Great Snow 1717

Not related to the storm but related to winter weather.....Today is the 63rd anniversary of The Day The Music Died...

Agree

You get an A+ for vocabulary!!

1) The world is ending newscasts 2) Schools close for Friday without even waiting to see if there is any ice/sleet/snow on Friday morning 3) The same people who filled 4 shopping carts with groceries prior to the blizzard do the same tonight or tomorrow. Some may even have groceries left in their vehicles from pre blizzard shopping. 4) Bags of ice melt become worth more than Bitcoin 5) The Weather Channel flies in as many people as possible including people who do not even work for the Weather Channel. 24/7 coverage. Mike Seidel isn't blown over by the wind. 6) Someone on the forum mentions that his wife has thrown him out of the house after his wish for a complete collapse of the power grid has come to fruition. Outside of those it will be a very typical day!

Just based on past experiences the worse icing events in the Merrimack Valley area have occurred during late afternoon and into the night.

Keep in mind that the major icing occurred overnight in 2008. This past Christmas it took awhile for the ice to accumulate because it was during the day. I think it would have been different if the xmas icing event had occurred later in the afternoon or evening.

Don't look out the window...

I'm liking this one for the potential for wintry weather.

Back in the day the TV/radio mets would always mention the snowpack in situations like the one expected on friday. The popular term was "outdoor refrigerator"

At this time I wouldn't both much stock in any of the models

ok but are you a fan of the Navy??

Nickleback or Bieber....hmmm that's a tough one. Can I get back to you after the Navgem run???

George's favorite model is being torn to shreds the last 2 days....George will make those critics pay

They will still help to absorb some of the water. As will keeping the area warm and as dry as possible.

The dams may help your neighbors.

These work great for absorbing water and preventing damage. Quick Dam 5 ft. Flood Barriers (2-Pack) QD65-2 - The Home Depot

Is that very tiny eye like hole right over your home???

Do you mean Rhode Island???

Is anyone else wondering if George is on the phone trying to convince the Navy to conduct an airstrike on Tip's place???

It's why I wrote that Tip should be the one to start the thread...

Tip only!

it is a joke about how long it can take to restore power in NH....

Agree. Nothing worse than an extended power outage. All of the friends and family members now have generacs.

Next time you steal our snow we're coming for it!!
