Be safe

tonyb

All you Polk heads up in the N.E., looks like your all about to get blasted pretty good. Hope you all horded enough booze and good eats for the week. Be safe and hunker down.

pearsall001

Yes indeed Tony we are well stocked here in anticipation of a doozie headed our way. It's supposed to be so bad that my son's swearing in ceremony for the Air Force has already been canceled to Wed or Thurs. My wife & I had taken off to be at Ft. Dix base for the ceremony. Now it looks like we'll be digging out all day instead.

hochpt21

Good luck out there. Be safe!

tonyb

Right about now is where Keiko usually posts his beautiful Hawaiian pics....and I want to bop him upside his head. lol.

mrbiron

I stocked up on booze, forgot the food but I have stouts so heavy you could chew'm. Its great when all they can tell you is "between 2-3 feet". Inches don't matter at that point.
I'm going to be snow blowing at 2am because I can and nobody will complain yet I wait until 7am on Saturdays to start up my table saw. What a world.....

westmassguy

Thanks Tony, but it's another Nor'easter. If you live here, and don't know what to do by now, you're a moron. People still clear the shelves of milk, eggs and bread for some reason, like there will never be any more ever again.

EndersShadow

My brother moved to Conn in December lol....

First real job, first apartment, first massive snow storm...


Hope he prepared like I told him too lol, doubt he did

westmassguy

They blanket all the local station with the same tired info, where the shelters are, how not to die from carbon monoxide poisoning etc. This starts days before the storm even hits.
The coast is most likely going to be hit the hardest, with flooding.

Yeah man, I know....but there are still those out there with little common sense.

mrbiron

I have my snow blower running in the garage with the door closed. I like how it makes my house smell.
I have also been sawzalling tires to burn in my fireplace when the power goes out.

Tony, you are your common sense....psssht!

westmassguy

Unfortunately common sense isn't that common anymore

GlennDog

SE Michigan is gonna miss it by "this much" . . . Thank God
Stay safe and pass the time in-between shoveling with sweet sweet music!!

I saw the Blizzard map and seen Dave was in the bright blue where it says 24-36 inches! You get to have all the fun...
my furnace just went out so I'm glad it was 70 today.

Guys, I had to ride my motorcycle home in the rain at around 63° today. but I know its nothing like what you guys are going to get. Hope y'all stay safe and have no power outages so you can keep the tunes on and the heat up!

My area in Maine. Bring it on

Thanks Tonyb. Carla has Tue & Fri's off so this storm timing was great. We moved back over to the coast & she works at the old Regional Hospital so its not too far. I do all the traveling now.

maximillian

My neighborhood already lost power. Been out dor about 1.5 hours so far. I would hookup my generator but National Grid is out working on a transformer.

Mass. Is in a state of emergency for tomorrow and work is closed.

mrbiron

You're two miles down the road from me and I've got TV and power......weird.

maximillian

It's literally a transformer on the ground (underground cables) 1/4 mile away. Probably 30 homes only. Still no power. I should go ask them how much longer. I don't want to get out the generator only to have power come on minutes later. Getting cold though.

boston1450

Hope you get it back soon. Try to stay warm n be safe

maximillian

Got it back at 10pm last night. So we're good. Not sure what was wrong since the surrounding neighborhoods still had power. Still, I am glad that what failed did so early and not today. If it did today then the crews would probably have been too busy to fix it immediately.

It's quite the blizzard out. I don't see anything down yet. I think we have a foot of snow but it's hard to tell with the wind blowing it everywhere and accumulating it in some places.

Stay safe everyone.

drselect

Hope every one stays safe.

And on a side note I am going to do a little forecasting and predict a baby boom in 9 months.

mrbiron

Not in this house

chefkungfu

I used to live in the Poconos for 15 years, until I became tired of shoveling the snow, even with an F-250 with a plow! So now I'm in S. Florida..... I'm still going to stock up on the booze!!!!!!! Just because my fellow polkies are up north with some good booze, so I'll have a few ones in the spirit of passing time hunkered down in the snow with them!. So bottoms up!!

But the hurricanes here can be just as bad! So we just do the same thing.... drink and eat, and listen to music!!!!
Frank!!

Is there anything else to life ? lol

mrbiron

Soooooo muuuuuch snowwww!
2.5 hours of snowblowing and the trucks have barely even plowed the roads which means when they do, back to the bottom of the driveway.......

Beer time

maximillian

I left the end of the driveway until tomorrow morning. There's still 7-8 inches in the road.

Yup, so true. I always laugh when I see the east coast whining about snow...

Went to the store on Monday afternoon to pick up some necessities. Had to get a couple gallons of distilled water for the coffee maker (tap water has build up over time). There was no water left, none. I overheard one person say that when electricity goes out on the pumping station they have no water. What?!?!?!? You would think a town would have a generator for that. Fortunately our town doesn't have this problem.

But you're right, no milk, bread, but there were some eggs. I didn't need any of this but I was surprised to see the shelves so bare. I don't think any storm has been that bad that these items are in crisis for any extended period of time.

I don't want to imagine what will happen if there is ever a real crisis.

tonyb

I was expecting MrBiron to put up a pic of himself with one arm sticking out of the snow holding a beer.

Glad to see the world hasn't ended as so many media heads were declaring.
