We're about to get our ass handed to us

All the forecasts say mother nature is about to bitchslap us sumthin fierce.

It's currently 16 degrees here and they're predicting up to 22" of snow to fall and sustained winds of 60mph with gusts from 70 - 90mph beginning tonight.  Gonna finish it off with a nice little addition of an icestorm..... :mad:

Everybody is battening down the hatches to try to ride this out.  The stores and roads are packed with people stocking up.

They're even predicting blizzards and drifting snow at the ocean beaches............when is summer??

Work has passed the word to all of us to expect to be on storm response for over a week at a time and to pack accordingly.  I use to love this stuff 30 years ago but I'm too fat and old for this now................

Yah, I saw that on the news. Crazy ass weather.

Our problem is that with all the trees we have up here that kind of wind pretty much destroys our electrical system and blocks all the roads.  Then you add our hills and transportation comes to a stop with much snow on it.

Take care and good luck

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Funny you should mention that, we typically do with our RV but some boating friends of ours had a house fire (DaytonaTunnel on PB & 68Droptop on HB) and we loaned it to them so they'd have someplace to live so we're not a setup as usual.  Have a generator but sent it home with our daughter and her family since she and Ed have two little ones.

Probably not in the best positon as we typically like to but we're headed into town and stocking up so Jan will have stuff.  I'll be working so it don't matter to me.

Thanks for the well wishes

My wife has family there in gig harbor and we have been talking with them. We go married in September and were going to move up there after we go married, but put it off because of the economy. So we are looking at moving in February regardless of the economy good thing we waited. It would suck to be looking for work  right now up there. Hope you are doing alright
