Re: Let It Snow

I'm in PG county and it's dangerous out here as well. The winds are scary. I'm thanking my lucky stars that I still have power, but I don't anticipate keeping it.

Re: Let It Snow

I'm so tired of this fucking snow. It wouldn't be bad today if the rain we had last night hadn't frozen. We just has a little but under than . . . . Slip, slip and slide. There were over three hundred wrecks in Richmond alone this morning.

Re: Let It Snow

My neighbor is walking from our neighborhood to Canton in downtown Baltimore - about a 4-5 mile walk - to check on his father's bar. Personally, I think he is insane. It's an hour walk in good weather.

Re: Let It Snow

I'm west of DC, and we got barely any snow out of this last storm. Maybe 2". The wind is killer, though. It's filling back in where I plowed.

Re: Let It Snow

We've got a good 18 inch drift on our front stoop, wind is blowing the snow on the ground and the snow coming down all over the place. Gonna be one helluva mess to clean up when all is said and done...the massive icicles hanging off the houses are impressive though.

Re: Let It Snow

There was a 50 car pileup on 64 this morning around Williamburg. They did not call for any real snow for this area but we did get some heavy snow around 10:30 for about 1 1/2 hours.
Winter weather causes 50 car pileup

I'm scheduled to work Monday (this past Mon) Wednesday (today) and Friday... I'm trying to call work to tell them I won't be in and there's nobody answering the phone. I guess the managers decided to not show up either. WTF.

My street hasn't even been plowed yet. Looks like that pre-treated street from last night is long gone.

I heard we are supposed to get more snow on Monday.. Tell me that isn't supposed to have significant accumulation with it as well. Please...

My phones do not work when we don't have power so that could be why no one is answering the phone.

Re: Let It Snow

I just drove into work because all of my guys called out and I had to relieve the guy that was here. The main roads are not that bad if you have 4 wheel drive. Getting to the main roads and snow routes is the tough part.

Having a slumber party at work...priceless!

Re: Let It Snow

Well, this thing has stalled out quite a bit above us. Right on the DC-MD (north) line and it's still coming down, and windy as hell. Crazy. Going on 30 straight hours of precipitation now.

Re: Let It Snow

It's stopped now in DC. Winds are still howling and blowing snow, but the skies have cleared. Thank goodness. I'm so over it.

Re: Let It Snow

The 3-6 inches I mentioned as a possibility for my area yesterday... didn't happen. Got nothing more than a dusting of snow. We dodged yet another bullet. Still can't believe how much snow you guys have, you normally don't see that outside of maybe the Buffalo area.
