Pete_C Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 It's headed this way. One band is coming of Lake Erie and the other band stretches the whole length of Lake Ontario. North of me is expecting over 2 feet and they are not sure how bad my area will get hit.We got over an inch of rain on Friday/ Saturday (thunderstorms) leaving us just under an inch below normal for the year so far. We are expecting more rain Thursday (hence the low high), and then a nice weekendSeven day forcast67 63 48 52 60 68 69 38 50 42 38 40 45 50Today, Wed,Thurs, Fri, Sat Sun , Monday.Definitely will have to figure something out to grill on Sunday if it is as nice as it looks like it will be.Maybe break out the rotisserie and make rotisserie chickens over the grill.

TheTerrorist_75 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Looks like the main load got dumped up north. The band will move south and give us a measly 3"-8" later today. The wind is making it a tad chilly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozodog Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Lake effect dumped loads closer to the lake, like poor Liz. We got less than an inch. Very cold and clear today. I hope the clouds stay away for the eclipse tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 must be snow in the forecast. Got stuck behind a salt truck on the way to school and had to drive through wet brine. I hope something gets that crap off the road soon so I can run my car through an undercarriage wash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isteve Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Another 8" of the white stuff last night... make it stop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbynichols Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Spring has been with us for over a week now. We expect maybe one more slight snow before summer...The urban legend around here is that we always get snow on the dogwood blossoms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Another 8" of the white stuff last night... make it stop.Same here. 8" of that lovely wet, heavy crap last night. Spring should be here by June. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honda_Boy Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 March 2nd = abso-friggin-lutely beautiful day. Felt great, drove with the windows down. Ran the car through a brushless automatic to get the salt off (might hand wash tomorrow to get rid of water spots, exhaust carbon and brake dust). What a gorgeous day. I hope there's more to come.

TheTerrorist_75 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 My partner in the contracting business is doing a favor by delivering furniture for a friend to Placentia, CA near San Diego. He asked me to plot a route that took him through the warmer section of the country. I sent him from NY to Tennessee by 81 S then I-40 W to California. I called him early this morning to find out he was 95 miles from Bristol. I just had to tell him beware of tornados and the 1 foot of snow in Oklahoma City. His reply can't be posted. hahahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 ... His reply can't be posted. hahahaha Ha ... About the only thing worse than being stuck in bad weather, is heading INTO bad weather. That awful feeling you get as conditions rapidly deteriorate.----- True to predictions, last night's rain's turning to snowy conditions (with that very specific sound against the siding, a sort of "tinkling," as the rain turns to sleet).

blim Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 March came in like a lion! Ohhhh, I forgot all about that. March 1st was sunny, March 2 broke a heat record at 56 (only 5 foot high snowbanks now!). Today it's winded, rained and now snowing but still mild. That means the end of March is gonna be crummy. Crap. Crap. Crap. Another Crap.Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Pretty much the same warning as baker7's area here. Doesn't look to be as bad as the ice storm of April 2003. I'm ready. Fresh batteries in the boombox and flashlights, cell phone fully charged, large candles placed in strategic areas, coffee premade so all I have to do is warm it on the gas stove and I moved my trucks from areas near the big trees and power lines.

Honda_Boy Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Oi, it's frickin below freezing here now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 That wasn't bad. I looked outside early this morning and didn't really see any ice. I grabbed my bucket of calcium chloride flakes just in case and stepped out the door. &@%#$$ You would think I'd learn to put my glasses on.After sliding for a short distance I dusted my walks and driveways with the flakes. After finishing and going back inside for my coffee I looked out the window, with my glasses on, and notice that large snow flakes started falling. Looks like I timed things just right. Now all thats left is to scrape the ice off my trucks and wait for the city to sand and salt the roadways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
