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

[Laura's Babies]

All that started down here on the gulf! We had rain yesterday, all day long up to 4 inches in places. They explained on the news last night (and I could be using the wrong terms for it) but there was a high pressure area northwest of the rain and a low pressure area southeast of the rain and that was going to push it right on up to all of you.

For all the storms we have down here and the hurricanes, I think what happens up there is worse. At least our bad season is during the summer where we CAN go outside to get in the shade and cool down a little bit and get relief at night when it cools down. Even if we have to use bottled water, it isn't FROZEN so we can drink it.

The power up there goes out during one of these winter storms and ya'll are freezing with no way to get warm and everything in the house freezes and worst of all (to me) is you are confined inside the house because of the freezing weather. I can't handle the cold! I HATE it! Reason # 1 why I left Virginia and live in the south...

One of the guys I work with was in the middle of that winter storm last year and he said it was awful. They could hear the trees breaking and falling at night and were terrified. The power went out and they had no heat and like to have froze, had to keep bottled water close to their bodies to keep it thawed and drinkable. He lived in a rural area and it took them weeks to get power back on at his house.

I was in that area just days after that storm and I couldn't believe the damage and destruction it did.. It actually looked a lot worse than it did around here after Hurricane Gustav.

Ohio is expected to get hit, so I suppose this is the snowstorm that will be moving through the state to the east side of the U.S.

Boo! I am sick of snow.

I believe you're getting snow from a different system. The one we are getting here, is coming up the Atlantic coast from the south. Looking at the weather map, the snow in your area is coming in from the west.

Hey - snow is snow any way you look at it. And I say enough already!!!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the storm from Ohio is heading your way, Ellie - combining with the one coming up the coast. That's why you all are going to get hit so hard.

Two for the price of one

I'm not far from Ellie, so we get essentially the same forecasts. The storms coming up from the south this year have been hitting us hard. It has just started to snow, there will only be a couple of inches on the ground this evening, but by 3pm tomorrow, they're saying 15-22" (average) with blizzard conditions tomorrow morning. They've been prepping for this one for a WEEK!!
