How's everyone doing?
:cowboy:
-
Southern Delaware was to get a foot or more of snow as it was we didn't get even a flake.
-
The storm changed direction yesterday and went about 50 miles east. Consequently we only got a few inches in NE PA.
My Mom and Step-dad live on Cape Cod, and as of about an hour ago they had ~10" and was predicted to receive another 10-14".
My mom told me that about 10,000 people have lost electric but they still had it. They will loose it as they always do during a Nor'easter so they are prepared.
She also told me that they shoveled a spot on their patio for the dog to do her business and the snow had a lot of moisture in it and it was clinging to tree branches. Combine this with the consistent 25 mph wind and the 35+ mph gusts I suspect the electric will go out before this is over.
Last, she told me that the local weather station was predicting sun and unseasonable cold weather tomorrow by noon. It will not matter as it typically takes 2-3 days for they to get their electric back.
They do have a generator but my Step-dad forgot to empty out the gas this past spring so the carburetor is clogged. I explained to him how to fix it but told me he couldn't be bothered.
The only thing I am worried about is that one of them may kill the other as they live down at the end of a 3/4 mile long private drive. They tend to be at the bottom of the plowing list of the guy they contracted to do the job so they will be getting on each others nerves shortly. I will call them again around 1600 hrs to see how they are doing and defuse any squabbles. :DrillSgt:
My house is on the water in RI. As I recline at our cabin in NE PA my neighbor told me that he had moved MrsMac's Mini Cooper to higher land in case flooding occurs. The next high tide is at ~1330 hrs but it is only 3.3 feet. To give you an comparison; during spring tides they can be as high as 6' where our house is. It was a high spring tide that did us in when Hurricane Sandy came to visit in 2012.
In all honesty though, it is New England and we expect it to snow, blow a gale out of the east on occasion and in January & February - Be cold. :o Despite the news media, it's OK... :thumbsUp:

Rhode Island gets snow?????? Whoda thunk!

60 miles N of the Ga/Fl border on I-75. Like it lots more.
Lived down in Fl for 6 years, half hour N of Tampa. This is much better. Bit cooler in winter but hot summer, 100 daytime there and here, but at night 85 dead calm there, 75 light breeze here. That is enough difference to make it cooler winters good up here. :dance:

Oh believe me I spent enough time in GA to know how it is.
I'll stick to dead calm and humid thanks. Lol, the winters in GA/Tennessee/Alabama are a different animal from everywhere else. The humidity changes everything when the temp drops.
People that have lived up north just don't get it. They think because they have 0 degrees and snow every once and awhile that their state is cold.
BS enjoy a cold day in one of the states I listed above. Humid day turns into FML at night.

Sitting here on the UK South Coast wondering if we will EVER get some snow........ LOL
-
Snow is falling again.......
-
Gadget, my cousin up in Aberdeen got snow over the weekend. You are just in the wrong spot ;-)
Hondokov, we got ~10" more yesterday. We are supposed to get 3" more tomorrow and then another 8-10" on Sunday-Monday.
Well it is February after all ;)
-
We got some finally off and on over the last Few days. It didn't stick around long though.
-
Well, mild steady rain stopped early am. Clouds broke and bright sun, a few clouds but lows 60s and sunny.
Tomorrow same thing, uppers 60s forecast.
