Hey buddy looks like we are finally going to get some snow! They are saying it will be a snow hurricane for the next 2 days with winds to 74 mph after 12-20 " of snow. Might have to chain up the backhoe if the current predictions hold. Got a doc visit tomorrow that I have been waiting 6 weeks for.:hammer: figures they will probably close and the whole cycle will start over!
 
Here is the latest forecast for our area. Going to be interesting to see how it all turns out.
My, my! Doesn't this look bad? Quite frankly in my entire meteorological career, which spans back to the 1960s, I have not seen too many winters that have produced so many major storms.
After today's snowstorm, a storm of colossal proportions will come up the Eastern Seaboard wrecking havoc across the entire Northeast later in the week. From the higher elevations of northern New England to eastern Pennsylvania, there is going to be a heavy, wind-driven snowfall beginning Thursday and lasting into Friday morning. Roads will close through this region, and there will be downed trees and power lines.


The storm's effects will extend into the higher elevations of southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia where there is still a lot of snow on the ground from previous storms. Travel over those ridges will be next to impossible from Thursday afternoon through Friday as gusty winds blow and drift snow that is falling and what is already on the ground.

Here is the latest forecast for our area. Going to be interesting to see how it all turns out.



The thing that stands out about this storm is the shear power it will have, and how much wind damage it can cause. From Maine to Virginia, winds will gusts to or past 50 mph during the height of the storm. Winds will even peak up to 70 mph in some places.


Eastern New England will get a heavy, wind-driven rain from the storm, and 30- to 40-foot waves will pound against the coastline.

Well the heaviest snow stayed just east of us but the winds have been crazy. I honestly can't say if we got 6" or 3 ft. cause the drifts are so bad. Some spots are blowed bare and other places it is piled as high as the hood on my truck. Will take camera along when I go back out after bit and get some pics. Might need to get the backhoe out before the day is done. My road has one bad spot and my neighbors has an area by his mailbox that is 8ft. out in the road and a solid wall higher than the mailbox. I played with it for half an hour this morning and can't see tearing my truck and tires up. I pushed off a big area for an Amish neighbor whose father is passing away any time now. Old fella has been hanging on for a week longer than hospice thought but the family is starting to roll in and it will be a huge funeral. They are good folks and i might have to dig a grave for them. Won't know till a buggy shows up or I get a call.
 
Keep it out there. Don't send anymore our way. This has been a pain to try to stay up with the drifting snow. Run around pushing back 20-30 ft. sections that go from one side of the road to another. Then right around lunch a blast of big heavy wet snow flakes came blasting in sideways and laid down about 3 more inches in a 2 hour time. Quit and cleared out and the sun came out at times to damn near blind you. I am ready for sleep tonight.
 
Fell asleep and did not wake up till only 37 laps left. Mark is staying right up there with the youngsters again this year.
 
I missed the race. :(
Too busy cooking and yakking on the phone, giving the dog a bath and trimming her toenails, company showing up..
 
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

(Chorus)
I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
(He likes beer)

My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by

(Chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I love beer
(Yes, he likes beer)

Just got back from a trip up to the finger lakes above Watkins Glen. They have a lot more snow up that way than we do. Beautiful day and temps in the mid 40's are taking the snow away slowly. The sap is running good now and a lot of sugar shacks are cooking as well.
