You’re gonna end up with a higher seasonal snowfall that me. Pretty unbelievable Michael :lol:

Talked to my mom in Richmond today…said they don’t need any more snow. But she has provisions and plans to stay home.

Stay safe…

Have fun Michael! Lots of people wishing that it will push a little north too, but it doesn’t look like it!

They just updated the totals to 18 to 24 inches. I told my wife that she needs to get “her” shovel ready! :lol: :lol:

And your still able to type! Amazing! :smiley:

How are things weather wise in MD and VA today?

Get some pictures too Michael!

Wow, 30 inches of wet snow is going to do lots of stuctural damage. :frowning:

I’ll take pictures throughout the day tomorrow…I’ll post them up for you all to see!

Well 30 inches of snow is a lot !

Even here in Quebec (north) we never saw that amount of snow !

Good luck !

Only had 10 inches of snow in Brittany, France in Jan and my shed was flattened, all the best and hope all goes well.

As of 6am here in Bucks County, PA (about 30 miles NorthWest of Philly) its snowing to beat-the-band. (if thats possible). So far I have 11.3 inches of snow on the ground out of the 4-12 inches the NWS has for my area. Now if one would look at my site, the current conditions show Dry, Night Time. Tha has not once switched over to snow, or heavy snow at all during this storm.

And maybe another 6-10 inches of snow Tuesday Night and Wednesday.

Oh to the contrare…Last winter I purchased a super charged 32inch snowblower with a 12 hp engine. With 2 teenage sons inside watching their 52yo father snow-blow I sure as heck don’t want them feeling sorry for me!!!

Absolutely amazing winter storm here… 8O 8O 8O 8O

As of 8:15a.m., my unofficial “snow pole” says 26" of snow. Its still snowing hard and the NWS is forecasting 5-9" today. The wife took some digital photos and I will post some images up on my site soon! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Sounds like fun. I love snowblowing. Used mine 1x so far which is unbelievable.

@Michael

Holy Crap! The cities there are gonna be buried for a few days.

Here is one for everyone…I was woken up by the sound of “thunder” this morning!! Strange phenomenon…Local news stated that there was a “Thundersnow storm” sitting over my area… 8O :lol:
