Looks like a major storm is heading into the area. There is already ice forming on all the trees and wires. They are saying it might be as bad as a storm we had back in Januray 2002 which left us without electric for 3 days. The broken branches from that storm are still falling from my trees every time the winds get nasty.

Fuck.

Anyway, if I disappear, someone please send out the Saint Bernards for me and this time don't drink the fucking brandy first like last time.

"Total ice accumulations in excess of 1 inch will be possible by Wednesday afternoon, with an inch or so of snow expected to fall on top of the ice.

"The ice accumulations will rival what we received in 2002," Busby said.

The National Weather Service said that the wind may also be a problem. Northeast winds of 15 to 20 mph, combined with the ice accumulation on trees and power lines, will likely result in considerable tree damage and power outages across the area Tuesday night into Wednesday"

No offense, my friend, but I for one wouldn't mind if the storm just kinda died and stayed right above you. As it stands, it's bearing down on me.

As it stands, we're looking for 36 hours of shitty weather ... snow, rain, and ice, with the ice being dominant (1/2 to 2" possible).

I went out to take some pics but it isn't bad enough to justify it, pretty enough though, so if I get anything cool I will post them later.

Good luck PD.

i feel for ya, and I right there with you.

I live on a lake in the middle of the woods, killer place in the summer but this winter has been the worse I have seen in 20 years.

Right now, we got over 4 inches of solid ice where our roads should be, NO cars can make it more then 20 feet without sliding sideways into one side of the road or the other (Which is a 6 foot snow and ice bank)

Yesterday It took us 4 hours and 5 tows to get 1 mile :( and after that we decided fuck it and parked the truck at the main road and "slid" back to the cabin, now we have to walk a mile in the snow just to get to the fucking truck lol

Fuck snow, Fuck ice, FUCK WINTER :(

Still coming down here ... now they are saying that we'll have 1/2 inch of ice and 3-4 inches of snow before it's done tomorrow night.

Rest of Today
Mostly cloudy late in the morning then becoming partly sunny. Highs around 72. South winds 5 to 10 mph.


think I'll go fishing :ph34r:

Hey Danny............

um, er...ya know...um............

FUCK YOU

Yeah, thats the ticket........................ :okthumb:

It is here too.. I may have spoken too soon.

It has turned to a sleet mix that is covering the ice sheet and starting to pile on top of the frozen branches on the trees... :(

Here's what it looked like this morning from my kitchen window....

Like I said, not so bad...but pretty

I cant wait to get home to warm weather

weather here has been cold as .....

well you get the idea

Sar and PD,

Appreciate you two keepin the ice up there... The flash floods missed us but barely... Creeks down at the Ava farm were running high according to Dad. Hope tomorrow the rain takes a freakin break!

it's really coooold here..freezing

3 degrees here this morning.... High supposed to be about 13. Wind chill right now is fucking -9 dammit.

Mark, from the weather report it doesn't look like you are any warmer so watch out for the big freeze man.

I'm gonna let the truck run for about an hour this morning before getting in.

Only ice here is in my kitchen's freezer and what is this thing called snow?

77 F (25 C) with pretty wispy clouds in the sky here.

Sar,

Woke up to a dusting but no ice thank goodness... Appears we dodged everything but the heavy rains (knock on wood)... Next week, not sure we'll be as lucky with that biggie brewing to the west.

Warm thawing thoughts for my buddy in Mama'a Family town... ;)

An inch or two of snow up here in Vancouver.

Even in the city not just me halfway up a mountain.

(Geart views considered an exceeelnt area , but because of its height it gets nore snow and more rain)

Did anyone else think "Oh no what's JoeE done to Sar" when they saw this thread? :ph34r:

There was fucking snow in the desert! I wished I had my camera to shoot the ice forming on the cactus!

Just saw pics on CNN of it snowing on the strip... Looks like the show ended at just the right time. :blink:

Wasnt no mention of Ice Cold Cash at the show.
