How's The Weather?

[Neesy]

This morning on the local morning news the weatherman said later in the day with the white-out snow and hurricane winds traveling will become life-threatening. Expected slippery conditions on the road, downed trees, and downed live power lines.

Road trip!

Stay off the roads unless you really need to go out

We are going to have a nice day today, heading for 48. But the next storm hitting over the weekend, starting tomorrow night into late Monday/early Tues. 4-6 inches plus high winds.

I am to the sick of winter stage.

No Spring in sight?

I know how you feel - even though I managed to get a full 7 1/2 hours sleep last night some days I think it might be better to crawl back into bed and hibernate

I will have to get home later today from work and I’ll probably stop and pick up some fast food. Baring some emergency I hope to hunker down after that.

Really odd week on the roads. I’ve been avoiding deer all week on the roads at night. And so many laying dead on the side of the roads around here. Don’t know what’s up... perhaps they sense the apocalypse, or something.

Weather was so bad here the past couple of days that I was expecting Andre Linoge to show up!

They're throwing themselves in front of cars because they're depressed?

...been an increase in deer roadkill here too.....I think it's to do with the oddball weather pattern....they're not hunkering down as much because of the cold and are roaming farther to forage.....

Maybe. But it's not just deer but the birds seem to all be going nuts and squirrels too. Yesterday I yelled at a red squirrel to chase it away from the bird feeder and instead of running away as the squirrels usually do it came up on the porch and challenged me. It won, I was the one who got chased away.

Oh man, stuck in work for another hour. Snow is coming down hard sideways and the trees are taking a beating.
It's going to be fun drive home.

The wife just called. White out in effect and you can't even see where the road is where I live. Trees down all over the place and the lights keep flickering. Looks like we're in for a fun night.

Safe travels home. Get any supplies you need.

Be extra careful when travel home. Safety vibes all the way.

Warming thoughts. Think spring--

Nasty winds and rain.

Heavy flooding around the coast.

Watching water drip out of the bottom of the electrical service panel at SwiftMom’s It’s running down the wires from the service connection and into the panel. Not much I can do until it stops raining.

Yikes, you shut the service feed to that panel? Good luck, it ain't pretty where we are at the moment!

Fun weekend. Took me almost 3 hours to get home Friday during the storm, and had to plow through over a foot of snow the snow plows had created at the entrance to our driveway. Snow drifts, downed trees and power lines made driving treacherous. Many cars slid off the road and were abandoned in farm fields. Hoped to get home with an hour of daylight to get the generator going because I knew with my luck I’d have trouble. Didn’t work out as planned. My father-in-law was at our house as we’re having two bathrooms tiled. He called the wife about 11am and said he was heading home because it was the end of the world at our place on the mountain. Wife left work about noon and got home about 12:30 just in time to the power to go out. The tile crew were thankful for the power outage so they could get the hell out of Dodge, also. Of course when I finally got home I couldn’t get the generator working and couldn’t work on it in the dark with 60mph winds. Thankfully we had the fireplace to heat the main level of the house. Let me tell you.. The 19th century sucks! 6:30 am Saturday I head out in the daylight to work on the generator. Had to drain the gas, get the bad gas out of the motor and replace the spark plug, which meant I had to disconnect the fuel tank to get to it. Took about an hour but fired it up and hooked it up to the breaker box, which meant I could selectively get power to several areas in the house. Generator was not powerful enough to run the heat pump or the hot water heater, but most everything else had power. Most important was the well pump, the water pump to force water up through the house, some lights and the power to refrigerators. Went out and took stock of the damage. We lost a 30 foot tree that was ripped out by the roots. We also lost a vertical support and railing for the entrance to the house (Still don’t know if there is any structural damage), and some gutters were bent up. The roof looks okay for the most part, but there appears to be some damage to a part of it over the garage. Got back power late Saturday because we are tied into the same grid as the elementary school down the road and because of the school our area is a priority as they can’t let the water pipes freeze. Some people in our area won’t get power back until Wednesday... Just in time for another nor’easter to hit that is forecast to dump another foot of snow on us. But some good news... the mailbox is still standing.

The storm we were supposed to get shifted and has mostly missed us. Snowing very light right now and the wind is still supposed to blow but we are escaping the blizzard conditions at least, with little snow expected to fall here.

Stay safe, everyone.
