grampaw pettibone Good morning. 27 degrees and snow in Caroina. For us, this is a phenomenum and the place is just about shut down. Apparently , the interstates in the Columbia are virtually invisible with only the ROWs visible. More later

Back when I was in public school, we hardly ever had heavy snow in Upstate South Carolina. One winter we did have enough so that school was closed for three days--and we had to make them up on Saturdays. Ice storms were common, and they caused enough trouble, and any heavy precipitation caused school buses to be late since most of the roads they used were red clay with a little bit of gravel mixed in. (I just reread this paragraph and saw that my keyboard had omitted some e's; perhaps it thought the letter is overused?)
The predicted low for this morning was below ten; the actual low was about fifteen.
Tom, can you support the Southeastern Conference tonight?

Hmmm. The sun's out here in the wilds of northern New York, although there are scattered flurries in the forecast.
If the stuff down south tracks normally, we'll see little or no weather from it here.
Thanks for the tea CW - I needed that (it's still cold).

We are in the middle of a 36 hour snowfall. It is light; it is white; and it is cold. Wind & low temps to follow. Will pass it on as we finish with it.

In the meantime, the Winter Follies are in full swing here. Plenty of cars with dimbulb drivers in the ditches. Baloneyskins don't work well in snow.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Yep, we were put under a Winter Weather Advisory around 1 a.m., until 7 p.m. tomorrow night. Although, we haven't had anything start coming out of the clouds yet. Should see something by early, early tomorrow morning? Heard earlier that we're supposed to have a couple of inches of snow on the ground, by 8 a.m. in the morning, when I'll be going over for Produce/Bread, Pastry truck.
Welcome back to the fold, Justin! Haven't seen you in here for quite awhile. I hope we'll be able to see a little bit more of you in here.
And Tom, good to see you back! How are you doing, and how's the wife?
For supper tonight, we have leftover meat loaf, etc., from yesterday.
Everyone have a good evening, take care, keep warm and safe.

No use to hurry it....enjoy. We have a little bit here, so we're not in need.....

CW ; please be careful on that freezy skid stuff. I hope you can get a cinna bun and pop it in the micro to go with your coffee ~~~ comfort food ya know. We don't get much snow here in the mtns. at 3500ft. I still haul groc. to the pantry from the food bank ( St. Marys) Phx. Produce comes Thurs. to the Comunity center from West Side food bank. In these hardscrabble times it is much needed.

T-minus 3 weeks until I get to Texas. I will be in Austin for about 4 days...not sure how much time I'll be having to do any serious tourism...we'll see. Anyone have any suggestions? Sadly I can't sneak 165 miles to the ESE along the coast.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Well, it's been snowing for about 45, 50 minutes now, and they called off school about a half hour ago. Snowing lightly right now (I have the entry door open, and watching the snow come down); but it is to pick up, and snow harder, so they decided to go ahead and not open the schools, and then dismissing early due to the weather early afternoon.Temp's in the mid to upper 20s.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages fresh and ready to go, along with plenty of hot water for hot chocolate, cider, tea. Breakfast is also on the serving station.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and keep safe.
CW: sure wish we had the colder weather with just snow instead of all the ice on the roads now!!
Blame the Packers...they're sending an advance party to town for the football game this weekend. We've got 21F and a couple of inches of snow on the ground (flurries?) so far. Business as usual, ya der hey. Off to lurk...
morning
Dan I just saw a news story that said atlanta has 13 plows and trucks out treating the area roads.Matt is on time and on the bus.guessers can't say how much snow we are going to get.Matt's afterschool program starts back up today so we'll see what happens this afternoon.Tom glad to see you back in here.Cw thanks for breakfast.
Joe,
I certainly hope that they're patient down there ("yonder", is it?) cuz I don't think they're going anywhere for a while. I read somewhere that 4 people have died as a result of the weather, that's sad. Driving this morning up here (at 4:30 AM) I saw people out running & biking in the snow...but we don't have the ice and that's the difference maker. My "little" sister in KS has a backup generator & other survival supplies (about a week's worth with generous use) because they deal with ice constantly. As they live about 40 minutes from town they're necessities. Directions to their house include "...turn off the paved road...".
One more time we get to put down all ones: 1 / 11 / 11.....Doesn't happen too often.
Well, our latest weather system started to put down light, fine, dry snow during the dark early morning hours. Now, it continues. Still light, fine, dry, but steady snow. Sounds like we'll see 3 to 5" of the stuff by the time this system passes on east to merge with the "Nor Easter" coming up the east coast, to deliver another hard punch for Phila. and north.
Mid 20's here this morning. No wind yet. That's to arrive overnight.
Nice and warm in here, no need to go out in that stuff, so we'll probably stay here today.....Pigs in the blanket will be the fare for a late lunch here. Good stuff, Jean makes them just like a favorite place back in Pennsylvania did years ago.
Well, made it to Produce and back home pretty well. Since it's just snow, I didn't have any trouble going over there. Not really too much trouble coming back home, even though there were quite a few sets of footprints (30 people showed up for Produce), so it was a tad bit slippery. But I had my boots on, so not really any problem for me.
After I got back home, I stood on the front porch, and took a picture w/my cell phone. Will try posting it on here later. (I have a different cell phone, so trying to figure out the ins/outs of operating it, and taking pictures w/it. Current temp is around 31 degrees F., with just a little bit of a breeze.
I put on a pot of veg. beef soup, a pot of beef stew and baked some fresh cornbread, before leaving for Produce. It is all on the serving station, so you all can get what you want, along with some other delectables on there also.
Everyone enjoy your afternoon, take care and see you all later.
Well, here's the picture I took awhile ago with my cellphone, standing on our front porch, looking across the street. Looks like we have about 1 1/2 to 2 inches, with more due later this afternoon, tonight.
NYC - 8-10" Forecast
Albany - 4-6" Forecast
Us - Snow flurries and snow showers - probably no appreciable accumulation.
We're ready for it and we aren't getting any. They aren't, and once again they're getting hit...
Got an errand to run.
matts afterschool program is cancelled.shoveled about 3 inches off the driveway so far.Cw thanks for the soup.Time to see what Matt has for homework.Also time to get ready for work.
Carl & Jim,
The latest U768 cleared Neenah at 1610 with IC 2724 in the lead (w/ CN 5601) followed by 150 jennies (but no Mook!), then IC 1028 & CN 8938 as rear DPU. Pics on Flickr when I can tonight.

