This storm is gunna suck, big time.

But I dont think it'll be as bad as that time we got 5 feet of snow, 6-8 in drift spots... THAT sucked, it took probably 4-5 hours with THREE people to get it all done.

Couldnt see the street from the front window. And when we were done, walking out of the driveway it was as if we had some sort of icy retaining wall surrounding it.

Im thinking one to two feet. Forecast is saying about 25-30 centimeters, with wind that would boost it up a bit, and my driveway always seems to get more than everyone elses.. So yeah, at least 2 feet all around, higher in drift spots.

Where I am in NC, things didn't get too terribly bad. Was mostly overnight. We had ice, but it melted today. Nothing severe. However, west of here (Wilson, Rocky Mount, and westward) got nailed pretty severely. Something like 660,000 people in NC are without power. Raleigh (the state capitol), Durham (it's neighbor with all the big colleges), etc are effectively shut down. Power's down, phones are out. Could easily be days before power's restored to residential areas.

My Dad and Stepmom live in Raleigh...they left the house and came to Greenville to spend the next few days. No power means where Dad works is closed. Schools are closed down, so my stepmom (a Principal) is mostly waiting. So they grabbed their stuff and came to G'ville this morning. Said power was out everywhere in Raleigh, through all the smaller towns between there and Wilson, and it looked like Wilson was blacked out in places. Got here and got a room at the local Holiday Inn, plugged in their laptops, and are just going to wait it out. Could be upwards of a week.

Wasn't TOO too bad here in pittsburgh.

It'll probably get worse though.

The 96 storm was the worst I've ever seen. I remember snow drifts being twice my height. That was the year I carved out a three-room igloo with connecting tunnels from the pile of snow that the snow plows had left on the side of the road.

I could have done more but I was tired.

We built ramparts in the snow drifts on either side of our driveway (each 10+ feet high) and repelled besieging neighbor kids.

In the back we had another pair of snow forts separated by ~100 feet of trenches, all of which which were staging grounds for various arctic campaigns.

We had about 1/2 a foot of snow today, not all that bad, it was pretty fun actually, as I got to break out my spiffy new leather boots today for the first time, and people were sledding around after classes were done. Also, no more Bio labs for me after today! Whee! I am happy...yaes.

I was one of those 660000 in western NC without power. About an hour's drive nw of Charlotte. One of our cars( the one not under shelter), was litterally frozen shut on one side and the trunk. I guess compared to places in the mountains and further north it wasn't that bad. Still enough to call off 2 and half days of school. There's been lots of accidents too . I just heard on the news about several families that tried to use charcoal or gas grills to heat their house and are now in the hospital with CO2 poisoning. This is what happens when people have next to no idea what to do with an ice storm that takes out the power .

Yeah, i'm just rambling, so i'll call it quits.

The storm isn't to bad here in MA.
About 7" so far.
You wanna see bad look up the blizzard of 78.
I remember things like snow drifts covering Houses, Opening the front door to find the snow up to 4" from the top, Some local joker cruising down the road with a dogsled, National guard monster V plow trying to clear the roads. Yeah that was a fun one.

Me and my brother built tunnels through our side lawn. It eventually collapsed on him when the snow started thinning out after the heavy snow stopped

Took me an hour to get to work, but the rest of the day was a breeze.

We'll see in the morning, though....

Ah, but in '96 I was coming back to Pittsburgh from New England when it hit. The news said it was goign south, so we got on I-80......and suddenly it turned north.

We ended up in Clearfield County (middle of nowhere) for a day and a half...

Not to bad here, though i noticed it turned to a wet snow mid day, hopefully it will not go back to fuck all cold and ice up the snow.

Also my work sold out of snowblowers.

Thankfully enough the snow completely missed my part of town, which is a little wonky to be honest with you. Either way, we were only supposed to be getting 3 or 4 inches in Maine total, if it hadn't...like...kinda missed us.

This winter does indeed have the appearance of happyfun about it. Maine's just been really fucking cold, but still no snow.

The storms of 96 and 98 were indeed fun. I remember those well. *cries*

I didn't have power for two weeks.

Ok the storm went right over our heads and rained instead of snowed. We got out of school on Wednesday then it rained for 12 hours strait melting everything. If it would've just been 3 degrees colder we would've been out of school for atleast a week.

You're on the eastern part of the continent?

So you mean he asked you?

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.
