Blizzard!!
 
Ole Man Winter is certainly not giving up yet this year. As I gaze out my window, there is about a foot of snow & it is still falling hard. I know that many are experiencing the same weather right now. Be safe, be careful, & stay warm all. Just remember-spring in just around the corner...or maybe around the block.... But sooner or later it will arrive. Think I'm gonna find that Groundhog & make him walk the plank!!!! :psmiley27:

Sven Osymthe 02-06-2010 05:21 AM

Its snowing a lot here too, hope everyone stays safe and warm.

Lizzy... leave the groundhog alone!

Li Wildtimbers 02-06-2010 06:12 AM

want Cujo to go pounce on it for ya Lizzy?

Truesilver 02-06-2010 06:13 AM

The groudhog wasn't afraid of his shadow... he just was so shy it looked like he was afraid :P

JM Ohara 02-06-2010 07:03 AM

I've got over a foot out here already and more coming tonight and well into tomorrow. Glad I have bottled water an a well stocked fridge and freezer!! Now, all I need is a snowblower!

Stay warm, stay dry, stay safe guys!!

combatlizzy 02-06-2010 03:17 PM

State of Emergency called here along with worst snowstorm of the century!!!! And it just keeps falling! Many have lost power which means no heat...and unfortunately there are areas with more snow than we have gotten!

Come here Punxatawney Phil---->

Captain Whale 02-06-2010 03:37 PM

Sorry Sven but I am with Lizzy on this one. The little rat is going for a swim! Only 6 inches here yesterday with 2-4 more on tap for Sunday.

Here Philly philly philly!! O_O great now I am hungry too (mmmm Philly Steak and Cheese)

Captain Whale

combatlizzy 02-06-2010 03:45 PM

We are at about 2 feet as of this time & it just keep coming. Forget the war sloops! We need sleighs!!

JM Ohara 02-06-2010 04:19 PM

30 inches fallen already and still looking at another 5 to 9 inches here. Tree fell in the back yard, but it's little and didn't break the fence. Oh, an a hanger collapsed at Dulles airport! Even better, just in time to finish shoveling out, on Wednesday we're getting sleet. To add to 3 feet of snow. Uh, anyone wanna come help me shovel?

James Bladefury 02-06-2010 04:57 PM

30 Inches here also, deck is covered, it is drifting against my doors. Snow has covered everywhere. Lost power early this morning... anyone have a snow blower?

Basil Dreadflint 02-06-2010 08:49 PM

Since I live in the same area as Lizzy, I won't go into to much detail about the state of emergency.

This photo was from early this morning. We've gotten about 4 more inches since then.

How many of you got up at 6 AM and shoveled snow in the BACK yard so that the dog cold go potty?

I had to and she still won't go! :laughks2:

combatlizzy 02-06-2010 11:31 PM

Now Lizzy has family w/o power or heat for hours. Found a warming center for them-they just gotta get there!

Strider 02-06-2010 11:35 PM

It will be ok , let the groundhog make it this time.

Here there is no snow, but it's soooooooo cold :(.

Why not let the dog go on the snow? No reason to waste energy shoveling to get to grass...in my opinion.

Captain Whale 02-07-2010 04:23 AM

This ol' Whale sends out prayers for all you pirates being snowed in. Take care of yerselves mates and be safe and warm.

Captain Whale

JM Ohara 02-09-2010 07:34 PM

http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g...m/Big_Pile.JPG

And to think, we get to add more than 10 inches later today to all of that!!

Oh, an is it just me or do I really really have a problem if those fall on the front door directly under them?

http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g...medium/013.JPG

combatlizzy 02-09-2010 07:37 PM

As much as I'd love to try this, the outlet they are plugged into is covered in snow and ice, and I'm more than a little afraid of blowing a circuit. Seeing as I'm house sitting I think that might be a bad idea. But oh how pretty I bet it would be.

lostmymarbles 02-09-2010 10:33 PM

lol...that reminds me of my winters in Alaska. Put Christmas lights on the handrails up to the front door and couldn't take em off for months. The snow formed around em. It looked pretty when I turned them on.

The Skirata Clan 02-10-2010 02:46 AM

I truly hate you all! I need snow! It's barely cold enough for me. We get 10-20 inches of rain... A year! Lots of sun and wind here. Anyone want to trade?

Crestshot 02-10-2010 03:28 AM

Jeez, I thought where I live was bad......course, most years, it usually is worse than the rest of the country......dang. Have fun with that guys!

JM Ohara 02-10-2010 06:23 AM

My brother in law has a nice fridge truck. Um, if he can dig it out I'll send ya some snow!

The Skirata Clan 02-10-2010 07:33 AM

Said truck might create a riot. Desert folks always want snow.

combatlizzy 02-10-2010 09:41 AM

JM Ohara 02-10-2010 05:11 PM

Captain Whale 02-10-2010 05:23 PM

LOL - on the way to work today I saw a big carboard sign. "Free Snow - Bring your own truck and take all you want!"

Take care you mates dealing with the big storm!

Captain Whale

JM Ohara 02-14-2010 06:33 AM

Isn't it just? I heard today that every state in the US has gotten measurable snowfall somewhere in the state, except Hawaii. What in the world is up with this winter huh?

combatlizzy 02-14-2010 08:16 PM

Well, I finally returned from the land of "Blizzards" Lost internet, phone & tv Friday morning due to ice that came crashing off the roof! Just got it fixed, but am preparing for this to be temporary cuz there is alot more ice to fall....ARGHHHHH!

Captain Whale 02-14-2010 08:56 PM

Well glad to hear you are ok Lizzy!! Aye I be hearing that too Hawke!

Captain Whale

combatlizzy 02-14-2010 09:33 PM

Thank you Captain. Just saw a family of Penguins move in-hope that isn't a bad sign...Duh!

JM Ohara 02-15-2010 12:02 AM

Wow! I hope you don't have that problem next time Lizzy! Hope things get better for everyone stuck in this soon.
