OT: Death storm 2 open thread
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
is the status of Quo?
3 inches of snow in somewhere deep south like Alabama/Georgia, etc. will set off a panic that may promote Cannibalism and great gnashing of teeth...
Or running out of milk and bread in the grocery stores........
Depends on where you live I guess.
76 and partly cloudy here. Light breeze. No snow forecasted as far as I can see.
about 6 or 7 inches here (mid michigan) and it shows no sign of letting up. Kids are happy, so there's that.
has been getting pummeled all day.
Right now, it's just a rain / freezing rain mix here in southwestern Wayne county. That being said, you can see the transition to snow starting as we speak - we're on track for 4-6 inches here. While I wouldn't quite put it up there with "Death Storm", it's still going to suck in the morning potentially, not to mention later tonight. My wife just left for work too - hoping she gets there safe.
still work at Edison? My uncle and cousin are/were both linemen in the Monroe area. They love it.
I do indeed. In fact, this May will mark 12 years working there.
I actually find myself in our Newport (downriver / Monroe County) service area a lot. I work with the folks down there rather often actually and know many of them.
it is gently raining outside
Still says 3-5 inches possible.
I got hit by 2 F-3 Tornados in February here in Florida. I think I'm good on death storms for now...
Just drizzle here at work (Southfield). My wife is saying we're getting snow at home (Troy). This commute is gonna suck balls.
Lansing had 2 inches when I woke up this morning. It was clear until 9:30 or so and it hasn't really let up all day. Can't tell how much snow we've gotten yet but supposed to have 5-8 inches.
Has been rain until now. It's supposed to snow for the next six hours.
Now to sports... Tigers dropped a game to Pirates 4-2.
Here in Cleveland we're under a gentle rain but the forecast turns ugly....REAL UGLY tomorow with temperatures expected to plummet into the 30's and they're calling for 1 to 1.5 inches of snow! This should be epic to say the least. I don't think I've ever seen a storm that brutal before and if we survive it (and please keep me an my family in your prayers) then we're going to have find a way to move that one inch of snow.
To say you bastards have gone soft since I left in 1981 would be an understatement. I feel like I'm talking to whole bunch of people from Atlanta who collectively shit the bed when they saw the first flakes fly last year.
Damn! All that bread and milk is gone... :-)
Grand rapids here. Another 6 inches so far with 3-4 more to go.
Obviously, it's still winter here. That's why JH took the boys to Florida! Hell, the SEC thinks it snows here in July...
Yeah what do they think this is the Rockies?
Snow in July is a proud tradition in the mountains.
Now it's really snowing hard in Ann Arbor. Good times. I hope the kids have school tomorrow. Working from home has its advantages...and drawbacks.
My 5 year old likes to burst into my office during conference calls.

Had to take a dog-sled team down the driveway to get the mail.
I laughed and in that spirit...

Chocolate vodka sounds pretty damn nice. 82 though...too damn hot I feel for you!
He lost me at Chocolate vodka. Yuck.
Strange....the snow is coming across moreso than coming down. Roads are shatty in Chelsea area.
In Tecumseh, it started to sleet around 4 PM. Then it snowed. The drive home was about a 40 MPH roll down M-52 all the way into Adrian. And it's getting worse out by the minute.
It's not the snow. It's the sleet underneath.
I live in Tuscola County. We have 10 inches of snow on the ground. And it's still snowing. Wind is blowing pretty good. Looking like a snow day on Wednesday.
and more coming. nice. it's winter. let it snow. next month, let it melt.
A couple inches of snow, and some drivers in Michigan act like it's a foot. Got stuck behind someone going about 20 mph in a 45. Fortunately got to Carpenter, which has 2 lanes, so I was able to pass. 35-40 isn't unreasonable on a straightaway without much traffic. But 20?!?! Cumong, man!
