I am a veteran of many many blizzards. I have never seen anything like this. The weather channel predicted 7.8" . Right now its at my waist with drifts over my head. But it isn't the snow, its the 40mph wind and there is a tidal surge.
So anyway, I am outside looking like Randy from A Christmas Story trying to clear a space for helldog to do her business and I hear this crying "help, help" from somewhere out there. I ignore it for a few but it keeps happening. so I put a leash on helldog and climb out into the drifts. I takes me a friggin five minutes to get to the end of the block with snow at my waist and another five to get down the block only to find its two badass teens playing around.
I'm lucky I didnt have a damn coronary climbing out there to be a good samaritan.
I have never seen anything like this. If the surge comes the car will float away because I can't move it.
I am moving to New Mexico. Yeah, I said it, Danlo, New Mexico.

We didn't get that much a couple hours north of you, but a foot anyway.

Hang in there, you guys! We were supposed to get a few inches out of that storm, but it moved too far east so we were spared, thank goodness....

Well...I don't know about the big picture...but it is pure fact for those near great lakes or coastlines above @ 40 degrees lat. : warmer water=more snow and usually higher winds.Vain wrote:Oh that's too funny !!Avatar wrote:...global warming" means worse winters too y'know...)

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

We have a foot so far, and it's still snowing. The wind gusts on and off. All in all not to terribly bad for way up here in New Hampshire.
I just remember stories my father would tell me about living in Newfoundland. Such as one blizzard that came through and dumped about 12 feet of snow. They were stranded at school for three days. Crazy stuff.
Although I must say I would take a blizzard over a hurricane any day. Weathering Katrina still haunts me to this day. If the wind starts howling for any reason, I start hyperventilating.
