Bahahaha! 

Welcome to my world! I got home from work in the Arctic to 3 feet of snow on my deck, stairs and driveway. I went a bought an electric snowblower for the deck, it worked great!
It’s a plug-in type, but I don’t like messing around with batteries.

Seriously, you got this, but be damn careful of your footing and your back!!

Stay warm!

What's the Scottish word when it's cold dark and raining?

Summer.

Like on Mrs Brown’s Boys when the Mormons came to the door!

”It rained for 40 days and 40 nights? We just call that the feckin spring!”

Bahaha!

This morning forecast for here was 14-24 inches of snow.
Now in afternoon it's 11-17 inches of snow with ICE.
They are still getting their forecast together ...
Watch us get nothing.

10 Years ago I had it...

Last time we got hit l was in a much larger house and yard, walked out to check out the snow just in shorts and a hoodie at 5:30 in the morning


3 huge limbs had fallen on the driveway and crunched my roof, and one went through the windshield of my truck, 2 more were blocking the driveway, and the largest was blocking the street in front of our driveway. I grabbed my boots, gloves 

Took me 3 hours to clear it all; thankfully, a neighbor helped me clear some of the road, was so glad the chain was sharpened on my little shitty chainsaw.

Our trees are used to it Putnam, we get that often, but my buddies yard at his cabin dropped a good sized Spruce that grazed his cabin and landed damage-free on his deck.

It took him 2 days to clear it up with the boughs and the deep snow. I understand.

Best of luck with the storm this time!!

eta:It’s not like we don’t get those storms, but usually end of February or March when it’s heavy and wet snow

Here we go ....

Latest forecast for this weekend (Jan 24 & 25) has

-  DC getting 2 feet of snow.
- West of DC getting 2 to 3 feet of snow.
- Philly getting 18 inches to 2 feet of snow.
- NYC getting at least a foot of snow
- Hartford CT getting at least a foot of snow.
- The deep South, Carolinas and Texas expecting massive ICE storm with power outages.
- Nashville - 30 inches of snow plus ice.

I hang out in weather forums.  I only understand half of what is said.
But it's interesting looking at the models and the chatter between weather folks.

The Megalopolis is going to get socked!

The Euro models are the most accurate and that's what they say.
The American GFS has the totals slightly less and further South.
But the GFS notoriously sucks compared to the Euro models.

It's going to be a stink'n mess.

My husband and I are old military so we believe in prep'n up.
Get the gas tanks filled. Do all the laundry and dishes in case power goes out.
Groceries .. was going to go Friday but think I"ll go Thursday before the crowds.
Got plenty of beeswax candles and matches.   etc etc

We usually don't get much here.   It's been 20 years since we got dumped on.
We have a dog .. a Shiba Inu.   He hates trying to do his business with snow on the ground.
Taking him for a walk is a challenge.  Icey sidewalks, having to walk in the road,
and not a blade of grass anywhere to motivate him to 'do it'.

Anyways ... here we go!

One of the few benefits of living in Portlanistan.

Take care!

We get tornadoes and hurricane-induced flooding all the time, but it's different cleaning up with the snow and ice.


Good news looks like it will slide farther north of us, so some cold rain and sleet and very modest accumaltion  is the most likely outcome
