In reply to the discussion: I'm jealous of you folks in the Northeast anticipating the storm. [View all]Jim Beard
(2,535 posts)48. I survived Goliath a couple of weeks ago. What was so bad is it was a Blizzard
We had 2 full days of blowing snow and after the snow left, it drifted more. I live in a rural area and conditions were worse in town because none of the snow stayed on the roof making more snow to ground area.
Over 2500 dairy calves were killed by the blizzard. They had shelter from above but not from the sides. It took a few days to determine how many were lost.
I'm caught up on blizzards for a while.

Staying in hotel and just experiencing it probably helped with my excitement.
