Northern weather

[E7]

Blew like Hades here until late in the day, but compared to the coast, really lucked out. Get a couple more weeks under our belts and the worst should be over! Ready for milder temps. Got stuff to do!

We lost power for 12 hours. 6 inches of snow on the ground and melting fast. trees are down allover. most were pulled from the ground roots and all. That's from heavy rain the night before. With a little bit of snow on the limbs and high winds.Down they fall. Some real nice ones came down.

Gov't and schools were closed yesterday - winds hit 75 mph at times. I've got an oak limb down that I can't budge. Siding is ripped off the house behind me; shingles in the driveway from somewhere (not my roof!), more than 100k w/o power and many still in the dark, traffic lights still out in places, 95 south of DC diverted onto the toll lanes because the Potomac Mills sign is apparently about to fall onto the road.....

I think I''ll work on my layout today,

I hope they turned off the tolls.

They did.

Reports are that it was pretty bad in that area and worse further north.
I hope all of our friends are OK.

Still a lot of folks without power around here. Has to do with 8 foot diameter trees laying across wires. They can't get enough cranes to stabilize the trees while guys cut them up.

Calling for another nor Easter. maybe 1 foot +. Stores are bone dry of food around here. People made a run on them to replace what was lost in the power outage. Round 2 comes in on Wednesday.

Saw that forecast a few hours ago -- looks like we might be some rain and maybe some flurries, but that's enough to be paralytic here.

Hopefully this thing passes well north of us. Interesting that the Hagerstown "Town and Country Almanack" specifically calls out "March 7-9: Nor'easter, heavy snow" for the mid-Atlantic region. Not one that ever put much faith in these things other than for entertainment value, but this year it's been dead-nuts-on a number of times (more than not). Just sayin'...

"dead-nuts-on." That's a new one for me. Never heard that before.

The CFO at our Hughes division used the term whenever his monthly financial-results forecast turned out to be accurate. I rarely heard him use it, lol...

Heavy snow headed your way, mate...remember, lift with the back when shoveling. Better yet, find some young buck and give him $20 to take care of it.

Thanks, Healey. I am careful about snow and am blessed to have it taken care of for me, usually. Some years ago, a nearby neighbor, a few yaers younger than I, dropped dead in his driveway just struggling to get his snow-thrower out, in position, and beginning to plow. He wasn't discovered until hours later, by his son.
Thank you, again, Healey.

P.S. Today's weather, at this point in the a.m., is bright, sever-blue sky with tons of sunlight and cheer, a bit distracting from what may, indeed, hit us.

[robert.]

Don’t shovel it will all be gone by mid day Thursday.

Ch11 just now altered the prediction to 12-15" in for my general area. That's some serious weight.
