Well, Ya. I wanted to meet the Hooligans at the range today so we stayed an extra day. Normally we leave the day after a class.
Sorry

I knew it!!!! Haha -just joshing with ya.
Yep, tomorrow during the day through the evening is the worst we're gonna get from the storm.
At work on Friday I overheard one of our 'leaders' say something about he planned to fill his tank and go grocery shopping.
I stopped by BassPro today their flashlight section was mostly bare.
About 10 minutes ago I got a text from my work saying that 'liberal vacation' was authorized, meaning that if anyone is affected or spooked by the weather they can not show up and be just charged for leave.
How can anyone live in Maryland or really anywhere in the US over the last few years and not be thinking about some basic preparedness?

I have convinced the wife that we need to leave earlier. Our plans were to leave around noon(checkout time). Instead we may get going around 8AM.
Guess I won't be able to stop by the gun shops on the way. It's about a 4 hour drive in good weather. The tank is full we have supplies if we need to stop and hunker down on the way.
Between friends and family we are normally only a short drive from shelter.

That is exactly why when I built a log home on top of Savage Mt that I went with a 10/12 pitch metal roof. It slides right off.

The nearby TV stations are saying nothing about the snow, in fact some are just showing all rain. But the NWS is still showing a Blizzard Warning, and seems to have up'd the snow accumulations to 8-14inches at the time of this post. Im sure that will change again.
Here is the latest report:

Wondering how you made out Joe. Appreciated your reports during the last hurricane. Wind and rain are starting to really pick up here in Baltimore.

We did very well this time around. Nothing more than a blustery day or two. Carolyn and I actually went out to the movies yesterday afternoon. The storm surge was light and there is very little damage where we are. The OBX, of course, took the usual lashing.

And yet the NWS has changed snow accumulations from the storm. It keeps going up everytime they update it.

The NWS can't make up their minds. I've seen recent forecasts of 9 to 13" overnight plus another 4 to 11" tomorrow. Since the temp is around freezing now it'll be a very interesting 24 hours out here.

The snow is really coming down now. About 5-6 inches on the deck and more to come.

I noticed the wind is starting to pick up too. Probably good, that it put a layer of snow on the roof, before the winds come. I really do not want to have to pick up any more roof shingles.

We've got two threads going. Maybe the mods can merge them?

DCR, your place is at a little higher altitude. No doubt that's getting you more snow.
Hey Buff, WTF are those orange things on your deck table in the pic you posted in the other thread? Pumpkins? Whoa...That's a range opp...!
