Well, I have everything I need for the weekend, the snow has started...

[MiniMe]

and it is time to hunker down with a drink. Cheers everybody, stay safe.:toast:

[Hissyspit]

1. No snow here in south North Carolina. Wish there was.

Snowing about 50 miles north.

[SutaUvaca]

6. Asheville and Waynesville socked in for sure,

but down in Murphy it was just rain for the past 18 hours. Temp is dropping now though (11:30 pm).
Coffee, movies, sausage bisquits. It's okay.

[MiniMe]

7. I am sitting right about on the 12-20" and the 15-25" line

That is why I got everything I need and plan on staying in place. Around the DC area, it could be several days before we get dug out.

[ohheckyeah]

2. We are at 8 inches and counting. n/t

[MiniMe]

3. Wow, where are you?

We just pretty much have conversational snow now, but it is snowing hard so it is starting to accumulate.

[ohheckyeah]

8. south west Virginia

surrounded by mountains. We have more coming at us from the west and the south.

[MiniMe]

9. Any where near Marion Virginia?

I went camping down there, a long time ago, and I swear somebody actually said "Y'all come back now, ya hear?" to us.

[ohheckyeah]

15. and what's wrong with

Y'all come back now, ya hear? LOL I don't sound quite that country but the southern twang is definitely there.

I live outside of Roanoke about 105 miles northeast of Marion. We live out in the country.

[MiniMe]

19. Nothing wrong with it

It was just something I wasn't used to. I heard Roanoke is getting nailed. It made the DC news. It really just started here, and the heavy snow hasn't arrived yet. Enjoy your weekend, stay safe.

We were camping at Hungry Mother State Park, it is a beautiful place.

[ohheckyeah]

20. I was just teasing. I don't get offended by stuff like that.

We certainly do sound like hicks. :-)

We used to camp at Hungry Mother State Park a lot when we were younger. We had a crazy Boxer that would sneak out of the tent and go traveling.

Yep, Roanoke is getting nailed. I'm outside of Roanoke and we are getting nailed.

[Nay]

23. Heck, we're getting nailed in Richmond, too. It started last night at

about 5 PM and hasn't stopped. We've got 10 - 12 inches right now. Nothing's moving on the streets.

I just looked out the window -- it's snowing heavily again, after a short period of icy sleet. Lovely! I'm glad I went to the library and have already stocked the fridge and pantry. I won't be going out for any reason, that's for sure.

[Oilwellian]

21. I saw you in the other thread

we must be neighbors. :hi:

[ohheckyeah]

24. I think we must be.

We got 18 inches of snow. How about you?

[gimama]

4. hot chocolate?

or sumpin' ELSE? ;) Stay warm & cozzzzy!

[MiniMe]

5. Got that too

And the makings of irish coffee. All the important stuff.

[gimama]

14. enJOY! nt

[Captain Hilts]

10. I did my hoarding too. I'm all set. nt

[MiniMe]

11. I didn't hoard, but I did pick up a few things

I didn't go to the grocery store until about 10pm. And it was still crowded then.

[Captain Hilts]

13. I just got back into town from being gone for 2 weeks, so I needed some basics. I, too,

went a bit later. No problemmo.

[TorchTheWitch]

17. I just got back and it's still crowded - shelves are empty

and the self-checkout was closed. Had to buy some kind of expensive 12 grain no salt high protein bread just to have something to smear my PB&J on. Everyone's out buying their blizzard provisions like ice cream, house plants, lawn chairs and pimple cream.

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. Cheers!

We are expecting it to start Saturday night/Sunday morning.

:toast:

[rucky]

16. I already ate all my chips and salsa.

:(

[MiniMe]

18. Bummer

What will you do tomorrow? And add cream cheese in to the salsa, just pour salsa over the cream cheese, makes a yummy snack.

[rucky]

22. As a Jew and a native New Mexican, I concur!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. The quiet before the storm here. Fridge and pantry filled. Cat food, check! Car parked so it won't

get snowed in too bad. Now off to work in my convenient cozy home office. :)

Keep safe everyone! :toast:

[xynthee]

26. It just started here!

Someone needs to tell the Weather Channel. Still saying it's cloudy.

[LWolf]

27. I fixed my broken pipes last weekend,

and 24 hours later lost power to most of my house. An electrician will be here Monday to inspect and give me a quote. Repairs will probably have to wait, since I just paid to repair the broken pipes.

I'm hoping that the rare warm front we're experiencing will hold while I'm camped out with lanterns, candles, and flashlights.

[K8-EEE]

28. 70 degrees and sunny here in L.A. but CHEERS!

And stay safe out there everybody!

[MadBadger]

29. Only got a dusting here in Jersey. Snow has picked up again after many hours of flurries.

[MiniMe]

30. It's coming, don't worry

It is still snowing here, and pretty hard right now. We have a little over a foot right now, but I am northwest of DC, and other areas have been hit harder. Make sure you have everything you need and enjoy!

[spooky3]

31. it looks as if there is nearly two feet on the ground and more coming down

in No. Virginia.

I hope we have no emergencies for a week because I probably won't be able to get my car out of the alley in that time.

[MiniMe]

32. I have 22 inches so far, and it is still snowing

I went out and shoveled once, but it was coming down so hard it didn't do much good. A kid came by this afternoon and wanted to shovel me out for $20, that was after I had shoveled. I had to tell him to come back tomorrow. Tomorrow it will be worth it as long as shoveling my car out is included in that. Today, I knew it wasn't worth it. But I support kids taking the initiative to make money.

[spooky3]

33. Agreed. I shoveled at 9, 11 and 4 - wish that kid had come by our neighborhood.

In the 2003 storm a couple of adults were willing to shovel long driveways that hadn't been touched for $50. It would be worth it now that the snow has stopped. My problem is our alley won't be plowed by the county and I can't get the car out of my driveway (which faces the alley) as long as the snow is in the alley.

It's a mess. I feel sorry for all those people stranded at the airports.
