N'oreaster That Will Be A Blizzard

[ddnene]

I heard on the news last night that there were quite a few car wrecks on the major roads in your neck of the woods.

People are idiots here… they refuse to slow down w/ice on the roads. I try and stay home if at all possible...

Lucky ducks, all of you. Its freakin 70 in TX today. Shoot me. Winter my butt. I'd be happy with an inch, send us some this way!! Stay safe all getting extreme snow!!

I will not forget leaving PA and moving to Texas. I had a sled hanging in the garage and my classmates asked what that farm implement was that was hanging in the garage. Well I missed the snow then. Now snow is a four letter word. I will most def post some pictures if we get what they predicted. It is a back breaking experience moving wet snow. I will move some snow before I go to bed Friday night and then move some more during various times on Saturday as opposed to one of my neighbors trying to move it all at once. I tried to talk my wife into one of those toys Lewis has as mentioned in an earlier post.

So young Texan...enjoy your nice comfy temp and stay tuned for some pics. Bentley and Jewel say hi to Tyson.

I'd love to see the pictures, I'm a born & raised New Yorker - still wondering how the hell I ended up in TX. But yeah, I miss the snow for sure. Hugs to Bentley & Jewel

You GOTTA get a snow blower - even if you only use it once a year it is worth every penny!

I agree wholeheartedly not to mention the driveway and sidewalk.

I agree with you wholeheartedly as well. Well, I am just sort of old fashioned and need some exercise.

You get exercise by walking behind the plow!

I agree. And for those who need to know how to be prepared for this storm (at least in my neck of the woods) here is a link to the CDC preparedness and response: Preparedness Checklists|Winter Weather

 

[harveyspecter]

hope you include beer as part of the essentials. Did not see in your list though.
