Title: Impending doom!!! A winter storm...
Post by: jandmmustangs on January 25, 2015, 08:25:13 PM
With all the media hooplah about winter storm Juno I'm going to throw in my .02

Whether you get 2" or 22" winter sucks.  Hopefully everyone is stocked up on milk, eggs, and bread. Don't forget the tp too. For those who partake make sure the adult beverages are stocked up too.

My area is slated to get 5-8". That means I'll be spending a lot of time at work plowing mother natures goodness.

Stay safe my brother and sisters. This one could get ugly for NJ,NY and the better part of New England. Who wants to bet there will be a baby boom 9 months from now lol.

On a side note, another thing to stock up on is A-treat soda. They closed the doors for good this past week. I already stocked up on my Big Blue and Grapefruit soda.

While I hate to see anyone get hammered by anything more than a couple inches of snow..I can honestly say I'm glad it's not the midwest...that said...I repeat...you all be safe and careful in this .

Stay safe everyone.

Ill be enjoying my 48 degree high tomorrow and do some junkyarding. This time two years ago we went 15 days with snow and our highs below zero. I love Utah.

I'm in 24-36 land with a dumpster in my driveway that is supposed to be removed tomorrow so I can put the cars in it and not get fined.....You're to have your vehicles off the street during plowing where I'm at.

I picked up a cheap fixer-upper snowmobile back in November, and it's *almost* done with the fixer-upper-ing needs :hick:
If they declare a snow emergency (not thinking they will here, maybe in Demon's area)...I'll be cruisin' around on the roads with it :burnout:
As well as being obnoxious drifting everywhere I have space to do so in the daily.

Meh. It's just a little snow. Like Daminc said...there's already been 34 feet or some shiznit. LOL

And y'all can keep it...I'm ready for daiseys, lawn mowing, honeybees, wrens chirping, and tornader warnings. :)

Sucks to be you guys.  We've had a very mild winter here so far.  Only a couple dustings which is really weird.

We're supposed to get a foot or so with 70mph wind driving it. It'll be our first snow storm this winter. The plow is ready.

Oh, and:

Oh shiznit!!!! It's another Polar Vortex!!  Grab your panties and scream!!!  Seriously, there must be nothing else like bombings, mass suicides, and even the government is not shaging up big enough to top a snow storm that the NE is pretty much used to getting a couple times a winter....I love our "news" channels and all their "award winning reporting".

Might be pretty serious...I think at least three states have put a ban on travel. NYC has stopped all mass transit as of 11PM last night.

We got 2 and half feet of snow in the Blizzard of February 2011, and it really screwed shiznit up here. We couldn't leave the property for 3 days straight...it was on the 4th day that they cleared our road and the neighbor came down with his tractor and plowed out our driveway. Not that there was anything open to go to anyway...I think my work was about it...they called me, asked if the supervisor could make it out to my house to pick me up, as he had a lifted 4x4. I said "dude, we got drifts 6 feet deep, and the road by the mailbox is packed in with enough snow to bury a school bus." I got those 3 days off with no point...and no pay.

I'd say what the Island is getting tonight and today and tomorrow is going to be worse than what they've had in some years.

I remember that storm. We got 22 inches here. Had 6+ feet drifts in my driveway. One advantage of living in a major metropolitan area is that by the next day the roads were clear and everything was open.

Not to poop in anyone's Cheerios but we got nothing overnight here.

We got 5-6", mostly ice pellets which didn't even drift around. Seems the surest way to avoid a blizzard around here is to forecast one...

We got around 14-15 inches.  Apparently 3 more is on the way tonight.  The wind actually kept my roof clear so I was happy about that.
