    Not strange at all to get a couple of inches of snow. But a foot of snow is a lot!

    They're now talking upwards of two feet of snow before the storm is done.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      They're predicting up to three feet for Redneckland (aka Allegany County)! There's already about 15 inches.

          And how much is a foot in the metric system?

              A foot is 30 cm in the metric system. I just got in from shoveling snow. It's terrible out there. I didn't measure, but there's about 20 inches now.

                It should continue until 5:00 pm tomorrow. Tonight we might have sleet, even though it will be 21 degrees.

                    The People's Republic of Maryland had said that anyone who tries to drive on state roads or interstate highways in Maryland would be fined $1000.

                        Ah looks like my hometown is really taking it. It's also really bad up here, sidewalks are nearly unwalkable.

                          We've got alot of Ice from this storm... probably between 1 and 2 inches of ice buildup. Hope the freakin power stays on.

                          North Carolina just doesn't know how to handle this crap. Makes me laugh.

                              Jesus, you'd think a neutron bomb went off in the city. There are virtually no cars on the road and half of the side streets are unplowed.

                                We have 21" on the back deck. (Thats about 53 cm for you folks in metric land.) All of it fell since 2 am local time, about 21 hours. Looks like it just changed over to sleet, so maybe we won't see too much more accumulation (not that I would mind it). Shoveled a two-car driveway twice today, so I am pretty beat right now. The main streets have been plowed out and are in surprisingly good shape. But we are the last house on a dead-end street (excuse me - cul de sac), so it may be awhile before we see a plow.

                                You folks in New York and New England may be in for even more than we got.
