ztnoo 2,298 #1 Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Nor'easter part deux "It's not going to be as bad as last week's "bomb cyclone," but another powerful nor'easter is headed for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for eastern Pennsylvania to most of New England, from late Tuesday into Thursday morning. More than 36 million people live where a warning, watch or advisory has been issued. This is not the news that utility companies wanted to hear. Many are still restoring power to tens of thousands of customers in the Northeast after last week’s storm." * https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/03/06/little-more-than-year-into-trumps-presidency-merriam-webster-adds-dumpster-fire-dictionary/398748002/ https://weather.com/storms/winter/news/2018-03-04-winter-storm-quinn-snow-northeast-noreaster-coastal-storm Edited March 6, 2018 by ztnoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 24,172 #4 Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Appears that Lady Liberty is ready... Why the shovel and not a with a plow you may ask? Well - she is not a member of RS yet... you see, The Federal Government has not approved her request for wifi, so She does not have good cell service and therefore can't get the outstanding advice RS members provide in times like these...and since the National Park Service (NPS) does not allow purchases of used lawn tractors, she can't get approval for a either... hence NPS purchased a new hand shovel at the rock bottom no-bid price of $1,200,000 for this next storm...

Sarge 3,462 #10 Posted March 7, 2018 While amusing, it does reveal some of the folks that live around my neighborhood - not kidding. Hope everyone has some good seat time, stay safe and have fun. I plan to invest in a generator this year, our power never goes out unless it's extremely hot or cold weather around here and last time it cost us a couple hundred in ruined freezer meat.

cpete1 331 #11 Posted March 8, 2018 Earlier today, everybody I ran into was complaining how the snow wasn't amounting to any thing. All of a sudden we have an honest 12" outside and its still coming. Probably going to wait till tomorrow to clear things out. Got my gas, just gotta oil the chain on the blower and we're off to the races. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
