%$#@*&# SNOW!

[Camino LS6]

They are calling for 2-4 inches here. This comes way too early, and guarantees that I'll have to drive the wagon through the salt mess. I may even have to put the plow on the ROPOS, all of which delays getting the Tahoe done.

GRRRRR!

6-12in of heavy/wet snow forecast for CT. I need to get my snowblower moved from the shed to the garage. This sucks!

[ocnblu]

Not sure it's gonna stick to the roads here, and it's supposed to be 53 tomorrow, last I heard.

[Camino LS6]

Not looking good, it's snowing steadily here now which was not predicted until late this afternoon...

Time to make some fuel runs and hook up the plow, I guess.

[Drew Dowdell]

Snowed here, but didn't stick to the roads

LOL

Hello winter....

I called my dad, and before I could suggest postponing his birthday dinner out, he suggested it himself. So we're going tomorrow.

Growing up on the farm with my uncle and grandfather, this is the kind of day we'd pile in the old Ford pickup and travel the roads all day, stopping to eat and barhop.

Happy Halloween...

This friggin sucks.

Actually, almost warm enough in Columbus for some odd reason to put the convertible top down today...that SUCKS to have snow like that out east.

Lost power...thankfully was only for about an hour...someone from CL&P must live in my town...that was super quick restoration of service!

[the_yellow_dart]

None here, in fact I went mountain biking today... 12C (72F) outside!

Luckily it didnt snow in Northeast Wisconsin. Still got a few things to get inside and I need to change the oil in my big snowblower.

[Camino LS6]

Bright sunshine on the snow this morning. Going to step outside and see hold cold it is.

[A Horse With No Name]

Hope it all melts away!

[BigPontiac]

Lost power again last night after midnight. Much of CT has no power. They're talking several days before power gets restored. The tools of today were a 4x4 pickup, a snow blower and a chain saw. I'm tired.

I'm hoping power doesn't take this long. Happy I have a laptop and a Mi-Fi card!

LOL check your metric conversion there...

[caddycruiser]

Last Saturday of the month (should be a huge sales day) and combine ice pellets with snow and rain and frigidness...not nice. Snowed weird amounts in random places around Philly, as I saw driving around today. Some with a few inches, some with one, some with a dusting, all with a lot of melting wet roads.

I remember trick or treating in western PA as a little kid on a freak snow storm Halloween before...back again that came.

Oops, thats what I get for doing it manually... should be 12C (52F)

Really cold overnight and this morning, but the sun is stronger today - should be a big melting off.

[Bimmer325]

Got about 8 inches here in SE NY. Roads were a mess on Saturday.

[z28luvr01]

Long Island skated for the most part. Piled into a Jeep with some friends went to the city and back Saturday evening, and when I came back the car had about a half inch of the slushy white crap on it.

Still, not an encouraging sign to be using the s-word as early as the end of October. I'm about ready to become a snowbird at age 33.

No power - day 2. Thankfully my employer has power, so going into the office is a great way to get heat, electrical changing and a hot shower...they opened the fitness center to all employees. Not a great situation, but all in all this could be a lot worse.

[BigPontiac]

No power - day 3...now this is getting old. It's like camping in your own house...

[ocnblu]

Oy BP, I hope you're humming again soon.

[Turbojett]

it's like reading an expeditionist's diary.

"Day 374--

Still no power again. I've begun to completely forget what a lit light bulb looks like. The feel of central heating. The satisfaction of a cooked meal. All distant, blurry memories to me anymore. One wonders when this madness will ever end, though I must confess, I've begun to lose hope that it ever will..."

Day 4 - no power. The major electric utility leadership has lots of excuses, but not much in the way of results to show. 50% of the state still without power. Their ETA is "Sunday at 11:59 PM".

I'm getting a generator and wiring it into the house when this is over!

[knightfan26917]

Ya'll can keep that snow, for now, please and thank you.

*shudders*

WAY TOO EARLY.

Day 5 - Power restored! Certainly makes you appreciate some of the basic amenities in life. I'm much luckier than about 300,000 other people who still don't have their power restored yet...
