Glad to see so many responses, this morning, means you have power

Power just came back on here about two hours ago. Been off since 4:15AM. See: Atlantic City Electric Outage Map to get an idea of what's going on down here. The house got down to 55F and I was going to break out the portable propane heater if it got much below that. Was also getting ready to empty out the freezer and put everything out on the back deck in a cooler, had the power not come back. I have a small generator, but didn't want to hassle with getting it set up and running just to run the 'fridge.

We're getting battered pretty good. About 24" of snow and 20-40MPH winds. Got a little minor tidal flooding going on too, just for fun, due to the on-shore winds from the storm.

I'm the only one in this area for about a 3-4 block radius (it's a summer tourist town). My phone rang at about 9:00AM with the local LEOs calling to make sure I was OK.

Guess they must've been out patrolling and saw my vehicle in the driveway. Told them I was fine and had enough food, water and fuel (didn't mention the booze ) for at least a week. He reminded me there was a state of emergency declared for this county and to stay off the roads. I said I would and mentioned that I had my '96 4WD Tahoe with a full tank of gas. If they needed help getting docs or nurses to the local hospital or whatever, I'd be happy to help out. The officer thanked me and said if I needed anything to just call up dispatch and ask for him by name. That's the nice thing about this place in the off-season: the locals stick together.

My GF is on assignment down in Annapolis this weekend. Talked to her a few minutes ago and she said things were pretty much shut down there as well, although they haven't lost power. She's riding the storm out in the Hampton Inn and picked up some food (and a bottle of wine ) yesterday to see her through. She's got one of my LED lanterns with her, so she's pretty much good-to-go as well.

Right now, my plan is to stay hunkered down for the rest of this afternoon and evening and catch up on some reading. Dig out tomorrow when it's supposed to be sunny and the winds will have died down.

I'll keep y'all updated if anything interesting happens...

Glad to hear you got power back. I was watching the news, saw the power outages and thought of you. I just got done shoveling the walks and part of the driveway and I was about to give you a call and see how you were making out. We have about 18-22" of the white stuff so far and I am running out of places to throw the stuff For me the worst part was I missed the first 45 minutes of Daytona qualifying because the yahoos on the news had to talk about all the different places it was snowing. oh well, big pot of gravy and sausage on the stove and fresh raviolis in the fridge.

be safe everyone.

Thanks, man. I appreciate that. I'm doing fine. All is well here on the "appendix" of NJ.

I missed the first 45 minutes of Daytona qualifying because the yahoos on the news had to talk about all the different places it was snowing.

Crap, I forgot that was on today. I know the twin 125s are Thursday and the 500 is next Sunday. I have an agreement that we'll celebrate Valentine's Day on 2/13 this year so I can watch the 500 on 2/14.

Sounds good. I'm going to finish up the last of the "4 Alarm Sloppy Joe" I'd originally made for the hammock hang last weekend. My colon will be happy that it's finally gone.

Yeah, he is not handling the Snowpocalypse well, he is sure as hell not going to like the zombiepocalypse.



Hey jersey boys, anybody close to princeton/plainsborough, I have been trying to get a hold of my buddy and can't get through today ?

I'm about 40 miles north of Princeton. We got less than an inch of snow. I hope your friend is OK.

Guys, I don't know if this is allowed, but I don't feel like setting up another multi-pic thread on my netbook. Here Ive posted a couple pics of my neighborhood. I live right outside Baltimore, on the city/county line, and it came down pretty bad around here. If you look in the back on the latter pic you'll see a downed tree limb. Powers been fine, just a couple brown-outs last night. I've yet to see a plow on my street so its absolutely impossible to drive in or out, well maybe not for a nice BOV. The grocery store Thursday night was absolute chaos... gave me a little taste of SHTF.

Some pix.

Da Jeep,(still didn't pick up my new bumper )



Da boy,





Da pup,




Da snow,

[whip_lash]

I'll post a pic of ours later. It was up over my 9" boots though and midway to my shin. Dug the cars out twice to see them covered up again each time. I'm near Roanoke VA btw.

[zenlunatic]

I might not get my car out til spring...

[mattdcknsn]

Yeah here in Northern VA our total is 34" of snow. Too damn much. Took me 3 hours to shovel a path one shovel wide out the door and down the driveway. Got one car uncovered, waiting to get the other one tomorrow. I did hear one tree break last night around midnight, all the other trees seem to be fine.

We did have some small black outs saturday morning around 4am, couple of times the power went out. Nothing too bad though.

[zenlunatic]

Early yesterday my dog enjoyed the snow. It towers over her... I had to dig a potty spot in the back yard.

[MaxRite]

Just got power back. Too tired. Going to bed. Fuck global warming.
