10-15 inches coming. Heading out at 3:30am. Gonna be a long day tomorrow. Just got done hooking up chains on rear of the plow truck earlier. Hope it snows till June. Keeps the deer & moose flies away
I heard in NJ today they declared a state of emergency for < 1" of snow.... Newark flghts cancelled....Not even enough to plow but they were all out plowing....burning up the dollars... LMAO... it was 85* here today.
We just had the 16th measurable snowfall in Central Iowa of the Winter 18-19 season.
We were lucky at our place with only about 9.5" but that was on top of the 5.5" we got Sunday into Monday.
The fin part is the wind went from calm before this latest round to 30-40mph from the NNW during and after this latest round.
Our snow removal service came out 4 times in the last 24 hours and I still had to shovel 3 times to keep the walks from getting inundated again.
Now we get a few day reprieve with sub-arctic temps before the next round comes in Thursday night and again on Saturday/Saturday night.
I don't mind winter/all the snow at all as I am a pretty introverted person. Plus it helps out my brother who plows snow in the winter to supplement his income.

Pineapple Express is supposed to hit the SF Bay Area tonight with up to 8" of rain. I decided to "work" from home tomorrow, so I am now drinking wine and listening to rock. It better rain.

Yesterday, Sat. 2/23, my double driveway was completely clear at 5:00pm ct. This is what I awoke to this morning. 10"-12" came down in about 10 hours. Had some thundersnow too. The 30-40 mph north wind made it drift to about 5.5'. Took me 1:45 to clear it. Winter sucks!
As of this post, the following roads/highways are still closed north of us here in Iowa to the Minnesota border:
Interstate 35, US169, US69, US65, US18, US218; State Highway 17, State Highway 110, State Highway 15...
This is only the state DOT maintained highways. Tons of local and county roads are blocked due to large drifts.
I went out yesterday afternoon and explored just a few miles north of us in central Iowa and encountered many drifts across roadways that were easily capble of swallowing the Grand Cherokee whole. Got a bunch of nice pictures of the ground blizzard conditions but haven't yet copied them off the DSLR.
One shot I have is of me standing in the middle of a road, pointing the camera at the ground from should height and you can't see anything below my waist due to the amount of snow blowing across the road.

Yesterday we received about 10mm of rain and it was about 5C today temps are dropping so much so that over night it will feel like -30 with the wind

Abnormally windy here in Ct. and the power's been out here for the past hour. Thankfully the generator fired right up and is keeping the beer cold and the house warm.
We're in for two days of rain and wind here in the bay area. Oh joy.
"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."
Yeah more snow on the way this Friday followed by another Polar Vortex it was -16 with windchills this morning. Be glad your not driving down Kimberly the pot holes are crater size and it's hard missing em when you cant swerve into the other lane.

Nice and warm out here in FL, so I washed the cars.
Y'all northerners jealous yet?
Russ, you should just come down into FL or another warm state during the winter. It'd be a lot more fun fixing lights and such down here than up in the ice.

I've always thought the goal of high-end audio was not to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Turn that darn music down' but to have your neighbors bang on the wall and say, 'Tell your friends to go home and you can practice later this week'.
