Were eating a little bit of that as you read this. This morning on the way to work in the dark it was merrily a guessing game as to where the road was, as the snow fell and the winds blew, before the roads were plowed.
That all ended by 9:00 am.
Then it fired back up around 2:00 and has done absolutely nothing since, but create heavier and heavier snow fall. We've got around 5 or 6 inches since 2:00 this afternoon, and it's not letting up a bit. :eyebrow:

According to the weather channel and Weather underground most of WV and KY will be south of the worst of the storm.  Hope you can make it Glen!

Thanks guys. I hope I can make it too. If not I'll just stick around here & live for another year. We shall see.

Jim--It's supposed to start sometime around 10 tonight here. 1st the snow then ice pellets til sometime tomorrow before changing back to snow. 1/2" of ice expected around here as of right now & up to 12"-14" of wet snow. Pennsylvania is supposed to get it worse yet. I hope Vic & Steve have the shutters latched good. Severe thunderstorms with possible tornadoes further South. They don't say how much farther tho.  :shrug:

You & Art drove around all the snow on your way home that we got last year while we were at LBL. We came home to about 18" here.  :laf: :laf: Parts of Pa were shot down with over 2'. If I remember correctly pabrushwolf & his guys were hit the hardest.

Sure did Doug!!  :laf: :laf:

Only cause I knew it would work.  :eyebrow:

Right now the radar has the worst of it well North of here. The snow aint so bad. The ice will really suck tho. As long as the power stays on we'll be good. I'm still scheduled for an early Thursday AM departure tho.  :eyebrow:

Got about a eigth inch of ice on everything right now. Very unsafe walking out to the wood burner. Damm near fell and busted my JRB.

We are supposed to get about an quarter inch of ice on this storm. The one tomorrow and into Wendsday is the real powerhouse. Looks like an inch plus of ice then six inches plus of snow followed by 35MPH winds and bitter cold temps. I will be attempting to drive to Fozzys house in that.

Glen,

The snow might make it over your way yet today.  We have about 5 inches this morning, but the heavier snow is scheduled for tonight.

Is it a heavy wet snow Jerry?? Right now the sky is gray & there's nothing falling at all. I was hoping the little bit of ice we have could at least melt off the black power lines before it hit again. Maybe it won't tho.  :shrug:

It was slightly wet - would be great for making snowgirls (like snowmen, but more interesting).  There is enough wind that when the snowblower would throw it too high it would blow all over.  But is was not so heavy that my little snowblower couldn't get through it.  How is that for a description?

Well, round two of show (supposedly the heavy stuff) is now starting, but it looks like most of Ohio will get ice.

I was gonna take some pics, but I dont think I can top Art's... WOW! :doh2:

But if it snows for another hour, it will be past the height of the windows on the front of my house, and I wont get ANY pics.  :laf:

Ok...it's not that bad but it's getting a lil sketchy :laf:

Power went out at 9:30PM got generator hooked up and running at 10:00PM Wonder how long the power is gona be off? I am running on battery back up on my laptop. My generator is enough to keep heat and one light and thats about it. So this may be my last up date for a bit.  Guess I will talk with you all when the power is back on.

 :laf: @ Barry. The microwave was the easy one to figure out!! When you're hungry that is.  :laf: :laf:

Get some pics quick Jim!! The winders are filling up fast!!!!!!!!!!  :laf: :laf:

Good Luck slag!! I hope it's short term for you folks!!

This AM looks promising. The trucks are already out on the roads & the ice was mmimal. We dodged a big one this time around here. No snow at all. With these 36* temps maybe the ice will be gone soon. I don't care how much snow we get after the ice is gone.  :biggrin:
Title: Re: My LBL plans might change
Post by: slagmaker on February 02, 2011, 02:32:31 PM
Power is still off and we have some nasty winds and snow. 40+MPH winds. Got white out conditions going on at times. I heard on the radio it may be tomorrow night before the power is back on. I know that not far from me they had 17 power polls blown over due to the ice and wind. Last night sounded like a small war going on in my woods with all the trees limbs breaking. We are still under an emergency travel warning. They are tickiting people for being out driving around site seeing.

I am thinking about leaving tomorrow for the LBL instead of tonight. I want the power back on before I leave. Got my fingers crossed and hope to see everyone there

Well my power is still off and the generator ran out of gas on me. Had to run into town to get more gas and found out power may not be on till way late today or early tomorrow.

Talked with Fozzy and we are stil planning on making it I just have to wait on the power to be restored.
