bosco mctavitch Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 We're only supposed to get 8-14" here....what a gyp. The ski areas and tourism industry here are hurting from the lame winter, and every frickin storm goes so far south that they have to plow the stuff into the ocean fer crissake! What a waste. Send it North!! Link to post Share on other sites
irish Eyes Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Now I know why I live in North Carolina. Ran the dog today for an hour, first time in 2 weeks. I've had a bad case of bronchitus and laryngytus since before the season ended jan. 31. Maggie came home with a bloody side to her paw and my wife thinks it looks like an ulcerated tumor. Made an appointment for the vet tomorrow......we'll be going north to see my vet daughter and vet daughter-in-law in a week. Admiral says don't wait, it's only money.

Dave Hamming Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Storm is over here. 6" of snow total. 15" in Muskegon, 20 miles north. Good luck out there.. Link to post Share on other sites
Briarscratch Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm in the "multi-forecast" area. Anywhere from 1"-12" so who knows? Auto-dialer called at 5 to announce an early dismissal for the kids and I'll be working from home. I hope we get something though, I want to go sledding. Link to post Share on other sites
Uplander Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm in the "Isolated 30+" zone. Stocked up on Doritos and wine, so we should be all set to ride it out. Link to post Share on other sites
Brad Eden Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 We appear to be in the blizzard 12-24 inch mid coastal Maine area. The electric goes out around here if someone breaths on a wires so we are expecting that early AM when the wind picks up. This modular rental only has the baseboard heat with no backup. If we planned to stay long I would have asked landlord if I could set a wood stove in cellar where there is a thimble into a separate flue in chimney. Went and got my medium size Honda generator from storage yesterday. We can run an electric heater we have if any prolonged power outage. Plus this modular is from Canada where they insulate them so well they maintain heat for a long time. That's obvious by no icicles coming off roof edges. Plus there are plenty of blankets....

PartridgeCartridge Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 With any luck, I'll only get a skiff of snow which is fine by me. I've had enough "weather events" this year to deal with. Sounds like a good night to make a hearty clam chowder and homemade biscuits. Link to post Share on other sites
River19 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well, Nancy went apeshit at the store's yesterday and blew a wad on all sorts of good stuff....the most curious was the liquor store. Bloody Mary Mix Bakon Vodka Vanilla Vodka Passionfruit mix (more on that later) Little Sumpin' Ale Guiness 3 bombers of Capuccino Stout With or without power we will have plenty of food and liver workout material. So last night I said, "you want a drink?" and she suggests the vanilla vodka with the passionfruit mixer.....now my wife is a lot of good things, but a mixoligist is not one of them. So I indulged her and made what she asked.....after my first sip I gave her the good news: "Congrats, you just made Dimetapp" Squeezing in a lime was all I could do to save it.... I'll work with it, we'll be fine....I realized we have gingerbread mixer from the holidays....vanilla vodka will be fine..... Bakon and Mary's is the best medicine. Link to post Share on other sites

Rex Hoppie Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have been watching the weather channel. There is no way you can possibly survive. You are all going to die. Do not go outside. If you have the urge to go outside turn on your TV tuned to the weather channel. There will be weather forecasters standing outside doing what you should not do and you can let their foolishness quell your urge to go outside. Link to post Share on other sites
