Mo' snow on the way
 

Grocery stores are going to be nuts tomorrow

the work commute should be fun

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

I heard around 5 inches.. If that's it, then there really shouldn't be pandemonium at the stores... But then again, this is the Mid-Atlantic, everyone panics when it starts flurrying.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Yeah.. between that and I figure adding to the rush will be that most stores were closed today.. the day after always seems to be busy

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

We have 5 inches on the ground now and they are calling for another 5 to 8 inches. We had evenyone over last night so we have plenty of good leftovers to get us by for a day or two. My oldest daughter is snowed in here and I stocked up my bar before christmas so life is good right now. Heck I even have some chicken wings that I might grill up for the game. I love grilling in the snow.

MMM chili sounds good. So the roads are pretty bad in Richmond? My daughter lives in Richmond and is suppose to work tomorrow but I have told her to call in because she is here.

Yeah, last night wasnt as bad as I thought and actually with the 3-4 on the ground the main road near me this morning was actually decent. Now in the last couple hours its gotten really bad. I heard accident reports stating 64 towards yall around Williamsburg extremely dangerous. 64 isnt the safest road to begin with the 2 lanes, with snow AND bad drivers...yeah tell her to stay there. My sister is suppose to fly outta Richmond back to her apartment in NYC to Laguardia tomorrow night...I dont see that happening.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

So DC basically got the shaft. Now they're just predicting an inch or two. God. Just give me another 3ft blizzard. That's all I want!

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

I'd say we got 12 inches maybe a little more.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Looking like we'll get a foot before all is said and done tomorrow. Still hasn't started yet, not supposed to start snowing my way until after midnight. The morning commute should be a cluster F. I'm hoping my office has a delayed opening.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

weaksauce here

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Just enjoying some coffee and watching the snow, my office doesn't open til 10:30, hopefully the roads will be a little better by then.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Most businesses closed here today but I had to go in and clean off the side walks because I own the building and have two other businesses renting from me. I think after doing that today I'm going to find someone to have on call for the next snow. THe problem is we usually don't get allot of snow and it melts pretty quick. I also went down and cleand all the snow out of the boat. I came close to going out for a little ride after but I was too tired.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

what a joke. we got 2 inches. there is still grass visible on my lawn

No thank you. I spent literally an entire week digging out of Snowmaggedon last year. I'd be very happy if I don't see another flake this year.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

So I guess our members up north are getting hit today.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

snow day for me today, we're getting 9-12 inches

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Sucks for you Matty, they predicted 2-4 inches where I live today and all we got was a light half inch dusting that was gone by the time I woke up. :) I'll be glad if we don't see another flake for the rest of the year, although I'm still concerned about freezing rain.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

4 inches of weightless, fluff. Made for easy shoveling at 6 a.m.

Can't even pack the stuff though, it's useless.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

I know about 35 people flying into NY for a conecting flight on Friday. They are worried about getting stuck in that mess.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

It's pretty bad here in Georgia. I've been holed up since Sunday due to the roads freezing over. Apparently the same snow storm that hit the South has been moving it's way up North.

[QUOTE]Most of metro Atlanta's interstates and several secondary roads are still solid sheets of ice for the third straight day.

"Please, please stay off the road," said WSB traffic anchor Cpt. Herb Emory.
There is still ice on all the interstates around the city. All the interstates have lanes that are not passable because of ice, but none of them were shutdown during the morning commute.

"About half the lanes are blocked on most of the interstates," said WSB traffic reporter Doug Turnbull. "Some have more lanes blocked and conditions are very slow."[/QUOTE]

This storm hit you guys and then pretty much skipped over NC and VA and then hit up north. We got hit last time and it missed the ones getting hit now.

unless you are a boarder/skier...then it's pretty damn sweet.

I don't know if it skipped over NC. My brothers a freshman at NC State and he recently had a few classes canceled due to the snow.

Maybe it hit inland but it skipped us along the coast.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

We had 2 inches on Tuesday night, but it is calling for a higher amount of accumulation on our next snow storm, which is supposed to be on monday...

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

How is the snow looking for folks in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast? Apparently they had all sorts of problems in Northern Virginia. It just snowed too fast in a small period of time, which happened to be rush hour. I think around 6-8 inches in all.

It took my father 6 hours to make a 30 minute commute. My aunt got stuck, because she drives a smaller car, and had to leave it on route 7100 and walk home.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Not too much fun here in central Maryland. We got about 10'' in Columbia, and it's all ready heavy, wet snow so it was a pain in the ass clearing off my car. The weirdest part driving home yesterday at around 4 (thankfully I left work before it got really bad) was that there was freezing rain and [B]lightning![/B] Strange stuff.

On the way in this morning the highways were littered with abandoned cars and while the plows got most of the snow off the roads they weren't really able to get the icy crap underneath up, especially on the exit ramps. I really should have just worked from home today.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

It was snowing 2 to 3 inches an hour in Winchester when i left work yesterday at 3pm. Our company closed early.

Snowed until about midnight, and at my house i had just under a foot when i went outside this morning. We are getting off early again today, and i'll be going home to plow snow with our Arctic cat and then go see if i can't take the wife sledding or what not.

We have an old car hood that has an old school bus seat welded to it to pull behind the 4 wheeler. Great fun.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

God I'm so sick and tired of this winter.

That sounds like fun. We use an old VW hood in Tappahannock (sp) when I was there for a snow storm and it worked great.

My grandfather lives near Tappahannock. Weird to see somebody else name that town because it's so damn tiny.

This winter is pissing me off. 15 inches here in Philly.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

We lucked out with this latest storm. But word is next week another whopper could hit. :doh:

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Had 11 inches last EVENING. Yes, just in the evening, dumped over 2" an hour.

Great workouts though. Lifted weights, then shoveled 3 times. :D

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Where I lived didn't get much snow, but getting home was a complete bitch yesterday. My new job has me training up in Fairfax where Route 50 meets 123 and I have to take 123 all the way from there down to Woodbridge where my house is, and it took me over 2 hours to make that normally 35-40 minute drive yesterday. I was one of the lucky ones though, I got out like 10 minutes after the rain turned into a heavy snow and I was lucky to make it home, I was watching the news last night and people were stranded all over the DMV and there was plenty of power outages as usual.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this though but Prince William County's roads were so much better than Fairfax. In Fairfax the roads were slick as hell, I had no traction for the majority of the drive, and the salt trucks couldn't do anything because there were people driving right behind them as they were plowing and laying down salt. In PWC there was practically no snow on the roads though, it was all slush. I noticed an immediate improvement as I crossed the bridge on 123 from Fairfax to the PWC side.

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

Supposedly got 20 inches here in NYC. Without a car anymore though, I'm totally oblivious to snowfall. I don't have to worry about bad traffic conditions, starting a a cold car, wiping snow off the roof and windshield

Re: Mo' snow on the way
 

8 inches or so here in Central Maryland. No power for almost 4 hours last night. My source of entertainment after putting the kids to bed was watching the snow plow clear our street. Amazing how tiring it is when it's night and you have no electricity. Your urge to sleep increases tenfold.

Took my Dad over 4 hours to go 15 miles on 270. Then my neighbor took about 9 hours to get from Hyattsville to the south side of Frederick, including a trip northbound on southbound 270. Cars left abandoned on a major highway, people need to have some sense to try and at least get/push the car to the side of the road. I know the gas stations lining 270 made bank yesterday with all the cars having to pull off the highway for gas.
