Snowmageddon

[Rosemarie]

Just checking in to see how other East Coasters (U.S.) are faring. West Coasters and Florida need not reply! :)

 

I am currently buried in 2 foot of snow and there is still a couple more hours until the storm is gone. As you can plainly see, I am not a fan of snow (having taken Public Transportation for 20 years pretty much killed any love I may have had for it.

 

For those longing for snow, don't hesitate to ask because I have more than enough to spare! :) Hope everyone else in this mess is doing ok.

 

BTW, is it Spring yet???? :D

[Rabs]

Ohh nasty...

 

Yeah I saw all that snow you guys are getting.. Keep safe one and all...

[rocketman]

We got nothing here. It all stayed to the east of us. I talked to my relatives in NYC, and friends in DC. They are all hunkered down. Having lived in DC and seeing how 4 inches crippled the city, I can't imagine how they are doing. I guess the wind is coming tomorrow, which is going to make things much worse.

I was in DC until Thursday afternoon - got out just in time it seems.

Winds have been pretty steady around here and making a mess. I was out clearing our steps last night every couple hours and when I would come out for the next round it looked like it was all just scooped up and put right back where it was. The Jersey Shore (in Southern NJ) is a hot mess!

[SteveFord]

Probably 3 foot of snow at the moment, the doors are snowed shut, I am really looking forward to Spring!

Still snowing here, just inland of AC, 1030 Saturday night. They warned us 5 days ago, so we have a full refrigerator and no reason to leave, so we're good. Very glad not to be on the barrier islands, these kinds of events are rough out there.

Where I live these days it's not uncommon to deal with this type of storm a couple of times each winter. I truly feel for folks who are not prepared for this kind of serious weather.

 

Many prayers for all of you folks.

I'm right outside of Baltimore and buried in over 2 feet (I think officially 30 inches) of snow but it's finally stopped coming down. I've been out to shovel twice so far, but the true dig-out will begin Sunday.

Here are some pics of my place here in Maryland. they were taken around lunch time. The snow didn't stop until around 9:00 this evening. A lot of work to be done tomorrow!

I hope everyone out on the east coast is safe...wait it out

[Retired]

I heard someplace by Washington DC got 40 inches of snow! That's over a yard stick. Stay safe folks.

[dbrian66]

Here is what it looks like this morning. Started digging out but have a lot more to do. Hope I get it all done before the football games begin.

 

 

[SteveFord]

Four and a half hours of shoveling to reach the street.

My reptiles all looked at my funny as they've been snowed in, with the lights out and shades drawn, since Friday night.

Finally, the Big Pink Thing is here so where's the food?!?

[IanHenry]

I hope you guys "on the other side of the pond" are staying safe and warm. The news here in the U.K is reporting that quite a few people have died as a result of the storm.

It looks like the Worlds weather has gone mad, there's rain and snow everywhere (except where it's need, places like California).

Yowza!

That's nasty. Glad it missed us.

 

That's a sh!tlo@d of white stuff.

Def over 2ft of snow in central pa I was out for 3-4hrs digging out the cars. I can't recall such a storm

[Digger]

Stay off the roads if you can friends!

[Rosemarie]

The roads don't look to bad in my neck of the woods right now, there is significant melting on the roads. Tonight will be a horse of a different color once the Temps drop and road surfaces freeze. The road crews in my area were pretty diligent about plowing all throughout the storm. Granted I live on an "Emergency Access" road, but the Secondary Road directly behind us doesn't look too bad either. It also helps that road crews got a jump on things prior to the storm and brined the roads a few days ahead to let the solution set. The Shore points (in Southern NJ) are a different story, though, as they still have significant flooding. Even with the dunes that the Governor demanded all Shore towns put up, it was like trying to protect the land with a trashcan as the ocean went right over them with no problem.

We had a foot or so in Galloway, pretty drifty though so hard to say how much we actually got. The north side of the house was deep, and of course that's where the cars are. We dug out this morning, not too bad with Mrs on the electric mini snow thrower and me manning the shovels.

 

The shore looks bad. Lived in Ocean City for 6 or seven years, HATED it.

Y'all stay inside and stay warm now, ya'hear!

Send me a baby birth announcement on October 23, and I'll send you a present.

I grew up in upstate NY so we were used to storms like this every year. I also lived in Philadelphia (where my kids all are) Wash DC and Atlanta. The last 3 places have no clue when it comes to snow; in fact in Atlanta, all you had to do is mention the word snow and people freaked. I've been in SoCal for many years now, and the snow is right where I like it - 2 hours away in the mountains. Be safe East Coasters, and let the neighborhood kids shovel your walk/driveway. They won't get heart attacks!

[Aster1]

Looks pretty impressive and deep. Keep 'er safe out there you all!!!

Here on the Outer Banks,NC, we fared really good compared to everyone north and west.

Barely enough to almost cover the grass.

Mother ocean is angry, but no flooding.

I feel bad for the Jersey Coast folks and others with accumalations.

[capmaster]

Living in the foothills of the Alps I'm accustomed to lots of snow within a short period, but not often we were hit that hard as now the US east coast states. The winter of 1977/1978 is the most extreme one coming to my mind. My Dad, my brother and me were digging like crazy for days and created walls of snow taller as a man all around our drive and the house we lived then. Fortunately weeks later it thawed very slowly without causing serious floods.

 

Stay safe and warm!