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Very cold, for us this morning, with temps in the low 20s, but wind chill makes it feel like 3 above zero outside. Schools back in session today, as the main roads are in very good shape. Just the subdivision streets and some secondary streets are still in bad shape.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is ready and on the serving station.
Hope you all have a good morning. Keep safe and warm, take care and see you all later.
Good morning! I don't want to have to go outside today, but the plow came through and cleaned my street of snow yesterday morning while I was at my chiropractor's office, and I must cut a path out beyond the curb. Currently, our temp is about 3.5 degrees below 0, and the windchill factor places us at -15. It's not going to be fun moving that snow, and we had gotten something like 4 to 6 inches in the last couple nights.
CW, thanks for putting breakfast together for the rest of us!
good morning
matt is delayed for 2 hours this morning.didn't see anyone with ditchfinders or bent fenders this morning.Cw thanks for breakfast.Going to get matt on the bus and get a good winters nap.

......It looks like Winter out side here....But our streets are plowed, and some young fellows just stopped by and are working on our 70' driveway now for 20 dollars...Pretty standard for our size driveway.
Mid 20's in our area this morning. Many other people have much more of this stuff and over on the east coast and on up from NYC, it appears to be another rather big load of snow to contend with.
Much more snow this season compared to last, but really it's been small amounts each time....Yesterday, I'm counting it 3 1/2".
7 day forecast, I noted this monring, has snow showers or flurries for next week....Winter.....not my favorite time.
For our lunch and supper menu, here's what I've come up with:
1. Round steak w/mushroom and cream of mushroom soup as a sauce over the steak; broccoli and brussels sprouts, both in cheese sauce;
2. Cheesy tuna casserole w/peas & carrots
3. Pinto beans w/fresh baked cornbread and fried taters w/onion
Hearing all the reports on the National news of the flooding in Australia, particularly in Brisbane, has anyone here on the forums heard anything from Kozzie?!?! I know Walt and I haven't heard anything from him in probably 2, if not 3 years. We hope he and family are all right.
Not alot of snow overnight, but it's a bit windy, so there's minor drifting. That's more of a hassle because it makes the shovelling harder - which is why I fired up the snowblower.
Part of my driveway was actually bare pavement, due to the eddies around the house.
Definitely cold, though. Planning on staying in the house as much as I can. Plenty of prospective projects...
Hello all and happy Wednesday. Our snow total for this time around is 4 inches. Looks like another wave is coming in this Friday. School was canceled today because the roads were so bad. Keep our family in your prayers. Just found out my dear Aunt Beverly passed on to be with the Good Lord about a hour ago. But, she’s surely on the Evening Express Train to Heaven. Not hurting anymore. Be safe all. -Justin
