DC Tom Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Was michael bay in the store buying stuff?? It's not like the snow's going to be exceptionally loud or explode in slow-motion or have Bruce Willis or Nicholas Cage wise-cracking at it or anything.

Just Jack Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 It's not like the snow's going to be exceptionally loud or explode in slow-motion or have Bruce Willis or Nicholas Cage wise-cracking at it or anything. But you could be building a tunnel through a snow bank and have it collapse on you. Or an avalanche hits your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Forecasting 3-6 inches of snow here (Virginia Beach) for tomorrow. Major winter storm I just got back from the store. The store was packed and the shelves were emptied It's Snowmaggeddon I remember several years ago, when I lived on Long Island (sheesh, that might have been 10 or more years ago), I went to a supermarket and was shocked by what I saw. The place was JAMMED. I have never seen a grocery store half that busy. The lines for the register went most of the way down the grocery isles. Most had their carts completely packed: gallons of water, multiple packages of toilet paper, etc. Needless to say, I abandoned any hope of shopping there, but inquired on the way out, "What in hell is going on here?" The response was, "Didn't you hear? It's going to snow!" Now, this is on Long Island where snow is not all that uncommon. I can just imagine what it's like where you are.

LewPort71 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Southern WV has received 6- 8 inches of snow. S'posed to continue all day, so I'll gas up the snowblower. and yes the stores were jammed last night as peeps load up on eggs, bread and milk. I guess they will cook a bunch of French Toast.

Brandon Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 There's at least eight inches of snow on the ground here in northern Arkansas where I live. This one began exactly one year to the day after we got hit with the worst ice storm I've ever seen. Thankfully, there wasn't any freezing rain with this one, so no prolonged power outages this time.

Corp000085 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 We got about 2" of snow in Fayetteville, NC last night. Just north of us, in the RDU area, they got a few more inches. The problem though is that we're basically having a steady does of freezing rain/sleet throughout the day with temps dropping into the mid 20's. We'll have plenty of ice by the time this is over. As for people panicking, its a vicious cycle. A bunch of idiots make a run on the stores, leaving nothing for us hearty folk, thus forcing us to join in on the rush. Friggin stay off the roads people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv-Bills Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 11 so far just south of Richmond. Still snowing moderately here. This is our second 10 inch plus storm this year. I'm not sure we've had twenty inches of snow the last 10 years combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 So i am just back from the Richmond game, and a couple of funny things 1) Must have pushed 6 people out , my kids kept saying "are we helping again". Couple I had to get in the car and drive 2) We pushed one dude three times, the guy just never learned. We would push him out, he would spped off way to fast, get stuck again 1 minle down the road. 3) The snow is at 13 inches outside my door, but may have drifted a bit. 4) Grocery store was empty and well stocked at 10 this morning..they said there were wiped out of a lot of things last night. 5) Rick Majeaus is really fat now(coach for Richmonds opponet,) plus they gave two free tickets to everyone there for another game as a way to say thank you to all 500 of us there 6) God I miss the snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 At least you have your priorities straight. Just following the Mayors advice... As Mayor, Griffin was sometimes known for his outspoken personality. During the Blizzard of 1985, he recommended to Buffalo residents "go home, buy a six pack of beer, and watch a good football game. This earned him the nickname "Six Pack Jimmy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
