Just a flurry....

[Jim Ferron]

Couple days late getting this one to bed....I wonder how many years its been since my '69 rag-top has had 17 inches of snow on it??? Hope the rest of you survived the storm.http://www.classicperformance.com/ebay_pics/cutlassnow.jpg

It's hard to believe considering how hot it was here this weekend, isn't it Bruce?

[Alss]

we &quot;only&quot; got 8 inches....just enough to knock down some trees and the wires...have not had electricity since 2 PM Sat..wood stove and generators are helping, but damm it was cold last night <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif..low of 24..saw the utility trucks today..they drove right by........

That sucks!! Luckily we have been ok here in Ohio.. The trees breaking are my biggest fear.. You don't want those things crashing through your garage/house roof or onto your car... What goofy weather patterns we have had..

The rain has been a problem here all year.. We broke 100 year records with the amount we have been getting... My back yard has flooded numerous times and still has standing water that will never dry out now until next spring/summer...

8 inches of snow here. Had to go out in the middle of the storm with a 20 foot pole to shake the snow off of our willow trees. These are 50 footers with branches bent all the way to the ground under the weight of the snow. You had to stand back as the snow fell off to avoid being catapulted into the sky. While i was outside i could hear and see all the neighbors trees shattering and fallng down. I was an eerie sound. Had to cut up a lot of broken branches for firewood.

Never lost power on our block but the next street over is still without power. We lost cable and internet, so the kids now know what it was like to live in ancient times like the 1980s.

They are on their second day of no school due to power outages.

Nothing like going out for Halloween in the snow. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

the cracking of the tree's was intense..we sat on the proch for awhile listening.....no trick or treaters here...too dark!!

I was working a flight originating out of Bradley Field, Hartford, CT. Got to the airport just after the snow started. Left 4 hours late after two De-icings. There were numerous flights diverted there from JFK, EWR and LGA. Not sure why other airlines diverted planes to an airport that was in the direct path of the storm. Could be fuel considerations.

This is the airport where JetBlue had folks stranded on the tarmac for 7 hours. The snow was very heavy and very wet.

Took this picture just after arriving for my flight. It only got worse.

Woj........Gotta be careful when you post pic's like that.....those Out West Spoiled Brats don't know what the white stuff is........

[mockingbird812]

Sure we do. That is one of them glass ball scenes that when you shake it, these little white specks float around and make everything look purdy. Right?

[CanCOPO]

I remember the white stuff from my time in Canada and 10 years working in the Arctic. But after 18 years in Singapore, 1 in Dubai and 5 in Houston I sure don't miss it. It fact it's just getting cool enough here in Texas to really enjoy cruising. I'm not as lucky as the guy I parked my 69 Z28 next to Sat night at a car show. It was a 69 Z with AC and an automatic transmission. He actually had searched and found the original Holley Quadrajet for it as well.

We got lucky with only 5&quot; of snow but I sat on the front porch listening to tree branches snapping all over the place. You could also hear the power lines surging as branches leaned on them. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. They ran all new insulated power lines on our road 2 years ago and it appears to have paid off as we never lost power. There's a lot of debris to clean up but seeing a convertible under 17&quot; of snow reminds me of having my 69 Camaro conv at college in Rochester NY. Those floating weights in the corners actually helped with traction in the snow. I never got stuck anywhere. It's just hard to believe I was out in the boat and walking around in the water past my knees last Sunday and shoveling snow this Sunday! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif

[Alss]

still no powere here..maybe todays the day!!!
