Storm update

Ended up with 16 inches of snow. Pretty much what they predicted.

Didn't lose power or cable or internet so I can still entertain myself.

Currently 9F at 6:41AM so I ain't opening the door any time soon.

Supposed to be near 50F by end of the week and if this all melts quickly.....

I took a few pics (through the window) but I don't know how to post them here. They're on my Facebook but that's in my real life name so I won't link to that. If you're interested enough to look at some pics, WKYT is the tv station I usually watch and they have lots of pics and videos.

Glad you came through unscathed. :-) The snow melt might be tricky. Eeep.

I have been following this closely on the news over here....there have been some very good time-lapse films of the snow piling up...literally!!..it truly takes my breath away the sheer amount!...I don't think I have ever experienced snow like that over here in the UK.....I was too young to properly remember how it was during the really BAD winter of 63 (I think I was 5) when it was pretty awful....but I don't think my area of England ever reached those snowy highs!!


Stay safe, warm and good luck to all with the aftermath and clean up...

There were some roof collapses over night. One was a dollar store and two marinas fell, damaging and sinking several boats. And you know it's bad when they close the 24-hour Wal-Mart!

We had a massive snowstorm in the early 1990's that was worse than this one. We didn't work for a week because all the state highways were closed so they could get them plowed.
