SNOW

[trish]

Sitting here waiting for it to start again. We had a little bit of sleet that maybe lasted five or ten minutes before stopping. But we're supposed to get 12 to 18 inches. What about you?

[TKGAngel]

No snow expected here...for once. :)

I hope everyone in the path of the storm keeps safe and warm.

[dando]

Meh. An inch or two of melting snow here. Non event. I guess mundane, Longman and Elmo are having all of the fun. :gomer:

Only 10" for us- I say "only" because of the 18-24 that the western & northern parts of the state are getting.

Last night was ridiculous- over 300 traffic incidents in a 5-hour period. :saywhat:

[Elmo T]

We have a couple inches and snowing again pretty good now. Reports range from 12-20 inches total. Odd storm in that snowfall is great to the south and east of Philly.

If it stays around a foot, I am good. More than 14-16" of blowing snow and they begin to activate emergency management stuff - then I have to trek out into the snow. :irked:

Looks like the storm is sandwiched between us.

Road conditions getting worse now. Fire truck took out an electric pole about 5 miles north of here - firefighters are still in truck - waiting over an hour for the electric company to respond and clear the wires. :saywhat:

Only a couple inches predicted but it is cold and I can not wait to get to the local ski area in the morning to try out the new skis and boots I picked up 2 weeks ago.

[opinionated ow]

What is snow? :confused:

[Cam]

I'm picking up a couple of sheila's in 1/2 an hour and heading to the beach. :p

So is that what they're calling drag queens down under these days? :gomer: :p

Smog/inversion/fog you could cut with a knife, 29°F and random leftover gray snow.

The sky sludge will continue to build until Tuesday when a cold front will hopefully clean out the valley. Maybe a little snow on Wednesday but the smog will start rebuilding by Christmas...

Welcome to winter in the Great Basin valleys...

Some cops have no sense of humor about the snow (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/20/AR2009122000881.html)

The snowball fight was the brainchild of Yousef Ali...

Say hello to the no-fly-list.

[Napoleon]

Say hello to the no-fly-list.

Wouldn't want him slipping on to a plane with a snowball.

I loved snowball fights when I was young. I can't imagine one with 100 people to a side. What a blast.

[Don Quixote]

Sure, snowball fights are great fun, until somebody gets their eye put out. :laugh:

Pretenders. In Indy, we would have 500 accidents in two hours flat, and it would take less than half the snow.

I didn't see the Iggles game, but we did see the Jets game (in NJ). I saw numerous snowballs being chucked during the Falcons' game-winning drive. :shakehead

[Gnam]

Which fans were chucking them at the sideline cameraman as he traveled back and forth? That at least was a moving target worthy of competition.

[Elmo T]

I didn't see the Iggles game,

They were just having some fun, if they were serious, it would have been much more than just snowballs... :\
