F&^king storms!!! Argh!!

[Breeze54]

I just remembered that a friggin' Nor'easter is headed this way in the wee hours of the morning.

:banghead:

Snow, wind, rain, sleet... you name it and now I have to go back out THERE

and go to the store and I just put dinner on... :argh:

I was all set, or so I thought... gheesh!

But I'm not going without Bacardi tonight and all day tomorrow without cigs !! :grr:

crap!

[BarenakedLady]

1. It's due to start here at any time.

I feel your woe.

[Breeze54]

2. Where are you? I thought it

was coming in around 4 AM?

Are you in New York? DC?

Now I'm pissed. I have to pull on my boots again and warm up the car and....

I know... I'm whining. :grr: (sorry)

[BarenakedLady]

4. Western NY

I'll probably be buried under near two feet by tomorrow night. :(

[Breeze54]

6. You poor kid! We're only getting about 4-5 inches here and

that will turn to slush by mid morning with all the rain predicted.

I'm 20 miles west of Boston (give or take a few miles)

I heard NH was getting about 2 FT of snow tomorrow!

I feel lucky compared to them!

[GenDem]

7. Snowing here -- just started.

It will be pretty....but why so much? And why can't it come on Monday? I like snow days and a Saturday/Sunday snowstorm gives them way too much time for removal in time for Monday commute.



:hi:

[Breeze54]

10. Beautiful dog! - Love it!

I hear you on "why can't it wait!"

Maybe it'll create such a mess, that they'll call off Monday! :P

[BarenakedLady]

18. Nooo

I've got too much to do on Monday. I don't want everything closed off.

[Breeze54]

19. You and I know nothing will be closed here in MA!

:P

Everything will be open. Come hell or high water.... I was fantasizing! ;)

Hell, everything will be open tomorrow during the storm!

Even the Patriots plan on playing during the storm! :P

[BarenakedLady]

22. I'm hoping by Monday morning

They've (WNY) got it all under control.

Tomorrow is a wash, I know.

[Breeze54]

23. OOPS! I forgot you were in W-NY

Yeah, you have a lot more to deal with then we do.

2 feet of snow is a helluva lot of snow!

Hopefully, you have what you need to hunker down for the day.

I hope all your roads are cleared by Monday morning.

Thursday here in Beantown was a friggin' nightmare!

The new school super. in Boston (from TN?) didn't send the kids home early enough
and they were stuck on school busses, in traffic, until 9 PM at night before they
got home or before the busses showed up at the schools to pick them up!

You'd think she would have known better!
The parents were royally pissed and I don't blame them at all.

Huge gaffe by the powers that be! Idiots!

I hope you fair better and we only had about 10-12 inches of snow!

Not much snowfall, by SOP in MA but it brought the city to a stand still.

My back hurts from shoveling today and chopping ice! :grr:

I'll pass on the candy. ;)

But I gotta have my cigs for morning coffee...

and a couple of cocktails will ease my back pain.

I'm all out of muscle relaxers and Naproxin. :(

[Broken_Hero]

8. its all ready started here, SW MO

but its not that bad....not as bad as it will be in your area(I believe). Stay safe and warm...

[Breeze54]

9. Hi petersond! I just got back and my hands are numb...

it's damn cold out there! 21 degrees and nobody is out.

I saw only 4 cars gassing up... I skidded on ice exiting

the shopping plaza but all is well. It's already there?

Yeah, your in MO. ... I'm on the east coast.

I don't think we're going to get the winds but Cape Cod will.

I'm not worried about it. I'm staying in all day tomorrow!

We have a Patriots game to watch at 1 pm! :D

They've been shoveling snow at Foxboro all day and plowing the field.

You stay safe and warm too!! ;)

[lost-in-nj]

13. I'll share! ~ I love a party!

[Broken_Hero]

12. Ha, thanks...:)

Currently its 25, winds are blowing from 5-10, sometimes the gusts are a bit stronger...its still snowing, and the temp is dropping. According to our resident weatherman, its suppose to be down around 16 tonight(with wind chill that is)

[Breeze54]

14. Maybe my eyes are blurry...but

my browser weather thingy just said it's 21 degree's and feels like 21 or so I thought.

But after I read your post, I checked again and it says 21 degree's but "feels like 12 degree's"

That explains my numb hands! :P

We don't have any wind here yet...but it's coming!

[Broken_Hero]

15. The wind cuts through me like a knife...

in MO, its pretty flat, and the wind just comes on through....

[Breeze54]

16. I remember that wind when I lived in Illinois on a farm...

... the wind was brutal way out there in the boonie-boonie's.

I thought New England was bad during the winter but Illinois was really bad that year.

But the wind has a way of ripping between the buildings here and is just as cold! Brr!

But out on that farm, the snowdrifts had nothing to block them and would go right up the side of the house!

It was damn cold!!

[Redstone]

17. Screw the milk & bread; you have the proper essentials (booze & cigs) in mind.

I'm all stocked up, too.

Redstone

[Breeze54]

20. LMAO! I got bread & milk for the storm on last Thursday so...

I needed to replenish 'the bar' and the cigs for this blast! :P
We have plenty of food here but there's never enough booze
or cigs when you're holed up in your house during a Nor' easter. ;)

[Redstone]

26. I'm a New Englander, so I know. We also have the propane logs in the fireplace, and

several Alladin lamps. We're set.

21. 15-20 inches at last prediction

here in Rocfester.

Tomorrow is my husband's birthday. He had a recording gig out of town that just got cancelled due to the weather--yay!

I'm thinking good thoughts for those that have to travel tomorrow. Be safe; if you don't have to go, don't go . . .

[Breeze54]

24. Wow! NY is really getting slammed on this one!

But doesn't Rochester usually get high snowfall amounts? :shrug:

I'm going to go check my latest forecast. BRB

I hope we aren't supposed to get that much!! :scared:

BRB....

[Breeze54]

25. I'm back and it doesn't look that bad here....

20 counties are now under advisories, watches, or severe weather warnings.

Issued at: 4:40 PM EST 12/15/07, expires at: 12:45 AM EST 12/16/07

Winter weather advisory in effect from 1 am to 3 pm est sunday,

The NWS in taunton has issued a winter weather advisory, which is in effect from 1 am to 3 pm est sunday.

Steady snow will overspread the advisory area just after midnight. The snow will gradually mix with sleet late, before changing to sleet and freezing rain during Sunday morning.

A light glaze of ice will be possible on top of the expected snow and sleet accumulation. The precipitation intensity will taper off significantly as the afternoon progresses.

28. Howdy!

Are you in Buff? You guys always seem to get your butts kicked in the winter. Stay safe!

[Breeze54]

29. We have snow but not much... and no wind that I can detect.

At least not wind that I can hear. If I can't hear it or see it...

it isn't there and I did go look but the tree's are motionless.

But there is some snow on the cars. Maybe it's just getting started?

We'll see.
