Got Snow?

I dunno. I'm a snow snob, but looking at some of those pictures ... they did get hammered! :) ;)

True that, its not really a dusting that would just melt off in the afternoon. They've got some snow that would knock about any snowbelt city for a loop. And they have maybe one tenth of the gear to deal with it there.

You know... I'd take off on what they said a bit... I'd build a snowman and then cue up for the next interview and do it off camera while focusing on the snowman.

Now that would have been awesome.

I've grown impatient waiting for pictures from friends in my hometown, so I checked the online version of the paper.

Found this (from the Carroll County Times):
"1 a.m. Thursday: It appears most areas in Carroll received between 21 and 26 inches of snow from this storm. The unofficial reports from the National Weather Service are as follows: Westminster (26 inches), Eldersburg (24 inches), Lineboro (23 inches) and 22 inches six miles northwest of Manchester.

This means Westminster received 50 inches of snow from the back-to-back whopper storms."

And then I found this picture:

If the beer is in the trunk, then why did she bother with digging out her passenger side door??

I'll guess sunny, 80 degree highs (maybe 70-75). Dry. Yeah, no sh*. Dry. :p

Actually quite wet. Humidity of 80% yesterday. We will have tripled our rain fall by the end of the month of what we had last year. 80 in the backyard with the concrete. I broke a sweat doing little yard work yesterday.:D
 
Re: Got Snow?

So, tonight's forecast, snow. 1-3 inches in the Charlotte area. Luckily it looks like will be sunny tomorrow, so it should melt somewhat before I have to head out tomorrow night.

And before you all think that moving to the South has made me a total wuss, I live on an unpaved road, unmaintained road. Clay, snow, southern drivers and no snow tires do not mix well.
 
Re: Got Snow?

We got 17" in Allentown on Weds. My company actually closed for the day, and I don't remember the last time that happened. I was dug out by about 8 PM wednesday nite, and life resumed on schedule Thursday AM.

City streets in the downtown historical district were still in bad shape last night, since they need to haul it away somewhere rather than just plow it to the side, but other than that everything is moving again.

We were Philly today for a game at Drexel. The streets are a mess. The city has no money for snow removal

One of players' dad said it took him 3 hours to go three miles from a restaurant to the Class of 23 Arena! :eek:
 
Re: Got Snow?

Goddammit, you east coasters (yeah I know I lived my first 18 years in VA but let's not bring reason into a rant) can have your stupid snow all you want, but not when it inconveniences me! I'm planning to travel to Ithaca this weekend for my annual weekend back and now we get a storm described by AccuWeather as "paralyzing blizzard", "snow hurricane", and "atmospheric monster". And of course I fly over night from Thursday to Friday, the worst days of it, though Newark to Ithaca, both of which may be smack dab in the middle.

To paraphrase some show I heard once "this is the worst kind of inconvenience, the kind that happens to me!".

Serves you right for choosing P/A instead of Reunion. :p

Yeah why would I choose a house-specific event (those being the people I actually want to see) when there are Cornell hockey games to watch and Cass Park games to play when I could come back in the summer (when no one is on campus) and see random people in my class (none of whom I know or would have bothered to stay in touch with) when there is nothing hockey related going on. Reunion is for old people who care what multiple of 5 years it is since they graduated, as they have so many multiples of 5 to go through.

:p :D :mad:

But Ithaca with good weather is not really Ithaca.

Ah, that's a very good point. Did you see the pictures from tailgating before the UND game? That was some Ithaca weather we had, and it was a great time. It's crucial to the experience to say "Screw you, cold and wet and snowy weather, I do what I want. Whateva, I do what I want."

In any case, have a good time. If we lose to Union, I'm holding you responsible.

Sadly it's not fully my decision to what I want in that I will need the airlines to get me there. Also, we'll be in section O first row for the Union game, which should be fun.
