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 TRAVEL...HAVE A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT WITH YOU. IF YOU GET
STRANDED...STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE.
Talked to Scoobie this morning, they have 6 on the ground now, another 6 expected.
We are forecast to get it starting late this afternoon. 12-18 inches by the time all is said and done, as much as 2 feet in localized spots.
And oh yeah--45 mph winds. Joy.

I can only hope the powers that be only ask "essential" folks to come in tomorrow. If they don't, they're fools.

Ergh. My stepmom is driving to DC from Kittery today.
Poor TV DOC is out in Virginia right now He's gonna have a hell of a drive home back to KC MO.
If he left early, he might have gotten ahead of it.
If not, he's gonna be stuck here until I dunno, February or so.
I think they were headed south - Atlanta, Birmingham? - on their way home, but I don't think they were leaving Va until today. Even so, I read where Raleigh got 6 or 8 inches.... :(
Just started snowing again....
A little over a foot of snow right now, another 5" predicted overnight. Yay. :censored:
Just got done my fourth and final round of snow shoveling for the day. Such fun shoveling metric ****tons of snow in the dark, the wind blowing everything on the shovel back in my face, me covered in snow, shivering, the icicles hanging from my hair constantly threatening to pierce my eyes out with each wind gust...my neighbor has a lit nativity scene in their yard...I swear I heard the baby Jesus laughing at me.

8-10 inches in the Boston area so far. Only about 3-4 here so far, but we're about 4 hours behind them as far as storm movement. Boston and Portland area stations are talking about totals in excess of 20 inches, and winds tonight gusting as high as 60-70 mph.
Only essential personnel (ops, radcon, chemistry, security) going into plant tomorrow. Called the hotline a couple of hours ago, and just got a call/heads up from one of the supervisors a few minutes ago. Snow should taper off by noon tomorrow, but the wind will be around until Tuesday. Lows tonight and tomorrow in the single digits and windchills in the negative teens.
**** you, Al Gore. Just **** you.

We're just outside of Surry, VA, on the James River......got over a foot, with eighteen inches expected forty knot winds,, everything shut down, even the ferry, all the supermarkets and gas stations in Williamsburg......it's a ghost town......and not a snowplow in sight. This is one of those times when having a four-wheel drive pays off.......
doc
Excuse me for being dumb...but are you one of the "essentials"? I know you aren't security or chemistry, but I don't know if you are one of the other two - especially since I don't know what radcon is. :???:
I swear I heard the baby Jesus laughing at me.
Ops--operations. Radcon--radiological controls/radiation protection.
I'm electrical maintenance. Specifically a relay technician. Nothing happening that they need me for unless some vital piece of electrical equipment breaks.
Just checked weather websites, including NOAA. Our nasty period will be around 2-8 am. No way in HELL I'm going out unless I have to.
And Scoobs, your driveway is about 1/3 the length of mine, but yeah, I'd rather have a snowblower than shovel 200 feet of driveway of 18 inches of heavy drifting snow.
Tots....I hope she got there safely. I was out on the roads this morning, and while bad, they were still driveable. Now, not so much. Blizzard conditions and whiteout driving as of about 2pm this afternoon.
She left at 3:30 am and got home at 12:30. I will sleep better tonight. Stay warm!
That's great news, so glad. I can't even imagine trying to drive anywhere along the East Coast right now.
got about 15" in southeast Jersey yesterday -- another snow-easter with 40-50 mph wind gusts. We dug out this morning and by 'we', I mean the 15 yr old son (yay!). I have today off as well so at least none of us had to get anywhere important today.It was a fluffy snow, so it was easy to shovel. I decided to do it with my husband and use the guilt later on the kids....mwhahahaha.
Beautiful, sunny day today though!
