Should've never gone to work this morning.......but hey, I've always wondered what it would be like to put in 24 hours in one day  ;D

Just take a gander at this radar, I'm in southeast PA, in Lancaster County

from the looks of it we got a big one this time. Anyone else in the northeast US?

Oh man! That's really gotta suck. I offer my sincere condolences, do we need to send in the St. Bernard with the little keg of Brandy?
If you weren't  600 miles away, I would come give you a ride home.

Thanks for the condolences  ;D At the moment I'm snug and warm........and about ten miles away from where I want to be. Might need the brandy and saint bernard later when I try to get home  :P  :)

I'm amazed at the size of that storm, it's coming in and sitting there spinning and churning out snow by the bucketfuls, lancaster is just a little bit to the west of the storm center (right now anyway)

So far we've got well over 12 inches of nonglobal warming  ::) :)  since this morning, and still coming down like something unleashed........

I hate snow and the cold that comes with it with every tired and weary molecule in my entire body.

I am in south Jersey and this is our third major storm of this winter.  The first dumped 24" in December, We just got 28" this past saturday and now another 16" of heavy wet snow yesterday.  Both my small tractor with plow and snow blower got a real workout this winter and both are worse for wear.  But unfortunately no power outages to put the listeroid to use.

Give your local weather guy a smack in the chops.  Tell him I said it was OK.  :D

Put it through a test run anyways. You never know when you might need it.
