desoto1939 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hope everyone is safe and sound here on the east coast. We have been hit hard by a major snow storm. I live outside of Philadelphia, PA near Valley forge National Park. We had had over 18 inches of snow and it is still snowing. Have plowed the driveway once this morning and it is covered again. Will continue to snow until Sunday so some major dig out will be happening. Do not go out a drive it is not safe to be on the road because of white out conditions.

mopar_earl Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Waist deep in South Central Pennsylvania. I'm stranded at the power plant. No one can get in or out. Earl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbound Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 If it will cheer you guys up a bit, I'll be driving my Plymouth today, might have to put on a sweatshirt though, it's down in the 60's here....brrrrrrr. Lucky for us, winter only lasts a couple days. If I want snow, it's less than a 2 hour drive, the beach, 10 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldguy48 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I wish everyone would heed the warnings posted here....but I'm sure there will be a lot of vehicle accidents published in tomorrows newspaper. My philosophy is: stay home during the storm, peruse the forum, have another hot cup of coffee, and let the snowplow drivers do their job.

DutchEdwin Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Snow and cold in the US, mostly means warm and no snow in W-Europe. We've had our little bit last week, only 1 week of freezing here. +15C! in December, now going to +10C in The Netherlands. We could use a bit of frost and snow here, will keep the bugs away in the summer . Keep warm and I hope it doesn't flood your home when is all starts to melt.

pflaming Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Nebraska '49 blizzard, I think it was called the blizzard of the century. We were in the heart of the storm,70 mph winds for nearly 60 hours with tons of snow. The wins was constant for three days and two nights. All windows were like milk, zero visibility. We did not leave the ranch for four weeks. The spring melt was almost as bad as the blizzard. I was 11 years old. We had lots of fun on the drifts. That one drift was 18' high, was one of many. Side bar, a drift is very hard because it was wind packed, hard as concrete. Edited January 24, 2016 by pflaming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1940plymouth Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Here in my part of the Catskills, we were on the northern fringe of the storm, we didn't even get as much as a snow flake, but boy what a cold howling wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hiebert Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not a cloud in the sky the past three days here in northern Maine. I imagine we'll make up for it by the end of winter, I'd be disappointed if we didn't. I do have to fly to D.C. for a connecting flight to New Orleans tomorrow, tho. Still looks like a go, saving grace is that most of the people attending the meeting I'm going to are from D.C in the first place, so if I don't make it, neither do they.

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I now this is taking it OT...but if the majority of the meeting members are flying out of DC..why not divert the few who do not live in DC to DC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Tim, the government way is never the least expensive nor the most reasonable way. Which is why so many in the per primary polls are not polling for incumbents! This post may cause Me a second 30 day sanction! ! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hiebert Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Most of the attendees are not from DC, but our HQ component personnel, of course, are, and they're the ones running the show. I'm the only one out of 20 from "the field" that has to go through an east coast connection to get anywhere, this time it was DC. BUT - the meeting has been postponed. Not only can our HQ folks not fly out, they can't even get to the airport, or out of their neighborhoods for that matter. Federal Govt. in DC will be closed tomorrow. The fellow I was talking to lives in Manassas, they've got 35 inches on the ground, said its doubtful DC will be open for business Tuesday, too. I just hope everyone plays it safe, heed warnings, stay off the roads, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
