Who Else Is Getting Ready for Yet Another Nor'Easter Snow Storm?

I guess I don't need to look at the tv reports after all the updates and reports here!

It's over here in S.E. Michigan. We had about 8" from start to finish. The winds have picked up - about 25mph this morning.

I've noticed a lot of people have to clean off their cars, then driveways,
etc, does any one keep their cars inside the garage. You'd still have to
clean off the drive way, but still, It would help if at least the car wasn't
covered with ice & snow. Inquiring minds want to know.

Very observant I must say. A car in the garage - what a novel idea!!! LOL We have 3 vehicles in the driveway that have never seen the inside of the garage. There's no room with the Harley, garden tractor, freezer, work bench, etc, etc, etc! Hopefully there will be a snow blower in there next year too.....

Right now we are getting hammered - whiteout conditions - wind has picked up. I'm so sick of snow - and I actually like it - but enough is enough!

Poor kids will be going to school till July at this rate. They lost 4 days with the snow before Christmas, and out all week this week so far, and they'll be out for sure tomorrow too, and probably Friday.

Our garage belongs to 1) the pop up camper, 2) the snowthrower, 3) the lawn equipment, 4) the potting bench, 5) the bicycles ... got the idea?

Neighborhood regulations do not allow for campers in the open - the pop up (and it's not a small one) has to claim the garage. This is not a problem for us, we chose to have things that way.

The ones I do NOT understand are my neighbors across the way. We have a common drive with four houses which is a decent length and a steep descent, BUT, as previously posted, we also have a powerful snowthrower and keep the drive clear. They chose, in both storms, to take their vehicles up to the top, on the main street, and leave them there. This makes it so the plow can only make a single width path instead of being able to plow all the way to the curb. There is a mountain of snow in the middle between the plowed path and where the car is. THAT does not make sense!!

our garage is storage space... not car space lol. We don't have a lot of storage areas in this house so the garage is where we put everything. Plus we can't fit the van and the car in there even without all the boxes so we'd still have to clean at least one off and they take up 3/4 of the drive way and I think it's easier to clean snow off a car than to shovel that 3/4 because under the cars there isn't much in the way of snow.

Well we've probably got about about 15 inches of snow right about now but they said the snow is supposed to start to taper off here soon.

But... we've lost satellite signal. booooooourns lol. oh well at least we have some shows on the DVR that we haven't watched... but I"m gonna miss Y&R... the HORROR

Did you lose the signal because of snow on the dish? Can you reach it, to remove it? We've lost for that reason just twice. It's a pain in the neck, but we hauled a ladder over and used a long handled broom to knock off the snow. Goes to show, we should have had it mounted on a ground post.

I love where our dish is for that very reason. It's mounted under and next to the living room window on the side of the house. During storms, we just open the window and brush it off.

We used to lose signal in a heavy rain storm, and we had the same happen with both Dish Network and Direct TV. We went back to cable - better lineup, less money, and we don't lose signal.

It might be clearing - it's brighter out than it was. I can wish I guess.........

[sparks19]

Well God loves me the signal came back just in time for The young and the restless LMAO

I guess the snow was just really heavy so the signal couldn't get through because the dish is clean

[sparks19]

Just a couple pictures. Brian went out to shovel a new path for the dogs so they could tinkle lol









the roof only had a couple inches left on it from the last storm this is the roof now

[lvpets2002]

Well it's hard to say how much we have total now lol. But up to Brians waist and he wasn't all the way down to the ground... there was still more snow udner his feet. that drift there is probably about 4 feet at least.

The report says we've gotten 13 inches so far and still snowing and now the wind is starting

That's what I said. if we took Hannah out we'd have to tie a rope to her so we don't lose her lol

[orangemm]

It's blowing here like a son of a gun; whiteout conditions for sure. I am so sick of hearing/seeing/reading/talking/watching/worrying about the weather I could SCREAM!

WE all need a normal life! This cabin fever stuff is getting real old.

I can't imagine how the folks in Baltimore feel right about now. I survived blizzards there before, but this one is unbelieveable.

[pomtzu]

We had a break, but it's snowing again. I hope my car doesn't end up being a casualty!!!



ETA: Good news for me! My son and DIL got enough shoveled out in front of my car to move it forward and out of the path of the tree - should it decide to go down. I was sweatin' that one - especially since the car is paid for and it's ALL MINE!
