    Blizzard of 2007 is here...

    ... and of course it's only a level 2 for now so I had to get my butt to work but I will be leaving SOON... It is looking nasty out... snowing, blowing wind, and would rather be home then at work.

    Still can't start my damn snow blower...

    Re: Blizzard of 2007 is here...

    The snow is supposed start around midnight here in NH and continue on straight through Thursday morning. They say we'll get anywhere from 12-18 inches when all is said and done.

    I really shouldn't complain...it's only our second or third real storm of the year.

    Re: Blizzard of 2007 is here...

    I went into work this morning, only to turn around several hours later when they shut everything down and told everyone to go home. I don't see what the big deal was, the drifts on the road heading out to our house were only about 4-5 ft high Good thing the truck is 4wd though.

    BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST

    TONIGHT.

    A BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST TONIGHT.

    SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO FALL INTO THE EVENING HOURS...BEFORE
    TAPERING OFF AND COMING TO AN END AFTER MIDNIGHT. ADDITIONAL
    ACCUMULATIONS WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND ONE INCH.

    NORTHERLY WINDS OF BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH WILL PRODUCE BLIZZARD
    CONDITIONS AT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT...WITH CONSIDERABLE
    BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW.

    A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
    EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS
    AND POOR VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY. THIS WILL LEAD TO WHITEOUT
    CONDITIONS...MAKING TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRAVEL. IF
    YOU MUST...HAVE A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT WITH YOU. IF YOU GET
    STRANDED...STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE.

    Re: Blizzard of 2007 is here...

    By far the worst I've seen since i've been in Ohio (5 years)... saying that I've seen worst when I lived in Montreal. Here's couple pictures I took.

    The 1st one is at 7am from my "cube" on the 10th floor.
    The 2nd one is driving home at 3pm.
    the 3rd one is my neighbor trying to clean his driveway.


    My Snowblower still not starting so this girl is going to build some muscles tomorrow....

    Wife's flight got canceled so she's probably shackin' w/ some dude in Alexandria where her conference was. j/k.

    I came home and helped clear driveways. I'll get to do the same in the am. Luckily, my neighbor has a kick ass snow blower.

    Okay, dinner and homework for me tonight. I'm starting my last quarter!!!!

    That's what, 4 or 5 inches at best?
    Wouldn't even be worth shoveling the drive if it weren't so much fun with an ATV and a plow.
    I thought Ohio had snowstorms, there's no way that can be the worst.
    That parking lot looks cleaner than the one I was driving in with the RX8 a few weeks back. Clearer road as well.
    But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.

    i just took 12 inches out of my drive. I'll probably have to take another 12 out in the morning. It's really coming down.

    Frenchie doesn't know snow out there in the western part of the state. It blows too much to accumulate.

    Dude, I am so going out and show you my driveway... blow my ass. LOL well, Half of my driveway in 6 inches but the other half is 14? that's on my side.


    Edit: the problem with Findlay is they don't have any equipment to clean the roads so we are screwed... I mean if I drive out now, they'll give me a ticket cause it's under level 3.... I've seen level 3 in Canada and that's nothing, just suck when you don't have those big maching to clean it for you.

    So if your Armada is 4WD then why are you shoveling your driveway? Wait for it to melt.

    Exactly. If they want to park in the driveway, they can shovel it.
