They forcast 6 - 10 inches of snow by noon on Sat. here.. oh well guess its winter. Sat. is also the worlds largest ice fishing contest, expecting almost 20,000 people on a lake for 3 hours. First place is Ford 4 wheel drive new pickup. 100th place is $10,000 and awesome prizes inbetween too. It raises nearly $200,000 for local charity work.
Here is our area radar for watching the snow. ;)

Guess I'll hafta fix the carb on the snowblower when I get home instead of working on the camaro tonight, then spend 3 hours moving white stuff off 2 driveways and 500 feet of sidewalk tomorrow instead of working on the camaro...

I hear ya, jim. What you are getting is headed here, then it is going to intesify off the coast.
it's a bumber!

I know I'll get blasted for this,but I wish we could get some snow in GA.All you guys who want to get away from it come here and we'll have a shop raising like the omish do barns. O.K. who's in graemlins/beers.gif

It's going to be a great weekend here in the 70's and I'm headed for LACR or California Speedway to watch some drag racing. You know there were some high clouds yesterday but they went away.

I wont be fishing, been there, done that lol.
Firing up the snow blower Sat. morning and do a few turns in 3 driveways on our little road. They plow, I throw the curled up edges back away so the driveways dont shrink over the winter.
The snow keeps our septics from freezing, I love it.

They said we would be getting several inches of snow about1 1/2 weeks ago...we got a very light dusting and it melted immediately. This week has been around 60 degrees! I know it will freeze again before winters done...Sorry about the sub temps back there Jim. Did you get the RS all tucked away for the Winter?

Dano

Callin' for 6-12" here in North Eastern Maryland along with 20-30mph gust. With windchill 0*f, and I gotta work Sunday... I'll be on the waterfront... lucky me. graemlins/sad.gif


BTW, snowing as we speak,and has been for half an hour or so, everythings white already.

20" to 30" predicted for Boston area tonight!!

Just a few flurries so far here on the Jersey coast. Waiting to be called into work, I plow snow for the county and also the mechanic. I have seen so many snow fall totals on the news who knows how much we are going to get, But it doesn't look good.

Started snowing lightly in central NJ about 1/2 hour ago. Snowfall estimates are still 10"-15" in my area.

Kids are ready to go tubing and I am dreading the shoveling smile.gif

Hoping to finish up my garage door conversion to move cars and get my wifes car in the garage before the really heavy stuff happens tonight.

Ok guys, here is what it looked like last Jan 04 for the worlds largest ice fishing contest.
See anyone you recognize? smile.gif

We've got 13" on the ground and expecting about 4" more. Was heading for Grand Rapids today, but heading for the fireplace now. Not even going to snowblow till it stops. Maybe tomorrow. Kevin

Click, are you SURE Waldo is in that picture...I spent 3 hours this morning and still can't find him :D Actually, looks like a blast! That's a lot of people. Hope the ice is thick! :eek:

Dano

our snowstorm wimped out! They said 12-16, we got 4". Time to go out and move it with the shiny new 6 hp, 6 speed plus 2 reverse, 22" craftsman snowblower I bought last night to clear a foot. Almost seems like a waste of gas.

I feel your pain. They're saying 15-20" by sunday morning. I have the snowblower in the garage pointed out!

Wearing shorts and a T-shirt, working in the garage today. Got Fox News on and it looks cold out East. Had to use the AC in the car the other day, it was 87 outside. Aint life grand?

If a crack starts in that ice someone is in some big trouble because there is alot of people out there. Misty rain and about 35 degree's here in S.C.

Ice is around 2 feet thick or slightly more after our -38 last week. They wont hold the event if its too thin, insurance and DNR watche it pretty close.
Notice no cars in the fishing area? They allow service vehicles to deliver to the admin. tents but they go in and come back out. No parking in that area. After the event, fish houses go back out there and folks drive all over the ice safely, most of the time.
They use 47 school buses to brings folks from Brainerd International Raceway where they park everyones cars and trucks. They expect around 15,000 people this year. amazing
Its a well run Jaycee Project for charity.
This is Sunday paper front page pic of folks walking out onto the lake from the bus stop at shore. The wind is 25mph and wind chill is -20 with the new snow drifting as you can see on the 'road' they are walking that had already been plowed 4 times today. Notice the portable pottys in the background too, imagine parking your a$$ on a zero degree plastic seat? After peeling off 4 layers of clothes? Are we nuts?

I can't beat those numbers, thank God!

But Uncle Sam sent us home early today due to heavy lake effect and those storms coming up from PA. The roads are just deathtraps. It took me 20 minutes to make the 7 minute ride home. Can't salt because of the below zero wind chill and they say to expect another 12".
I made my soldiers who come from the southern tier and Buffalo areas stay at the armory tonight. That's OK, they have a PlayStation and beer.
;)

Man you guys are getting hit with snow and cold and out here in AZ it's actually starting to warm up again!! It was 80+ the last couple of days according to the thermometer in my truck.

We're buried here in Chicago too. 12" so far and steady rising graemlins/sad.gif

You must be further north than me, we only got about 6" here in the far southwest suburbs.

Misty rain and about 35 degree's here in S.C.

What part of SC do you live in.I'm in Augusta GA

Looks like we got around 20-24" of snow here in central NJ. Glad we shoveled half of it yesterday so today wasn't so bad. Now it's drifting and blowing around like crazy.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if a Camaro popped up like that under the snow!

36 plus inches in mass. drift 6 feet high at my front door.

It missed us. We were all set for 6" to 10" and all we got was cold. I was all set to put my new snow blower to the test.

Its cold, but still :D , no snow(not yet) neener neener neeners graemlins/waving.gif
