Well, they have certainly scared the shite out of everybody here about that storm.

[Are_grits_groceries]

If anybody is on the roads before April, I will be surprised.

I am in worst part of it on maps. We are under a winter storm warning.
It really could take down power lines and such.

[Siwsan]

1. Having just endured a month of hellish weather, I hope the best for you

Since I have NO desire to ever suffer through another extended power outage, I just had a generator hard wired into the house so now I can keep the fireplace insert and water pump going and the sump crock empty. I figure with the weather weirding out at such a ridiculous level, I'll eventually get my money worth out of that purchase.

2. I'm curious, what happpened to the last snow you all got?

is it still on the ground?

[Glitterati]

5. Long melted

It was in the 60s the weekend after the snow.

[notadmblnd]

8. Was it wet when it melted?

Did all those nuts down there who thought it was special demon snow sent by O'bama to terrorize them- heads explode when they saw it melt?

[Glitterati]

9. LOL, yes, it was VERY wet

And, no, it didn't convince the whack jobs that it was real snow.

Just yesterday, a freak from my neighborhood posted a glass of "melted snow" he put in the freezer on Facebook to prove it was Obama snow because it was milky.

There people are just plain idiots. Fools. Gullible fools.

[2pooped2pop]

16. still on the ground in Indiana n/t

[notadmblnd]

35. lol..ours isn't melting either.

[alfie]

3. Same here in the NE Georgia mountains

I'll be fine if we don't lose power. My cupboards, fridge and freezer are always good for several days or even weeks. But with an all electric house, don't know what I will do for heat if we get the ice they are calling for.

[Glitterati]

6. Thank goodness, I have natural gas heat

although the blower on the furnace is electric, the fireplace and the kitchen stove are natural gas.

We may end up confined to the front of the house after closing off the bedrooms, but we won't freeze and I can still cook.

[NutmegYankee]

7. Grab a kerosene heater

Use the 1-K clear kerosene and you should be all set for heat.

[Abq_Sarah]

28. I second that

I bought my first Kerosene heater when I lived in north Georgia. Now, I wouldn't be without one.

[broiles]

13. We too live in an all electric house.

So we installed a couple of pellet stoves and bought a generator to run the blowers, a few lights and the refrigerator.

[Glitterati]

4. Same here. They're predicting 6 inches of snow for me tomorrow

then adding the stuff for Wednesday and Thursday on top of that.

According to them, it's gonna get really ugly.

Since it's for 1:30 tomorrow, I fully expect the 4th doctor appointment I've had canceled since January 23.

[Aerows]

10. Oh Lord

Not a bad storm again.

Have we not had a bad enough winter in the South?

[Rex]

11. I am getting sick and tired of one day getting up to 75 then the next day it is 40 all day.

Really fucking with my health.

[Aerows]

17. This one could be filed under

"Oh, fuck, not again."

[Rex]

18. I hear that!

The weather this years is CRAZY! Can only imagine what next year will be like!

[Glitterati]

12. Evidently, Mother Nature thinks not.

This one is gonna be a multi-day event. It will start snowing tonight, switch to freezing rain tomorrow then stop for a little bit and start freezing rain again all day Wednesday into Thursday morning.

We're going to have snow covered over with ice over 3 days.

[Aerows]

14. You aren't at the Winter Olympics in Russia?

Well, hey, here's some more snow for you!

[Jenoch]

19. It was 61° today in Sochi.

[Aerows]

23. LOL

Russia is warmer than the Deep South. Classic.

[Jenoch]

34. They do call it the Russian Riviera.

Sochi is on the Black Sea and has palm trees and has a humid subtropical climate the same you have on the Gulf, however Sochi is about 15 degrees farther north in latitude. The big difference is the snow cappd Caucus Mountains 30 minutes outside the city.

[NutmegYankee]

15. Is this the system that might become a Nor'easter in New England?

That is scheduled for Thurs.

[Glitterati]

20. Part of it, probably. There are actually 2 storms back to back

One starting in the wee hours of the morning tonight, followed by a new storm system Wednesday.

It's the Wednesday storm that is going to deliver the ice here.

[PeaceNikki]

21. in the south???! um, we've had 3 polar vortex events so far up north.

It's not just the south. Damn near the whole country has taken huge hits this stupid winter.

[Aerows]

22. I know, you folks up North

have been hammered. Here in the South, this is "What in the hell is that white stuff falling from the sky?" weather.

Except now we are like "Oh my God, not this again!"

[PeaceNikki]

29. I hear ya. Stay safe! I know you folks don't have the equipment and experience

driving in and cleaning up the mess. I also know your homes and pipes are not insulated for such events and that what is a pain our asses can be devastating down there.

Hang in there, it can't last forever!!!

[Aerows]

31. My God, I hope not LOL!

Same to you, PeaceNikki, hang in there and stay warm!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

24. They are forecasting 6 - 8" up here in Philly by Thurs.

All with sleet and freezing rain on top.

[Bluenorthwest]

25. Just dug out from the first ice storm I've ever seen, trees are down all over the place and many

people lost power and are still without. What a freaking thing. I'm ready to move to Maui.

[Glitterati]

26. Ice storms are horrible

There's just no way to deal with the ice and the damage it does to trees and above ground power lines.

For nearly 3 hours now, the local news station has been repeating......."prepare for massive power outages."

[malaise]

27. Stay safe

[dixiegrrrrl]

32. Can I fax myself to your house, please???

I moved down here to avoid winter.

[malaise]

33. I know what you mean

It's crazy isn't it.

Try the fax and they stay warm and safe.

[spanone]

30. this winter the weather folks have acted like they work for faux...
