OT - Snowmageddon POSBANG
The weather predictions for today and tonight have been all over the news with warnings of a nasty winter storm, so what better excuse for a POSBANG?! North of Detroit, we've only gotten about an inch of snow so far. The weather reports are saying the afternoon should bring the heaviest snow. Possible accumulation of 8-14 inches depending on your area. Monday and Tuesday we may set records for low temperatures. Be safe out there!

would like to remind us all that while it's snowing here, it's summer in the other hemisphere and they're setting record heat waves like they did in 2013.

Everyone has an agenda. Follow the money and do your own research.

So many times this.

Here in southern Wayne county (Romulus), it is a pretty moderate snow - we've probably had a couple inches since it began around 5 AM with much more to come, according to the forecast, of course.
Around 8 AM, once it was light enough for me not to shovel by the light of the security lamps out front, I did a quick clearing of the driveway which has since filled in with additional snow. I would rather clear a few inches a few times than the entirety of the storm all at once if for no other reason than to even out the cardio workout.
I also made a nice full breakfast for myself and the family - bacon, sausage, eggs and toast. Much fun was had by all....also much protein. We'll all need that later this afternoon when clearing the driveway will supposedly be an exercise in futility.
Football and the odd episode of "Diagnosis Murder" might be the only thing on the TV today. As for drinks, coffee switching to wine later.

I like the way you think. I made a nice breakfast this morning and while the espresso double shot was good, this is an Earl Grey kind of day -- a fresh cup with some milk and honey hit the spot.
My neighbor started on mimosas and will be switching to beer later. I'll probably dip into the Zaya Gran Reserva rum at some point (I know rum is more of a warm weather spirit, but it's got to be warm somewhere).

Sorry, but that is not Canada as the traffic is driving on the left side of the road. (funny nonetheless)

going in each direction on your 'two lane' road. is in europe where they don't use our same MDOT/DOT approved paint scheme. either that, or it was taken just before one heck of a head-on collision!

I tried reading FAQ and emailing twice, no response...
is there some secret to this?
Thought I'd save this question for a thread like this.

I'm ready for anything it can dish out.
Ps. thre will be NO snowblower action today between 12:00 to 14:00,

We got about 6 inches of snow here in Brooklyn. But it was really the wind and sub-freezing temperatures that were the problem. Unfortunately, they are expected to continue. Good day to stay inside and wach us trounce Nwestern.
January 5th, 2014 at 10:15 AM ^
We (up in Howell) had 6 inches this morning from the snow last night (so much for the 1-3 overnight prediction).
January 5th, 2014 at 10:17 AM ^
It's barely snowing at all right now. No additional accumulation yet but it's plenty treacherous already. Even three more inches would complicate things.

Right now it's still really pretty. Only a few inches of fresh snow here in Oakland county, and it's coming down all soft and sparkly.

I live right across from Comerica, and downtown hasn't seen anything from this "storm". I see it on the radar, so, we'll obviously get some snow, but nothing close to the 14", we may even struggle to get to 8".
January 5th, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
I must register a dispute. Snow up to 12 inches isn't "snowmageddon," it's "winter." 24 inches, that might be snowmageddon, if the suffixes -mageddon and -pocalypse hadn't been placed on the banned words list for 2014.
At any rate, there's only about an inch or so on the ground right now, which is disappointing because I want to run my new snowblower around. In an ideal world it'll drop another 8 inches on us and then stop for good at 7 or so.

Here in central Oklahoma we have about 1/2 inch of snow, and it's also about 40 degrees colder than yesterday. I haven't been to the grocery store, but around her any prediction of snow or ice at all, even just a light dusting leads to long lines and runs on bread and milk.
One of my colleagues used to work in the news department of a local television station and she taught me a new phrase that the staff used to describe the excitement of the meterologists when any kind of storm was imminent: a weather woody.

It's so damned cold my computer froze and posted twice.
