I'll be down in Newport Coast this weekend eating sushi and shopping for a couple new fishing reels.


Every single snow related post and you have to rub our noses in your socal weather -- go fuck yourself!

I expect to make a trip to socal within the next few weeks so ... I can expect usually bad socal weather when I get there.

**************************BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!**********************************

The exact track of the storm will hold the key as to which areas in the mid-Atlantic and southern New England are hit with heavy snow, dangerous highway travel and scores of flight delays and cancellations during Friday into Saturday.

No shit... really?? Where do I start the application process of getting a gig to write this garbage? This would be a great retirement job.

I'm all set, just picked up a lantern that runs off D batts. Got Heat Locker socks. Brought in my adjustable dumbbell bench from the barn in case I need to work out.

The thing that really pissed me off today: I wanted a heavy duty shovel and one price club was sold out. I call another one in the area, they have shovels left. So I head over (25 min drive), as I'm walking in I see this asshat tying down stacks of the shovels into his work truck. An old lady asks him "How many did you buy?" and he says "all of them". MFing POS. I don't get what the point is to buy $1500+ worth of shovels, probably reselling them. Asshole.

The "by me" is the part nobody knows. The weathermen are pretty sure somebody is getting 2 feet, somebody else is getting a foot and somebody else is getting a couple of inches. They just don't know where. Current track is DC gets socked, NYC gets the moderate amount and north and west of that are spared as it goes out to sea south and east. But this is one of those storms where 100 miles makes all the difference. If it turns a little south or goes east a little earlier NYC gets almost nothing and if it turns north early or takes less of a turn east then New York gets the 2 feet and the DC area gets a few inches.

and don't forget about Long Island, everyone always forgets about Long Island.

Not looking forward to it one bit.

I've already called a few companies to see about snow removal. If we get the max amount I'm not interested in dealing with that. I'd much rather be inside.

Long Islander here
My snow tires are still in the garage and they just might stay there all season.
Foot of snow on a weekend is nothing. I haven't even taken my winter gear out of storage..
Was out on my motorcycle a couple of days ago and I have a feeling I'll be out riding it again later this month.

I can see it snowing about 3 inches in Maryland... sorry ass weather forecasters !

I would love it if that were the case but the forecast models due appear to show a major storm. I'm guessing it'll be at least 15".

3 days out = approx 75% accuracy for a weather forcast.

Exact snowfall amounts are mainly guesswork till after the damn storm.

Unfortunately this isn't good for TV news ratings.

Hoping and Wishing for OPM to cancel work. Even though I think the people in NoVA are pussies when it comes to snow.

The only thing we will get in Minnesnota is the cold on the backside of the storm

It's funny the south is getting all the decent snow falls now days. We barely even have any snow on the ground here. Maybe like a foot or two at most.

Actually Craig Allen on NY News 880 AM does a pretty good job too ... one of the few who will actually admit he's not sure whats going to happen.

it's going to be so bad. last night through this morning was shit show and we only had like an inch of snow, although there was ice mixed in which was causing all of the issues. took me about an hour to get to work this early when i usually get here in under 30 minutes with no traffic and am in by 7. heard 495 is like a fucking standstill too.

and it doesn't help that idiots around here simply do not know how to drive, snow or no snow. it makes it 10000000x worse when there is snow on the ground.

I have no idea where you live, but I was on 495 this morning as I am every morning... and there was no snow, no ice, no rain, no acid rain, no volcano eruptions, no notable idiots doing 100 mph just to tailgate the next guy in line, NO ACCIDENTS (?!?!) and hell, there wasn't even wind as the last 2 mornings had.. so it didn't feel -as- cold. Is there another 495 I don't know about? :hmm:

6 hour commutes on some routes last night.

We had fun watching the chuckleheads try to skid up the hill in front of the house last night.
