Anybody else caught in the big Eastern snowstorm?

[BeMused]

^ROFL!! ThAt must be PAINFUL

THe storm FINALLY caught up to us in New England. Looks like we're not gonna get as much as you folks southward did though.

Mike, I'm just south of Pennsylvania right now, and most of the state got quite a bit of snow. I imagine he's in the Filthydelphia area, which got over a foot. The wedding may very well be postponed.

Filthydelphia, huh?

On a side note my US brethren may be able to answer a question for me. My boss has gone home to Pensylvainia (sp) and is getting married on Saturday (either today or yesterday I can't remember with the time differences). Is it snowing hard there?

Philadelphia got nearly 2 feet of snow and Glen Foerd is in Phila. If the wedding is today (Sunday) they might have a chance, as many of the main roads have been cleared. If it was Sat. then they've got a lot of leftover fois gras and champagne..

alfaPA your pictures are beautiful. The train station resembled a Christmas card

Thanks, it's one of the Victorian stations and built in 1870. Some nice details and a 3 min from my front door. From there I can be in Phila. in 15 min, DC or NYC in around 90 min.

Those pictures literally make me physically ill. That's how much I despise snow.

I would LOVE to have all that snow!

Looking at theatreboi's pictures, I was honestly imagining myself being there, and getting dressed up in heavy clothes and wellies, gloves, bonnet, and scarf, and then running outside and rolling around in it and burying myself in it!

*books a holiday to the area worst affected by the snowstorm*

I am in Massachusetts, some areas here received 20 inches.

Dicking through the snow,
With a horse-hung open gay...

Love the snowdick pic.

Some poor JUBBER got caught in the snow...

Any guesses as to whom it might be?

It could be Piggy!! He's missing...

I just saw something interesting on 9 News (Denver news)...

Everybody thinks of Denver as being cold and snowy, right? The ideal place to have a White Christmas?

Wrong!

In Denver, over the past 105 years, there has been snow on the ground only 35 times, and falling snow only 12 times on Christmas Day.

Anyway ... there's only snow in a few shady areas here. So, yeah, I'm not caught in the big Eastern storm. We'll get ours, but not right now. Check back in March.

Oh, but Mr. Hotdog, did you forget Christmas 2006?

OMG, how could I forget that? Here's the scene outside my house, after the wind blew it into 5' deep drifts!

I thought it was going to much worse. It snowed for hours, but only just a few inches. I was prepped to be snowed in until Monday. Had a bunch of firewood ready, food and what not. That hyped up snow storm turned out to be mild in my area. But I'm definitely not complaining.

I've noticed over the years that when bad weather is predicted for my area (Memphis), if I go out and stock up on food, batteries, dog food for the dogs, kerosene for the kerosene lamps, etc., it rarely does anything bad that lasts more than a day or two.

Usually, it's when I don't make any preparations at all, that the sky opens up and there's enough snow and ice to keep me housebound for a week.

Good God, NedNickerson! You can control the weather!

i'm just worried about how easy we've had it so far this year. right between Buffalo and Rochester New York, and usually around this time shit is hectic outside. most of the surrounding areas have atleast a foot, but i think we've got maybe a couple inches.

 

[theatreboi]

I just thought I'd post a couple more pictures from the other day. Including ones I took for the "View outside your window" thread.

 

[NedNickerson]

theatreboi, I love this photo:

It reminds me of the Robert Frost poem,
"Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening."

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

There was an oil truck stuck in the ditch across the street from my parents' house Saturday night. They managed to tow it out Sunday afternoon.

 

[honooryuu]

when the state plowed, they made sure to plow the 2 main highways in Delaware first, then kind of grazed over the rest of the roads. some of the roads are ok to travel, but not in the same conditions of the highways. even the road in front of the hospital in Dover wasnt cleared as well as the other roads. it felt like i was traveling down a dirt road on my way to work this morning.

And the first big snowstorm to hit the Northeast this year:

I imagine there is at least one gay couple somewhere in my vast apartment complex taking advantage of the inches that have already piled up outside:

What a wonderful Post-Christmas Nor-Easter.

 

[mbamike]

Nope. I stayed home. I have not be out in a couple of days! Turned down some cock because of the weather too. Damn! That just ain't right!
