Blizzard (2010)

Here in Tampabay 2:45 pm grey skies, 49ºf and very windy

And left a foot. Less than a week before, we had a blizzard - 9" plus winds...

Won't be watching Networks or any of the news channels because they'll all be having stormgasms over weather the rest of the country gets routinely and they never report...

I'm in the Worcester hills. We are expecting about 24 inches. I drove home during the Blizzard of '78.
Weather reports are saying this one will be similar, only difference is this time, we have been forewarned.

So far we've had an early morning dusting. No snow, but I'm watching the Patriot's post game show in Foxboro and it's snowing there. Won't be long before it starts here.

By the way...the Patriots had a big win.

Only a Trace in NW Washington, DC.

Expecting 12 to 16 inches at the jersey shore.
My bottle of aleve is full.
Stay safe.

in northeast CT....could be closer to 24" with wind shifts.

... much too cold ...

it's the dog's fault

just cold weather. May have some rain in a couple of day

Somehow I do not think the GPS will help you get out of the snow bank - be careful in the snow

But it will help the tow truck driver find where your AWD slid off the road from going too fast for conditions.

But, But I thought they could go anywhere

You can always use it to get out and start walking to find the nearest warm spot.

and for most of the coming week. I lived in northern Canada for a winter (-48 F) and Alaska for 4 years. Think I'll stay where I am for a while.

Just drove from Cape Cod to Connecticut. Usually takes 2:45, took just over 5 hrs due to the snow storm. Very windy.

The Subaru AWD did just fine.

I drove 22 miles home from work this evening in the blizzard on I-495. It took an hour and a half. Everything went okay until I got stuck in front of my house and had to dig out.

We were expecting 8 to 12 inches today here on the DELMARVA peninsula, but so far only about 3 inches have fallen in the north-central area. And I'm not going anywhere I don't have to.

it blows snow since a few good hours. they estimate it to be 12'' of snow by tomorrow morning. to me it looks like it almost got there already by now...

good thing I'm sick and not moving out of home anywhere ... though tomorrow may need to drive wifey and cat for a vet appointment (if they open up).

It is looking awesome in NYC. Nice wind drifts.

Grab the one you love, add a fireplace and a bottle or two of good wine... A blizzard? Who cares?

I thought I was going to miss the "fun", but the storm shifted and instead of only getting 3" we are facing a full blizzard now. I'm sitting in front of the TV, watching LOTR in TNT.

just think, at least 2 more months of this to go.

I'm the only one that made it in. LOL. 2003 Lexus ES300. The 4WD employees are home. "Conditions too bad..." 20 minute drive took 40 minutes. Not bad. Parkways were all clear. Got here before the morons woke up.

Sunday night football is on Tuesday this week.

here in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Should hit about 70 degrees today. Used to live in NJ though, so I know exactly what that weather feels like.

19 degrees, about 9" of snow on the ground, 35 miles south of Chicago. Last snow fall was Christmas Eve.
Missed all the lake effect snow that hit Chicago yesterday. Hooray.
Spring can't get here fast enough for me.
Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas.

where is my car feature to find the car under the snow in the airport parking lot.

20+ inches here.

The NFL just had to go and compete with the Insight Bowl...

Where in the bay do you live.It is the bay area Tampa Bay is not a city but a body of water.If you are going to comment on something know what you are talking about,learn how to spell also gray is spelled gray not grey.

Drove from Iowa to Queen Creek AZ to spend Christmas with the children and grandchildren. Was 70. Yesterday drove to LA but had to turn off the traffic on my Garmin because of a 25 mile traffic jam of people leaving LA going opposite of me. It will be 60 today. Will return Friday

Very good point. Have you noticed that most of the cars in the ditch are """4 Wheel Drive"""""?

I got stranded in the blizzard of '78. Stayed overnight at a neighbor's farmhouse and caught a ride home the next day on a county snowplow.

After the 3-day driving ban, I was able to get back to my car and shovel it out.

Picky, picky. The ops was making a comment. He wasn't asking for you to cretic(sic) him.

Here the thermostat is set at 73 but the outdoor thermometer is reading "ZERO"
Does this mean we have no weather????

...Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Keep hitting that little button until the snow blinks...

Who in the heck says "in the city of Tampa Bay" or "the Tampa Bay area" in referring to Tampa Bay? Methinks the protester doth protesteth way too mucheth.

Please check a dictionary. I am looking at the American Heritage Dictionary. "Grey" is a proper variant spelling of the word "gray." Neither spelling is considered incorrect. I would be surprised if you could find an American English dictionary which said otherwise.

And if we're counting, and neither of us should be, because commenting on the spelling and grammar of other posters is considered a violation of general Internet forum netiquette, his post had fewer spelling PLUS grammatical errors than your post.

This should be a place where anyone should feel safe posting. No one should be corrected on their spelling or grammar in this forum.

We are a community of different people from all sorts of backgrounds. Some of us have better spelling then others. If it were not for fire fox you guys would be correcting my spelling.

I find this type of behavior a bit petty and don't want to see it in this community.

Miss POI

I wasn.t asking for a critique from him about my last trip ethier,but he gave one.And if you are going to talk about a place talk about a real place,yes I am picky about St.Petersburg I am a fifth generation Floridian and we have (Tax payers) have spent a lot of money on a stadium in St.Petersburg,to promote St.Petersburg not a place that doesn't exist.By the way I didn't ask for your critique of my critique.

Lots of people check the post I was complaining about,plus the news media says it all of the time.

You are correct and I apologize for correction spelling as you said than goodness for firefox.But as I said in my post Tampa Bay is a body of water.

They can go anywhere, they just can't stop everywhere

I live a few blocks from dobs108. Fortunately, I didn't have to go out in the weather last night. This morning, my neighbor and I tag-teamed our driveways with his big, honkin' snowblower, so it wasn't too much work. It was strange, though - with all the wind, there were spots where I could see the grass in the yard, just a few feet away from 3+ foot drifts.

hee hee, I depend on that spelling dictionary in Firefox as well
without it you would have serious trouble sometimes in understanding what I mean haha....

What is this snow stuff you all are speaking of???

that'w why you carry your gps with you.

I was loving the snow fall / blizzard until I had too shovel out my drive way this morning

Stay warm...

Last year Houston was so afraid of an impending "snowstorm" on an early December Friday, that they closed the schools in anticipation on Thursday. When the "snowstorm" hit, colleagues of mine who work in Houston were able to build a snowman about 4" tall out of it!

The funniest part was I was in Chicago at the time flying into Houston. Chicago already had maybe half a foot of snow on the ground, operating as normal, but my flight was in danger of being delayed or cancelled due to the less than 1" of snow expected in Houston!

Near record snowfall in southeastern Virginia.
