truth on hold Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 is it really as bad as they were forecasting?
KD in CA Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Hell yeah! I was getting worried there wasn't going to be a real storm this winter. Perfect timing too being on a Friday. It started at 7am here and snowed all day, so about 8" so far and the heavy stuff is just supposed to be arriving now. We'll probably have 16"-18" by tomorrow. Will be fun to take the kids out tomorrow.
meazza Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Toronto is getting hit hard. Nice for once that it isn't Montreal On 2/9/2013 at 2:54 AM, KD in CT said: Hell yeah!

Fully stocked right here. I actually love this kind of weather because it's much warmer. It's been roughly -25 -- -30 degrees celcius for the last few weeks. When it slows like this, it stays at circa -10 which is tolerable. Man Chef Jim must be laughing right now.

Thinking that you can go anywhere usually means big trouble. That just means you will get stuck in deeper snow/sh*t and it will be harder to get out... Any place you can strap the winch to the Audi? :nana:

I don't know much about that gay frenchy Celsius stuff, but I know -30 any scale is cold. Beautiful Anchorage +30's for 6 weeks now.
Pete Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 34" last I checked. This is biggest snowfall I have seen in Connecticut

This is biggest snowfall I have seen in Connecticut Here is the official ranking for the 50 states. Florida comes in @ the lowest with a whopping 4" storm near Pensacola on March 6, 1954. MS leaps in @ #2 all the way to 15" in 1895. Some are suprsing, Illinois is only @ 24" and WI is 25". Heck Texas got 24" one time. Looks like CT will break the 28" record (Middletown, January 28th, 1897)... BUT gotta go a long way to go to break New York's 45" storm! Colorado is top dog with a 63" storm! Heck... LA and through the deep south got 16" to 20" storms @ one time or another... http://www.weather.c...w-days-20130112 Edited February 9, 2013 by ExiledInIllinois
Nanker Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 33" record in NJ - in 1899. Yet we got about 4-6" yesterday. That right there is proof of global warming.
Helpmenow Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Three inches of that white stuff near NFL films. This sucks.

jimmy10 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 It was terrible here in NC last night. Temperature in the low 50s, and significant ice accumulation. In my glass of Wild Turkey.
