Massive winter storm comming our way!
Dec 7th, 2009 at 12:07pm
 
Just did all my grocery shopping.  We are supose to get 12 inches of snow plus maybe more and blizzard and whiteout conditions Tues and Wed.  I canceled my physical therapy apt for Wed.  I don't want to drive if I dont have to.  I love the snow.  Wish I could still downhill ski.  After I blew my knees out skiing I just dont have it in me any more.  Stay safe friends I here this storm is going to make a mess on a good portion of the us this week.

Stay safe everyone, and off the Wisconsin roads if you can.

How is this one different than any of the other major winter storms we've all been through?

No difference.  This is Wisconsin, for pity's sake.  That's why I have snowshoes to enjoy.  Though with the last two winters being record breakers here, it would be nice to catch a break this year.

My sisters place in Auburn CA and they normally get snow, but my niece was playing in 3” of the stuff today.
Too bad I am at sea level and it has not snowed here since 1976.

Christy,

I hope you make it home safe and sound very, very soon.


It hardly ever snows here anymore.  It seems like it did when I was a kid.  We are just going to get rain.

You all be safe and build a snowman for me!

We're "stuck" in it every year. It all depends on your definition of "stuck." When life gives you lemons....

About a dozen states are affected. 

All I did to prepare was buy a couple gallons more of milk.   Oh, and some lettuce. Smiley

To this I would prefer to add crushed mint leaves. But we're part and parcel on the same page.

The day I add a green leafy vegetable to my bourbon will be the day I put a lime in my Pabst Blue Ribbon.

That's only if you were to hold a gun to my head - I've had a julep, and I don't mind them. Given my druthers, it would be bourbon and ice.

Ice and bourbon?  Like in the same glass?

I think we've had about 8" in Omaha. But airport closed early. So I was supposed to continue on to MA but since storms are headed east I decided to go back west. Hoping to be back in San Diego tomorrow night. Meanwhile, after 3 glasses of wine...life isn't so bad tonight. Wink

Fortunately where I live we have only had 2 blizzards that I know of.

1967 there was 6 feet of snow, it took 4 days to clear the road.

1996  There was only 4 feet, so it only took 2 days to clear.

We had had a bunch of nor'easters that have caused large drifts but the over all snow fall wasn't that much. Oswego NY had one lake effect storm that dumped 12 feet.
