Looking like Wash DC is the bull's eye for 2 or more feet of snow this weekend. This will be interesting to watch as it pans out. We will hopefully miss the heavy stuff up here, being on the northern edge. After last winter even 8 to 12 inches is duck soup. |

We're hearing that storm will pass just south of us on the weekend. The poor wild horses on Sable island sill probably take the brunt. |

All others on the "worst" list are less than 2 feet, most of them in the 14" to 17" range.

We've not had an outage over a few hours since I moved here in 1995 (knock on wood). Power outages were really pretty rare in the olden days. I don't remember them at all when we lived inside the DC line and very rare just over the line in PG. When I moved down to Clinton in the 70s we had a few that lasted more than an hour but not many. Now my Ex says it happens often enough that she bought a generator. Ice storms were worse than the snow. (The old "sleet and freezing rain" that was worse than a good snow) This storm looks unusual because all the snow will come at once. Our big snow events usually involved it snowing every day or two for a week or so. Worst case was a pattern of cold air from the west and a low coming up from the south. That was when PG got slammed. It usually snowed a lot more in Montgomery and Frederick. |

I certainly don't want a repeat of what we had up here, especially in February. First "major" storm was just about now in January and then one a week for the next 5 weeks. Total was about 5' as measured in my backyard. I remember the blizzard of '78. I had just left active duty and was in the reserves. That was a two day storm that dumped an incredible amount of snow very quickly. Mike Dukakis was governor and he shut the state down for a week. It was illegal to drive anywhere unless you were driving an emergency vehicle. A large state plow truck became stuck in front of our house. Snow was just too high and heavy for it to move. They had to come in with a huge Caterpillar bulldozer to rescue the truck and continue plowing the street. All military reserves were called up. I was picked up in a big military 4x4 truck. Somehow we made it the 20 miles or so to the South Weymouth Naval Airstation. When I got there it turned out there was really nothing for us to do so I ended up as a spotter in a Navy helicopter flying along the coast from NH to the Cape looking for anyone who needed to be rescued. We were flying along a coastal road and saw a large van ... like a FedEx or UPS truck ... that only had about a foot of the roof line showing. The pilot hovered over it to take some pictures and we realized it wasn't snow that had covered it. It was sand, dumped along the coastal roadway by the wave action created by the storm. |

I really only remember 3 times when we really got socked like that. It just would not stop snowing. It still totaled about 2 feet over a week or so and the place was pretty much shut down. I sold my Jeep during one of those events. I got to the guy's house on top of a big hill in Wheaton and he said "sold" from his front porch before he even got to the car. We drove down to a bank on the plowed road (New Hampshire Ave), he paid me and I waited in a bar for my wife to come get me. |

I have one client who lives on one of the many hilly back roads in North Plymouth, plus her driveway is a long hill going up from the road. I have to make sure I have a running start going up her driveway, slowly easing up on the gas as we go up, hoping that I timed it right to make it to the top. So far I've done ok. Then, after loading her in the van, I turn around, make sure there is no traffic on the road in either direction and do a controlled slide back down her driveway. After that, the road is another steep, long hill down to a major road. Ice packed, of course. To navigate that hill, I put the transmission in "1" and crawl down the hill without touching the brakes and letting the engine/transmission keep the speed down. If I even touched the brakes, it would put the van in a slide and who knows what would happen. Nerve wracking when you have 9 or 10 people yacking away behind you. |

Perhaps we should keep track of all the threads you and your gang of turds try to **** up. Since there are so many of you in that gang of turds, I suspect the number will be substantial, eh?

Senility kicking in? I read 3 questions. You're correct. Any answer? -- Ban idiots, not guns!
