H2o Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 We've rarely gotten snow over the last 10 years or so, but we are in the midst of a semi-blizzard here right now and it's not even Christmas. I knew this current wet weather pattern would bring us some eventually if it continued, but I surely didn't expect it this early. Tis the Christmas season and we are actually walking in a winter wonderland for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Awesome!! I'm hoping we get slammed tomorrow. Nothing better than a weekend with the first big snow storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Getting LOTS of snow here in Southern WV. The road going up to my house was a skating rink/parking lot. I ended up parking the car at the bottom of the hill in the church's parking lot. Then walked home...approx a mile. Did my good deed for the day and helped push two cars so they could get traction and get going. Too close to my house to go back and get my car. Besides Mrs. Lew was already home and her car has the newer snow tires. We are not going anywhere until Sunday anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 As an Erie, PA native I would like to see some snow in December for Christmas As somebody who has lived in Virginia, I know that even a dusting will cause a panic A scenic Buffalo/Western PA Christmas looks pretty But for somebody who hasn't experienced a Buffalo/Western/PA Christmas - It's panic time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv-Bills Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Just south of Richmond, and we already have 5 inches in the first three hours of snowfall. AND the heavy stuff isn't supposed to fall until tomorrow. This is awesome. I may tailgate in my driveway before the Bills game Sunday, just to feel like I'm there. BRING IT ON!

The Poojer Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 This Blows! if we had the plowing capabilities it would be a cake walk, but without them, it is brutal...that said...an inch + per hour is a decent storm even for CNY/WNY We've rarely gotten snow over the last 10 years or so, but we are in the midst of a semi-blizzard here right now and it's not even Christmas.

Richmond_Bills Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 13" of snow piled on my deck here in the West End of Richmond. Drove home from a couple of Christmas parties last night. A few cocktails + Unplowed Roads = Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 In Alexandria we got more than a foot of snow overnight. Last night I was playing Axis & Allies which stopped at 10 PM. I went to take my usual route home and saw three cars on side of road or partially on road abandoned and decided to take an alternate longer route with 2 lanes each direction most of the way home. It took me a lot longer but I got home safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 and milk..... and eggs.. After all blizzards mean it is French Toast time....geesh. Although I am glad I bought groceries on Wed. Somewhere I read that PopTarts are the number one consumed 'food' during storms/power outages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 lewp--i have heard that WV is a great place to live...cheap housing etc. You concur?? Tcali...yes WV has several positive living aspects to it. Low taxes, low cost of housing, low crime rate. The weather is mild, well except for last night and today. Lots of sports and outdoor activities are available. Health care is OK from my experiences. Transportation is a negative issue as is the education system. If you have kids of school age, look for a private school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Calling for 2 feet around me in NOVA. We've already got about 15. This blows, I was hoping based on early week forecats to go out golfing today. I guess that isn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a really good price right now playing golf although the golf carts might not be available since they do not have snow tires. At the golf range nearby they were playing with yellow balls on Friday night. Water traps are real different when there is snow on the ground.

Still awaiting the first flakes here --- should be any minute. I did my 'stocking up' this morning. Chestnuts, Dogfish Head, and a sled to take my little on once the storm gets here.
