The 2015 Snowmageddon Thread

18 degrees and in the process of getting 3-5 more inches. About ready to stab myself to death with an icicle.

It's snowing again. Seriously, this isn't fun any more.

Dad was 40 when I came on the scene. I never understood why Dad wasn't down with all us kids' winter fun. I'll be 50 this April, w/10yo twins... The Jan/Feb obits are double and triple normal... I can finally see winter through my father's eyes.

Time can sure change one's perspective.

You know? SCREW IT!

I'm going camping. Cannot wait any longer. I'll put down an extra tarp on the bottom, and bring a wool blanket for the inside to keep the cold down.

We'll come looking for you after the spring thaw.

Don't put those snow shovels aways just yet, folks. The Snowmageddon ain't over 'til it's over.

And...here come the school and office closings again due to thunderflurries!

3 more inches this morning. I'm all out of epithets.

Optafuel is a high-tech startup that was piloting a plant to make methanol out of biomass. They were in a building that belonged to the Wise County Econ Development Authority. It collapsed last night. I'm afraid they'll just fold up and quit, which will cost us some high-paid jobs. Several buildings in the area have collapsed. I shudder to think what will happen if it rains again before all this melts.

About 4" of very wet snow here and still coming down. Global warming be damned!

[FiremanBob]

About a half-inch in Rockingham county. And they closed the schools for it. I've never seen such a bunch of pussies as this county's school department.

[Snakester]

We got about 5-6" in Hopewell and looks like it is just about ready to stop. Cooking beans on the woodstove ... Can't wait for Spring !

...hunkers down to wait out winter's last gasp...


Gotta keep the faith - I'll be planting ash taters in two weeks.

(That's Irish for you comeheres)

[Snakester]

Them Irish Taters make the best "HO CAKES".

[Palladin]

They rarely take, Randy, but at least I feel like I'm doing something proactive! If sprouts start showing they usually get nipped by late frosts.

Need me some of those mini tunnel thingys...

OH!..... you mean ARSH taters. Why didn't you say so?

[Palladin]

Sorry - livin' here in the toe hills, my enunciation's getting corrupted.

[Swampman]

We're up to about 4 inches here in NW Warren County, and it shows no signs of stopping.

[Reverenddel]

Welll.... crap.

[dorminWS]

You can see how much ice was on my car this morning, and it was frozen so hard I couldn't scrape it. We now have about 4" of snow on top of that and it's snowing pretty hard. They say we might get as much as 8". We've got widespread flooding and a lot of folks without power left over from the previous blizzard. We didn't have more than 1/3 of our folks able to get to work today. And its supposed to get down to about 10 degrees tonight. God, what a mess! Just what we needed. I think the next time I hear the word "snow" I'm going to puke.

[Snakester]

I feel your pain dormin, I've been out in this slop most of the day. Now at 7 pm there is about 2" on the roads and "SNOWING" like Hell ! If the temp's drop tonight we are really going to have a mess. Hopefully this is Winters last stab at us !!!
