    Looks like we are getting 24" to 30" and a driving means no fun in the car so I've stocked up and food and drinks for some cooking and drinking. I got this beer, seemed right for the event! LOL Storm King Stout - Victory Brewing Company

    Looks like a good choice!

    Hope the power stays on. Are you prone to storm-aided power outages in your area?

    With all the hype this storm is getting it sounds like the end of the world in the North East.

    Probably drizzle some and blow over...

    I sold up and lease a place with modern underground power supplies so I hope I have power. Now I sit and watch the complex staff doing the digging/snow removal. LOL Yes I was thinking they are making a big deal out of this as the storm is the only news worthy subject right now. Beats the deflated ball issue news.

    Anyone else in the storm?

    Should be fun...
    2 feet of snow forecast...give or take 6 inches depending on the station...
    Have the Generator tuned (just a little 3000 watt unit, but best $200 pep boy rebate deal I ever bought!!) and ready....
    But i'll take a blizzard anytime...
    Beats a wildfire, mudslide, etc....that stuff can kill you!!
    only thing we have to do is stay warm!! Actually makes for some good family time!!

    This is all media BS. We are getting very little snow just outside Philly 3-6 inches and they have downgrade NYC to 18 inches from 36 inches plus.

    Blah blah blah it has been snowing her since 8 PM last night and we have only got about an inch so far if that.

    One thing is still true about the snow storms, inner city crime drops to almost nothing when the city is covered in snow.

    Yup...storm has shifted north....but as it hits the warm water and cold air...boom!! Its getting bigger...
    That's why Alaska was such a good place to live...
    MOST crime was from drunk folks shooting stuff up...Sure some, actually lots of poor folks, but the cold kept the rifraff away....

    Or maybe people have learned if you rob a bank or mug someone you can follow the footprints in the snow and a get away car will get stuck in the snow. :lol:

    Of maybe is just too cold for the riffraff to come out. :rolleyes:

    Looks like quite a storm.

    Washed the A4 and Tacoma yesterday, then grilled and had a late lunch on the patio. It was a bit warmer today, should be mid 70's tomorrow.

    Having lived in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York (with good memories of each), we're sure enjoying San Antonio weather.

    Stay warm and safe!

    Does this really look like the snow storm of the century? No it called a regular Winter in the North East.

    FYI these number were 3x higher yesterday.

    Always is. I love the CNN reporters talking about the end of the world while they're standing on an inch of snow. :rolleyes:

    Yeah hurry up and go food shopping. Buy all the Milk Bread and eggs so everyone can have French toast tomorrow.

    Schools let out early today and everything is already cancelled for tomorrow.

    FYI this is only the 15th year of the current century and they are calling this storm the "Storm of the Century" How in the hell can you not think we will not have another really bad storm in the next 85 years of this century? Idiots

    Next week they will call for a dusting and we will get a foot plus.
