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

[anna_66]

*Whew* I think it's over for us, maybe just a few fluries here and there but that's about it. I'm so excited

Now as long as it stays cold for a while and doesn't melt all this snow and cause flooding I'll be a happy camper!

Hope it's over soon for the rest of you too.

As I have said I adore the snow but I too grew up in the country and know what it is like to worry about electricity going out, and having animals to take care of in a snow storm cows, horses, pigs etc. Nowadays they do take better care of the roads then 40 some years ago and we have better cars with cell phones, GPS, ON Star.
My best advice to all is to get a gas grill a good one and put it in the garage to heat food with. That way if all else fails you can still have a warm meal which is half the battle I think, a hot soup, a hot dog and a hot cup of cocoa do wonders.
I know many have fire places alas I have never had one even in this new home we built.
Am looking forward to the Home and Flower Show tomorrow at the IX Center with my daughter and third son. Son works for a local nursery and has a keen interest in all things green of course. I love going and since it is my birthday well yesterday they usually let me pick something out that I find. I am a seed freak, since I plant my own tomatoes and hundreds of flowers are already growing in the basement with the grow light. I love looking outside and seeing tons of snow and then seeing my little pepper and tomato plants poking their head out of the grew flat, same with the sunflowers. Spring will come when it's ready and when mother nature thinks we are ready to enjoy it with open arms, right now we have to enjoy father winter first. I am rambling, time to pour another glass of wine.

get a gas grill, a good one, and put it in the garage to heat food with.

Please, NO Grilling **Inside** the garage!!

Charcoal or Gas grills ALL give off DEADLY Carbon Monoxide fumes (CO) in large quantities!

A Little CO *IN* a garage can make everyone present DEATHLY ill ...
and that CO can and will seep into the living areas of the house!

The SAFE way is to clear a little spot OUTSIDE of the garage;
push, pull, or drag the grill OUTside the garage and cook in the open air.

When finished, shut off the gas OR allow the charcoal to COMPLETELY
go out (to where you can touch all the ashes and remaining briquettes)
and then store the grill inside till it's needed again.

Trenton got another 13" yesterday on top of the 17" we got over the weekend. Our local news is saying more snow is due on Monday.....YES!!! This winter has been a winter lover's dream come true. I'll take this over spring and summer any day, they both come too soon and stay way too long. I detest both of those seasons with an absolute passion!

Someone is playing a sick joke on us in the Mid-Atlantic region this winter. I'm not amused..........

And I heard about the possibility of more on Monday too. I'm going to FL to stay with relatives till this is over. Just kidding - but wish I could!!

LOL Just think of it this way, you can skip any planned exercise for the
next two days.

I have no idea how much we got, but we lived through it!
Whew!
We never got bad winds.
We kept our electric and phone but something made our internet and cable tv go out around 8pm Wed. and it didn't come back on until 11 this morning.
It was so nice to wake up to a beautiful blue sky today!
Someone in another post mentioned having animals to take care of...boy am I glad we don't still have pigs, chickens and rabbits to tend to with what we had here!
My nephew did all our shoveling and let me tell you, he had LOT to do between our drive & walk and his drive way.
Here are some pictures from Wednesday through the day and also from Thursday morning:
