Be safe out there
« on: December 22, 2022, 07:09:15 AM »
Stormageddon 2022.    Batten down the hatches.   


Well, batten 'em down again.   We'll teach those hatches.

Woke up to -14 and about 10" of snow.  I'm gonna let it warm up a bit before I even go out to clear some snow.

Got about 8 inches here (pause)

Not sure if it makes any sense to clear the driveway. Big winds are coming this afternoon. Feel like there will be crazy drifts everywhere no matter what I do now
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Landed at Denver last night.

Whiteout on Interstate 25 south of Denver last night. Pena Parkway out of the airport was snowpacked and bumper to bumper from the airport to E470.

It's really cold here so be careful out there.

We are just getting rain here in Southern New England followed by wind followed by very cold.
Fortunate compared to the middle of the country.

2-4 inches coming in SE Wisconsin, then a couple windy, cold days.

More like a once-in-a-month storm than the once-in-a-generation storm that is being breathlessly predicted.

Or as I like to call it -  winter.

Wind's cleared about half the driveway.

Only 4" or so here, but madison is pretty cuck.

All the neighbors did their driveways, so I gave in. Can’t feel my fingers or toes, but the snow was fluffy and the snowblower came through lovely.

Winds expected to ramp up early this evening. Blizzard warning in effect for my county 6p tonight until early Sat morning
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Northwest wind - you guys get nailed.

They revised it downward.   17 inches.


BTW, in this house, when the snow forecast is for an all night snowfall of 6-8 inches, but it turns out to be only a couple of hours and 2-4 inches, my wife calls that a (my name).

Thanks for the heads up, I checked before heading to the beach today (80 degrees) and there was a rip current advisory. Guess I will only be able to sit on the sand rather than a dip in the water. Winter is hell!

I shovel.   It depends on if the snow is light and fluffy 6 inches, or a wet and sloppy 6 inches.

Was told to work from home today because of the snowstorm.  It was supposed to be 3-6 inches, but all falling from between 10AM-2PM.  We got a dusting at best.  It is -4 degrees outside and very windy though.

I pay my snow guy.  He can plow the football field long driveway in two minutes.

Don't need another widow-maker event in my life when MU cannot even close a game.
