked you, and all knights in shining armor.

But you are making the news big time. What I do not get is you all freak out when you hear it might be 40 or so why oh why when you all knew what was coming your way didn't you keep your kids home and make sure you could last at least 3 days without having to leave your house. Now I am not saying you personal did anything wrong because your wife was pretty close home but by in large you all are the biggest baby's when it comes to the cold weather how did that amount of people not be frighten of what was predicated? Anyhow all I could do is shake my head in dismay, but maybe I do not know the real story.

[kevin7]

Cinda I have to be at work no matter the weather. You know I work for a power company and no excuse besides sickness is really acceptable during times of storm. As predicted in this snow I was doing 30 mph going to work and some invincible douchebag in a Tahoe was on my ass and passed me in a double yellow line,of course i drifted to the left a little
