We dodged a bullet. Most of our neighbors lost power last night.
Everyone's out in the street comparing notes. The outage is in a weird configuration. Groups of houses here and there have power in the middle of a sea of outage. We're one of the lucky ones. There's a good chance we may be hosting a family or two tonight. Depends on what the power company is able to do. Snow's still coming down pretty hard. |

A little over 26 inches, but I think it's slowing down.

It stopped about an hour ago. I have no idea what the official number is, but after a day of settling, it measured 21 inches in the middle of the driveway.

Lemme guess.... GMC 4x4 doesn't understand that getting traction doesn't mean he has brakes.

This is why a lot of areas made it illegal to be out unless you had to be.
They're even shutting down most of public transportation in Philly, until tomorrow morning, except the subway and one elevated line. Not only other cars are a problem, but people on skis, bicycles and snowmobiles, in the street.

My dad has a 4x4 like that. Red and HUGE and not so easy to handle apparently.
Look at your one child taking it all in stride. I am so so glad you are all alright. Last edited by skysidhe; 02-06-2010 at 08:36 PM. |
