And another inch or more forecast for today into tomorrow has started falling from the sky......depressing grey, cold rain day.

I went to the library today and picked up the 6 books they had on hold for me. At least I can sit by the fireplace and read........until the 50-60 mph wind that's forecast for tomorrow arrives and we lose power.

We have been getting a lot of rain. All the lakes and ponds are full. Not much in the way of snow or ice. The only thing that is depressing about it for me is knowing that as the days get longer with more sunshine the grass will start growing and I will have to mow it. :mrgreen:

Rufus at one time you said something about installing solar panels for electricity. ??

I won't have that problem - can't mow mud, :roll:

Probably at my place in PA - small starter array to test things out.

Rufus,
What is your avatar called? It seems to be a Mobius strip of some sort.

Yeah, that made the News, even out here in the East.

Hmmm, I had consciously been avoiding the weather prognosticators, but now you have my attention. Nothing freaks me more than high winds, except high winds with rain. Ran up to Hanover PA today to pick up some paint, and noticed quite a few uprooted trees on the way home. The ground looks to be absolutely saturated. Hopefully tonight/tomorrow/tomorrow night's wind is from the south, otherwise we'll have quite the leaking from an upstairs recessed dormer. I'm beginning to think nothing short of a gunite application is going to staunch the inflow...ugh.

Headed up to PA again today. Quite windy. On the way up I was nearly broadsided by some guy's backyard trampoline blowing across the road. Last I saw it was headed across a cornfield headed east. Would have been hell explaining that to State Farm...

Maybe easier for Farmers Insurance to take care of since they've seen a thing or two......

NOAA says 1-2 inches tomorrow (Sunday), another 3-7 inches tomorrow night (Sunday night). Could be the biggest snowfall of the season.

Can't wait :roll:

I had plans to head up to my house in PA Tues morning, but from what my Amish friend is telling me, those plans are are probably not happening.

Same here, but not until Thursday...hopefully by then things are cleaned up.

Our town street dept says this better be it, as they anticipate being out of salt/grit after this go-round.

Would be nice to get four or five days in a row with sustained temps in the fifties.

We got 2 inches of sleet last night. Forecasters are all over the place on in coming snowfall. With 12 robins eating in my driveway. That tells me “ a lot of snow is headed my way. Those early birds always get dumped on.
