Dusty Chalk Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the concern. Fortunately, my blizzard seems to be cleaning up after itself. Lollers. I think if you turn on your porch light, you can clean up the rest. 2
manaox2 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Tomorrow night - Periods of snow, heavy at times, in the evening will transition to a wintry mix overnight. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. 5 to 8 inches of snow and ice expected. It won't be above freezing until Saturday. Check out the forecast for the day Thursday - Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper teens and lows -4 to 0F. Very bitter week for NC.
Dusty Chalk Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Yeezh. That's North Carolina? I just want to make sure I'm reading that right.
bhjazz Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Stay safe NE 'casers. As always, Seattle has the exact opposite weather.
Dreadhead Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 DC is in shutdown mode which is a really PITA because we are supposed to meet with movers to get quotes and get more work done at our new house. Hopefully the guys can still finish up this week.

Dusty Chalk Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 I got my packages yesterday, from both FedEx and UPS. Still, this: 1
roadtonowhere08 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 I sometimes wish for a bit of snow in our winters here in Southern California, but when I look at what some of you have to go through, I just keep my wishes to myself. Oh and Dusty, that picture made me laugh, but then I remembered this: This is us right now Perhaps we can meet in the middle?
Salt Peanuts Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Posted February 20, 2015 With ~40 degree weather and rain forecasted for Sunday morning, I need to get more snow off of my roof.
crappyjones123 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Dropped to the 20/30s this morning in South Florida. Heard this couple talking outside the breezeway as I was walking to class..."why don't all these scientists look at the fucking thermometers...global warming is just another way for them to control us and make us buy shit we don't need." Really hope the pair aren't in my college.

Dusty Chalk Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 It's so cold out, that my apartment complex management asked us all to leave our faucets on 'drip' so that the pipes don't freeze and burst. Sad part is, it makes sense, because if they do have to fix the burst pipes, you know they're going to raise our rent, so we're going to pay for it either way.
roadtonowhere08 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 You mean, Nevada? Haha, no, I mean weather-wise. 1
Hopstretch Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Even a dusting can be a PITA. Just landed back in England and have been sitting on the taxiway for an hour now after a brief, apparently unexpected, flurry left every single departing aircraft at Gatwick with just enough visible snow on the wings to require deicing. We are number three in line for 777 stands as they do start to open up -- so I reckon it'll be a good while yet. Poop.
Salt Peanuts Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Posted February 21, 2015 Cleared off as much snow off my roof as I can short of going up on it with a shovel. In the process, broke my already-repaired-with-duct-tape snow rake yet again, this time beyond repair.
Dreadhead Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Drove around trying to find some heat cable without success. Spent an hour or two outside to try and clear our stupid downspout and get a freeze proof tap to flow. Both were failures. We are scheduled to move on the 2nd/3rd I hope this cold snap has broken by then but the long term forecast is not looking good. Edit: Turns out that the pipe needed a few minutes for the heat to make it to the frozen part and I came back downstairs to hear it pouring water out (it is one of those 1/4 turn ones and I couldn't remember which way was off). Anyway that appears to now be working. Also the weather prediction 10 days out looks pretty good for the move. Edited February 21, 2015 by Dreadhead
